Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

But the correct way has to be with the long O, because it's a play on the nickname for Doberman Pinschers, isn't it? So it would be dough-bee, not dah-bee/dobby. At least, that's what I assumed.

Yes, it's the long O. Short for Doberman, and pronounced like the old sitcom Dobie Gillis.

Saw on ac reddit yesterday that the different variations of the synthesizers all have different sound/tones (Idk the exact term, I'm not musical at all lol).

I never bothered buying or interacting with them, I just catalogued them from friends so I would have never known about this!

i did see something about that and i also assumed that’s how it would’ve been. but apparently multiple people say it as “dobby” so i’m not really sure

@PugLovex I'm pretty sure that most, if not all, of the villager names are puns, references, or other plays on words related to their species or appearance, so if there's a pun answer, I think that has to be the one. There's no joke if it's pronounced "dobby," but there's a Doberman joke if it's "dough-bee." And @Imbri makes a good point that the real name Dobie is pronounced with the long O, like on that old show, Dobie Gillis.

Today I learned that Isabelle can make a maximum of 3 announcements.

On my island, she announced that it's Joey's birthday, that I have a camper and that the fishing tournament is coming. But I also found Flick. So it seems she can't make more than 3 announcements.

Huh. That's weird. I had Flick and she only announced the Winter Fishing Tourney... This happened several times before too. Only announces one thing and completely ignores other visitors...

 

[kiwikenobi]

I'm pretty sure that Isabelle only mentions the daily visitors if nothing else is going on, but I don't know if that's how it works for sure.

Ooh. I didn't know there are varying instances. She has always announced the NPCs for me. (Since the last update.) This is the first time that she doesn't. So I thought it was because she could only make a maximum of 3 announcements.

Today I learnt that gyroids fragments can wash up along your beach.

That was a new feature recently added in a patch update.

[mouthrat]

this doesn’t just go for new horizons, but i only just recently learned that dobie’s name is pronounced “doh-bee” and not “dough-bee”

WHAT

are you serious? i swear, they should've spelt it 'dabi' like the bnha character lmao. but oh my god, that's- no. i don't like that at all-

 

[kiwikenobi]

@mouthrat I think they're probably mistaken about the pronunciation.

You can customize the Festivale Items by going to Harvs island and talking to Reese. You don't need to worry about using rainbow feathers to change the color.

I do not know if this was just crazy luck or what but back in December whenever it would snow the gyroids I got were always atleast 1 Jingloid? Like I would get others but Jingloids were BY FAR ALOT more common. I do not know why though, if so thats great attention to detail!!

I was so happy when I found this out after the update. I use the festivale items often. Now I don’t have to hoard so many rainbow feathers since I change the colors based on the season.

Today I Learned that now when we visit villagers houses, sometimes they’ll ask if there’s anything I like and let me buy it!! This reminds me a bit of the flea market in WW (possibly NL too, I forget??) and I love it so much! When did this even start - with the 2.0 update or after?! Love it!

 

[kayleee]

I haven’t played in a few months, and today someone came over to visit before I had a chance to get rid of the cockroaches in my house - right when the villager got there they commented on the cockroaches and immediately left! So today I learned villagers don’t like cockroaches
