Ikr, I found this out at the beginning of NH. But after spamming A on Wild world for about 5 years and then on New leaf, I can’t stop now.

I know! It just feels wrong to not spam the buttons to try to reel in the fish

I feel like the fish is just going to swim away if I don’t put up a fight

If you log out for the night in the airport without saving, the next day when you open the game, you'll be in the airport, and the new day won't load until you leave the airport.

TIL villagers don't appreciate being given fish/bug models. At least it was just a ribbon eel one that looked weird because it wraps around awkwardly so as to fit into one tile. There wasn't a good angle to display it from lol

and Rodney gave me a meme shirt for my trouble so it was worth it

Apparently when shopping at other people's able store, if you buy clothes from the changing room and you choose not to wear it, it goes into your inventory.

Yep, I guess cause their Mabel cannot access your storage. If you buy in your own town when your storage is full, it will also go into your inventory (sadly). Source; i am a shopaholic and a hoarder.

Don't know why couldn't they have done the same thing for your island or at least have an option to choose whether you want to send it your storage or not. :/

I mean realistically I guess it's a wifi communication strain and they don't want to risk losing the items.

Blathers will not accept donations when you have visitors on your island

Ah yes, another one I keep forgetting about: if your character is standing in the small corridors that connect the rooms, you can't pick them up & move them around when you go in design/decorating mode!

I learned that you can earn nook miles after visiting someone’s island. I had my sibling play online with her real life friend the other day and I was shook that you can earn nook miles this way.

I believe it’s only the first island you visit for that day.

TIL (on this forum) that the mailbox automatically deletes the oldest letters when it's full!
I do hope that the favorite ones aren't deleted though.

So I just realized magazines are customizable orz I know alot of other ones are, but always thought magazine is like books. Books have variations but magazine is customized? Lol I feel like an idiot... TT

This was a few days ago, but when you switch from a wallpaper w/o windows to one with windows, and there's wall furniture where the windows would normally be, this text rolls across the screen

I learned today that you can adjust the volume of KK Slider songs without having to adjust your overall switch volume.

Wait that’s crazy! How can you do that? I never knew that bc I always thought it was a set volume like the hourly music

If you go to a music player and open the song selection screen, hit the - or + button to make it louder or softer. I think it shows you at the top what volume it's on. There's three settings, the normal one, a louder one and a quieter one.
