And, because I'm a masochist, I'll let you guys in on the food-based opinion that gets me trashed the most.

I hate chocolate cake and chocolate ice-cream.

You didn't mention if you tasted any cinnamon since, to create apple cider, people usually use cinnamon sticks and leave the apple juice to simmer for a few hours before it's served. If they didn't have the apple juice simmer with cinnamon sticks, it might still taste like warmed apple juice.
All I could taste was vomit.

It's also possible that it was just shitty cider, but getting puke taste from apple juice is something else that may be unique to me. Normally it isn't that bad, but it being warm just made it unbearable.

Like I said above, unusually, I don't get any pukey taste from a tri-apple blend apple juice. Just the normal stuff.
So does this also mean I won't get any pukey taste from a tri-apple blend cider? Possibly

Everyone has vomited before. We've all felt, tasted, and smelled that burning acidic torment.

While there are of course differences in taste I don't think your comment can be accounted with that.
Bro, if I tasted vomit, I tasted vomit. It may not be that way for you but I KNOW what I tasted.

It's like saying to someone "maybe you're not remembering correctly" just because something doesn't make sense to you. Like doubting another person's ability to remember something vividly that took place in their reality, especially something unpleasant that you wouldn't forget.

I think you mouth is broken...

Granted, I know I am a bit odd because sugar tends to have a waxy taste for me (one of the reasons I can't stand sugar), but hot apple cider smells or tastes nowhere near vomit.
It's more likely I just don't like cider.

And it's also possible that the cider I had was just a really shitty brand. But I agree that it's tasting like vomit might be unique to me and a few others. That's just because things taste different to different people. You think my mouth is broken but I could just as well think your mouth is broken.

Shit's just different -- and it really is jarring, on both sides.

Are you sure you actually drank cider? It sounds like someone who doesn't like you just gave you a mug of vomit and told you it was cider.
It was cider.
I know that because the wasps couldn't get enough of it. They practically swarmed to dispenser to try and drink from it. And other people were drinking it. But to me it was just pure vomit.

Things can taste different from person to person and it's hard to understand how they don't taste what you do even when you're having the same thing.

While I'm at it, here's another thing.

You ever tilt your head back to pop some pills into your mouth, but the pills land wrong, or you couldn't swallow them all the way? And all the sudden you're overcome by the most intense bitterness ever. That chalky pill bitterness can't even be washed away with water.

I get the same bitterness from poppy-seeds, but also from, get this -- red and pink food coloring. To the point where I have to scrape some of the poppy-seeds off of my everything bagel and I absolutely can NOT tolerate red or pink frosting, and sometimes even pink candies (mainly PEZ).

Is the food coloring thing just me??
I've wondered for a while if anyone else got it too...

I experienced what I did and nobody can tell me I didn't.

People who like it must not be able to smell or taste the puke that I did, but I can't understand why.
It's weird how something can genuinely taste different to one person than it does for another.

I'm not sure that I can make you understand how serious I'm being when I say it smelled and tasted exactly like vomit. I'm not exaggerating.

If you had me smell it blindfolded I would have thought somebody just puked in their hands in put it under my nose.

To be honest, even pure apple-juice tastes just a little bit like vomit to me (only a little), unless it's tri-apple blend. I don't know what it is. I love apples, but apple juice is a little pukey aside from the one kind, and apple cider is literally just the smell and taste of vom.

Just butter raw on a sandwhich? That's nasty...

Btw, I did this thing for a while where I would put three slices of balogna on a skillet with butter and fry them up, then set them aside and cook an egg in the balogna juice that's leftover on the pan. Next, get two slices of bread and add mayo to one side (browns better than butter and has a better flavor), put them mayo side down to brown, then assemble the sandwhich complete with some cheese. Keep it in the pan for a little bit so it all heats up and the cheese melts. Then BAM -- breakfast sandwhich.

I stopped making it because the balogna was too salty for me. Plus, I hate breakfast and eating that much in the morning was gross.

Not really. It's not like the personality types are super deep.
You really think the devs would individually program a personality AI for over 400 characters? Each with their own unique mannerisms and set of 50+ unique dialogue options?

That's not far-fetched?

Yep. Im the same way about pokemon games. I get in there, catch some pokemon I like, and do my thing.

The meta is dumb
Competitive gameplay certainly ruins the fun.
But coming up with movesets and strategies just for a normal play-through is part of what makes it fun to own Pokemon. I also like to breed for rare moves and Pokeballs because it makes them feel more special. And shiny-hunting is an art!

