It's way too hard to leave a tip on your island, leave your friend code somewhere so I can send a gift by post.

I'm definitely not defending it since it sucks but I doubt having dozens trying to enter and leave an island to sell turnips (or raid Mabel) was what they had in mind.

It wasn't until I looked at this screenshot again that I remembered, oh yeah! AC: New Leaf had durians! And several other fruits that I guess aren't in New Horizons at all? How disappointing.

There's a bot on the discord that might make it easier, I think it discloses the code to people in a queue so that we don't all clowncar into it?

Personally I think it might be better to go about super high turnip prices like going 'hey turnips are 420 at my island PM me for a Dodo code' so you can try to limit the number of people you get at once.

I spent like 50 bait before giving up on the Sturgeon today. My wife is playing now and her Nook ticket took her to a flat island with a river mouth leading to a pond. She's spent the last 10-or-so minutes running up and down the river scaring away every fish except for the big shadows that wind up spawning at the river mouth.



e: caught two more while I posted this. She's stalling for nighttime spider island and these are worth more. :getin:

This did it, thanks so much! I didn't realise that you could control fish spawns to this extent on the small islands

Ok, the good news is Mirapoisla is having a meteor shower tonight, and everyone is invited!
The bad news is that my ISP is randomly kicking me off at random times in the day.
If you’d like to try your luck, the code is:

I’ve also left some stacks of free peaches by the airport entrance. Foreign fruit would be really awesome, if you have any you’d like to give.

"Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped."

Given the lack of paintings, conspicuously unused upper floor of the museum, lack of motherfucking Gyroids, and other missing features from past games, it's pretty reasonable to assume that Nintendo will be releasing at least a few content updates in the coming months. It's a pretty solid idea to help maintain long-term player engagement. By the time E3 rolls around, bringing with it the annual "slightly longer Nintendo Direct", a lot of the more casual players will likely be drifting away from AC, and a big update would be perfectly timed to draw them back in.


By the way, is there any particular trick to catching flies? I tossed some trash on the ground, do I have to wait until tomorrow for flies to start spawning, or what?

EDIT:

This is why Tom Nook is doing all of this. He thinks putting an entire ocean between him and the Gyroids is enough to escape them.
