Hmm, if you think it's worth putting as a thread in the Switch forum, @WoomyNNYes .... Maybe post a quick summary of the main reasons, too?

Who is playing ACNH ?
I want to ask about Villager's Moving Out behavior and mechanism in game.
I want to figure it out how to make my villagers stay forever after i took long hiatus.
I want to buy ACNH probably after July 2020, but before i play ACNH i must know how to preserve my villagers.
(Put them in the refrigerator) 😂

@Eel Good to know that it is a decent movie. I have seen that trailer pop up on my TV every now and then some time ago, and I was actually curious, but ultimately forgot all about it, so good to have this reminder. I'm gonna make a note of it.

Tried that Island Savers game yet?

@Anti-Matter Well, there IS also the Animal Crossing New Horizons thread, so there's probably a LOT of people in there who might be able to tell you:

Ah yes, I did play it for a good while yesterday, it’s a nice concept, certainly great for a completely free game.

Platforming is beyond annoying, and the limited inventory space combined with the need to track down machines to deposit or obtain certain kinds of items added a lot of back tracking on the second half of the first island.

Graphics wise it reminds me of a few cereal box pack-in pc games I played in the past, but it works all around, it’s not an ugly game.

All in all, it was like playing a simpler, quicker version of viva piñata. Which is not a bad thing.

@WoomyNNYes I could tell it was Philly by the style of the tags...I've never been there but was supposed to do a road trip there from NYC a couple of years ago. I will get there eventually.

@WiltonRoots Thanks! Haha. The tags Yeah, there is always something cool & entertaining painted at FDR, whether its cool art, cool stencils, funny art, or saying funny things in graffiti. Are you talking about that "fdr" Elmers glue bottle? https://i.postimg.cc/g0r3f1Pj/FDRgap1-auto-smart-fix.jpg That thing was cool. If you can tell me about something you see, go for it. If there are privacy, or legal reasons not to, I understand.

Can you tell me anything about the red pixel art PacMan ghost stencil? It's to the left, on a column. I've seen that around Philly. (EDIT: Anyone that wants to play Find Waldo, see if you can find the dong 🤪 I just noticed it)

I have mixed reactions to spray paint graffiti. In some cases, clearly a lot of work went into it and it should almost be considered art IMO. Then there are exhibits where it was a quick scribble of something where you wonder why someone even put in the effort (or lack thereof). You don't see too much of the fancier graffiti around here other than on the occasional bridge and on passing freight cars. Most of them are the juvenile scribbles of random initials, lines, moronic symbols, and the obligatory recreations of certain body parts.

In any case, it's still hard for me to forgive this kind of thing on private buildings and so on, even if they are abandoned.

@ThanosReXXX Thanks for linking those Kensington songs! I'm giving them a listen as I type. I'll likely look up the group on Spotify while I'm working this week as well. There are a few groups I need to check up on, actually....I haven't scouted newer songs or "discovered" new groups too recently. It's something I normally try to do every now and again.

On B&C: I'll certainly give the combo a try at some point. I normally don't keep alcohol or many mixables in the house - heck, the only beverage I normally buy is milk lol - but I've been considering keeping them around for special occasions or isolated celebrations of accomplishments. I'm tempted to get that glass too, if only for the neat-looking bat on the bottom.

On traffic: I'm better about blocking it out nowadays unless my windows are open. Even then, the amount it bothers me depends on what I'm doing. The worst is when it has also rained, like last night; I had to shut the window next to my recliner so that I could hear the dialogue in Batman: The Telltale Series as the swish of passing traffic was drowning out the noise. I really had the volume up, too.

I have at least some idea of how your normal noise level functions. I've spent a night in a hotel in downtown Chicago before. The place was a nice yet old hotel, and the walls definitely didn't block out a ton of noise IMO. Not only were we almost right next to Michigan Avenue (a very, very busy traffic drag), but I'm pretty sure there was also a hospital or a fire department nearby. You could also hear trams on a nearby branch of the "L" (short for "elevated") sometimes. I managed to get some sleep, but to be surrounded by that noise all the time....Well, I'd adjust, but it definitely would be a change lol.

@WoomyNNYes I was referring to the tall skinny black tags, they call them wickeds in Philly. I have a couple of crew members in Philadelphia who do graffiti who are affiliates with people I know in Brooklyn. I don't know anything about the other stencils to be honest.

@Tyranexx I know what you're saying, for every decent bit of work that gets done there's tons of garbage graffiti that gets done sadly....

@WoomyNNYes I'm based in London so that's why I'm not too familiar with who does what in Philly, but I recognise the style a mile away.

@WiltonRoots Yep. If one is gonna create some graffiti - heck, I've even heard of individuals and companies paying talented people to do it to their own property - at least put in some effort. XD There's an old metal bridge near where I grew up that spans a small river that's just full of the effortless stuff. It looks like someone threw up on it.

@WoomyNNYes "Anyone that wants to play Find Waldo... "

Well, unless one is absolutely blind or myopic, that wasn't really all that hard to spot: I instantly noticed "Waldo" looking/lurking/swinging around the corner on the front most column near your head...

@Tyranexx You're welcome. I figured I'd save you the trouble of having to wade through unfamiliar songs, and just give you my own "Best of Kensington" playlist. And if you REALLY want to know how good they are, be sure to look up any of those songs with the added sentence "Live from (or at) Ziggo Dome", which is one of the biggest concert halls near the city here, and in which they've already done two different concert runs.

I'd also be interested to hear your verdict again on all the songs in that playlist. But no rush, so I'll see it whenever you've got the time.

Completely agreed on graffiti, by the way. In that respect, I'd say that Amsterdam is basically "Little New York", because the streets, subways and railway stations are littered with tags and full-blown art pieces. Some of them are pretty good, but most are exactly like what you described.

@Eel True, there is backtracking, but if you've followed the directions of the game as presented, then you should now have either 1 or 2 shortcuts, one of which leads to "tax island", which is a location that you'll frequently need to re-visit.
