I have questions

[quenepacrossing]

Which AC game was your first? What aspect of the game really drew you in? 😊

ACNH was my very first video game ever! even though my brother and best friend and partner are all big gamers i could never get into it.

Truthfully, what got me into ACNH was Canberra. Not lying! She was a starter on my partner’s island and he didn’t like her look and my brain was just like “oh she’s yours to love and protect now” lol. So i watched him a lot and learned some lore. Once i realize you can’t win and it’s not competitive at all, and you can just vibe and use it as a creative outlet there was no going back.

so I’ve been playing acnl for like two weeks now. it’s been super fun and I even figured out a trick to catching bugs on trees. but the thing that stands out to me the most. is that everyone is SO GODDAMN NICE. I’ve only interacted with two real people. one let me take whatever fruit I wanted from their town and then donated 50k bells to my bridge. the other one I just met on Club Tortimer and they GAVE ME A MILLION BELLS???? JUST OUT OF NOWHERE??? THEY DIDN’T EVEN WANT ANYTHING IN RETURN??? whoever said video games cause violence never experienced a total stranger wearing a halo and Hawaiian shirt run in circles, accidentally scare a moth you were trying to catch, and then giving you a million bells for no clear reason.

also if anyone wants to be friends my town kind of sucks right now but I have pears, peaches, bananas, lychee, and durian and weirdly good luck with rare bugs. like I’ve already caught three or four bird wings and just caught a golden stag and I haven’t been playing more than two weeks. my friend code is 2251-9734-0905. you can dm me your code if you don’t want it floating around the internet.

In 2020, I proceeded to put over 3000 hours of my life into ACNH.

I have not touched the game 6 months.

Nature is healing.

Todays rip: 19/07/2023

Moves Like K.K.

Season 1 Featured on: Gurando no Mori

Ripped by Chaze the Chat

There's no shame in hiding it - SiIvaGunner, and more specifically Chaze, made me a full-on fan of Maroon 5. I'm unsure of how much of a shared experience it is, but for a very long time I effectively didn't listen to music outside of ones from the video games I played, as non-VGM just never did much for me. That feeling still lingers a slight bit for me, and I've speculated that its due to me feeling like I need some sort of prior attachment to the music in order for it to really click for me. A piece of music written for a boss fight just becomes all the more gripping when you can directly recall lines of dialogue from the boss fight, your original thoughts from when you played the fight, and the atmosphere presented as a whole.

My funky brain aside, having been a SiIva watcher for such a long time has given me a similar sort of attachment to many of its recurring jokes and memes. Thanks to Chaze, one of those recurring jokes just so happened to be Maroon 5, a band I was only partially familiar with beforehand. Through Chaze's repeated use of their songs, particularly in Season 1 and 2, it dawned on me just how many of them actually WERE familiar to me, and how much they actually did bang when I was actually invested in them. SiIva gives people a community to listen to music together with every two or four hours a day, along with having that music be intrinsically tied to media you likely are already familiar with. Such was the case for me here - the Animal Crossing Movie was one of my first true favorite films and one I cherish dearly, in large part due to its music, with K.K. Bossa in particular hitting me like a train on every visit.

A simple mashup though it be, its kind of a funky idea for one, isn't it? Mashing up tearjerking orchestral bossa nova with modern Maroon 5's typical radiopop doesn't feel like it should work, yet the mood of both songs still manage to shine through - the upbeat passion of Moves like Jagger, alongside the relaxing vibes and nostalgia of K.K. Bossa somehow blend together to form an absolutely stellar feel-good vibe. And right as I type this, listening to the song in the background, I hear my favorite little touch in the song - a discrete whistle of the Flintstones theme playing in the background of the song's end. Through the years I've had this track in my playlist for, that whistle always manages to take that happy feeling and turn it into something bittersweet, connecting the track to the Season 1 finale it was released so close to. The feelings that the channel was about to end were at an alltime high when this album released, and this song has always carried that weight in a really special way.

For me, there's lots of nostalgia present with this one. Lots of emotions, too. Never underestimate the potency of a well-placed mashup.

HOORAH!!!!! SHAMPOODLE IS HERE

[bootown]

my beautiful and wonderful friend gave me his old ancl cartridge so guess who started up on that grind earlier

[goldwand-island]

Oh my god Stinky moved off my island in New Horizons and now, after starting a new save on New Leaf, he's one of my starting villagers

[the-town-of-twix]

Question for the ACNH community - if I want to move a side account from one existing island to another, can I move my stuff with me or do I still have to largely start fresh?

For some context, my old switch may not have any life left in it for prolonged moving plans, so if the account can't take their house/inventory with them I need to know bc it may just not be worth the effort.

Stole my shovel and can’t even decide if she wants to live here

[acnl-dusty]

gaston has just moved into town! he's not a villager I would've chosen for myself, but it'll be interesting having another cranky villager around!
