I mainly come to tumblr to look for art of my ocs because its the only place with any semblance of organization (tags)

I haven’t been using my AC blog because it feels like theres pressure to create New Content to post otherwise whats the point of using it. I guess reblogging others but i feel weird if I dont post at least 1 thing.

Otherwise I just use it to lurk and like stuff

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN!?!?!?!? HOW IS PLAYING THE GAME AS INTENDED A NEW CONCEPT??? Who on earth resets their island frequently enough to warrant this besides animal crossing youtubers 😭😭😭😭😭😭 …i havent even finished decorating my island and i have over 100 hours….WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE??!?!?!?

DONT LET CONTENT-IFICATION DO THIS TO YOU!!! AESTHETIC DOESN”T MATTER JUST LIVE YOUR LIFE!!!!!!! EVEN JUST UR SILLY LITTLE ANIMAL CROSSING LIFE!!!!

This is so sad Animal Crossing is supposed to BE the no-pressure game 😭 Like i am also amazed by some of those gorgeous “aesthetic” islands like they’re so well made and I can understand your tastes changing over time but…not like this man 😭 Please at least get into the Sims or minecraft or something where there’s a dedicated creative mode and playing with an aesthetic can be a quick exercise and not like…destroy hours of your previous diary-like gameplay Q-Q i dunno man i just cannot imagine playing this way

like man i understand the appeal of keeping an aesthetic, for something like animal crossing (I too have a VERY LOOSE aesthetic on my animal crossing island), like it’s satisfying in the way that making a mood board is where everything just fits in and creates an atmosphere…

…but then because part of the appeal is that everything works together and builds off each other to create an atmosphere I can understand the feeling of needing to make sure EVERYTHING fits and having to fix an islands name or change the villagers…

but man that level of perfectionism is so sad when comparing it to Animal Crossing’s original purpose as just a daily life simulator, a slice of life game. The game is purposefully low-key to be as low-pressure and calming as possible (minus a few dashes of spice in the bees and tarantulas and sassy villagers when those were a thing).

Grass degradation in the past games was SPECIFICALLY to discourage running, to force the player to just take it easy (granted, it was a TERRIBLE way to do so, but the developers intentions come through)

It’s sad to think it can be a source of pressure to people because they want their island to live up to an idealized version! It’s cheesy but it’s hard not to see it as a microcosm of how social media aesthetics can make someone feel about their own daily life and presentation.

Like…it’s to the point where the typical player’s island is ITS OWN AESTHETIC BRAND

And like I totally LOVE seeing some of the gorgeous island designs out there. The way people have “fun” playing a game can vary, and as someone whose FAVORITE feature is the island designing (I refuse to go back to the previous games bc of this as much as i LOVE them) I can totally see why this may be the focus of someone’s animal crossing experience

but man it’s sad to hear people burn themselves out on this…or delete their whole islands when I see the game as almost like a living daily journal……or that people feel bad because it’s not 100% matching an aesthetic or whatever - Like man if you can’t decide a theme, it’s okay to have an island where you have one aesthetic on one side and another on the other half or something! Different little sections of the island! It’s okay to just play the happy home designer mode obsessively like i do to get that creative itch….IDK it just hurts to see because animal crossing is not a game that respects your time when it comes to this….and that’s partially because it wasn’t really designed around this either!!

I kinda like having a specific aesthetic island for the visual and to limit myself with what I can use (gothic island) but it also makes me stuck on ideas on what more I can do with it that I get stuck and dont want to update it anymore.

Yeah its kinda sad to see when people get discouraged from playing or hate their island. That they compare their island to others. But idk if its all social medias fault but this game did also seem like it went more the direction of being a decorating sim more than the past games that felt more laid back simple life sims.
