the follow the leader system is for local multiplayer where you have one screen. online you can just do whatever on the other players islands, you can't change/destroy/steal their stuff though

one thing i was surprised by: tonight my partner joined my island. i thought she'd see my avatar walking around, but i'm gone! is that normal, or is that just because it's the first night for both of us? it was just kind of weird, like...why would be my tent and possessions be there, but my character is absent from the island?

Man oh man is the online visitor system in Animal Crossing disruptive. 8 slots and each time someone either enters or exits everyone on the host island comes to a complete stop for like 35-90 seconds. Just spent 10 minutes trying to get off a friend’s popular island!— joemag 🍊 (@joemag_games) March 22, 2020

so you can only visit while friends are online? how do you keep the airport open for people to come by when you aren't playing?

the whole game takes place in the pre-object permanence stage of development, i guess

U guys know you can avoid the wasps if yr quick rite - run (walk and spam b) to the nearest doorway and go inside!
And yeah as far as I can tell going onto other ppls islands only works if you open your gates while playing. Oh! and you have to have a paid Nintendo account too, as me and Nick found out yesterday (luckily I'd already just done a family plan cos of Minecraft).

My game playing time is quite limited as I have a six month old to look after (plus lockdown, etc) - it’s quite likely I’ll only find time to play once every few days or once a week. Does that mean I’ll miss things as time passes by or will it still worl&/

there's not really missable things i don't think, if you miss something one day it can happen on a later day instead

hey IIIIIIII, i haven't tried out the AC patterns thing yet, but do i need to unlock something within New Horizons first? from the FAQ:
How do I use this thing?Click a color on the 3x5 palette and then just "draw" on one of the pattern representations. All of the zoom levels are drawable and they will all update at the same time. When you want to import to ACNL, simply scan the QR code at the bottom using the QR machine at the Able Sisters in-game. Don't have the QR machine yet? Talk to the quiet sister in the back for 10 days in a row to unlock it. The download ACNL file button lets you save the pattern to your computer for later use. You can also upload ACNL files or images containing QR codes. Not all images will always scan correctly since QR code reading is somewhat of an iffy thing, but we're always working on improving accuracy.

the faq is discussing New Leaf, so i'm guessing there's a newer process. sorry, noob questions here
― Karl Malone, Monday, 23 March 2020 15:03 (four years ago) link
oh shit, duh!
An Animal Crossing pattern tool called ACPatterns.com, created by designers Thulinma, DamSenViet and Myumi, lets you convert any image into Animal Crossing itself via the magic of a QR code (you then use the official companion app to scan QR codes into the game).
sorry, forgot to read the damn manual. cool! i don't even have that app yet!

there's way too many instances where the fish grabs the lure right away and then bloops, or something else in the house distracts me for just long enough to screw everything up. silby otm

i was really confused about fishing at first, but i think i figured out the secret (?)
