i miss when animal crossing was ever so occasionally just a little bit hostile. villagers could and would steal your shit right out of your pockets
@aescling It would have been wild to say at the time, because it was frustrating as fuck when it happened, but with hindsight yeah that was at least something interesting that oculd happen
@coriander i definitely remember either playing through or witnessing (or both!) me or one of my siblings losing an item they really wanted from a villager dialogue lol
@aescling Yeah! You had to be super careful if you had something valuable lmao
@coriander i mean, i fully hold that player frustration is a valid emotional response to want to elicit in a game, but in a series like animal crossing it should purrobably be quite deemphasized
openly!
