Animal Crossing: New Horizons |OT| Self-isolating on a deserted island

Am I guaranteed a meteor shower if Celeste shows up? Isabelle didn't say anything this morning. The guide seems to believe I am due a meteor shower.

a light one really late in the night might be a thing when she is around. Isabelle only says something when there is a heavy shower meaning it starts early around 7 and keeps going until 3am or so.

light ones I find start around 10pm to 3am

Celeste should be around on clear sky nights, she is hard to chase down for me I need more of her DIYs

Thank you. Looks as if it'll be a light one. Don't think I've actually had a "proper" meteor shower yet. I'd be surprised if I've missed it. I've sunk 300 hours into this now :messenger_grinning_sweat:
 
Ugh. I just noticed that the guide has apparently been pushed back to 5/29 here in the US? I just went to Amazon to check to see if it had shipped (since I hadn't gotten a notification) and now I see Gamestop and BestBuy are both showing a 5/29 release date. :messenger_sad_relieved:

no wonder still waiting on Amazon to ship mine

They always come when I am super busy with something else, but then I hear the noise in the sky and tempted to wish :( plus you have to invest a lot of time picking them up on the beach all day the next day. Not as fun as I hoped lol

Just been sat here waiting for the shower, the wait between them is tedious to say the least!

At least I have managed to get about 20 or so stars so far.

yeah during the light shower you could be waiting 20-40 minutes between waves be sure to get your Nook Miles Achievements out of the way for wishing. That way if you never want to do this again you'll have that out of the way

thanks for being a good sport, I like science experiments and facts

test them out for at least 7 days or more if they are not spawning anything
but they should spawn white and reds a few time just remove those and sell them don't use those

just keep the 2 roses watered each day you time travel and your other test roses too let us know what you get in 7 or whatever day it is you get results.

Ok the experiment has born fruits already after just 6 days of going to a rainy day to water them and then going to the day after the "special" dna reds you gave me popped up a blue so either i was just super blessed by the RNG gods or there is indeed a lot into these DNA special hybrids but the about 5 more days of using rainy days to water it and another blue popped up i don't know if the 2nd one was because it was breeding with one of the reds so it increased the chances but im sat here with now 2 on the donated roses and jack shit in my 5x5 leave it to do it's own thing grid so i'm happy to concede that there has to be something in these special reds as seeing the amount of effort you had put in to make them bloom there's no way i was just randomly that lucky. And thankyou now i have 2 blues as a thankyou i have a couple of spare purple pansys that you can have to save you trying to crossbreed them if you want me to pop over and plant them in your town so you can move them to breed just let me know.

Pic evidence time.

I know the guide says one thing, but that is just the surface info, the deep dive is the datamined stuff. The datamine community already said they found that the flowers where coded with real flower genetics there is a whole google text spreadsheet about the special genes needed linked on Reddit about it very detailed and complex stuff. Much more complex than the 9 steps I took. But glad the experiment went well. Yes that is the exact 5x5 grid I had for about 80 days of time travel RNG never gave me my blues :(

As for getting a second blue, that is what the reds do. I have a whole mess of blues simply from Time Travelling day to day watering them. Rain does not always make it faster for me. Because when it rains every flower on the island is waters they all now are part of the RNG. Remember even the special reds I gave you have an RNG of 1 of 4 chances.

I find the special reds give me blues at about the same rate as putting 2 blues next to each other or a blue alone in the rain. They both make more blues. I have a whole flower bed of them now but still want a field of them.


Yeah purple pansys is not something I want to grind for I did not looking into if there are special hybrid shortcuts for them not really a flower in wanted that much.

did you get the Rosetta Stone I sent you in the mail?
 
