This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Respectfully, I think that's poor advice, because there is a lot to be enjoyed in ACNH completely separate from the realtime elements, as well as timeskipping not really doing that much to preclude players from enjoying and engaging with the realtime elements. It's just some specific parts of the later game economy which are totally gatekept by on logging in at a specific time, or logging in daily just to check whether there's gonna be a meteor shower that night (the chance for which is random and fairly low). And if you log in the day before a meteor shower after 6pm, well you've already missed out on the window where you can complete activities to influence the number of meteors that drop, so you won't even be able to utilise them as a resource - in this case the entire system of introducing pre-meteor shower events to hype up the player is invalidated. Better luck next shower.
I'm not saying these elements of the game design are pointless and that there's no reason they should be there, but they're the parts of the game that make the least sense to champion for me. But it sounds like we fundamentally disagree on that and that's OK. Thanks for engaging with my opinion.
