Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[GEEBRASS]

Wait, really? Mine have never grown or spread on the beach, NO FAIR I WANT TALL WEEDS ON MY BEACH NEXT TO THE RIVER MOUTH

So far they seem to be, maybe it was a weird fluke, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Today I learnt that you can get requests from villager pings! Octavian pinged me and asked me to catch him a carp

Don't do it!

I learned that these seemingly innocent and easy requests turns them into displaying whatever you catch in their house. It's hard to say no, but I pass.

Star fragments disappear if you don't pick them up first.. I thought I could pick them later after I went to sleep but they were all gone.. lesson learned I will pick them up and drop them again them next time

TIL the music always gets quiet on the third level! I thought it was just because my third level areas were all near the shore, but then I built a cliff tower farther inland to test and it still happened. Good to keep in mind for peaceful areas and such. Could also be a potential solution for if you hate the music but still want to hear sounds, just make the whole island third level

TIL that you can put patterns on the pier?? :0

I learnt that Beau is pronounced as bow, like bow n arrow, not beau, like in beautiful.

 

[greenvoldemort]

houses can be built on the beach??

 

[cucumberzest]

You can dispel wasps by using the party poppers.

Two things I learned a looong time ago but here they are:

• You cannot catch fleas off of big chic brains if they are sitting in a chair
• If a big chic brain is having a conversation with another villager, and you talk to them, the "I have fleas" dialogue takes priority over the conversation dialogue and the conversation ends

TIL You twirl your umbrella faster if you're sitting down.

You can’t have bushes on the beach.

 

[Shyria]

You can’t have bushes on the beach.

Made me very sad too

TIL that if there is a thunderstorm you can even see it from inside your house! The lightnings will briefly show through your windows. So cool!

Snapping Turtle roars scare fish.

I accidentally pressed A on the snapping turtle I had placed on my shore and away goes a potential Giant Trevally

EDIT: It’s been pointed out that it’s actually the pressing A interaction that scares them, not the turtle

Weeds do grow!

today i learned that if a villager is sitting down when you ask them if they lost something, they stand up so they can talk to you properly. not really that cool, but i love the detail they put in this game!

I think it’s the pressing A that scares the fish, I’ve interacted with other things on the beach edge and scared fish away.