My daughters and I shamed Mott into packing his things. Now that it's come to it, I just feel guilty.

this game has a strange way of making you feel guilty or dirty for trying to get rid of a villager or deleting their village

very heartbreaking at times. I remember just wanting to start over my game on the DS because I did not like the way my face looked and found a guide to get the right face and before you can delete your file you had to face this little cute villager looking all said that you are about to delete her town. Made you feel evil.

not sure how long one can lasts for before it craps out so could i ask for 4 watering cans i'll send 5 gold nuggets and you can keep one for helping. btw if you need a rocket crafting i have the recipe to make it, i can craft you one so you can make a robot hero if you like.

the rockets need 10 star fragments to make and 10 iron i don't mind using up my iron stash but if you could refund us back the star fragments i'd be grateful i'll get a rocket crafted and mail it to you. I have mailed you the golds already.
 
wait I can only send 2 letters to Jason per day or is it a mailbox full thing?

Damn Dodo limits

No you can't move Biskit! None of you can move until I say so!

it's a game limitation i have no idea why nintendo only wants to let you send 2 letters a day to each person but thankfully time travelling gets around that annoyance. I'm still on the lookout for those 2 missing statues for you i did get the giant hed but it was the fake smirking version but it has appeared in my redds and been genuine before so hopefully it'll come back.

How many little systems and mechanics are tucked into this game?!? :messenger_fearful:

Hey I have ankha from that list. Her house is cool as shit and she says “me meow” all the time. She’s sooooooooooo cute.

Also damit at that turnip price dude. I didn’t see until it was too late. I would have offloaded my 100k worth of them. This is the first time I’ve gone really hard on them so I can payoff a couple loans if I hit it big. I’m not about to go though the greedy assholes that want like half my profits as tips on that turnip site, so I will continue to look for 200 plus prices.

Hell it’s the only reason I bring my switch to work now is to get in on the 8am - noon price if I get a massive jump.
 
it is just the popularity list but I think the list is also based on people's experiences with these villagers so they tend to be good villagers to have around

Update:
Ok I found a nice site that explains what I can get. If anyone has an extra shell arch recipe LMK I'll gladly take it off your hand just name your price.

Hey everyone I'm looking for some arch items for a flower garden I'm trying to create on my island. The only two I own are the stone arch and the one from the Bunny Day event. They are 3.0x1.0 in size The stone arch is OK but looks rough for a garden. The Bunny day is nice but out of season and a tad silly to have for such a thing. :messenger_tears_of_joy: I'm curious of what other arch ways exist if any so I can be on the lookout for them.

Question. How do you get the recipe for the rope fence? I assumed it was in resident services like the all the others, but I still haven't seen it (having checked every day). Is it rarer than others, or is it not available without trading?

Rope fence can show up in the Kiosk machine where you can spend Nook Miles to get one. Most of all fencing ends up there and it changes everyday. It has shown up in mine if I spot one I can grab one for you.

Thanks. That's what I thought, but I have not yet seen it and have been checking the kiosk every day. I've seen every other fence multiple times, not just this one.
 
Yo discord trading is legit. I asked and within minutes got the arch way I was looking for. Traded a Sandy beach flooring for one.

I can only imagine I would be done with this game already if I used that service

right now still a slave to RNG saved by a few GAF trades and friendly gifts

Is that his last name? I know he is not a NOOK that is for sure. He is also NOT MY COUSIN!

Red Forman is the father on the hilarious sitcom "That 70's Show." He is nothing like Redd, the illegitimate arts dealer who appears at frustratingly random intervals in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. If Red Forman were in Animal Crossing, he would crinkle his enormous forehead and call you "dumbass" every time you bought a fake piece of art and laugh at your impotent stupidity.

I know of the show but never cared to watch much of it. Redd Foxx at least has the proper spelling of Redd.

John Elroy Sanford, better known by his stage name Redd Foxx, was an American stand-up comedian and actor best known for his portrayal of Fred G. Sanford on the hit television show Sanford and Son. Foxx gained success with his raunchy nightclub acts during the 1950s and 1960s.

I know who Redd is since this is not my first AC game been playing since the beginning of the series does not mean I am less pissed at his fake ass art. Redd always reminded me of Redd Foxx but I am older than most of the people who like That 70s Show

Well the link under the video says fan-made :messenger_winking:

But yeah I wish it was real. Soo much good QOL stuff in there that should be in the game :messenger_anguished:
