 New day, new post! Animal Crossing New Horizons doesn't have very many ways to customize your player character. Even when you buy the extra options with Nook Miles, there still aren't very many. There are barely any unnatural skin tones, there aren't many hairstyles or eye shapes, and the longer you play the more annoying it is. There are wigs, which look nice. But you can't wear hats with them. I feel like it may have been better to include the wigs as more hairstyles instead so they can still be worn normally. It's also lacking a lot of options that are included in other games. There aren't even space buns, which ended up causing a huge controversy in the fandom; since people who wanted space buns were using the afro puffs hairstyle for it, which made other fans upset about it. There isn't even a space buns wig even though it's one of the most popular hairstyles. It's missing so many things, and I hope this is fixed sometime in the future; especially with more people coming back to the game. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For those of you who don't know, there are bugs you can't catch in Animal Crossing New Horizons. They're cockroaches, and they appear in your house after a week of inactivity. The only way to get rid of them is to squish them, which is done automatically when your player character walks too close to them. When you squish them, it'll make a sound, and a little bug ghost will float away. They show up everywhere, and they can even hide under furniture. This is honestly an annoying feature. If you want the bedhead hairstyle, you have to go without playing for a month. But the bugs show up after a week. So you'll get the hairstyle, at the cost of chasing around and murdering very tiny and hard to see bugs. This game is missing a lot of things, so it feels like a punishment to have this. Some fans think it's funny, but I'm not looking forward to running around and cleaning up my spare house that I use as an activity center. I suppose it's an interesting easter egg, but it'll get old fast when I have to move perfectly placed furniture just to catch all of the bugs. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why are there so many girls in anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There are a lot of girls in anime, manga, and videogames. Not only this, but most of them are usually dressed in tight or short clothes. This makes it uncomfortable for most girl fans, but that's because anime like this is usually made for men. However, anime made for women are almost never like this. Men are expected to be drawn in by the barely dressed women, but women are supposed to be drawn in by the story or romance instead. I'm not sure why this is, or if it's just a sexist trope that never really died. Since there are a lot more women anime fans, hopefully this will die soon. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why is Homestuck popular in the anime fandom? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Homestuck isn't an anime, and it doesn't really use the anime art style. Sometimes there are pictures in it that somewhat resemble anime, but it still isn't anime. But since it was popular in the scene community, it eventually snuck its way into the anime community like Invader Zim and My Little Pony did. It's a weird part of internet history, and newer fans don't know anything about it. Even I didn't learn about it until after it happened. Now that Homestuck is starting to gain popularity again, maybe more people will learn about this. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! In Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can get a lot of rugs that look like they belong outside. However, you can't put them outside. This is a really awful decision because there isn't enough space inside of the houses to use them either. Yes, you can make the inside of houses look like outside, but this shouldn't be necessary. Making rugs only usable inside means the picnic blankets and outdoor rugs exist for no reason. Not only this, but it forces players to use custom designs to make outdoor rugs instead, even though there aren't very many custom design spaces available. It isn't fair, and a lot of Animal Crossing New Horizons players hate this. It wouldn't even be difficult to make it so rugs can be placed outside. I don't understand why this was done, since every other game that lets you customize places usually lets you put rugs outside. All it does is limit creativity in a game that's supposed to be about creative freedom. I hope this is fixed sometime in the future, but I doubt it ever will be. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why do the fish models look worse than the bug models in Animal Crossing New Horizons? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, you can get models made for bugs or fish in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The bug models are amazing. They're very detailed, and some of them are really big. But the fish models, are small and disappointing. Why is this? Well, in the game, all of the models are made by Flick. Flick loves bugs, but doesn't really care about fish. So this makes sense. It's a neat detail in the game. But, it's really unfair for fans. Some fans really like the fish in the game, so the small little disappointing models are a huge let down. Even the big fish get small models. While I understand why this is from a story standpoint, I don't understand why the creators did this. Even if an artist doesn't like something, they usually put their all into a commission. So making the fish models look like that just because Flick made them, it doesn't really make sense to me. Flick really likes what he does, and he takes commissions very seriously. So as a character, I don't understand why he would make the fish models look like trash just because they're fish. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's scorpion season in Animal Crossing New Horizons again! So for today's blog post, I will be talking about how to successfully catch them. Scorpions and tarantulas can seem impossible to catch at first, but after you learn how to, they're actually pretty easy to catch. Firstly, you have to hold a net if you want to get close to them. Otherwise they'll run away from you. A lot of people say you have to sneak up on it, but you don't. You can walk normally while holding the net and the scorpion won't attack you. The only thing you have to watch is the claws. If they're raised, stop walking. If they're lowered, it's safe to move. It's like a game of red light green light. A few important notes are, you can herd it into a more open area without a net for easier catching. But if you chase it around too much, it'll disappear. If it's trapped between rocks or trees, don't try to catch it. Your net will hit the objects around it, and then the scorpion will sting you. You can also accidentally chase it into water, which will make it disappear. So I recommend trying to catch it in an open and easy to see area. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
