Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Vsmith]

Today I learned that if you water your pumpkins with the golden watering can it will give you 3 pumpkins!!!

Today I learned (and just noticed) that the Jack portrait actually glows and I found that to be really cool and spooky.

This has probably been mentioned already but Tasha's eyes are weird. Sometimes both the pupils are orange, then it turns yellow. Then sometimes the left one is yellow and the other is orange. And vice versa. It keeps changing when she blinks.

Any watering can will work to get your three pumpkins per harvest from each sprout. You just need to water them once every day until the pumpkins can be harvested (three times if you're starting with Pumpkin Starts, two times if you're using a regrowth).

TIL that if you stand by the Able Sisters' shop when it's rainy/windy, you can hear the creaking of their little shop sign as it blows in the wind.

I'm not positive about any rain, it was also quite windy on my island.

She's currently cleaning up her house in preparation to leave ExIsle. It makes me really sad, but I had to let her spread her little wings.

I had it in my head that if the scallop you find is the last item you can carry, leaving your pockets full, pascal won’t show up and offer to trade it for a present - I don’t know why, maybe NL was like that? But anyway, Today I Learned this is not true, yay!

TIL: if you have your catalog app open, and time has passed to the next day but the game hasn't rolled over yet (you would've had to open the app on the previous day and left it open until 5 am or later), you can shop for stuff and have it delivered to your mailbox immediately after Isabelle finishes talking! Useful if you're like me and fall asleep playing at night

Just did some math... To craft all the mushroom and maple leaf DIYs once, you need:

8 round mushrooms
15 skinny mushrooms
14 flat mushrooms
3 elegant mushrooms
1 rare mushroom
51 maple leaves
9 pine cones
9 acorns

33 branches
34 weeds
24 wood
9 clay
10 stones
3 star fragments
and 1 log stool, which itself requires 4 hardwood.

I learned that if you ate a fruit you could break rocks and move trees. I learned this a while back, but it was life changing.

If your pockets are already full when you catch a scallop, you will be able to swap another sea creature out, but Pascal won’t come after that swap. Saw that posted here, and then had it happen to me.

Learned how to redecorate after Halloween: Just turn all your spooky lanterns and spooky towers around so their faces don't show, and now you just have 'regular' pumpkins. Genius.

TIL that villagers will talk to you about a meteor shower happening. I spoke with Marina this afternoon and she mentioned that the sky was clear enough for her to stargaze. Naturally, I thought this meant there would be a meteor shower later. Got on the game again in the late evening, and lo and behold, there was a meteor shower!

(still no Celeste tho uuuggh OTL )

Today I learned Rodney's birthday is a week from now!

 

[Wickel]

TIL that you can interact with the whirlpool bath! I've had the black one out for MONTHS. I accidentally touched it and the LIGHTS IN IT WENT ON! They're bright pink!

Ahhh that’s what I’m thinking of then probably, thanks!!

Today I learned that villagers actually have conversations about stealing someone’s catchphrase - pango copied phoebes and was so excited about it haha! I don’t think they necessarily all have this conversation that I’ve seen before copying someone’s catchphrase but I hadn’t noticed pango use the catchphrase till after the convo!

Today I learned that if you TT in the past, even for 1 hour the same day, you will lose your turnips, and I am really sad and/or angry (I still don't know) about it !! I always believed it happens only if you TT to the day before...
