tonghuan: The Paradox of Time Travel in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The science fiction novelist H.G. Wells wrote in his novella "Time Machine" that the matter of time travel does not seem to be complicated. His eponymous machine is made of "brass, ebony, ivory and translucent shimmering quartz". If you only have the right tools, it is like a mechanical device that can be pieced together in real life. To travel for thousands of years, all Time Traveler needs in his story is to pull the right joystick and twist the right knob on the machine.

Just like the classic science fiction story, the journey through time and space in Animal Crossing: New Horizons feels relatively simple. There is indeed no puzzling hacker: just enter the system menu, adjust the "ate and Time" setting, and then select the Animal Crossing Bells and time you want to use. This may be the closest time for us to experience all the wonders of time travel. This phenomenon in the new horizon has now been accepted by the public. Keep going and earn your fortune.

Through time travel, players can participate in various tricks: play the radish stem market, catch outdated fish and insects, or cross hybrid flowers in the blink of an eye. However, irresponsible time travel does have consequences. Your fruit will rot in a few minutes. Some villagers will feel neglected and leave your island-it seems that they no longer exist due to the passage of time. Your house will see unwanted guests in the form of cockroaches, and your island will soon be infected with weeds, which lowers your island score. Although its influence is quite modest in magnificent things, these events are somewhat similar to the old-fashioned and more important methods of space-time exploration in the sci-fi genre.

The consequences of these time-travels in New Horizons are shadowed by the butterfly effect, where small changes may cause earthquake changes in unpredictable ways. Jumping too far, trying to catch valuable off-season creatures, you may find that valuable radish stocks are rotten and worthless. Regardless of being addicted to a dull bell, New Horizons’s misfortunes will ultimately not change the island in the manner of ACNH Bells, which is the same as the author of the novel Ray Bradbury (Ray Bradbury). "A Sound of Thunder" is different.

In this short story, when a hunter accidentally stepped on a butterfly while traveling far away, the world experienced subtle and significant changes. For example, even the spoken English used in the alternative universe is slightly different from the current version of Hunter. Of course, players can also feel the changes in the game on the IGGM website Buy Animal Crossing Bells.
