Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Crawkey]

Scallops do a little back flip in their tanks when you press A at them. :] (doesn't have to turn the tank light on/off)

I'm pretty sure before the 1.4 update of New Horizons, the bubble that appears in the phone icon when you complete an nook miles + achievement is static. Now, I see that the + bubble pulsing whenever you complete an achievement. I see what you did there, Nintendo.

Today I learned the King Tut mask now exists in NH! (And is maybe connected to luck?)

TIL that you can have a large spike for turnip prices three weeks in a row! I never earned many bells playing the stalk market in the earlier games so maybe this isn’t new to anyone else.

I believe it’s a 20% chance if you had it the week before. Since odds don’t have memories beyond one week, it’s just as likely the week after two weeks as it is after one

That is good to know, thank you!

In addition to the skull wall, the starry wall also glows in the dark!

I didn't read all the pages and I'm sorry if this has been told multiple times,

but today I learned that people can gift a birthday present to someone else's villager


Today my Deli told me the shirt he was wearing was from a friend of mine and that friend confirmed he had to give him something when we went to Deli's birthday

For now on I'll be carefull when I invite someone on a villager's birthday

TIL the vibration of the controllers are different when you dig up grass vs. sand. Digging up sand is soooo relaxing.

 

[OtakuTrash]

Today I learned that flies exist

 

[Lightspring]

Today I learned that the zori sandals from the Ables’ make satisfying clopping (if that’s even the right words) noises on hard surfaces. It’s really fun to run around like a kid in the shops

 

[Pretty Dead Boy]

TIL (not really today but still recently) even if you made a spelling/grammar error when you request a song from K.K. Slider to get the song, you can still request the song again using the right spelling/grammar and get the song afterwards!

 

[OtakuTrash]

Today I learned that Cookie is my best friend

Today I learned that scorpions don't outright attack you if you're not holding your net. I have been holding my net as a precaution for scorpions at night so I could at least try to catch them, but I just made life harder for myself ^^;

 

[kindakooky]

I learned that if you go up one of the bamboo trees you get for the Tanabata festival and press "A" your character will read one of messages from one of the tanzuki (the colourful strips of paper) hung on the tree!

I actually learned this yesterday but I wanted to mention it anyway cos I thought it was cool.

 

[JasonAldeanMG]

TIL you can't dig up Manila Clams on mystery islands.

Yeah, I also learned this way, way too late. Months of tarantula and scorpion stress could have been avoided. Now I never run with a net after dark and life is so much better. Plus it's actually easier to catch them now if I want to because I just stop and get my net once I'm in a good position to do so!

Thanks for the info! I was out last night holding my net hunting for scorpions and got stung by one I saw too late. Now I know what to do!
