November 3rd, 2025 -- First Entry + Thoughts on ACNH Update!

My first entry! I don't have much to write about right at this moment, mainly because Florida has cooled down finally
and, as someone with major summer depression, I am feeling so elated lately. Even my chronic conditions have stopped
giving me an issue. I know it's temporary, as I usually can't go more than a week or two before it flares again,
but I will happily enjoy it while I can.

In other news, that Animal Crossing update!? I really did think ACNH was never getting updated again (probably
because they literally said it wasn't) so this surprise update shocked me to my coooooore. I haven't really played
much in a year or so, but I reset my save the second I watched the trailer. Honestly, I felt I had hit a roadblock
from seeing so many good islands that I wanted mine to be big and grand, but it often felt too overwhelming, too
ambitious, and too demotivating. I decided to reset and not time travel, at least for a little while, so I can
re-experience what it was like opening up the game in 2020 for the first time again. I'm gonna go for a swampy
fairycore kind of theme, which was my first ever island's theme and an aesthetic that comes very naturally for me
instead of the more difficult concept I wanted to achieve: a grimey cityscape.

The really cool thing about this update coming is that you can now have more islands, and you can choose the size.
Which makes me happy because I want to attempt the city theme again, but on a smaller island and one that isn't my
main island. That way, when it becomes too overwhelming, I can easily leave the dream island and just hang out on
my main island. I hope that makes sense, lol. Anyway, I know people are divided on the hotel bit (I don't mind it
at all, and that's coming from someone who has the DLC and has played it A LOT), but can we talk about BULK
CRAFTING?????? I can't believe the day is coming where I don't have to craft ONE BY ONE AHHHHHH. Now if only they
made bulk eating fruit and took away the ability to erase QR code placements when not in terraform mode. One can
only hope, right?

I do wonder what this means for the future of Animal Crossing. Are they working on the next installment? Is ACNH
going to be updated more? Honestly, I wish they just went the route of making paid DLCs and such for ACNH instead
of this possibility of a new game. I just feel like ACNH is solid, and has a good basis to improve on so what's the
point of a new one? Plus it's gonna be, what, $70?? I'd so totally pay $5-$10 for little DLC furniture packs and such
tbh, and they'd probably make more money in the long run. I don't know, just my opinion. I guess we'll see what the
future holds for this game series.

Anyway, I've yapped enough today. My shift ends in 20 minutes so I should probably get ready to leave lmfao. Thank
you for reading this far, have a wonderful day!
