Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

My guide book arrived. TIL meteor showers are rarer than we think

Today I learned (probably late to the party but oh well) that putting K.K. songs in one stereo makes them accessible to all stereos. I thought it was specific to which one you put them in so I've been keeping my songs in storage. Frees up a few slots in my storage, at least.
 
Ok so I may just be thick, but today I learned that when you pick up a lost item and select it in your inventory, there is an "Investigate" option that describes the item to you, so you can guess who it belongs to!

In past games you just had to ask everyone until you found the right person, so I never thought to examine it in my inventory!! Now it suddenly makes sense how villagers were telling me "How could you think this was mine??" and were able to point me to the right person lmao
 
I don't know if this is an "I've learned" or just something interesting I've noticed but C.J seems to hang around one place I. Your town, only moving and walking small amounts, and Flick will walk all around your island and not stay in one spot.
I noticed this too! The last few times he's appeared in the same spot as well for me, it makes selling things to him so easy. I always lose Flick though lol
 
Oh, also, just in case you're in the same boat:

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize all my friends weren't actually typing "I'm online!" with the exact same punctuation and spelling every time they started the game. Like, embarrassingly. I assumed they had just all picked up the habit. I only figured it out when I messaged a friend back and they acted like they hadn't wanted to be noticed despite the fact that they just broadcasted "I'm online!" I was taking it as an open invitation for multiplayer the entire time ._.

I feel like they should make it "[playername] is online!" or give the online messages a different color or something to make it more obvious that it's an automated message, and avoid confusing dumb people like me ._.

i was on the brink of asking my friend why they always typed that and i'm just so glad it didn't come to that
 
I guess I'll share this image here too, courtesy of r/AnimalCrossing.

I've gotten Celeste multiple nights with no shooting stars or meteor showers ( With overcast) Does that mean a shooting stars and meteor showers were guaranteed to happen sometime before 5am?

On the other side, last week, Isabelle said I was having a meteor shower. I stayed up until 11pm, I didn't see a single shooting star, and did not see Celeste at all.

Also, I've had Redd on a Saturday, so that is a possibility
 
I learned that birthday celebrants stay in their house all day. Happy birthday to my dearest Pekoe! 🎉🎉🎉
 
I just barely realized I could use the map app on other peoples islands (and it shows their island and not mine), makes it so much easier to find who’s crafting when they use the name of the villager (I’ve been running around looking at the signs in front of their houses).
 
1. That you have limited tries to convince your camper to live in your town. I learned this the hard way when I was constantly guessing what cards to choose. I lost three times and blew it. And when I tried to convince that camper again, they didn't budge sadly. And guess who it was? It was Whitney...

2. The footprints in the sand are shaped differently depending on the animal.

3. The footprints you leave by the waves disappear almost instantly compared to just walking on sand and seeing those footprints staying there for a little while.

4. When I went to Photopia and dragged my villagers in the air, I heard metal clanking. Turns out the noise was coming from Sterling! I'm assuming his metal helmet is making the noise. Please let me know if metallic clothing does this as well, especially to Knox!
 
That villagers have certain hobbies along with their personalities. It explains why I never see Coco running around but Bob is ALWAYS running. It's cute tho so I don't mind haha

This is untrue actually! If you talk to them enough times, they will eventually give you another shot at the card game, or even just agree to move in if you've asked them enough times. Sometimes it can take a really long time for the option to come up again (I spent over ten minutes just talking to Sprinkle over and over and over again today) but eventually, it will happen :)

Interesting! You see, even when I had the option to try and move Whitney in after a few times of playing the card game, she said something along the lines of still living on her previous island despite its flaws and refuse to take my offer. Maybe it's just me after all. I did keep spamming through the dialogue so I might have missed something. I'm still bummed out that I wasn't able to get her, but we can't get everything that we want.

On the topic of this thread, the sound design is really great! When it rains, you can hear the raindrops pitter patter on the roofs. When inside your house and play the radio, it seems to muffle out ever so slightly depending on where the camera is or where the radio is facing.

I had to ask Raymond for over 30 mins. He kept saying no and I kept losing at his games. You just have to be persistent!
