Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Cloudandshade]

Today I found out that if you stand in this one specific spot in the art gallery, you get a wide angle view of your statues! I knew there were a few of these spots dotted around the museum, but I never noticed this one, and I think it's particularly impressive! Or, I mean, it would be, if I had a more substantial statue collection.

I just learned that flowers grow back after picking them. It took me a year! I always thought you had to have extra flowers to craft the items because I thought you had to dig them up after.

I also learned that if you have roaches in your home you can use the home decoration tool to move furniture to kill the roaches when they are stopped. I mean.....that just blew my mind!

Stone has a special texture when being dug into. Without you posting that I would have never saw this, tysm!

I'm blown away. I've been playing for a year. I didn't know you could dig on the stone paths.

I'm sorry to say that its been patched after 1.9.0 apparently it was a bug that allowed you to do that.

I've been trying to get my smile isle badge. My villagers rarely ask for favors. I learned that if I speak to the villagers three times in a row, one of them will ask you to do something for them. It's kind of tedious talking to each one three times, but it almost always works. Sometimes I luck out and the first or second villager will give me a task. Lately, it's been the last one I speak too.

I learned that you can enter/exit a Warp Pipe from one level up. This means that you can hide a pipe inconspicuously in a hole and not have it stand out or ruin your aesthetics.

I also learned that if you use a fruit-boosted shovel strike to destroy a money rock before hitting it, it drops the 8000 Bell Bag.

There was a post on Reddit a few months ago on how to grind Smile Isle. Basically, you get two requests, each with an individual 1h cooldown, and it might take talking to a villager five times to get their request. I can't be sure how much, if anything, has changed since then, but it's worth a shot.

Skelleton models raise their arms when you ineract with them.

I had a villager ping me and ask to find their lost item, rather than me discovering it and having to track them down. Never had that happen before!

I just now found out that the Switch has a zoom in feature in settings. This makes drawing on the bulletin board sooo much easier! It only took finding an obscure post on reddit mentioning it, what the heck.

Another potentially new feature: I had a villager try to buy something from me and I said no. Instead of saying some variation of "Okay, no problem," they tried again and kind of laid on the guilt ("I guess I'll have to go try to find one for myself, but it's sooo hard") with a new bubble asking me if I'd reconsider or if I was firm. I say no every time to buy requests for a year and I've never seen this second branch of imploring after being told no

The dirt/grass/sand floors will smudge if you run and stop abruptly, as if it were dirt or sand from outside. I did it in Curt’s house on accident and was surprised for some reason!

if you invite an amiibo villager you have to make three items for them three days in a row instead of just being able to ask them to move in.

Sorry just seeing this now.

The option is in System Settings > System > Zoom ON
You can now zoom in-game by double clicking the Home button quickly.

Thank you for the compliment! I'm glad you like them. Definitely going to try out board doodling, though I might look into getting a specific type of stylus for better precision before really getting into it.

So I just learned after not going on Nook Mile Islands for so long that you can actually swim and dive on any island to get sea creatures.

I learned that inviting an Amiibo villager and forcing out another as a result does not reset the timer on a villager asking to move out.

This might the stupidest thing I’ve posted here lol but I had no idea you could run onto the campsite platform when the tent isn’t up There’s no real purpose to it but I was surprised when I accidentally ran onto it!

I had Saharah one day and she was on the campsite platform. I think she was stuck on there, cause every time I ran by, she was still there...

i always noticed that everything got darker when the rain or snow made it wet, but i never realized that holding an umbrella actually keeps your character dry lol
