Animal Crossing Memories

Andrew76

Not sure about anyone else but I love taking screenshots of this game, at first it was just so I could look back on my early days on the island or to get a picture of someone entering the airport or inside their house to get ideas from them. Now I'll take screenshots of anything from turnip prices to plotting out building dimensions.

So I thought it might be fun if folks posted up some pictures of anything they have come across on their Animal Crossing journey? It can be anything at all, the game is gorgeous looking imo and has an incredible level of detail in it so even the most mundane looking screenshot can be interesting.

Here are a few select ones I've taken along the way.

First night on Castaway island:



The one and only time I got a good turnip price on my island:



Treasure Hunt evening that was so much fun:



Bunny Week - thank god the eggs are gone now!



Early Hibernia - before the rain:



Hibernia now - umbrella a necessity:



Trying to steal chilling with Bluebear:



Star gazing at dusk in my favourite outfit...



Damo - always stylish:

Star Lord

Love this! And that treasure hunt was a lot of fun! Think it's what inspired Princess Peach to start playing online, other than trying to get better turnip prices!
And still delighted I managed to find that ticket, even if it was the longest of the hunts!

Star Lord

Don't know if it's possible to embed the video directly, so shared via a tweet

Her only regret is that she didn't have the laughing reaction at the time...

I was genuinely surprised and impressed you found that ticket!

Hah that clip is cool. How did you record it? Not via the normal capture button?

Yup, if you hold the button for a sec instead of just pressing it, it records the last 30 seconds or so of gameplay

Ah ok cool. Was thinking of getting one of those elgato things to record some footage, thought maybe you were using one of those.

This thread is brilliant! I didn't know it was here until now. How are you getting the photos off your switch to post them here?

The procedure I use is long winded:

- Take screenshot using the Capture button.
- Go into Album and upload to somewhere (I upload to private Facebook message so only I can see it).
- Download image on PC
- Upload image to imgur.
- Link BBCode in boards post.

Maybe you can upload to Twitter and link that directly? Like Star Lord did above with the video.

Yeah, I post them to Twitter, and for pics just hotlink the image to the Twitter image, for the video, just posted the link to the tweet to embed it.

It's a MicroSD card so you'll need one of the adaptors if you've only got an SD card slot.

Andrew76

And just make sure you don't accidentally format it! :eek:

Saturday Scavenger Hunt organised by Tbahh



Almost everything found


Time to meet the friendly locals...

tbahh

Hey! No time to be just sitting around!



Peekaboo, I see you!



What's behind that tree, I wonder?



Phew, made it!



Happy ending!

holly_johnson

Looks like that scavenger hunt was great fun and you put a lot of work into it! I’m so sorry I missed it.

holly_johnson

Hopefully it works this time!



Jesus that was torturous

Andrew76

Lol yep worked that time and nice double rainbow! A rare sunny day on Hibernia!

So what was the process for embedding Twitter pic on here? I might try that way next time as the Facebook route is laborious.

I couldn’t get twitter to work here. I ended up doing this:

Posted pic to twitter from switch
Saved picture to my library on my iPad from twitter
Created imgur account
Uploaded pic to imgur
Embedded imgur pic here

Pain in the *rse

I go through the same rigmarole apart from not having an imgur account - not needed one to upload pictures or videos!

So you just upload directly from photo library to here? I’ve done that before and it only ever displays as a link. It doesn’t embed the picture.

I open up the picture I've uploaded as an image in a new tab and enter that link and it works! Took me ages to figure it out!

holly_johnson

Dunno if this will work but it’s a video of a wrestling match earlier!

Me, sinead and ceejay jamming out



Me on keyboards, Marshall on sax and Mrs Dodge in the audience



Me and my daughter rolling around in the boxing ring



Me and Marshall having a coffee while Avery relaxes on his own



Mrs Dodge just as lightning hit to literally light up the sea

That lightning pic is fab!

The shadow is incredibly dramatic! That was also the night we learned that the video function captures the previous 30 seconds, not the next 30 seconds!

I found that out when playing Sniper Elite. Lots of videos of sitting very still

Thank you Paso Fino for letting me come for the mask, it's everything I hoped it would be

That is incredible. I have some spare that you guys can catalogue if anyone else wants their villagers looking this fabulous

Andrew76

For the night that's in it (SpaceX launch).



Also, check out the gif below. A few folks have mentioned the level of detail in the game recently so thought I would share this example from earlier today - have a look at the shadows of the lamppost and bench come back as the cloud passes overhead. Pretty cool I think.

Andrew that's gas altogether :p:p

I was so confused. I was reading the boards thread and saw Holly's island was open, went to the airport and rapidly clicked A to get over there, wasn't really paying attention, and couldn't figure out what was going on when I got off the plane! Never even saw you!:o

When you ran past the second time I was like 'ah here...' So funny.

And on this night, there was an apparition...

Jesus! :pac:

Just shopping for the weekend.

I still say it was the prayer circle that got us all kicked
