Random: Not All Animal Crossing Players Are Having Happy Wedding Seasons

This is messed up... I love it!

I've done 2 days so far, wedding and reception, and I've just played along. I take games way too seriously.

I did play DJ at their reception, that's as crazy as it got.

FYI - In NY wedding receptions are typically night time events w/ screaming DJs, props, and way too loud music.

This is amazing.

Why are comments disabled for the Nintendo press release article?! Hahahah.
That is hilarious.

Haha!!! I love these!!!

Amazing Nintendo, wedding season is genius.

@graysoncharles but that’s the irony of it all. You can’t even post an article in a video game site for fear of what people will say?! Crazy. And eliminating free speech on it also seems odd.... but I get it, people are morons. Just thought I’d point it out.

Totally awesome~!! I have visited them twice so far and I already have enough...

The whole game feels like 20% gameplay 80% wasting your time doing dumb/meaningless/boring stuff...

Really... This game is great and awful at the same time...

It's nice to see people juicing it out creatively though.

It feels like an interactive doll house toy more than a game...

I admit, I wanted to see how many points I'd get from mashing the A button to fill the room with the wedding furniture.

Max points, of course.

@TimboSlice

I don’t blame NL’s admins, I blame this site’s piss-poor community. Seriously, Nintendo Life used to be frequented by a lot of cool people, but the trolls and “gamers” (a title I’m beginning to be embarrassed to be given, as the older I get the more I begin to realize just how tightly associated with racism, incel culture, and overall nastiness it has become) seem to have come out in full force the last couple of years. I’d say the site still has a lot of decent, level-headed users, but I’m really getting worn out. Best to not read comments at all at this point.

@Phostachio I don't know, to me, I'd rather be aware of who the idiots are.

I have yet to participate in this wedding event. I'm still on the hunt for all the sharks...

@TimboSlice probably because of what a racist horror show the comments on the last one turned out to be. There's only so much a moderater can moderate; it was basically 4chan level bad

REALLY HOPING TO SEE THE BEST MAN DOIN THE BRIDE

@raygboyd333 is the best man Eugene?

@graysoncharles And that's the sad part. It shouldn't be extremely sensitive. I mean, how far have some of us fallen where the call for basic, human rights might result in someone or someones going off the rails in a comment section.

And that scorpion picture is hilarious, lol

@Franz might wanna get on that, the event unlocks new items for purchase every time you do it (and you only can do it once a day) so if you take too long, you’ll be locked out of getting stuff. It only takes a few minutes to do every day, too.

@Phostachio yeah, I definitely noticed a shift in the community in recent years. It’s a shame, I used to happily enjoy conversations on here but now practically every posts risks a flame war starting over the tiniest things. I don’t blame them for disabling comments on more sensitive topics, though I wish they managed to control the comment sections better...

@ReaperExTenebris
It's just only a game.
It looks fancy to pretend to get married like having editorial photoshoot for bridal magazine.

@graysoncharles If its sensitive put on bigboi pants, deal with it and things that need to be addressed need to be addressed.

@Kaori-chan Also to minorities (LGBTQ, Jews, Christians?) in Arab league countries or just the thing that is hip right now?...Ah well

@SSJW haha spot on.

Crystallizing Public Opinion. For those who dont read "visual novels". Ill leave it at that.

@Kaori-chan Mad respect too EA then.

@graysoncharles I agree in the general sense that, yes, it's still absurd and sad that this is something we are dealing with.

Focusing on NL or online communities like this, it's sad that we can't be adults and have these kinds of discussions without it devolving into a Jerry Springer episode.

But I guess I understand NLs position. They know their audience (or at least a portion of it) and know many of them could give a s*** about this and don't mind making it known. I guess which is the part that really saddens me. Seeing someone get treated the way George Floyd was treated (simply for being black) and ultimately murdered on camera in such a caviler manner should anger everyone

@Kaori-chan these donations aren’t going to do anything. Do you know that most charities take upwards of 50 cents on every dollar, many way more than that, before it gets to those actually in need? It’s crazy. That’s why I always donate my time when doing charity... or for example give pet food to animal shelters so you know it can’t be misappropriated.

@mesome713 every single company on my IG is posting this stuff.

@TimboSlice O was talking the blm stuff.

These are a bit funny but also... How could you!?

Bless them...

I want Plushes T_T

Okay, these are hilarious. I laughed loudly at the divorce one. Thanks for compiling these.

I honestly completely forgot about this. Isabelle mentioned it and I just kinda said "meh" and forgot about it.

Just not that interesting.

I tried the photoshoot last night and found I actually enjoyed it. I wasn't really a fan of Harvey's island because it just seemed pointless but having a goal involved with the opportunity to get more furniture made it feel fun. Plus sounds like you can mess around and make funny photos and still get rewarded. I hope there are more photoshoot events in the future.

