@BabyYoshi12 Now, if I was a young person, I'd probably be #insulted because of my name being mentioned/used in such a way, but luckily, I'm old and wise, so I just shrug it off...

On a side note: you could also have asked that question without having unnecessarily tagged both me and WoomyNNYes, simply by using terms like "user A" or "one user and another" or something like that. Saves us from clicking on a notification and finding out that it's actually not even worth the click...

As for Anti's cheating: he cheats on several games. Another example is 1-2 Switch, where he plays 2 player games against himself, and he still feels like he's achieved an actual result when he "wins" or breaks a record, when obviously neither of them count in the real world, but he's very narrow-minded/single-minded in that respect, so as mentioned by Eel to that other user, you wouldn't be able to make him see the light, no matter how hard you try.

And besides that, he has a hard time understanding some concepts or decidedly English sayings, also due to his lacking language skills, so the concept of agree to disagree will also fly right over his head. Best to just leave it be, the next time anything like this comes up.

@ThanosReXXX I’ve given up on the whole User A and User B thing. I’ve tried explaining things that happen in TV shows to my friends using Person A and B and it just gets confusing.... oh yes, I forgot he English was a secondary language.

Don’t be insulted! It’s technically a compliment because you’re the first user that pops into my mind.

Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.

ThanosReXXX

@Eel Exactly...

@BabyYoshi12 I don't understand what's confusing about it at all. I think it says more about the intelligence of the people you're trying to explain it to. Either that, or your own communication skills...

To illustrate my point, here's two versions of the comment you made, redacted/improved by me:

I have a question about ignoring users. If let’s say I ignored a certain user and then he/she mentioned me in a comment, would that comment appear? If someone who I don’t ignore then mentions that user, would it appear?

Or:

I have a question about ignoring users. If let’s say I ignored one user and then he mentioned me in a comment, would that comment appear? If another user then mentions that user I ignored, would it appear?

See? It's-a simple...

@ThanosReXXX Well, I generally have good communication skills but when you’re explaining long complicated situations, it’s hard. This wasn’t hard, but because of hard ones, I just gave up on it. Well, next time I’ll do that but it’s too late now, because I think Woomy will get notified anyway....

Also, the first person who comes to mind to ignore is someone else, but I won’t say because it’s rude. 😉

Question- on the contact page, you can contact NL if you have an idea for a game. Is this just to share ideas with NL or what?

@BabyYoshi12 Well, that basically kinda is what I was trying to emphasize: not using names, in general, as a way to not step on anyone's toes, regardless of whether or not they'd actually be bothered by it. Personally,
I didn't mind all that much, but I still found it a bit... typical and/or odd, so that's why I commented on it.

As for explaining difficult or extended story lines in TV series/shows: that's of course another story entirely, so that doesn't really apply here.

P.S.

The communication skills comment was a joke, hence the blinking smiley...

Wow I was finally able to find a Switch Lite today at Walmart. It was the last one too so I got it for my brother from his birthday next month as he's been asking for one. Of course In had to tell him that he may not get one till after his birthday due to the supply chain, which he understood. He will be quite surprised on his birthday though now.

@Tasuki That's quite a gift for a birthday, there. I'd never spend that much on one gift for one person. The closest I'd come to spending hundreds of dollars/euros/pounds, is around Christmas, and that's only because I'll then buy a whole bunch of gifts, for a whole bunch of people.

@Tasuki Wow, that was really good luck! I’ve been trying to get new joycons because of drift but I can’t find any!

@BabyYoshi12 I will, I will never forgive @Eel for once having a longer name! I will take this grudge to my grave and then pester them in the afterlife about it! Because internet logic!

@ThanosReXXX That's good advice and the rational thinking part of my mind understands that full well. The problem is, I'm not an exclusively rational person and it's hard to ignore my fears. Thinking "I shouldn't think about those things" doesn't help. XD

@ThanosReXXX Well, if anything, this conversation just proves that it’s hard to communicate using text.

@Tasuki "sorry about the joycon drift"

So, @eel , if i were to ignore a user... Some insufferably obnoxious jerkbag whom just can't stand seeing day in and day out... Well just call them "T Rex" so as to not be rude...... Hypothetically speaking, how fully would they be purged from my world?

I got Walt (Cranky Grey Kangaroo) as my 7th villager on ACNH.
Walt wasn't really my priority as i might pick him if i have 3rd island but i have no choice but picked him as i ran out of Tickets.
As i played ACNH, i have to use different strategies as the game cannot be outsmarted like ACNL. If i ran out of Tickets, i will use my plan B (Accept any them until 10 villagers then kick 1 villager, try to get acceptable villager as 10th then kick again another one, repeat and rinse)

Later, i will kick Walt to get Rooney as he is a Kangaroo and Rooney is a Kangaroo too.

@Anti-Matter "I played ACNL / ACNH for Villagers Hunting"

This quote won the internet. That's signature worthy.

@NEStalgia
So, after i managed to get 10 villagers, the real hunting is begin.
I will oftenly do Time Travel just only want to kick out the unwanted villagers, get another villagers regardless i want or not, keep the villagers stay 9 as if i get the villagers from campsite, they will not randomly kick out my villagers if i just only have 9 villagers.

I have to keep kick some butts until i get All Top 10 villagers for my 1st island, later i will build my kingdom with All Top 10 villagers by terraforming.

Oh, yeah.
I will put that quote for my signature. 😅