It's hard not to notice. The first game let you have 15 villagers at a time and only had 6 personality types to pull from. You're inevitably going to get a few repeats. Similarly, the most recent one has 10 islander slots and 8 personalities. Each personality's dialogue still has plenty of variation, so you aren't seeing the same lines all the time from every character with the same personality, but if you're playing frequently at all, you'll see some repetition (to say nothing of how behaviourally similar characters with the same personality are, which is about what you'd expect).

Certainly, I'm not one for the "I want to carefully manipulate my island to have one of each personality" sort of approach, since that sort of gamification makes it feel like a much less organic experience than Animal Crossing ought to be (in my opinion), but it's hard to ignore that there's a finite number of personality archetypes that dictate villagers' dialogue.

Beautiful. It IS hard NOT to notice.

I mean, come on. How can you not notice that all Lazy villagers have the exact same laugh?
You're telling me you never ran into repeat dialogue between two separate villagers?

I don't have the new Animal Crossing and thought all the animals were individually unique
It's been this way for all of the Animal Crossing games, from the very beginning -- not just the new one.

There are 8 (previously 6, I believe) personality types that are programmed as a different AI. A villager will have one of these 8 personalities -- it dictates their dialogue, when they are active, and their relationship with other villagers.

There are over 400 villagers, the idea that each and every one of them is unique is pretty far-fetched.

I seriously thought this was common knowledge.
Not that it's wrong to be unaware, but I'm just surprised. This is literally the only forum I've ever been on where people didn't already know about it. It's like Animal Crossing 101

I can't decide between Cranky or Lazy.
Well, the Cranky ones are meant to be kind of older men who are serious and a bit confused by the actions of younger people. They're portrayed as cantankerous mature guys, but with a good heart once you get past their exterior. They strongly value those who are close to them.

The Lazy ones are, of course, lazy and love food -- but they are also a bit dumb, although more so in the sense of innocence and naivite. They also a pretty one track mind. Although, they are exceedingly friendly, and also quite easy to please.

Does that help?

Oh, they absolutely could fix it. The system has an SD card slot and several USB ports. There's no reason they couldn't push out a firmware update that would allow us to save a backup file on that SD card or an attached external hard drive, which could be copied to any computer storage as desired. They choose not to for the sake of making NSO's cloud saves more appealing. That is something worth criticizing them for.

You're right. And that shit really pisses me off.

But the bitch of it is that we keep buying into it all. We won't stop buying consoles and games even if they have these problems because we love gaming and are willing to put up with the bad parts of it so long as we can squeeze even the slightest bit of joy from the experience.
Companies like Nintendo know this, so they take away just enough from our experience to where we're still moderately happy and will keep coming back for more like friggen monkeys while they rack in the dough. Because the fact is that the chances of our frustrations actually impacting them are smaller than an insect's dick -- especially when we give them millions of dollars in profit even for things that disappoint us.

I really truly don't understand how that's no big deal. Please answer me why it's okay.

It should be -- A:
>I get a game.
>I play it for a year.
>My console breaks.
>I get a new one.
>I just put my cartridge/disc in and I can continue playing.

Or -- B:
>I get a game.
>I play it for a year.
>My console breaks.
>I get a new one.
>I put the SD card or other hardrive from the old system into my new one so that I have all my data and can continue playing.

Is it really REALLY that bad to be irritated by the fact that 100% of my hours of progress is lost forever by unforeseeable damage to my consoles, such as a software malfunction or an accident, or if my consoles are stolen?

And just saying "Well, the Switch isn't the first to function that way" doesn't mean that it still isn't a problem. In fact, I could argue that it's especially a problem in a portable console as those tend to be more fragile.

And-
>I get a game.
>I play it for a year.
>My console breaks.
>I get a new one.
>I backup my data saved onto Cloud to my new system so that I can continue playing.
-Isn't actually bad! In fact, I'm very grateful for it! The problem is that not all Switch games are compatible with Cloud services, meaning that for certain games you're just shit 'outta luck if your console breaks.
I don't see why they couldn't have just made it function like my examples A and B above. It'd have been easier and more reliable, at least in my opinion.

I'm not asking you to agree. But do you at least see my point?

Mostly, you're misunderstanding the nature of the problem and insisting on a solution that isn't actually practical. Game saves haven't been saved on the physical game itself for nearly a decade, or two if we're looking at consoles. Even with cartridges, modern data transfer needs mean that bidirectional data transfer isn't really viable. The system is pulling data from the cartridge at such a rate that putting data back onto it isn't an option. Given how cheap internal storage is now, it's much more feasible to store save data on that internal storage.

