Also it was Curlos the ram's birthday last Tuesday and the party in his house was definitely something. The Glee Reaction was a good move to the K.K.Birthday song.

Ha I got the KarenHorse to move out too. The trick is to not talk to them/send them letters. Its rude but eh. She was replaced by a rastafarian looking sheep with a hamburger for a hat.
I hadnt seen Redd at all since the museum got its gallery wing which is weird, he doesnt seem to have a set day he shows up, so I've only the 2 paintings so far. Then on Friday a villager just randomly strolls up and says "hey fren have this gift" and gave me a freaking legit painting!?
I wonder if the game felt sorry for me cos Id missed redd or something.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 10 May 2020 21:50 (three years ago) link
I've been wondering that about Redd - I got one real painting and a fake winged victory statue that I sat outside the museum surrounded by rosebushes and haven't seen him since.

I'm gonna have to keep more of an eye out for his shanty boat up the back of the island I guess - maybe after those first 2 he doesnt come onto land?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 10 May 2020 23:14 (three years ago) link
i've also had no luck finding him lately, and i've been checking the back every day!

Seems it might actually be a known issue, possibly related to tt? But I havent tt - well not strictly speaking anyway. I do sometimes alter the clock but only to "catch up" if I didnt play modt of the prev day - I never go back past already-played time, but maybe that still counts :(
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 10 May 2020 23:18 (three years ago) link
His boat was noted on the map when he was there, so I'm hoping that's always the case. His landing is near my campsite, but I don't usually climb up the cliffs when I'm there.
I've never tried time travel, so maybe/maybe not?
― Jaq, Sunday, 10 May 2020 23:20 (three years ago) link
yeah, i've never time traveled before either
― porlockian solicitor (Karl Malone), Sunday, 10 May 2020 23:22 (three years ago) link
it's like come on redd, i just want to try to buy some of your fake art, come on get over here
BTW there are ways to spot the fakes, its not just random chance! You have to know the artwork in question and look for flaws or missing parts. eg I dunno, Venus di milo has arms, that sorta thing.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 10 May 2020 23:24 (three years ago) link
oh, nice! i've only bought one thing from him (the mona lisa), which was legit

i like the idea of the fake mona lisa, though! "hey, i know EXACTLY why she's smiling! wait a second"

I feel bad for the itinerant merchants when I don't want to buy anything. They come all the way to this remote location and unload all their stuff out of the back of a DAL seaplane, and for what? Idle chitchat and a few nook miles for the effort?

Lil Jurg Frey’s four person object-based noise improv performance in Animal Crossing https://t.co/7G4lczIm8rthis is some “belongs in the MoMA” type shit. would listen to the audio alone & love it, but seeing their actions in the video is 🤯. headphones recommended— Good Willsmith (@GoodWillsmith) May 13, 2020

DON'T EAT FRUIT

or if you do eat fruit: https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch/2020/3/23/21190760/animal-crossing-new-horizons-poop-fruit-buff-toilets

wow you can poop???
― Nhex, Thursday, 14 May 2020 23:25 (three years ago) link
oooh, i see. don't eat fruit, don't smash open the rocks. got it. and you get one fresh rock respawn a day :(
― Nhex, Thursday, 14 May 2020 23:26 (three years ago) link
yeah, I screwed up the rock bit for the first two days
one of the first tips in the game is about eating fruit to smack things, which is incredibly misleading
― mh, Thursday, 14 May 2020 23:30 (three years ago) link
Even if you smash a rock, it will come back the next day somewhere else! but maximize your rock bashing with a flimsy or stone ax or shovel (and no fruit consumption) to get up to 8 things (the most I can ever get is 6). Having a toilet for fruit pooping is my #1 goal right now - I used one on a friend's island after eating 10 apples and the music was hilarious. Her's fell out of a tree.
I had a ridiculously proud moment yesterday when I actually caught a wasp instead of letting it sting the crap out of me.
― Jaq, Thursday, 14 May 2020 23:55 (three years ago) link
Theres a trick to wasp catching. Shake every tree while holding a net, facing the tree (ie facing "north" I guess?). If a waspnest pops out, you'll automatically face the right way when you startle, just hit A when that happens and you'll catch the wasp easily.
Other method (which does not catch the wasp but at least shoos it off) is to pop a popper in its face.
To get the most out of rocks, dig a hole or 2 behind you so oyu dont bounce away. You wanna do this especially in case you get the bell rock of course.
When you dig up that glowy spot? Re-bury the bells in the glowy hole, and you get a bell tree 3 days later.
And one more tip some may not know: when crafting, hit A a few times instead of once, and it speeds the damn thing up.

I've got so many flowers I blow up 3 watering cans/day - if you customize, will they last longer?
― Jaq, Friday, 15 May 2020 01:27 (three years ago) link
The hole digging trick for rock smacking is what I was referring to, it’s probably best to look up a video of someone doing it, you gotta position yourself just right.I usually just book it when wasps attack and get far enough away to pull my net out and nab em, I still get stung sometimes though.

two tricks my kid taught me: holding down the slingshot button so you you can see when the present balloon is in your sights instead of just firing over and over, and tapping down on the joystick to jump to the nook miles you’ve just received instead of scrolling down through all the nook miles and inevitably accidentally scrolling past it
