Longvintner, the game where you play chibi Victor Davis Hanson shooting waves of antifa thugs coming to burn your Napa Valley vineyards

i genuinely think this is why i like it. this is the modern nintendo aesthetic in a lot of ways, and they only get past that by having tons of extremely talented people pouring their hearts into things like clothing designs in animal crossing. take that away and you get, like, Super Mario Party which is about as gutless and heartless a game as Iâve ever played.
so when you have that heartless nintendo aesthetic copied unthinkinglyâŚexcept now with AK-47s?? it feels like an unintentional work of art to me and i love how stupid it is. like, what if banksy was trying to sell tshirts in disneyland vibes, absolutely soulless trash in the best possible way
okay yeah this is bad though

yeah thats fair! this is definitely a to each their own situation; i think iâm just way too jaded re: corpo art that i canât find any joy in the car crash. also because i canât help but look at every single element of this game down to those lincoln logs ass trees and think âoh this thing doesnât have a designer without a âUXâ in their title does itâ and it shrivels me up inside lol
but thank you for this extremely powerful image

Feels greedy to wish they had added more to this game, and yetâŚ
Whereâs my weird emotional Axolotl. Whereâs the shady otter (weasel?). Whereâs the cat with the blank face. Where are the pelican sisters.
I gotta settle for playing dress up in exchange for some bland clothes and shaking awake two different flavors of Gulliver.

it really makes me wanna go back and play the first one because it was much weirder and a little more confrontational, even though itâs got likeâŚexponentially less âstuffâ. Impossible to separate nostalgie from quality for me though

i finally gave up and time travelled to get my final fish to complete the museum, the spooky cookies, and the maypole item thatâs coming up soon. at this point iâve got fossils buried and branches along the back side so they donât appear, transparent squares to stop flowers from growing and the beautify ordinance on to stop any cockroaches and limit weed growth to like 2 a day. my island is pretty encased in amber at this point and my daily routine is mostly down to hunting for a few last diys just âto have themâ and waiting for a throne to show up in the store although there are a handful of room improvements iâm still planning. itâs been pretty fun for me although i havenât played the other ones. the things i hear about from the old games that want the most are the online minigames, 7/11 items, zelda/splatoon items, and the megaphone to call the villager you want. i mean of course i want every single item from pocket camp too they get all the good stuff

I may just give in and Groundhog Day the hell out of April 1st through 10th just so I can farm me some cherry blossoms and recipes.
Like I get it, I get it, but also, I work full time. Balloons are infrequent. How am I supposed to get my bonsai table when you do this to me, Animal Crossing?

depending on how crazy you want to go in balloon farming, they do come on a set pattern from the left side before 6pm and from the right side after 6pm. they will either be coming every ten minutes on the 4s (:04,:14,:24 etc) or the 9s and take about 60 seconds to get to the beach. if you go inside for a bit you can change the pattern from a 9 pattern or a 4 pattern or vice versa. for instance if you see something at 1:04 instead of waiting for 1:14 you can go inside for a bit you can change it so the next one comes at 1:09. you can also put up a row of jail bars/climbing walls or any other tall object along the beach to force the balloon down to you if you donât want to walk up and down. anyway all of this is a pain in the ass so i can understand if you donât want to do it lol

nothing will ever be worse than the first bunny day though, ten days after the game comes out, everybody trying to get resources for the first time, much higher egg spawn rate, 12 entire days long, taking place during the cherry blossom season and a fishing tournament. just a disaster

Iâll always wonder a bit whether the intense visceral reaction against Motherfucking Bunny Day MMXX altered the course for subsequent planned/seasonal events.

It definitely altered Bunny Day at least, so I imagine they might have retuned the other holidays as well.

I can finally stop giving my wife grief for letting Roald, Pudge and Sandy leave the island because sheâs apparently recruited Tex, a âsmugâ Spanish-speaking Humbolt penguin. What a get.

Itâs amazing how fast âanimal crossing with Scrooge as Tom nookâ got me hype and how quickly the human model ended it.
