In a recent post on theAnimal Crossingsubreddit, user turtledragon05 shared a humorous video showing their character inNew Horizonscatching a Sea Bassfrom the ocean and immediately releasing it into freshwater to get revenge on the poor creature. While it’s impossible to kill any characters or animals in the game, the user says it’s the closest they can get to doing so, with many players in the comments commiserating with this frustration. Several other users shared their similarly dastardly punishments, with one sharing that their friend would put Sea Bass in fish tanks next to the ocean, taunting them with freedom but never allowing it. Another admitted to tossing them in freshwater ponds, so they would have no way to escape back to the ocean.
