this post epitomises the post-hoc apologia nonsense AC core fans love to spew when people complain about its UI

and it’s dumb because it’s most likely just obtuse Japanese working culture practices at work rather than underwater 4D chess game design, ffs https://reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/fxn2bn/some_thoughts_about_the_inconveniences_in_acnh/

lbr there’s infinitely more plausible reasons given what we know of JP work culture:

- Galapagos syndrome
- We didn’t create that feature ergo we can’t put it in the game
- Appeal to tradition
- The boss hates it
- We’re over karoushi quota this Q

But uhhh as a long-time fan of the AC series for over 20 years, you can’t compare my beloved franchise’s new darling to modern day game UI/UX design best practices because *makes up-and-down motions with closed fist*

hope Isabel sees this, bro

just going to add to this thread whenever I find more of this fanboying shit, shut up jfc https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/fyzr0i/fishing_tourneys_will_be_held_on_the_second/

you can't make this up. in fact, if you did, people would criticise your writing for being two-dimensional because no real person is going to talk like this, except when they do

sorry that you started playing this game when you were 7 and you've been unable to distinguish between technological limitations and decrepit grandfathered shit for the sake of tradition ever since then
