Guess it's a good thing I'm still playing at 1am. Caught three snapping turtles and shot down a balloon w/30k as the present

I caught the fucking stupid fish 15 minutes before midnight, but honestly had a revelation in those final moments that this part of the game is simply not worth the stress. I'm sitting there like, "you know what, fuck this fish, this game is way more awesome than this wannabe GACHA bullshit."
From now on I'm done keeping up with the joneses on this game. Most of it is time travelling and exploiting anyway. Just saying for anyone feeling some dissonance about not catching fish or making enough bells or whatever

Making tarantula islands sucks now. There are giant water beetles which really slow down the process of spawning tarantulas.
Nah, man. I'm tripling down on that beast of a fish. I'll terraform my island to be nothing but clifftop rivers. I'll destroy all the trees and ponds that can summon unwanted creatures. I'll chase everyone out of town who stands in my way, including that damn raccoon. I'll spend the next 8 months training for the moment that beast reappears. I shall capture and all but destroy that unconquering stringfish. I shall grapple with thee and from hell's heart stab at thee. For hate's sake, I will capture that beast as I spit my last breath.
I lost it all bros. I time travelled 24 hours into the past to hunt for a stringfish (still never found it after 1.5 hours and dozens of fish bait of searching) gave up on it, came back to the present only to find out that my turnips insta spoiled. Plus some dumbshit villager named Queenie moved in without my permission. My peas are so steamed right now.
I caught the stringfish after using ~5 bait in the highest point of the river on my island. Given the talk here, I figured I was just lucky. So I stocked up on 30+ bait and invited my sister over to help her get one too. ~5 bait later and she had it too.
Funny thing is she then went home to deliver it to Blathers and it turns out she already caught it like 5 days ago, and she barely, barely fishes in this game.
Is it called a "yellow parka"? Cause I have a "simple parka" that's yellow
The game keeps track of when you play. If you travel back to an hour you already played, the game instantly realizes the paradox and all the time based stuff gets messed up. Hence the turnips spoil and the villagers basically act like a day changed.
Didn't you learn anything from Avengers Endgame? (Lol)
My wife and I noticed tonight that we both have a "secret beach" at the north end of our islands. I assume every map has one. It's a very small beach area that's only accessible by laddering down the backside of the cliffs.
What's the deal with this area? Should we be checking there every day for events? Are there fish that can only be caught there? Or is it just a fun little hidden space for people who fully explore their island (not that it's THAT hidden, it's clearly visible on the map)?

Seeing all the bug and fish lists and how many species the Southern Hemisphere has, I was wondering why the game makes that separation. I chose northern because that's where I actually live, but it really seems like I'm getting the short end of the stick from a collecting perspective.
So my question is: what's the upside to living in the Northern Hemisphere?

Soooo, NGL... The first time I caught a zebra turkeyfish, I thought it was an April Fool's Day joke. XD
I showed my wife Animal Crossing a couple of days ago.. at first she was like me.. an ok time sink. Sort of..
Then yesterday she asked if she could play on my profile.. go ahead I said..
4 hours later I went to bed - She was still playing.
And when I woke up this morning she wasnt in bed, she went up early to play more Animal Crossing.
I think I've lost my wife :P

I've been wondering if they intend to add something there at some point.
Having the seasons match real life. You'll still get access to all the same bugs and fish. They have more right now because summer is ending there.
A natural reaction. I got GC Animal Crossing for christmas as a like 2nd grader. I woke up an hour early everyday for 6 months to hang out with my villagers in the mornings.
Thats how I always play AC. I used to stress myself with the DS one (I think it was the DS one) but now I am super chill and just go through a small checklist each day unless some event is happening.
Every day, you get 2 weeds growing back. I got rid of everything from my island, so I know what and where to find:
1 wasp hive
2 weeds
4 fossils
6 rocks
They all spawn in the same area and same location, so I guaranteed myself I get to use a net, or medicine, whenever I shake that 1 particular tree.
This kind of thinking being so prevelant right now is actually baffling. You're on the right track with just not caring about "keeping up"
People are min-maxing their time, gunning for progression as quickly as possible, grinding out every possible resource they can, obsessing about every minute detail they can't control, or obsessing about how other people are advancing/obtaining things on a different timeline to them.
People are playing AC in a way I've really never experienced in nearly 20 years with the series and it's actually making me want to just step away from the community. It's kind of wild.
I got some boxes for you
EDIT: Sorry, I thought you meant regular cardboard boxes. I didn't know there was a Medium size.
Sorry about that. I misread your post. I didn't know they had different size cardboard boxes in the game.
I never cared about the fish in the first place. It aint that serious to me :D
I just need 3 regular cardboard boxes to make the medium one. Yeah I don't get it either. Sorry I wasn't clear.

All Fish & Bugs Coming To Animal Crossing: New Horizons in April
Here's a look at all of the new fish and bugs arriving in Animal Crossing: New Horizons beginning in April.heavy.com
This is not a complete list. So far today I've caught several of the ones listed here, but also a Butterfly fish (ocean) and a Rajah Brooke's birdwing (green butterfly).
Also, the only thing those common bluebottles are good for is making you have to run closer to check and see if it might be an Emperor instead. Well, that and some really funny wordplay.
hehe we'll see what happens from now on, I might have to buy a new Switch for myself if this continues ;P
I'm mostly past the initial disappointment of the shitty shared island/primary player being the major thing (mostly because the GF doesn't seem that interested in the game right now, so I'd be the only one playing it), and now I'm again somewhat intrigued about it, so here's a question cause I've never played AC before: is this a game where you end up creating like an actual small town in the long run? House and yard decoration is cool and all but a bit limited, but if I got to place shops and various other buildings wherever I want, create paths and parks and such and in general just slowly work towards making the island look exactly how I want it to, I'd be much more interested.
I see there's a mention of designing the island in the OP, but that's just about terraforming and laying paths.

Flick just paid off my loan and then thanked me for it. What a good dude.
The choice is there so that people who live in the Southern Hemisphere get their seasons at the right time, that's all. I know this launching earlier in the year can make the available bugs/fish seem kinda lackluster in the North - I've also been thinking about all the fishing I did in New Leaf, which came out in June and I mainly played during that summer - but all those fish are just a few months away and we'll have them for longer.
You can choose where buildings are/move where buildings are. Construct bridges and ramps. Terraform to make more rivers or less and create or destroy cliffs. And of course you can put paths down in various styles. It's very possible to create parks, orchards and divide the island into districts like a small town.
Landscaping is a pretty huge part of what you're asking for, though. And yes, you can choose where the shops and museum go, and you can change them later. Same for all the houses. You can lay fences, plant trees, place furniture, etc. to build parks and stuff, absolutely. I have a shitty bamboo forest and a shitty orchard because I need the landscaping tool to actually shape them properly, but they'll look aces when done.
But if you mean like "actual small town" like a proper city builder game, then no.
Cheers I'm in the same boat. Hate that I wasted so much time trying for it. haha.
