Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Red Cat]

I learned that when hunting for sea creatures, larger creatures produce more bubbles, so if you're looking for something large, you can ignore anything that's only producing a few bubbles. It could still just be seaweed or a sea anemone, but you can easily tell those when you get close and they don't move.

It was always that way for me. Only when I wrapped the stack did it give the villager all of them (and still does).

Ohhhhhh... I did get lazy with the wrapping recently so that explains why I only found out now haha! Good to know!!! Ty

I just learned Timmy and Tommy have different voices.
I got the game a few days ago, so...

 

[neoqueenserenity]

I learned that leaving out spoiled turnips brought out the ants!

 

[USN Peter]

Today, I have learned that villager sends an art piece as a gift via mail.

 

[Catharina]

I learned that Nooks cranny has a different song 10 min before it closes! Its such a beautiful song and sleepy Timmy and Tommy are the cutest! (This was also in new leaf how did I not know that ;') )

 

[Romaki]

Aw, I learned that Tom Nook announces your birthday on the bulletin board. Was that a thing in New Leaf? I don't remember...

I picked up Aurora's lost journal this morning and I was going to keep it, but just now she had a thought bubble and she seemed really worried about losing it, then asked me for the favour of retrieving it.

I didn't know they did that. Of course I had to hand it over

I learned that if you pull bells out of your money to fill the last open space in your inventory before talking to a crafting villager in case you don't want what they're making, the game just puts the money back automatically and you still get the DIY.

I learnt this exact same thing! Sneaky.

TIL something thing pertaining to birthdays
I had mine yesterday and it was wonderful! I used a spoiler box because I know some people may not have experienced their birthday yet and might not want spoilers

Spoiler

that when you give your birthday cupcakes to your villagers you get a wrapped gift in return. Also when I went to my husbands island today his villagers wished me a belated birthday

I learned that when swimming, you can hold down the A button to continuously paddle with your feet! It's slightly slower but can be helpful to those not wanting to spam A all the time.

 

[Hobowire]

hold the left and spamming A speeds up isabelle's dialogue.

The pale sky color of the Soft-Serve Lamp is actually Ramune in the japanese. So it's actually just genetic soda flavor ice cream with a bad translation cause there's really no equivalent flavor outside of Asian countries.

And it doesn't taste like a cream soda or a root beer float.

 

[TheSillyPuppy]

There is a frog villager (Raddle) designed after a doctor. Now I'm tempted to move him onto my island if I ever run into him and give him Dr. Mike quotes as his catchphrase+greeting.

 

[craftyshack]

Today I learned that the villager Croque is actually inspired by the Japanese Daruma dolls!! I was so surprised because... well I couldn't initially see it. Because I am building a part of my island that is buddhist monestary inspired, I briefly toyed with the idea of having him move in, haha. But, yeah I think I will try to move in Kabuki instead, even through Crouque would fit more perfectly being created after a Buddhist monk!

 

[TheSillyPuppy]

Today I learned that I have to bring a ladder with me to Mystery Islands. I watched a villager hunting VOD from before the July 3rd update, where people commented that if you didn't bring a ladder, you'd end up on islands without cliffs.

I learned that Labelle doesn't work with Sabel and Mabel anymore. She did for a while in New Leaf, but she's a freelance designer now.

I haven't been playing NH for that long and avoided spoilers, so I thought she still worked with her sisters.

In City Folk Label left her sisters to work for Gracie and made it big as an assistant/designer or something. In NL she came back to help the family business. It would be nice for her to come back and bring some clothes updates with her or something.

Label's style check was what Gracie did so you could upgrade to the final shop. Label's visit does really nothing except give you a cheap ticket when 3,000 bells is easy to get as it is and some Label designer clothes that aren't really my style.

Not sure if this was common knowledge already but you can speed crafting times by double pressing A. Guides say you should tap it a couple of times but if you dont wanna murder your A button, just twice is fine. What a time saver.
