Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Nefarious]

That's right! If a villager is sitting, you can bump into them to get them to stand up.

Gotta bully them to shower them with love I suppose.

Mechanically, it's a good detail, nice that they added that.

Watching Mayor Mori, I learned a lot of tricks I didn't even think of trying, for example planting a tree behind a medium or smaller tree to prevent it from growing any further. It's made me reimagine how I decorate my island.

I already knew this trick, but it might help someone else:
If a villager is sitting outside and you want to gift them an item, just push them until they get up and then you can gift them an item; If they're fishing talk to them 3 times and then you can gift them a present.

Yes! I feel kinda bad whenever I use the mechanic. But at least the villagers don't get upset with us.

Lucky has three graves in his house.

WHY? :-/

 

[Lullaboid]

When wasps are chasing you, they can't go under arches. They have to go around.

TIL that you can delete custom patterns And they will stay on certain things: the town flag and your Nook phone. It’s useful if you want to clear up space and know you won’t be using that pattern elsewhere.

also: you can apparently pop a balloon with a net if it floats by and you are above it, like on a cliff!

 

[k e r f u f f l e]

Terraforming cliffs in empty spaces are a great way to take up space, make your island look cuter, and add some City Folk vibes to walkways!

Now that the cooler weather is here, the ponds and rivers have a mist on them in the morning. It made running around to do my morning chores a bit more fun.

 

[Enxssi]

if you go to someone’s island, lay down, wait for them to dig holes around you, then get up, you’ll fall into the holes.

I just randomly found out that if a rock re-spawns right next to a tree (without space between the two) which still needs to completely grow up, the tree will not continue growing up, instead it gets stuck in it's current stage. However, if you remove the rock, the tree will continue growing up the next day. Furthermore, I didn't even know that a rock can re-spawn next to a tree without having space between the two.

Had no idea until today that the parabolic antenna moves.

 

[Sheep Villager]

Either I'm losing my sanity after shaking trees for acorns but I swear they make a different sound than a branch when they fall down.​

 

[Insulaire]

OMG just tested this out. I never thought to interact with it. It's incredible that six months in and there's still little touches like this to discover!

 

[John Wick]

The snail model kinda glows at night. ^_^

Same! I wanted to turn it around but didn't hold the button, next thing I know it's moving

 

[Mick]

I only found that out once someone came over and started touching all the furniture on my island! It is still moving up and down to this day lol

Today I learned that if you whack Wisp with your net out of pure frustration, he still explodes into pieces and expects you to go after them. No thanks Wisp, I have the achievement

 

[Le Ham]

TIL you can get boots (and therefore probably other pond garbage) in the recycling bin.

I... probably had this happen to me before and just never consciously took note of it?

 

[Katzenjammer]

Today I learned that the cannon you get from Gullivarrr actually fires cannon balls if you interact with it! (Thanks to @Uffe!)

 

[Uffe]

Lol. Gotta watch your step going through some rooms.

Welp, I guess today I learned that @Katzenjammer learned from @Uffe that the Gullivarrr cannon fires cannon balls. LOL

(But seriously... I didn’t know this. What the heck.)
