REACHED TIER 100 OF THE SEASON 02 PASS

Honestly, playing this season made me hate this game. And it's not really the season itself to blame, the new levels are honestly a lot of fun, and the remixes to past levels almost universally improve them to be the best version they can be. No, what soured me on the game was two fold. One, my friend group largely completely lost interest in the game, and without friends playing, the daily grind for the season pass just feels so much more pointless. Had they kept playing, I'm sure I'd have a better attitude but, alas. The second, and bigger thing is just that... I don't know, the playerbase itself is just filled with assholes now. I'm not sure what the change is, if some popular youtube video about how to fuck over other players got widespread or something, but throughout this entire season I've had players edge-grabbing me, and it's the most frustrating prickish thing you can do in this game really. For anyone reading this unaware, what it basically amounts to is someone grabbing you for a split-second just as you're about to make a jump. The grab immediately TANKS your momentum and ALWAYS leads you to fall off and not make the landing and there is literally nothing you can do to keep it from happening. It's the most annoying frustrating bad sportsmanship thing a player could do and during this season I had it happen to me EVERY SINGLE TIME I played. There was not a single day I went where someone didn't do this bullshit to me and that combined with my already begrudgingly playing to grind the season pass... it just ruined any interest I had in playing this game anymore.

I might play it occasionally here or there if my friend group ever wants to do a few rounds, but I'm definitely done filling out any season pass or playing this any more than casually. It's just not enjoyable.

Was going to try and parcel it out, but once I started I was hooked and played right until the ending. And with that a long awkward hiatus-ridden journey comes to a close. I have a lot of mixed feelings about the game, but there was some real good stuff in here before the ending at least.

Might try to 100% it, not sure.

For my birthday I decided it was time to finish designing the final facility and partake in the special event! We designed a beautiful chic apparel shop and then busted our moves out on the beach with a special performance by DJ K.K! This DLC has been a treat and a real improvement both on Happy Home Designer and to the base game. I've had just a blast designing houses and facilities and getting closer with the Paradise Planning gang. With the special event now finished, the main story of the DLC has come to a close. There will of course still be homes to design, but for the most part, we've finished the core path.

From this point on I'm only going to update this journal when I actually do design work and not just whenever I access the DLC at all. I still want to design more homes, especially for some special characters but I definitely think this marks the end of daily check-ins and the like.

Still, what a nice pleasant surprise this DLC has been. I ended it with a big beaming smile and I'm glad for all the new features, items and characters it brought to New Horizons.

Paradise Planning Squad Forever!
