ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

[bcmii]

I thought this would be a fun thread, since it is different from the serious complaints that people have in the rant thread.

This is your time to be petty: What are some small/tiny things that slightly peeve you in the game, but make a very small or no difference to the actual gameplay?

Please note: this is all in good fun and I am in no way trying to act as if these are serious complaints that make that big of a difference in the game!

For me, here are the first two that immediately come to mind:

First off, why does the loading screen icon show a palm tree growing on the grass, but in the actual game, you can only plant them in the sand?

There's also the fact that K.K. tells you to sit down for his performances, only to have everyone jump back up as soon as the music begins.

Gulliver, Orville, and Isabelle talk waaay too much

 

[Nefarious]

Isabelle keeps losing the same sock behind the washer, maybe it's a sign to start washing those socks by paw instead.

 

[MapleSilver]

Every time I get a DIY from Flora she talks about Maglev Mike's relationship problems. It's been over a year, can the writers of Maglevs in Love think of any other plot for their show?

 

[kayleee]

That flowers and DIYs cannot be put in storage!

An actual complaint I just thought of, but is still not that big of a deal, is the fact that you cannot go back in the dialogue if you accidentally hit the wrong button at the airport. No, they make you restart the dialogue and go through the long process of disconnecting and reconnecting to the internet to just choose a different option. Why? Why must Nintendo make anything involving internet connectivity so over-complicated and counter-intuitive?

Villagers you have high friendships with should not move when you take pictures of them. I just want a picture of Punchy sitting underneath a tree.

Eh......I wish certain villagers were allowed to wear pants.

She also repeatedly talks a lot about her tv show habits. Like, I think she needs to get a new hobby too Get some fresh air, haha.

I can’t remember which villager personality it is but there’s dialogue where they basically say that Isabelle developed the island. Ummmm what? Last time I checked Nook and his nephews were here first. She didn’t show up until later. And what does she do exactly?? What is her job title? I’m the one who paid for these bridges and inclines. I’ve never seen her spend a bell on this island or plant a flower. You could remove her from the game and it would make no difference.

 

[MelodyRivers]

That we can’t sit in chairs with arms when placed behind a desk
We can’t sit in bathtubs or pools
We can’t store diys, flowers etc

Okay so. If I see a villager in the Able Sister's store and they're looking at shoes they almost always comment about how, "odd" the shoes are. Because they don't need them, they don't know how they'd wear them, or whatever else. I swear I've had other dialogue too where they basically just confirm they have no need for socks or shoes.

So why are there times when they're selling me shoes?? If you don't need them why are you buying them Where are you getting these shoes from?? It's such a minor thing lmao but still. I suppose they could be getting them from balloons but I never see them popping any

oml that’s exactly what i was thinking. in real life, we don’t just eat fruit and eggs right? although one could argue that most of us play AC to escape real life. still, snacks would be nice

Haha. I was literally just thinking about how Nook doesn’t really need Isabelle. Did he really need to hire someone just to make morning announcements about the details of their personal life that literally nobody asked about? That, and the only other job she actually has to do on a daily basis is dust the office. Like really, what does she offer that is so important that you specifically flew her out to the island? Haha. Nook takes care of the important details of the island, anyways...

Omg idea. What if we could get energy bars or energy drinks out of the machine that would give us the ability to run really fast for a little bit. Just for fun.

OMG, this. Someone call Nintendo up ASAP.

Another thing: Why, oh why, is Kapp’n missing in the game about a tropical island, of all things? Such a missed opportunity.

 

[Dunquixote]

Let me have a sandwich with my villagers (or use that sandwich to decorate with ). Need more food and drink items now.

i want the food and drink machines to give me snacks

I’ve been wanting them to dispense pop bottles and cans, or juice drink or to decorate with since I started playing last May. Chip bags or candy bars from the machine. I’d prefer them to be furniture items than consumable since there is a limit to how many dropped islands you can have before it reduces your island’s score. but i’d like some cute interaction if it is a furniture item. Or maybe it have both types and be like those fortune cookies were where the item you get is random.

I want to ride on the teacup ride so it can spin me round like a record.
