I'm at my wits end here, and hoping that complaining on the Internet will change my luck. I have I think four hours to catch a char this year.

That is where I'm supposed to stand, right? I've thrown north of 60 bait into this spot and haven't seen one ever. My last catch was a cherry salmon, so I think this counts as "river (clifftop)."

Crafted a mess of those things, placed them alongside my western beach, and managed to get the missing five recipes in about two hours, with the last three balloons each having a mush recipe!

Wait, what does having a barrier do? Do the balloons get stuck on it?

Yeah, the balloons will stop at the barrier, then drift downwards until it's clear to move east/west again. I placed jail bars along the beach/grass edge from the rocks to the north all the way to near the south beach, then waited for the five-minute mark. I'd just leave the Switch in handheld mode with the sound cranked up (in order to hear the "woosh" noise of the balloons), and shoot them down as they drifted southwards.

Balloons won’t pass over certain furniture like jail bars and climbing walls, they’ll drift south instead. If you put down enough you can guarantee that all balloons will pass a specific point, where you can just sit and listen for the whooshing noises.

That said, I preferred simply setting a 5 minute interval timer to go off at every x:x0 and x:x5, which is when the balloons will hit the beach. Then I just did a quick check up and down the beach to see if one spawned that time and didn’t have to listen to the game.

Celeste and Sahara are here on Dozin', last seen by the museum and eastern beach, respectively. Shooting stars are active.

Dodo Code: CVQPM Closed! Thanks for stopping by!

There's some DIY recipes round the lil' park, and Nook's/the Able Sisters have some alright stuff, I don't need anything in the shops so grab whatever you want.

It's a stretch, but if anybody has the Scorpio lamp, or better yet, the recipe, I'd appreciate it. I'll be chilling in the park by the DIYs probably, but if not just holler at me should you need anything.

I vaguely recall from NL that you could roll snowballs over flowers, they just wouldn't grow -- only on cleared land -- and I assume the same holds up here.

All right, cleared out a nice big open space (now watch as snow rolls around and all the snowballs spawn as far away as possible) and also done a lot of general tidying up of flowers and trees. And bought some fantastic ugly Christmas sweaters.

Tomorrow will probably mostly be a fishing day. And you never know, that bastard Redd might finally show up again :argh:

Celeste has landed on Fiorina once again! She’s penned into Prince’s garden (I don’t know why she won’t stay still tonight...).

Shops are all closed but I’ve left the Christmas jumpers and dresses out for touching in the soon-to-be Snowboy-filled empty void to the right of the airport! I’ll be AFK for the night so ping me if anything goes fucky.

Drawings always appreciated, and take a poster of Pinky as a gift!

Shep just ran up to me to ask if I'd showered today because I smell amazing.

This is exactly how I imagine big dogs would act if they were sentient and could speak English.

I didn't plan on collecting particular species among my villagers but I think there's a reason five of the ten are canines of some sort. I love my idiot goofballs.

It's a huge PITA with my phone. Scan QR code, connect to the Switch, enter a password, scan QR code again, then save photo/s. I think it's faster to tweet the photo/s, save the photo/s, then delete the tweet if I want, which is what I've been doing this entire time.

I'm what the kids call: a big nerd
Does anyone know if the "pretend to buy something from nooks/donate to blathers to force balloon spawns" is an actual thing, or is it just a dumb rumor, like the "clap for the Dodos to get better mystery islands" thing was?

I ask because it's extremely annoying to do, but I also want fast spawns.

It is a big pain in the rear end via phone, but you know what it is useful for? Transferring stuff directly to your computer with a USB cable.

I was able to transfer 2,200+ screenshots off my switch this morning, without making a single tweet :v:

If you mean running into a building to reset the balloon spawns, it's supposedly been debunked, but anecdotally, it honestly seems to have some minor effect. Another goon spreadsheeted his experience with doing it vs not, and it seemed to help him as well.
