does the game let you know you're getting a meteor shower ahead of time?

I think it only happens if you talk to a villager and they make reference to it.

This wallpaper is available for sale from Saharah in my town today. If you would like to come visit my town, please join the discord listed in the OP and go to the New Horizons channel, I've had like 25 people coming and going in town and this is the most efficient way to keep the numbers reasonable so people constantly trying to join doesn't make things totally impossible

Thanks a ton! Even with discord coordination, it's still a bit of a madhouse.

I have to go to bed so unfortunately the tarantula trick just didn't work for me. I followed the instructions but butterflies just kept spawning no matter what.

Tarantulas don't spawn in the southern hemisphere so... maybe that's your problem?

Is there a button I can press to identify an item in the game world? Like if I walk up to a tree with no fruit on it, can I determine what type of tree it is?

edit: Anyone have an island with cherries that wouldn't mind opening up so I can snag some? PM me your code if you don't mind.

You can eat fruit and shovel up the tree to identify it from inventory and replant it without losing anything.

My little bro just got the game. It's nice, cuz we're not going to be able to visit him for awhile due to the whole... ya know... so now we can hang out on each other's islands instead!

I'll need to put together a care package for him with fruit and a vaulting pole and ladder!

Boring or you keep getting bit?

If it's the latter trap one of the spiders with holes pull out your net so it goes into attack mode then enjoy easy picking because as long as one spider is in attack mode the others won't bother you.

Yeah, this is a warning that grinding for bugs in a special zone in an animal crossing game is a slippery slope that will suck all of the chill out of the game. I don't recommend it.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I tried the spider island trick on this spiral island and after about 45 minutes I got 6 tarantulas. It's so tedious that I'm just gonna stop, do Nook Miles as per usual, and if I get spider island naturally I'll take it because drat the effort/reward ratio is not great.

She's visiting me in the southern hemisphere today. It's random for everyone.

I'm having a chill time just catching fish/bugs throughout the day and selling those. It's nice at night even with the 20% penalty because hermit crabs and emperor butterflies are usually somewhat common and sell for a decent amount, and that's not counting any pricy fish.

It's almost 9pm so I'm going to be starting stringfish operation part 2. I have like 40 fish bait on me, here's to hoping I don't waste it in the wrong place.

I know the villagers will eventually cycle lines but man, the wonder of AC and talking to them for the first amount of time never fails to make me smile. I walked up to a villager concentrating with a net and she told me to SHHH SHE WAS GOING TO CATCH THIS BUG. Narrator: she did not catch the bug. But afterwards she told me she would at any cost.

Another villager complimented my shirt and gave me a hat that they said would match it. (it didn't. But I appreciate free stuff!) Can't wait til I have a full town of them walking around.

i just spent two and a half hours trying to catch a freakin blue marlin before getting one. caught 4 coelecanths in the process. had also spent two hours yesterday trying to catch a blue marlin and got 3 tuna and 3 oarfish instead.

i did finally get a blue marlin though. thank god for fish bait because trying to get that drat thing otherwise would be a living nightmare.

I found out the best trick to get rich in Animal Crossing. Be the person hosting when you got turnips selling at 565. Been jam packed all day with discord goons coming in to offload them root veggies. Generous tippers have left me with more bells than I know what to do with!

Was lucky to have post-noon prices and able to leave it all day while working from home. Thanks to everyone who came by and endured the insane waits as 8 people constantly shuffled in and out and thank you especially for all the tips.

If anyone here needs to offload some nips, my stores and gates are open for about another hour and forty five.
