- Have you considered...

-
-
- What is this? -
- - The Labelle Litanizer generates random Animal Crossing: - New Leaf outfits. Ignoring the realities of the period - and distribution of your random number generator, all possible - outfits should have some chance of appearing. - -
- What's with the name? -
- - It's inspired by Ian - Bogost's Latour - Litanizer, and his writings about objects and carpentry - more generally. - -
- Why? -
- - Latour litanies confront us with objects in a way that defies - our usual methods of grouping or reduction. In a similar way - the Labelle Litanizer asks us to consider the possible rather - than merely the desirable or expected. New Leaf - contains a huge number of objects you can wear (or otherwise - visibly present with, if you are uncomfortable saying you are - "wearing" an ice cream cone). But that scale and diversity is - obscured due to its grouping algorithms, the small number - presented at any one time, and our cultural norms about dress. - -
- - Can I restrict it to my / catalogable / easily-accessible items (no - DLC / region-exclusives)? - -
- - No. Instead, consider how the true Daseine of the - objects you think you have are also inaccessible to you. - -
- Can you add images? -
- - I would like to, but a full set of wearable object images - doesn't exist, and if it did I probably couldn't host it here - due to its size (estimated ~150MB). If you have one and want - to host it, let me know. - - -
- It generated an invalid outfit / sentence / MoriDB link.
- It can't generate some valid outfit.
- You're missing my favorite item.
- - - Email me (joe.wreschnig at gmail) with the details, - please. I'm certain there's still miscategorized caps/hats - vs. masks/helmets, and plenty of items I forgot. - -
