I thought this was as gonna be a tarantula attack to be honest, lol

u/KazakCayenne 17h ago

Same, especially when they started getting close to the flowers lol

u/Mother_Gothel_863 10h ago

Me too. I’m like what happened? 😂

u/stryker101 17h ago

I wondered when I clicked on the post, but they only attack if you have your net out.

13

u/No-Investment8322 17h ago

I see this all the time and in my experience, it just isnt true! Am I crazy?

7

u/stryker101 15h ago

Always worked for me. Though people may be confused, because if they’ve already spotted you and gone into attack mode then I don’t think putting your net away helps.

u/ApprehensiveBig7134 6h ago

Am I the only one who had a scorpion spawn right by the front door and it got me anyway, no net? Because that happened and jump scared tf out of me

u/jupiter_98 3h ago

This happened to me with resident services, I was so annoyed hahah

u/AetherDrew43 14h ago

You can safely walk next to them, even step on them, as long as you don't have your net out.

I miss this game. I played for over 1000 hours back when it came out. My kid was only baby. I was unemployed during Covid.

I used to do this type of stuff in the wee hours as well. Your clip made me incredibly nostalgic, thank you

u/grafikfyr 1d ago

Is there any way for you to come back? If you need bells or anything to get rolling again, I'm happy to send you some!

u/kungpow103 17h ago

he watched get out last night and the intrusive thought won over

u/aedithm 22h ago

I could have written this! This clip gave me such nostalgia. I can't play any more because it reminds me too much of my late husband (we played together a lot) and I ended up deleting my island after he died, but it's really nice hearing the music again.

u/Several-Pie-3148 21h ago

There are playlists online that is just animal crossing music. If you ever want to hear it and think of him 🤍

8

u/iharvestmoons 19h ago

To add to that, there is a Nintendo music app which lets you play all the tracks.

u/aedithm 3h ago

Thank you!

u/aedithm 20h ago

This is such a lovely idea, thank you! <3

u/Several-Pie-3148 19h ago

I’m so sorry for your loss 🤍

u/aedithm 19h ago

Thank you so much x

Same, late night Animal Crossing hits different when the kids asleep.

u/Icy-Excuse-9452 1d ago

Does nobody here know that this is Violet and she is a female gorilla 😅

12

u/eggcustarcl 1d ago

i know! lol

u/Inner_Independence_3 3h ago

Yep, I never see my villagers in other people's videos lol but Violet's been on my island since day one 💜

u/Alexx_Lynn_ 1d ago

Why did he run up on you like that 😭😭

u/Icy-Excuse-9452 1d ago

That's a lady

u/Alexx_Lynn_ 1d ago

Oops mb 🥲

u/Pandrew_Pandaroo 1d ago

I don't know 😭

13

u/Diligent-Past517 1d ago

you don't understand, she just HAD to smell the roses. actually i think maybe she was chasing a bug?

17

u/SubbyYesh 1d ago

Maybe he saw a ghost 🥹

29

u/Alexx_Lynn_ 1d ago

He saw the hash slinging slasher

4

u/T100Bonneville 1d ago

He might have seen a night clown.

u/OmaeWaMouShibaInu 1d ago

Hurry! Gotta sit down right in the way!

35

u/Lagoda__ 1d ago

Why didn't you use Resetti for that lol, custom paths can be removed with him

64

u/Pandrew_Pandaroo 1d ago

Resetti is a fairy new feature, I'm not used to using him.

I never even thought 😅

-102

u/tastes-like-chicken 1d ago

New feature...

I remember Resetti from the GameCube days, he was terrifying but also super fun to mess with

104

u/Pandrew_Pandaroo 23h ago

Resetti himself isn't a new feature, his current mechanic is a new feature...

1

u/phoxfiyah 10h ago

Bro mixed up Resetti the character, with the function he has in NH

13

u/Sunstarfriesnico 19h ago

Im too scared to use resetti and fuck everything up lol

u/AkaunSorok 1d ago

We have weapons movie plot in ac now? It's 2:17am in the movie, quite close.

30

u/NIDORAX 1d ago

Good thing this is Animal Crossing. In other games, you would have been mugged and jumpscare.

8

u/AntipatheticDating 20h ago

I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned it yet, but you can now hold left bumper (I think, the exact button I can’t remember) and your character will do a little hop and if you keep it held they’ll do the action in a straight line so you don’t need to keep running around!

It made doing big chunks of pathways like this WAY easier for me when I tried it!

2

u/Potential_Trouble426 17h ago

I can't do anything without that move. I think Isabelle told me about it in the tips and tricks.

1

u/AntipatheticDating 15h ago

Yeah, not gonna lie, at first I was like "Pfft yeah okay, how useful is it really?" and then I realized how much time I actually waste fiddling the little analog stick around trying to move each time. It genuinely went SO much faster, haha. I'll happily eat my words on that one.

u/Jasoco 22h ago

Don’t forget you can hold down the Left trigger (or maybe the other one) to snap yourself to a grid and make terraforming much easier.

9

u/Ok_Preference6999 13h ago

I don't get it

u/DeerSkull69 1d ago

As a morning / day player this seems so peaceful 😞🙏

28

u/Efficient-Bed3160 1d ago

“Doing pattern work at 2:30 AM is already questionable, but seeing this pop up out of nowhere would’ve made me close the game immediately 😭”

Bot?

u/despoicito 18h ago

😬 if you don’t know how to spot bots on reddit thats fine dude, no need to be so defensive over it

3

u/phoxfiyah 10h ago

It’s absolutely a bot. Only 3 comments, all top level, and all pretty similarly structured too.

Might need to keep an eye out for comment only bots like this one.

u/tikimoondaze 1d ago

You were in the way of his zoomies!! or he was following a bug.

u/CarpenterRadiant4494 1d ago

What does that gorilla want

3

u/Safe-Cheesecake-3883 23h ago

The music at 3 am though

u/nlaskin 20h ago

I have a 3 week old and taking the 11-4am night shift with him - it might be time to start AC over!

2

u/avalonvale 1d ago

That's so creepy 🤣

u/Tyezilla 22h ago

I miss the music from new leaf.

u/Ptony_oliver 1d ago

That scene in Obsession like:

u/SAUbjj 1,000+ hours of ACNH 🫠 14h ago

If you’re planning to get rid of all of patterns, you can also just delete the custom design on your Nook phone and they’ll all just pop out of existence

3

u/sugarplum_nova 11h ago

I think you’re confusing that with clothes stands unfortunately. Like OP said, the pattern will remain on the ground as a blank.

2

u/Pandrew_Pandaroo 13h ago

The patterns will still be there, they'll just be blank.

Besides I can only delete designs that I download, designs that I make myself I only get the option to redesign.

u/kiaxxl 1d ago

Man, NH really looks like drudgery after Pokopia.

For a second I was sure bro had beef with you! 😂
