Re: Datamine Reveals Just How Sly Redd Actually Is In The New Animal Crossing

Interesting snippet of information I didn't know it was possible for him to arrive with no genuine pieces.
We have been lucky so far, the few times Redd has arrived at one of our islands there has always been one genuine piece of art, it didn't surprise me to have a visit where there were two genuine pieces this happened many times when we played ACNL.
It did surprise me yesterday when he arrived at my island and had three genuine pieces, (No we don't T.T.) so it looks like not having any genuine art just balances the game a bit.
We haven't seen any af the haunted painting yet which is funny because the kids are more interested in finding those than actually finishing the collection at the museum.

Re: UK News Outlet Calls Animal Crossing's Nature Day "A Farce", Says It "Teaches Kids Toxic Lessons"

Here we go again with the old games equal toxic lessons for kids argument, which is a very one sided view, and the same argument can be used for any game, if all you want to do is see just the negative side.

Not everyone wants to use a game mechanic just because its there, and although we could easily show the kids they can raze an island and get a stack of tarantulas we have chosen not to. We would much rather they find things out for themselves and decide if that's the root they really want to take. Personally its of no interest to me buy I know my daughter likes to do a bit of tarantula farming when the grand-kids are in bed.

At the moment the three grand-kids aged 7, 9 and 12 are enjoying a lot of co-operative play, for example after learning that none native fruit sell for more to maximize the amount of bells they could make they needed to work together. Along with sharing fruit with each other to grow on their islands, they have a daily native fruit swap so that they all maximize the amount of bells they can make.

They have also learned to manage island resources, balancing the need to make bells from gathered resources against the need to make tools and other items, so more trees are planted than they ever cut down and the islands are covered in flowers because they quickly learned that more flowers results in more bugs.

Obviously we are all they are playing it wrong lol.
