Hey pilon wanna set a time for me to come over and try catching a giraffe stag? 😬 I only have 24 days left to take advantage of the southern hemisphere window for them, otherwise I'm waitin' until July.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3301 on:** February 04, 2021, 06:20:37 AM »

5pm my time is 1am your time. Best bet is 10pm my time because I'm usually still away for another 45mins-1hr. If I just leave the Switch on it won't time out will it? Happy to leave it on overnight with the island open if so.

FYI I haven't seen one since I caught one. But I've not really been looking.

Tasty · « **Reply #3302 on:** February 04, 2021, 10:38:06 AM »

Damn that's gonna be tough! But yeah sounds like that might be the best bet. I'll try to get on closest to 10pm your time as I can.

I've had mixed results leaving my Switch online for extended periods. Make sure you don't have auto-sleep on I guess.

Thanks man. I. Can. Do. This. 😤

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3303 on:** February 05, 2021, 04:53:31 AM »

I can set it up with no auto sleep on a charger so it should last a while

Tasty · « **Reply #3304 on:** February 05, 2021, 05:04:53 PM »

Thanks man! I'll check this thread every morning, let me know when you open up.

I visited your dream address again tonight to prepare! I forgot about your ice bar, I dig the idea...

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3305 on:** February 05, 2021, 05:30:19 PM »

I need to update my dream actually

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3306 on:** February 06, 2021, 06:02:01 AM »

Just opened my island for the next 45 mins or so. If you jump on I'll leave it open

Hey sorry man, I slept through my alarms this morning, was celebrating a friend's birthday last night. 😬

I'll try hopping on tomorrow if that's OK?

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3308 on:** February 06, 2021, 11:19:05 PM »

Yep. Should be on at the same time

Tasty · « **Reply #3309 on:** February 07, 2021, 09:48:11 AM »

Shit this is a lot harder than I thought, sorry for flaking out and wasting your time so far dude... I won't be able to try until Tuesday.

Appreciate you trying for sure <3

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3310 on:** February 07, 2021, 04:31:13 PM »

Might just leave it open overnight then. Will be easier

Tasty · « **Reply #3311 on:** February 07, 2021, 09:30:22 PM »

I actually need to get up at 7am tomorrow for 100% sure, so I'll try to check even if I might not be able to catch anything in the small time I have...

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3312 on:** February 07, 2021, 11:58:56 PM »

I'll just leave on charge and open when I go to bed anyway, will give you more time to find one

God bless Animal Crossing (and Minecraft). I do not understand it at all, but it has allowed my daughter to continue hanging out with her friends on a daily basis during the pandemic.

Today is the Lunar New Year apparently! According to my villagers today, anyways.

There's three new seasonal items you can only get Feb 10th to the 17th:

Quote

First, this holiday introduces a pair of Lucky Red Envelope and Bokjumeoni Lucky Pouch items in Nook Shopping that can be used to wrap Bells.

When you wrap Bells using one of these two items, the item is converted into either the Lucky Money or Sebaetdon items in your inventory. Then each converted item can be unwrapped to reveal some Bells, ideally for gifting to another player.

Secondly, a gorgeous Lunar New Year Decoration furniture item can be ordered for a wall-mounted decoration to celebrate the holiday.

I'm getting multiple Red Envelopes and Lucky Pouches, but probably only one or two Lunar New Year Decorations.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3315 on:** February 13, 2021, 03:57:18 AM »

I thought it was the 15th? Pretty sure that's what Isabelle said or was on the noticeboard

I'll open my island up tonight from 10pm my time for bug catching. Caught another one last night, you're missing out

One hour update: I forgot spawns are severely decreased in multiplayer for whatever reason.

Basically 1 beetle is spawning every 2-3 minutes lol. I've seen like 10 bugs on palm trees in the last hour.

Tasty · « **Reply #3318 on:** February 13, 2021, 02:05:34 PM »

Three hour update: leaving with like 5x each saw, elephant, etc. stags but no giraffe stag. Even caught a golden stag which is theoretically rarer... Will try again soon. No connection issues the entire time, which surprised me.

Thanks for the opportunity!

