my super inflammatory game design opinion is that no game should ever encourage you to to play every day. yes, this includes animal crossing.

Also you have to go on an apology shame tour where all your villiagers guilt you mercilessly the next time you interact with them and it’s like holy shit I don’t need this from cartoon animals. Just let me it on my little outfits and move around trees in peace you guys

Me fr. And the weeeds!!! I stopped playing like 6 months ago and I'm terrified to go back!

tom nook is NOT a landlord!!! he is a construction worker! he SELLS you a WHOLE HOUSE! He is not CHARGING YOU however many bells a month to live there! You PURCHASE a HOME that he BUILDS FOR YOU and then you PAY HIM FOR HIS SERVICE. He charges no interest he sets no time limit it is a relationship built on trust. the only penalty you get for not paying off your home is that he won't build more home until you pay him for the first one. A guy that builds you a house wherever you want him to and then charges you for the cost of construction is not a landlord you own the fucking home

He is, however, in the mafia
