User:The Jacketed Terrapin

Hello! I call myself "The Jacketed Terrapin", but you can also call me any of the nicknames listed at the end of the "Name Origin" section. I've been an editor on this wiki since September 23rd, 2015; however, I actually started under a different account in June 2015, but I couldn't remember the password to that account, so I made a new one and pretty much abandoned the old one.

Name Origin
Before my current name, I used to be called "TurtleCrossing" (with my old account being named "TurtleLovingGuy"), but I have decided to drop that name altogether because I wanted a name that I felt would identify me better (I initially formatted it as "JacketedTerrapin" before settling with the current name).

While you can probably guess the reasoning for my turtle-themed name and avatar, the jacket in my sona's design is based on an O'Neill jacket I got for Christmas of 2016 (I believe). What really stood out about this jacket for me was that it was covered in faux fur on the inside, thus providing extra warmth whenever it was cold somewhere and it was admittedly a very comfortable jacket to use as a pillow, too :P.

Do note that the jacket has been simplified for my design, as the real-life jacket has thin stripes in its design as well as sporting the O'Neill logo. The jacket also isn't quite that shade of blue, but I thought it looked nicer.

As a side note, you can call me by a few shorter nicknames. Some preferred names are "Terrapin", "Terra", or "T.J.".

My Relation to the Animal Crossing Series
My knowledge for Animal Crossing all started with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which heavily represented the series despite it not even having a playable character in that game. While I never intended to get into the series at the time, I did have some curiosity for it, and I even watched an English fandub of the Movie (can't remember who did the dub I watched, though).

Somewhere in the early 2010s, I gained this new interest in a little web series called "Happy Tree Friends", and I thought it'd be pretty funny if I mixed a cute video game series with cute animal people with an internet cartoon that's similar in a way but has an emphasis on gore. Looking back at it, I am not really fond of the idea. (Fun fact: The fanfic's equivalent to Flippy was a male Villager, and this was long before the meme that depicts the Villager in Smash Bros. as a psychopathic serial killer)

Anyway, my real first Animal Crossing experience was with New Leaf in 2013. Ever since I got this game, I instantly became hooked and became so attached to it that I wanted to try out other games in the series. My first attempt to try the series' prior installments was by downloading an English patch for the Nintendo 64 game. It was working fine at first, but then it started to crash once it hit I believe Day 3. I then downloaded another English patch from a different website, but the same problem occurred, and it even gave my laptop a virus. Because of these issues, I have never attempted to download emulators since.

My first real pre-New Leaf game was City Folk in 2015, which probably wasn't the best game to start with in hindsight (grass deterioration, villagers saying the same thing over and over again until you enter/exit a building, villagers becoming sad 90% of the time if you don't accept their requests, etc.). That same year, I got Happy Home Designer, which was honestly fine for what it was, although it admittedly shouldn't've been $20.

In 2018, I got Wild World on the Wii U Virtual Console. I have considered getting the physical copy of the game back in maybe 2014 as my second Animal Crossing game, but what made me stop doing so is the fact that the final Tom Nook shop upgrade could not be unlocked without a another player buying an item from the 2nd-to-last upgrade, meaning you not only needed another copy of the game, but another system altogether; while I did have multiple Nintendo DS/3DS systems, the requirement for needing to have another copy pretty much turned me away from owning the physical version. Thankfully, the VC version removed that awful requirement, so I downloaded it with no problem.

In 2020, I got New Horizons. I was planning to get this game as a birthday gift, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic starting to make its rounds around March 2020, I instead had it pre-ordered and available to me by launch. For the first time in my experience with the series, I have actually went out of my way to fully complete the catalog (well, at least the non-furniture items, anyway. Locking the other variants behind stuff like balloons or Jolly Redd's is the absolute worst; so is making the two remaining fruits unobtainable without visiting someone's island).