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3319 on:** February 13, 2021, 03:52:18 PM »

One every 3 mins is terrible. Does going inside a villager house or the museum reset them? Can leave it on again tonight if you want

Tasty · « **Reply #3320 on:** February 14, 2021, 12:56:48 PM »

Not sure. And thank you! But I'll have to try tomorrow.

Today's haul! 🥰 I think I'm still missing a black bouquet tho. 😬

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3321 on:** February 14, 2021, 09:37:11 PM »

You mean I left it overnight for nothing? Might start invoicing you for power costs. Will open up again tonight.

Even if you're serious I want this fuckin' bug so bad I'd pay it.

Also my plans tomorrow are suddenly less of a sure thing. And I'm annoyed about it and have communicated that annoyance to those responsible for derailing my plans.

I'm just kidding, only concerned about the heat the Switch has in the morning after leaving it on all night. Will fire it up soon and cross my fingers for you.

Mario warp pipes to get around the island coming

Tasty · « **Reply #3327 on:** February 18, 2021, 07:38:01 PM »

Dunno what it is but post-Festivale has been the first time since launch I've been struggling to boot the game up each day (still doing my daily routines though.) Accomplished all early and mid-game goals and now I'm just looking at various grinds until completion.

Pissed me off today for the umpteenth time Redd shows up with 3 fakes and 1 genuine piece that I already have. Nintendo really needs to fix the RNG to guarantee at least 1 new genuine piece of art, because Redd takes 2 weeks to show up and at the current pace it'll take checking in weekly for two more years before the museum is completed (by my calculations.) Ridiculous.

The Mario DLC looks nice especially warp pipes, and we don't know what else could be included, but it's such a paltry amount of content tbh. I'm holding out hope for a big last hurrah for the launch anniversary but I'll probably drop off hardcore after that.

I think I'm at 3. Mine is coming up in March if that helps

Tasty · « **Reply #3334 on:** February 27, 2021, 01:19:01 PM »

Got some inspiration with the seasonal changeover and Ohana Isle has its first new areas in months!

First up, taking a cue from the Able Sisters Cafe I set up last year, the Museum now has an expanded outdoor "overflow" area for both extra genuines as well as some fakes. If you see something you need let me know!

Since the first couple weeks I've been anticipating making a duel arena area, and now it's finally here! Might keep tweaking but really happy with how it turned out.

I needed the stairs from the Lighthouse for the new Museum area, so I decided to just extend a land bridge to the Lighthouse for easy access.

Almost have enough Lily-of-the-valley flowers to fill the entire community garden.

Feel free to check out Ohana Isle at dream address DA-8053-6297-4495!

Tasty · « **Reply #3335 on:** March 02, 2021, 09:44:53 PM »

And with the final two sea-creatures made available by March, the aquatics wing of the Museum is officially complete!

It of course joins the long-finished fossils wing.

1 bug and 24 art pieces remain until total completion.

All you need now is a Giraffe Stag!

Buying all this Mario garbage is tedious. Can only order 5 per day and there's like 40 items

Yup literally takes a whole week.

And come July that giraffe bitch is mine!

2021: Baby sis receives the special edition Animal Crossing: New Horizons edition Switch and digital game, and it's just like old times

Hard to say. I wouldn't wait long.

Some new QoL features and Bunny Day items were announced as coming with the Sanrio content in 1.9.0, some are calling it the "Anniversary Update" since it's hitting on the 18th (two days before the 1-year mark.)

https://animalcrossingworld.com/2021/03/more-custom-design-slots-features-are-finally-coming-to-animal-crossing-new-horizons-march-update/

https://animalcrossingworld.com/2021/03/bunny-day-event-returns-march-26th-to-april-4th-with-new-easter-items-march-update/

- "Custom Design Pro Editor +" from Nook Miles Rewards doubles your custom designs from 50 to 100
- New types of items to use custom designs on: an umbrella, a small flag, a Japanese uchiwa fan, and a photo standee
- "Custom Designs Portal" from Nook Miles Rewards adds the Custom Designs app to your Nook Phone (no longer have to go when Able Sisters are open)
- New items for Bunny Day will be available to buy at Nook's, similar to some past holiday items

Not too exciting tbh, though I'm always pro adding functionality to the Nook Phone.
