Catching Every Fish, But If I Scare One Away I Restart!

Hi Dagnel please do a challenge where you pay off your first loan with the recycle box in resident services you know the box with the useless items in I wanna see you lose all ur brain cells But do the 98k one Rules no multiplayer on the joycons (cause if someone isn’t the leader items they get go in it) Lose your brain cells Scream Put your sweat and blood into the challenge Hope you do it (All of them would be impossible)

[@hitavi4965]

There's nothing better than these critterpedia/museum challenges, honestly I couldn't imagine taking on a hardcore fishing challenge like this, my nerves just get me every time, but it's so cool to see Dagnel find ways to get it done like the look away index finger method!

[@Radar_of_the_Stars]

I know it's a speedrunning switch and not the console you actually play on day to day, but I find it hilarious to imagine that your switch only has zelda, animal crossing, and suika

[@chadbaby1921]

The only games you need 😭

[@Brooke-un9eh]

Honestly my day to day switch is almost just that 😂 the only difference is I have a Pokémon game too

[@red5_skywalker]

What makes a "speedrunning switch" different from a regular one?

[@lorenzoinorbit]

@@red5_skywalkerit’s just a switch that someone uses for speedrunning. it allows him to have his main animal crossing island on a different switch, and constantly reset the island on his speedrunning switch for challenges.

[@someperson8885]

@@red5_skywalker It's a normal Switch you happen to use exclusively for speedrunning / content creation as opposed to your downtime. So, for example, you can delete saves without worrying about losing your progress, or you can set games to certain versions (important for having certain glitches available) and not upgrade them without missing out on some features in casual play, etc.

[@Chloe-yl6yy]

Gaming with feet is something some disabled players actually do if they have limited movement or strength in their hands or cannot hold a controller (amongst a variety of other reasons or preferences). There's a disabled content creator and accessibility advocate called Arevya who often streams herself playing games with her foot-based gaming setup and it's really interesting and insightful to see!

[@bazelgeiss]

very inspiring but also kinda gross... poor girl probably has a bunch of foot fetishists in her chat

Has Dagnel considered a self love challenge? I hate to see him attempt the most mentally draining runs imaginable.

To be fair, you didn't scare away the fish that you were too late on. It swam off of its own volition.

Hearing at the beginning that there were 4 attempts and seeing him get SO FAR on attempt 2 filled me with so much dread

[@ghijklmn]

I'm surprised that the fish challenge was easier than the bug challenge, but after seeing you do both it completely makes sense. Catch all 80 fish while only scaring ONE away is INSANE and you should be SO proud! Amazing job you absolute madman! Great video and the better than any Bunny Day item!

[@MaskedBobbins2002]

this was my first thought when I saw the title 😂😭

[@Dagnel]

I get this question a lot but these challenges aren't made out of any self loathing, otherwise I wouldn't do them. A lot of people assume I hate myself for doing these but I kind of have to, it's my job 🤷

[@GlowBug2324]

I don't know if this is the place to suggest it but a challenge run could be: Getting five stars only decorating with items, clothes, or crafting recipies you get from balloons. If you're looking for a less miserable challenge, then you're allowed to craft items with materials you gather yourself. I dont think you can obtain wood through balloons so off the bat it really limits what can be crafted; so I really recommend no restrictions on how materials to craft are obtained. If flowers and trees present an issue then those are also allowed, but, and it goes wuthout saying, dont spam them. If you get a duplicate recipie for something you did not obtain through a balloon originally, then you're now able to use that item for decorating. I'm not familiar with acnh mechanics to know if playing on events *dramatically* increases the spawn rate of decor diy's. However if thats the case, then no playing on or close to holidays. (Not unless you're looking for a quick challenge.) Edit: in the case of money falling from balloons. You can use that money directly to craft an item, place as decoration, or buy materials to craft. What you *cant* do is use that money to buy furniture/tools to then use as decoration. * The only acception to buying furniture items is in the case of something like the carboard box. If you've got the recipe for the big or medium stack (obtained via a balloon drop), then you can buy the cardboard boxes to then craft that recipe. Edit 2: I JUST remembered that you need to make furniture for three of your Islanders. So in the case of those three, it's fine to make what you need for them, since game progression is not otherwise possible. You must take down the outdoor furniture once the villagers move into the plots, though. Adjust rules as you see fit. I thought it would be an interesting challenge. Great vid as always, Dagnel!