Cyrus always reminds me of Werewolf Jones, which creeps me out in the context of Animal Crossing. Though I'm not sure he deserves this. :S

@ReaperExTenebris Marriage is a binding covenant in Catholicism, and is only recognized as valid if it is sacramental.

@ReaperExTenebris In your opinion, and that’s all well and good for you. That does not invalidate the claim of others that it is more than that.

@ReaperExTenebris Marriages outside of the Church are not sacramental. Even in the case of a sacramental marriage, the sacredness of a thing does not take away one’s free will to choose good or evil.

@ReaperExTenebris To answer that, we first have to define what sacred means. To be “sacred/holy” means to be “set apart”. In this sense, marriage in Judaism and Catholicism (Judaism II: Electric Bugaloo) is not meant to be seen or treated like a secular contract. It is, as implied, set apart to represent the beatific vision.

For a simple secular marriage, anything goes, but that’s because it does not intend to fulfill or aspire towards the beatific vision. I would recommend looking up Bishop Robert Barron on YouTube, as he explains the Catholic stance a lot better than I do. I am joyful to have a dialogue with you, and I do concede that a secular marriage hardly has meaning or necessity, but I would say that’s the problem with secular marriage in the first place. The secular world rarely asks sacrifice of anyone, and true marriage is a major sacrifice.

@ReaperExTenebris The sacrifice would be some of your own liberty for love of another. A sacramental marriage cannot be dissolved (because of its nature in emulating the beatific vision), this requires the couple to stay together and actively seek each other. To infringe on that union is a grave act against the spouse, the self, and upon natural law (this is a philosophical term, and not the same as what one would think it to mean).

The beatific vision is ingrained into marriage, as there is the lover, beloved, and shared love. This, in a way, represents the Trinity. Maintaining and fully committing to the marriage also showcases almost every teaching against human selfishness and evil in the beatitudes.

@ReaperExTenebris In cases of abuse, the Church would either request separation or might even give an annulment (saying the marriage was not valid to begin with because one or both did not truly have the intention of upholding the values important to marriage). The abuser would be seen as someone infringing on the dignity of the human person, and thus guilty of a grave sin. The victim should be able to reach or to their parish and request support of some kind.

@ReaperExTenebris That would be a no, because a lot of our philosophy has elements from Aristotle (Natural Law and what-not). Since the purpose of sex is procreation and unity, cutting either of those out of the equation destroys the purpose of the act. Since things are wholly good in their intended state, an action that totally compromises the essence of what a thing or action is compromises the morality of that action.

That said, we also hold celibacy higher than marriage, and we affirm that nothing is wrong with same-sex attraction in and of itself. It is only the sexual acts, which would go against Natural Law philosophy. Those with same-sex attraction would be called to a celibate life just like our Priests, Bishops and religious orders within the Church.

@ReaperExTenebris Infertility is not the act of purposefully stopping conception, and thus is not the same. There is even hope that God could heal such bodily defects.

There is just as much evidence in support of self-discipline and abstaining as there is for your perspective. I think chastity even in marriage does more good than you think it does. Closeness in marriage comes first and foremost from love. Sex is not necessary for that, but rather acts to unite it.

Requiring someone to be celibate is not morally wrong, otherwise it would be a moral travesty that some grow old without every marrying. That said, no one is stopping them from marrying the opposite sex, but that would be less than ideal for them, no? The very fact that we have relationships as the ultimate end goal of life is a problem. It is a lesser love than unconditional love for neighbor and to will their good according towards what natural law says is good.

That is a misrepresentation of the real problem. If celibacy was the cause of scandal, then the Church would not have the same amount of abuse rates as schools and secular institutions. Married men make up the larger number of perpetrators in child abuse cases. This is not a celibacy problem, or even a priest problem. It is a human problem, and an institutional problem.

@ReaperExTenebris It doesn’t take away their free will. They can still choose to do what is wrong, but that does not change that the action is against moral law. You can steal a cookie from your parent’s cookie jar with your own will, but that does not mean consequences will not follow.

No one is forcing people to do anything. The Church asks people to willfully choose good, but if one does not then that’s their choice. The truth is that when you choose the bad over the good, you effectively reject the good. It’s reasonable then to say that though we have free will, we should be guided and pointed towards the good at all times. To love is to will the good of the other.

It’s like you said, free will. All will have to give an account for their actions, and we cannot say that God does not consistently try to dissuade people from choosing sin at every moment of their lives. What we do know is that God himself said that it would be better for abusers to be thrown into the ocean with a millstone around their neck, than for them to commit such awful actions. Actions done against others are physical actions that also hurt God himself. The truth is he wants to give even the worst people a chance to change, as he knows the good that they are capable of. No one is wholly evil, even if they commit themselves to terrible deeds.
