Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Lt.Savior]

Today i learned that if you text chat on phone, you keep you reaction active. And if you play handheld or controller, it stops your reaction. Example: i was visiting someone and we were using the sitting emote. But when i said something in text chat, it forced me out of my sitting position. While my friend kept sitting and texted on and on... Isn't that weird?!

Yep. You can also send messages while the game is loading or you're in the middle of chatting with an NPC. Great way to say your final goodbyes while leaving through the airport.

Today I learned that if you put your Switch to sleep with your player standing in your house, then start the game back up the next day, you can order items from the catalog (assuming you have the app on your Nook phone) and then step out of your house and the stuff will already be waiting for you in your mailbox, because the day doesn't actually turn over until you leave your house!

Don't worry! I spent years in New Leaf thinking I had to mash the A button to fish. So I think of that whenever I see people saying to mash A to speed up crafting.

i literally thought that's how i had to fish in NH until my fiance was like, 'what are you doing?'

Today I learned that you can transfer the money tree saplings! Here I was always not planting them after digging the money spot because it wasn't a good spot for a tree...

I completely forgot that the tail of the Firefly model actually lights up at night, so I didn't know at first why there was a tiny glow near my river.

I have the football fish model and will see tomorrow if it also has light, but knowing Flick, he probably didn't put that feature on a fish.

Update on my last post; football fish doesn't glow.

I love Flick.

I did that too for the longest time - then I visited an island and the girl had a perfectly spaced large grove of money trees... I was like wth? Figured it out right after that.

I'll give NH a point for one thing.

Two days ago was my birthday, and so, I was expecting an underwhelming day akin to ACNL (which I did find a bit novel at the time regardless) where I just blowout the candles and call it a day. To my surprise, there was a pinata - which I found cool. Nothing major but, I like the addition a lot.

I think this goes for any building that doesn't have opening hours. Timmy and Tommy will kick you out if you open the game after having it in sleep mode and are in their shop after they should've closed, and I assume the same is true for the Able Sisters.

I learned that you can't send mail when you have the terraforming hard hat on.

Already existed for a while but only today found out you can put trees on the edges of cliffs with an quick trick.

Do the items you buy count towards that day's limit or the previous day?

I haven't tested but I would assume the previous day?

I just did. It let me.

Do tell please.

 

[JKDOS]

Do tell please.

One moment, please...

 

[TommyTDL]

One moment, please...

Thanks!

TIL the shovel can actually dig up 100 flowers before breaking. All these months I've been thinking it broke after 30 uses, like the bug net and fishing pole. It's nice to know I can do 3 full loads before repairing when I'm cleaning up my flowers.

Hmmm. Maybe there was something funky with my internet that day. All I know is that it refused to let me twice and then I took it off and it went through. Who knows?

Today I noticed that the little display on the cute music player shows pixel hearts scrolling by.