[@AllegedlyHuman]

For anyone wanting to attempt this challenge (or interested in balloon spawn mechanics): At any minute ending in 4 or 9 when you are outside without visitors, there is a chance of a balloon spawning. It will take a minute to reach shore, and I find the best way to find them is to run up the beach without pressing B and then back down again Event balloons have a slight different spawn time and are slightly faster than normal balloons The side balloons will come in from changes at 6 pm. Which side is when varies from island to island, but it will be constant to *your* island Alternatively, if you don't like hunting them down, you can just gate in your beach with the fence item or other similar tall structures (jail bars come to mind) to funnel all balloons to your waiting spot

[@emmybrooklynn4221]

honestly how i counteract "jumpy thumb" is by putting my thumb right in the center of the four buttons and leave it there while the fish is in the process of finding the bobber. that way when my thumb moves on instinct it wont immediately press the button, just move towards it.

[@moonlaight525]

Ngl I found myself closing my eyes every time you casted a line and waited for the fish to bite

[@Wallis_2001]

I have such a hard time coming to terms with the fact that any human would willingly subject themselves to such a cruel form of torture as this.

[@KingKaibosh]

honestly i love how genuine you are with some of these. like yeah sure you didn't do it perfectly, but who actually cares? you did way better than any whiner in the chat could ever do, you committed to the challenge even after failing and saw it through to the end. like i gotta commend you for this whole thing because god knows if i tried this shit, and i got as far as you did and got as lucky as you did (like i've seen a bunch of your different runs that include getting all the fish and this is like the best fishing luck i've ever seen you get ever) and then suddenly failed? i'd just give up the challenge entirely. but not only did you keep going but you then did THREE more attempts! one of which even almost made it to the end! that's incredible and i do not at all blame you for calling it as you did. hope you're doing well and that you take some time to destress from shit like this

I basically exclusively use hearing to catch fish while I either close my eyes or look away. The AC franchise is maybe the only one that I've actually NEEDED sound. And I think that's a seriously cool mechanic.

[@tinytofucat1823]

Hi Dag! A fun challenge would be to fill your entire inventory (40 slots) with a single rare fish. For example, you could challenge yourself to catch 40 barreleye and see how long that takes. The mystery islands help as they refresh the fish spawns more frequently. I think barreleye is the hardest to find. I can fill my inventory with sharks and dorado long before I catch more than a couple barreleye.

[@mitchboynunn]

I truly cant tell you in words how much i enjoy these long form videos man

[@purplesam2609]

Way too late, but for anyone else doing this, I have a tip: close your eyes after you cast and get the fish pecking. At least for me it makes it near impossible for me to mess it up from an early anticipation press

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

That's way better than I can do. 4 years of the game, and I still have yet to catch 100 in a row without messing up. Lol.

[@KikurixLia]

I can certainly see why this challenge may be the easier one and your tips/method for catching seems really helpful as well for it. Both this and the bug challenge are really impressive feats and they are a great watch, thanks as always for making them available as an unedited version on your second channel

You should do an all villager photos speed run if you never have, although take a break after this honker of a challenge.

Attempt 2 had a 99.7% accuracy, that’s pretty incredible

[@gigleorex]

What about a run to get to five stars and/or pay off all your debts while collecting as few Nook Miles Rewards as possible? You get Nook Miles for just about everything, so finding the "path of minimum achievement" would be pretty interesting I think. Only issue could be the actual application of the plan ending up very tedious, but hey, that's your specialty! I guess you'd avoid going online as well.
