Just a warning; I find oled to be a huge eye strain. I unfortunately found out after getting an expensive, fancy TV and giving my old one away. I actually have to wear blue blockers now even with the TV at its dimmest settings. It really sucks. And I'm not about to throw down more money to replace my new TV. So make sure that you're ok staring at an oled screen for a few hours at a time before burning money on a new oled device.

Ohhhhh. Thanks for the warning! I do have some eye issues, so I'll need to look into that. Not sure how, I don't think I know anyone with an oled TV, but I've got plenty of time to figure it out.

And yeah, best way for night bugs is a Nook island. Bamboo is the easiest, bugs don't spawn on it and there are no rivers or cliffs to make it annoying to navigate and no water to spawn non-tree-beetle bugs. Pick the flowers and just walk in loops scaring away wharf roaches and earth boring beetles. I still need a scarab, a cyclommatus and a hercules.

I need a scarab and an ant. I don't know how I've been playing for a year and never seem to get ants, even with a rotting turnip.

They need space since they don't spawn on turnips directly, but form a short line from their ant hill to the turnip.

If you don’t have space on your land, it also works on sand! Put it on the beach.

For myself, it took a bit of TT but I finally managed to craft every single DIY in the game. It doesn’t count for anything but personal glory but I’m pretty happy. I’ve almost got all the clothes too, and then all I will have left is furniture. It’s keeping me going on this game but not intensively.

I'd love to see a lot of the interactive campsite stuff the mobile game had. They'd read, or climb on a jungle gym, play instruments beyond a single note, etc. It's a real bummer that all they pretty much do in ACNH is fish or sit.

Hard agree. I want the mobile game's variety without the gotcha. I expected that. Not to say I don't enjoy and love the game but we know what it could be.

I think the limited items that are now in the Nook shopping app were the last of the additions from the most recent patch. They might do an update at the end of the month to maybe add a little something to the future reworks event and some more seasonal shopping app stuff. Who knows if or when they will update with actual new events or features. There’s stuff that was data mined forever ago that never materialized.

I never did get to use the cooler furniture in the mobile game because they were stingy as hell with the free tickets and combine that with the standard gacha chances RIP

Makes sense the Nooks were behind the leaf tickets and the gacha equivalent cookies.

I remember the gacha not being too bad at the start, you could pretty much get everything in the game just through playing. Then they added the monthly events which were a grind but doable. Then the fortune cookies came around and you weren't completing sets unless you spent $80-90 per month or got real lucky with RNG. It got real predatory real fast.

I dunno man, maybe your villagers are just boring? Mine sing, dance, water flowers, read, eat, drink, fall asleep, stalk bugs, have mad fits of the zoomies, examine poo poo with magnifying glasses, have utterly baffling conversations with each other, do yoga, lift weights...

Following on from this, I got a fly once and have never been able to get one again since. I can’t even remember how I got the one I got in the first place. I want to get 3 to get the Flick model but how the hell do I even get them again?

Leave trash (the kind you fish out of the water) lying around. I've had the best luck with cans and old boots, I think they do spawn on tires too though.

I am absolutely convinced that Golden Stags and Ranchu Goldfish are not actually in the game and are just a prank to slowly kill us all. :suicide:

- go to Bamboo Nook Island
- bring a sharp ax and maybe some whole coconut trees from your island
- chop all those bamboo MFers down and dig up the stalks
- note digging up stalks is extra important so they can’t spawn bugs
- pick up all weeds and destroy all flowers and rocks
- did I mention I love scorched earth policies
- once island is razed, plant coconut trees if you got them
- enjoy going around the coconut trees which are just far enough apart to allow for respawns when crossing the island

It took me an hour but this was the most efficient way I could get the stupid golden stag.

I should try that. I still am missing a lot of beetles I think.

Bones is my permanent Lazy resident. There's something about the blank vacancy of his eyes and his delight in everything that makes him the doggiest dog. I gave him a tiny pair of glasses ages ago and he likes to wear them around town with a wizard hat. I imagine he thinks he looks very clever.
