@vaporeon_ @monorail if you use manual gear changes (quite uncommon today), you want to pay attention to when the motor is running too high or too low lest you adjust gears at a suboptimal time

@vaporeon_ @monorail (etymologically, that means the same thing as speedometer, but what you're measuring the speed of is very diffurent)

@vaporeon_ @monorail it measures how many revolutions purr minute (RPM) the motor is going through, in units of thousands

apparently the term fur this kind of gague is “tachometer”. i may have known that years ago

@Breakfast that sounds potentially delicious, what's in it ​

@kit *josh voice* it’s CUBICAL!!

@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

@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

openly!

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

@monorail @coriander @holly regardless, animal crossing GCN was so fucking good

i still can’t get over how good this mashup is

@Breakfast @vaporeon_ oh? ​
