Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[angelprincesskiki]

Today I learned that the golden trout is not the largest fish size. I have been trying to get one for 2 months now and I have been catching the large fish in my river and could never find one. Gave up, stopped looking and accepted I will just have an empty slot in my critterpedia but was looking for a cherry salmon for Bianca tonight and caught a medium size fish and what did I find? FINALLY A golden trout!

Today I learned that you actually hear someone's island tune if you use their airport.

You can actually hear it everywhere on the island. Shops, villagers, and hourly chime

interacting w a raccoon figurine makes them let out a lil noise

 

[Reineke]

TIL that the magazines are customizable... I kept waiting for another design to show up in nook's cranny. OOF

 

[JKDOS]

I don't know if this counts, but I went to talk to Isabelle, and was caught off guard with this unexpected news. My island isn't even crowed with furniture.

TIL: I have a 5-star town.

I learned that NMT have no value now. Or any item. >.>

So I found out today that if you interact with a villager’s closet, you can see some of the clothes that are gifted to them. When they haven’t gotten any gifts, it will say it’s empty! Probably not that new, but I like it! Feeling snoopy and checking closets now :3

Idk if it quite counts as a thing I "learned" but rather discovered:

I've been listening to the in-game radio, and in one of the commercial breaks I heard the 3 p.m. tune from New Leaf play. That's such a cool easter egg!

Oh and I also learned you can customize the vintage TV tray! Great, because I really wasn't feeling that green surface...

Sometimes when you're listening to a convo between two villagers, your character will react to what they say!

 

[Sicariana]

TIL villagers can interact with the Exercise Ball item.

 

[JackABee]

TIL that the fountain decoration does a water show on the hour. Look at your fountains at 4:00, for example. The top part of the fountain will spray water high in the air!

You can tell if a tool is about to break by going to sell something to the Nook boys. If it’s on its last legs, it will be faded out in your pocket inventory and won’t be clickable to sell

***EDIT*** This isn’t accurate, sorry! It’s whatever tool you’re holding when you enter the shop. Sorry for the bad intel!

til that one blue rose wreath sells for 20k

I only recently realized that every item/decor piece in every villager’s home can be acquired in the game, so you could live in a mirror of a character’s home with enough effort on tracking everything down with trades etc

Are you sure you weren't holding the tool? You can't sell or store a tool you're currently holding. It would be cool if this also applied to damaged tools you aren't holding.

 

[sigh]

til that star fragments are supposed to be/look like konpeito

Hmm, I don’t recall, but I may have been. Will have to monitor to see if I was wrong, thanks for flagging this!

I recently learned that there are a lot of different programs on the tvs in game, and one of those is the weather forecast. This actually tells you what weather it will be for you with a picture. The forecast of 06:15, 07:45, and 11:45 tell you what weather it will be that day, the forecast of 18:30 and 22:45 tells you what weather it will be the next day. If only the news would tell me if I had any special visitors...

Omg I never made that connection until now :O Now I can't unsee it. I wonder if there's meaning behind it but it explains all the different colours!

I just met Pudge on an island today and found out tha he has a new catchphrase, It is "golly". Just why?!! his old one was fine -__-