The solution is not to save data on the cartridges themselves, but to allow that internal storage to be backed up. That's where Nintendo is falling short. Other systems offer options for backing up their drives yourself. The only option the Switch has, though, is the cloud save service they've locked behind a paywall. It's a very cheap paywall ($20/year is basically nothing, or even less if you split a plan with other people), but there should still be a free backup option.
Maybe I don't know 100% how it works. All I need to know is that I can play my file of ACNL or Pokemon Diamond on any DS system so long as I have the cartridge. But if my Switch dies then I can no longer ever have my game files even if I have the cartridges. I don't understand why they decided that was okay. It just seems like a huge problem to me.
They even recognized this was an issue and tried to patch it by offering Cloud saves -- but not all Switch games support that feature.

It's an issue I only ever see in new consoles that have the option to purchase a game digitally and play it without ever having to own a physical copy. And I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm just saying I'd also like to have the option to have access to my save files on a cartridge if I buy it, like I could with the games listed above, so that I can still play my game even if the console dies.

I probably just got angry and failed to get my point across in the right way. In fact, I'm positive this is my fault because this is literally the only time I've ever stated this opinion and gotten backlash to this degree. For that, I apologize, but I hope it doesn't stop you from seeing my point.

Anyway, I don't think it is something they can fix -- it's just how they programmed the console. I just hope they take it into consideration when they make their next console.

It's unfair because you're only criticizing one console when all three act similarly.
And when did I say I was okay with other consoles doing it?

Hell, I even made a remark about how the Playstations are annoying by doing the same thing. Any console that fails at having a reliable save-system is flawed in my book. It isn't just the Switch, the Switch is just the only one I talked about here because I see this issue as more of a problem in a portable console. And we're all pretty much only talking about the Switch here anyway.

So what exactly is unfair about being upset how save-files are more easily jeopardized on certain consoles?

I just don't want to lose all of my save data in every Switch game I own because my console breaks or is stolen.

I've had ACNL for years. Playing in the game was the only thing that calmed me down during a time where my panic disorder was so bad I didn't eat, sleep, or leave the house. Since then, I've gone through a couple of DS systems. They broke due to manufacturing issues. But I was still able to play my file in ACNL because I had the cartridge -- and I still play it to this day when I am unwell.
Now, if it was the Switch, my entire town would have been lost forever because the console broke due to things I couldn't control. How is that not a problem that affects the console's reputation? It was a stupid idea of theirs...

Literally all I want is to have my save files even if my console becomes unusable. Is that really too much to ask?

If it wasn't for that, then my opinion of the console would be fine. And paying for online access and DLC's in and of itself isn't a big deal -- it's just when you add that to the fact that I can't have secure save-files without paying for cloud instead of just having the memory on the cartridge like normal, that I find it irritating. And not all Switch games even have access to cloud saves...

I would forgive everything if it just had a better saving system. But it doesn't and that irritates me. It makes me worry for my files. Doesn't mean I'm going to let it ruin everything for me -- I still have a Switch and enjoy playing on it. But I reserve the right to be upset about what I perceive as a pretty substantial flaw.

How is that an unfair opinion?

The Switch in general is garbage.

Never-mind being able to save your game on your cartridge (like a normal system), the files now save on the console itself. Which means if anything happens to it -- all of your progress is just fucking gone forever. This is what really pisses me off about all these new consoles that are trying to be "modern" with downloadable content, but they do so while sacrificing integrity.
And that's what is really unforgivable to me about the Switch.

It pains me to think that someday, all games will only be available through digital download and we can kiss our cartridges (and likely our save data) goodbye.

On the bright side, at least you can backup your save data in cloud... For money. You can also still connect to players through internet like how the DSI/3DS/2DS did...but you have to pay for an online membership. But even playing alone, you still have after-games to enjoy...if you pay for them in DLC.

It really hurts that if I want to play the newest games, I have to buy into this shit -- but I would be willing to forgive literally ALL of it, even if I have to spend well over 100$, if I could just save my data on the cartridge and never have to risk losing it to a console malfunction, or damage, or loss, or theft, etc.

Even if it probably won't actually do good, I wish there was a poll bringing up these points that I could sign and we could show Nintendo what we think. In a perfect world they'd at least consider what we say, but I think we all know they wouldn't. At least it'd make us feel better.
But for now, it just looks like things are going downhill... It started with the Playstation and now it's hit portable consoles. I fear for the future.
