Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Neechan]

I discovered furniture disappears just like trees or flowers you have when putting down houses, inclines, and bridges. As i was placing an incline for my museum it said something about needing to do some landscaping and then what i had there was gone. I was hoping it relocated to my storage but no.
RIP lunar lander.

you sure it didn’t go to the town hall lost and found?

I've been ignoring small finned fish, thinking they were suckerfish.

I said to my wife just a few minutes ago when I was about to ignore another small finned fish, "Surely they haven't reduced the whale shark to the size of a suckerfish shadow".

So I went after it.

It was a whale shark.

its hard to tell the shadows in this game, but suckerfish are medium length where whale sharks are huge

The shadows are the same though.

Whale shark shadows are small. The same as the finned suckerfish.

TIL that it looks like the flowers on Isabelle's desk change with the seasons! It used to be orange tulips but now it's red roses :D

Check your recycling bin.

I didn't know sitting on a toilet would reset your fruit meter to 0. I wanna be mad but I'll be honest it got a chuckle out of me.

And the tulips in front of Nook’s are now a life preserver!

That you can't place paths under fences, so you have to put the fences on after
Time to take off all the fences on my island, Sigh...

I learned today that you can get mosquito bites!

It's not as bad as those bee stings.

TIL When someone gets a villager in boxes from your island, "I've moved out" will appear on their door instead of them still being in boxes.

In Northern we learned that the villagers hold popsicles, since it's summer. In the southern hemisphere, it is winter. So they hold cups of soup

Ok, so you know how the jolly painting is Summer by Giuseppe Arcimboldo?
Well TIL that he made more than one version of it… and that in-game they chose the one with the sad face for the jolly painting…?

For real!

Spoiler: the two versions

Spoiler: screenshot from the game

This is something that irritates me as well. with the introduction of multiple accounts on the same island, building things like Hotels and Cafes are useless.

I like these subtle seasonal changes that I'm noticing. In Resident Services, they have a wall fan installed. When I first opened up the game, that's the first thing I noticed. When I went to the Nook's Cranny, the appearance of the front store seemed to have changed to the summer theme with the blue background in the windows and the lifesaver float. The weeds seemed to have changed in appearance too. Lastly, when I went to the Able Sisters to try out some clothing, the background shows a summer theme compared to the spring theme where red flowers are used.

Idk if this is the case for their own houses, but apparently villagers can sing at other villagers’ houses! I was visiting Rocket at the same time as Marina, and Marina walked up to the stereo and started singing along. Marina’s one of my original five so she doesn’t have a stereo in her own house, otherwise maybe she’d sing there too?

Now so tempted to TT to winter just to see bob with a little cup of soup

TIL when it's a dark rainy day, the street lamps will turn on.

She would! I don't catch them singing inside often, but Muffy has sung in her own house.

Today I learned that octopus are cut in New Horizons. Nevermind what I said earlier, I completely forgot they are deep sea creatures in New Leaf lmao

 

[Wolfie]

I learned that you can poop in the game, lol.

Today I learned that a contrail will appear in the sky for up to 15 minutes after a DAL plan departs or lands.
