ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS

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 :(

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?

yeah, i've never time traveled before either

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.

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?

Haha yeah Kicks never has much of what I want, shoes? pft I just buy the doc martin looking things from able sisters.

I buy stuff like crazy, love it when my buds wear gifts I gave them. Antonio can’t get enough of the paisley bandana. Also, designing your own fashion line for the display at Able’s and then seeing your villagers wear your stuff is special

Yeah, I need to do that

i'm still doing the basic infrastructure - i need at least two more inclines and another bridge or two

i'm moving a snail's pace but i'm enjoying it. honestly i wasn't sure i'd still be playing a month or two later, but here i am, every day

yeah the bigger infrastructure stuff is keeping me interested. putting down paths is satisfying

Im regretting where I put the museum cos I want it to have a big forecourt now and I cant movbe the river near it.

this 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

ha, no way! the sister of one of my good friends is in that group!

she wrote the music for her sister's wedding, too - it was amazing

#coolsisters

that video A) is great B) reminds me that I’ve have subconsciously adopted the animal crossing habit of swinging my arms back and forth when standing around in my house

btw they're playing again tonight, at this e-venue:

https://www.twitch.tv/experimental_sound_studio

it's a set with other musicians, but their 30-minute set starts at 11pm EST / 8pm PST, i believe

our friend la lechera played one of the ESS live streams

Shouts out to Lou Mallozzi and Alex Inglizian.

Mallozzi, who runs ESS, was a professor of mine at SAIC.

Thats awesome stuff :D Reminds me of the amazing soundscapes you could make if you had heaps of gyroids. I hope they bring gyroids back I miss them.

got a gold rose. only need a blue rose now

so it's been five days and i'm already at the "what do I do now?" point...i guess I can keep doing those Nook Travel islands...
seems like it's going to take an insane amount of time to get 30 iron nuggets, since i get <1 per day

google how to get the most out of smacking rocks

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???

oooh, i see. don't eat fruit, don't smash open the rocks. got it.
and you get one fresh rock respawn a day :(

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

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.

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 finally got my attic room today (dear god, the final loan is in the millions - I wont have my basement til years end at this rate, and I now recall I never did get a basement in AC new leaf or wild world, sigh).

BF said "that studio is no good, the walls will make too much reverb!

Very cool room, Trayce! Thanks for the tips too.

I've got so many flowers I blow up 3 watering cans/day - if you customize, will they last longer?

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.

love it when it rains - no flower watering !

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

xps you wanna rebury a 10k bag as you get 30k a few days later
i believe that's the max

Anyway, if you’re wondering
• 100-1k🔔 always gets you a tree with 3x 1k🔔
• 2k-9k🔔: 70% chance of 3x 1k🔔, 30% chance of 3x the amount you buried
• 10k-99k🔔: 70% chance of 3x 10k🔔, 30% chance of 3x the amount you buried
• The game decides this the moment you bury the 🔔!

thanking u, based data miner

How do you get a 10k bag, though?

I’m still in first grade over here

The way I know: have between 10 - 20k in your pockets already. Dig up shiny spot. Go to pockets. Go to the bells thing in the lower left and A. It will let you make a 10k bag. Do that and then plant it. Don't put the original shiny spot bells away until after you plant the 10k bag.

ah sweet thanks ||||||||!

i'm pretty sure as long as you have more than 10k bells on you you can always take a 10k sized bag out of it and put it in your pocket, then bury that

nice, thanks! i will give that a shot next time!
