It was raining today so I brought some bait to the pier to try to knock out a few fish. Got both a Coelacanth and a Mahi Mahi with about 25 bait! Good day.

Coelacanths can only be caught in the rain. Some rare fish are more common in the rain as well - barreleyes and most sharks are confirmed, it's possible others too.

...Hm, I may have a problem here. Today's rock did not spawn. I highly doubt I've actually managed to spawnproof the entire island but maybe I have, in which case apparently none of my four remaining spaces are valid.

After much consulting of the internets I've moved some tall furniture further away or taken it out entirely. It's also possible one of the four spots is too close to a bridge, I'll have to wait and see on that one. Hopefully this fixes it tomorrow.

Lucky, if I'd known you were going to give Lily a baby romper, I wouldn't have bothered trying to save snack time for you. :argh:

It feels like it's been a month since Isabelle has had any news for me. :sigh: (I'm not counting the start of the musuem stamp rally tomorrow, since that's for everyone. :colbert:)

Also, is there any point to collecting Nooklink points once you have all the items other than saving them up for the future?

Does anyone know how the Nook Miles achievement for selling turnips works? Like, if you sell your nips at a loss, does that detract from the total? Or does it just count the raw total of bells you get for selling them?

yes it based on net profit - it's possible to go backwards on the achievement if you sell at a loss.

I'm opening the gates to my island because why not! I have a crap ton of DIYs and some odds and ends items to the left of the airport and also a pile of stuff on the ground near my house that you can all take (oh god please take stuff). It's also Pekoe's birthday and Kicks is here selling some odds and ends. It's too early for my shops to be open so I have no idea whats in them.

Feel free to pick fruit, there are gold roses next to my house if anyone needs to pick some it's ok by me.

Code is in that other thread.

Thanks, I learned a bunch of new recipes, took a muscle suit, and one golden rose. I can't plant that though, right? I'd need to dig one out I think. I don't know if it does anything but I gave Pekoe a present.

Ok now for mine: Turnips are going for 430 bells right now, and my console is on Alaska time. That seems like it could be good.
The bug guy is wandering around, and I couldn't figure out how to trap him, and I gotta go. Last I saw he was in the Southeast near the museum.
My island is a mess cause I'm just a casual player. Take anything you want, flowers, fruit, excess recipes, I don't really care.

Also, how do you get the giant insect statues? Or are some of them just bigger? I just commissioned a flea statue, cause IDK, seemed funny.

Some bugs are just big when you get statues of them made by Flick (mostly things like the atlas moth and certain butterflies) but more are not that big.

The really giant ones are the Atlas Moth, Banded Dragonfly and Queen Alexandra's Birdwing, they're 2x2.

There are a few 2x1 as well - Giraffe Stag, Goliath Beetle, Horned Hercules.

All the others are 1x1.

I'm pretty underwhelmed with the Museum Day event. I missed it last year so this was my first time with it. I knew it wasn't very involved, just interacting with things to get a stamp, but I'm still a bit disappointed - the flavour text is kind of pathetic. I dunno, it just feels like they could have done a little bit more with it. And I don't know why it runs for two weeks, there's no incentive to repeat it just for 10k bells from selling the extra plaques. I can get that from two balloons just walking around. If the stamp stations gave trivia and that changed every day that would be enough for me to do it.

On the plus side, third rock in place, I'm cautiously optimistic that my fiddling has worked.

Have they been tweaking the rate of desirable villagers showing up in campsites? Because my luck has been phenomenal lately. Just recently I've had Rosie and Marshal, various other good ones I passed on, and today I have Raymond. Almost no dopes or uggos for months now.

Gonna pass on Raymond, though. The perils of being spoiled for choice.

Let me tell you a story from months ago:

Poo In An Alleyway posted:

I just had the most wholesome experience with a player from the ACNH subreddit who came to collect Vivian before she went to the Void.

I advertised Vivian about an hour ago on the subreddit’s Discord as free-to-take, and this person messaged me frantically offering money and gold nuggets and NMTs for her. She was basically panicking in text form, furiously writing in caps lock, spelling mistakes included, so I reassured her that she was the first person to contact me about taking Vivian off my hands. This woman was practically crying; she came over, dressed as Vivian, dropped 15,000 Bells and 2 gold nuggets at my feet and ran the gently caress over to Vivian’s house to adopt her, but not before sending me fan art on Discord that she had done of Vivian.



This was such a super wholesome evening and I’m gonna lay down and cry now due to overwhelming cuteness.

The fact that I had this wholesome experience in a video game still makes me so happy :blessed:

Yeah, I've got a few spots like that. Though weirdly the worst area doesn't have that many items in it? And there are busier, fuller areas that don't chug. So I don't know what causes it.

In other news, turnip prices on my Island are on a Decreasing trend; they've dropped from 107 on Sunday down to currently 65, and show no signs of going back up according to at least two different turnip calculators. :sigh:

Also, Cousin Redd's here today with three fake (Moving Painting, Quaint Painting, Robust Statue) and one genuine (Ancient Statue) art pieces. Also, smokers and flamingos for your lawn, if you're into that. If anyone's interested, lemme know and I'll toss you a Dodo code (I don't want any of the fakes, and I've already got both a real and fake Ancient Statue).

Thanks to an amazing person I now have a complete art gallery and don't have to deal with Cousin Redd ever again, and whenever he shows up I can let other people be horribly let down by him instead.
