Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Shellzilla_515]

Today, I learned that your villagers can also sit by the beach where the waves and sand meet (won’t their bottoms be covered in sand though?). Another thing about the sound: Even the computer that Raymond has in his house makes noise! I assume it’s the cooling fan making the noise and I just LOVE these small details.

Today I learned that if there's a random camper in your campsite, you can kick them out with an amiibo.

Today, I discovered the bamboo noodle slide is interactive. It's the tiniest detail too!

Today, I learned that race car beds made a beeping sound!

Today I learned (actually was like 3 days ago but I’ve only just remembered to post it LOL) that if you have a zodiac fragment and you speak to celeste she will tell you all about the origin of that particular name for the star frag (e.g. I had a cancer frag and she told me all about the cancer crab being crushed by Hercules) some may find it boring but I’ve never really looked into the origins of Zodiac signs

I learned that long locusts have the courage to jump over rivers. As if it's already annoying enough trying to catch them...

Til that balloons always show up at inconvenient times like in the middle of the bugoff round. I swear I’ve seen more balloons today than any other time.

Today I learned the starry wall wallpaper changes when u turn the lights on and off (works best at night). When u turn the light off the wall paper slowly starts to glow. I really like it it reminds me of the glow-in-the-dark stars I had on my ceiling as kid. Think it’s my favorite item in the game now

Today I learned you can’t place shoes on a stall. Just... why?

Today I learned that if two villagers sat together on the same bench, their first 2 dialogue indicated they are talking to each other (as long as you don't talk to them few moments ago). Flurry (normal villager) said she is catching up with what everyone's doing and she have a great time talking and Marshal (smug villager) has a inner thought (the grey word colour instead of the normal black word colour) about how this is not the best time to talk to him. I am sorry I interrupted both of your conversation haha, Marshal dearie, I am just curious.

I think each personality will have different dialogue so I probably will try to take note the next time I saw two villagers sitting on a same bench again. Though I think it might be rare.

Label will use a umbrella in the rain xD(unlike most of the other traveling npcs that I have seen who don’t)!

Villagers will reset their catchphrases when they move to your island without having to talk to Isabelle.

I've never had a villager move to my island without a default catchphrase since I prefer ungifted/original villagers. I'm so glad this is a thing otherwise I would have had a villager running around with a rude/disgusting catchphrase that would spread to everyone and make me sad.

Til that balloons always show up at inconvenient times like in the middle of the bugoff round. I swear I’ve seen more balloons today than any other time.

Since balloons have a chance to show up every 5 minutes, and the bug off rounds are 3 minutes each, you're almost guaranteed to see one balloon per round.

i learned that villagers dont accepts bells!

was supposed to give cole an apple but accidentally clicked on a bag of 99k bells and my heart stopped lmfao

 

[nonobadkitty]

Today I learned that stag beetles have fights in the museum and other bugs watch.

TIL that when you drop items on a table and turn that table, the dropped sprite turns as well!! I'm pretty darn sure that in NL it stayed the same way like a 2d texture, but here it seems the dropped items are actually models! :0
Or at least the classic furniture leaf is, haha, it looks so weird when you turn it xD

 

[Sloom]

TIL that you can jump off of the little board bit at the airport and start swimming. useful to know if you're trying to block people from going to certain areas of your island, you'll have to try to make sure they can't swim around your barriers lol

 

[Rubombee]

TIL that there's been a change in Saharah's dialogue!
Now instead of ending the dialogue after every purchase, they ask you if you wanna buy more :D
So you can keep buying without having to start a conversation every time~

Today, I learned there are two different ways to dive into the water! For the flashy frontflip dive, you have to run towards the water which we already saw. However, if you're that type of person who likes doing flips, just stand by the water and press A to do a regular dive. This only works on docks and rocks as doing it by the shore will only have you walk towards the water.

While I was swimming for sea creatures, I noticed that the music and the raindrops (it was raining on my island) get slightly muffled every time I dive into the water.

Guys, I just realized that you can knock on the door of the portable toilet. And if you keep knocking eventually the person inside knocks back!!! At least that's how I think of that.
I was not expecting it, it freaked me out lol.

If you try it, it takes awhile so just keep interacting with it.
