I have no idea what pun is being intended by Daisy Mae. If anyone knows, please tell me because it's driving me mad.

I saw a Reddit thread where people alternatively claimed that it's a reference to Fannie Mae, which seems unlikely as that's a mortgage association rather than anything strictly stock-related, or to May Day 1975, when a change was made to stock brokerages allowing them to sell stocks at variable commission rates.

Both of them feel like a stretch.

I managed to visit Seonaid's island last night which was a nice surprise. When we tried before the game wouldn't let us and we had assumed it was because we were both playing off the same purchase at the same time, but last night it was fine.

So I got my awesome power suit from Mart and I can now give Seonaid the AC Switch I bought her.

You had the AC switch available for purchase? That's rare, if you didn't play on the hardware itself. Can I have one please? :)

When we tried before the game wouldn't let us and we had assumed it was because we were both playing off the same purchase at the same time, but last night it was fine.

As I said, the primary Switch can have any account play games bought on the primary account, while the secondary Switch can only be used by the main account. As long as you're not trying to log into Seonaid's account on both Switches simultaneously, it works fine.

It was in my shop day 1 or 2. I'll order another and send it your way tomorrow.

You can buy it as a gift from the shop and send it to me direct. No need to buy, wait for delivery and then post it. :)

Sorry, did I put an extra zero in there? I must have been detracted by your 1.5 MILLION!

(It does cost something like 37k though)

It's in my shop today but it's bloody expensive. 35k!

I've got a raccoon breathing down my neck for loan payments, ain't got time for novelty games consoles.

Mart I'll open my island in 5 minutes, if you wanna come over and buy the Switch. If it works that way? I don't have the spare cash to buy it for you I'm afraid.

5599f06e028e515664973070f24c5119?s=156&d=identicon

Mr Party Hat

Triple post time!

Am I missing something! I just sold a lot of stuff in the dropbox, but I now have 0 bells. The 'today's total' on the dropbox shows how much I earned from the sale, but my pockets are empty.

Edit: Yeah I've just tested it again, sold some more stuff and I still have 0 bells. I can't earn money any more?

Double edit: Oh you get the cash the next day! Gotcha.

966182e60aa0abcaddf8136a2fb72f79?s=156&d=identicon

Brian Bloodaxe

The dropbox takes your stuff and pays you the next morning. They take 10% or so.

If you sell to T&T in the shop like before you get the money straight away and without paying commission.

5599f06e028e515664973070f24c5119?s=156&d=identicon

Mr Party Hat

Gotcha!

I thought the dropbox was a little miracle when it arrived. It was quick, easy, and actually told you the prices of items individually. I knew the UI was too good to be true for Nintendo. :P

Shit, I missed this. But yes, I'd like to.

If it's in Special Goods in the Nook Stop, I'll have to drop the money for you to collect. I'm not allowed to use your Nook Stop.

5599f06e028e515664973070f24c5119?s=156&d=identicon

Mr Party Hat

It is! And yeah sounds good, I'll do that. I would pick you one up but I have literally 40 bells currently.

I have a meeting now but I'll reopen the island at 2.45pm, if that works for you?

966182e60aa0abcaddf8136a2fb72f79?s=156&d=identicon

Brian Bloodaxe

Glad you got this sorted. I ran into my Island today to harvest and buy one, only to find that my daughter had striped the island bare.

All received, thanks!

36k. It doesn't even make the noise the regular one does.

I have buyer's remorse.

Mr Party Hat

Hahah, no probs.

I like the titles, didn't realise we could edit those. There's an air of Bob Mortimer's train guy about them.

"You are, as always, an esoteric seabass."

F685c54cae853f335494667cd79fcd9a?s=156&d=identicon

martTM

Yeah, the more Nook Miles stuff you complete, the more titles you get. Some of them are just plain odd.

I now live in a server room with a concrete floor. The servers look amazing when you turn out the lights.

I dunno, I thought it kinda looked like a horror movie…

My house is now, in no particular order:

  • A palace
  • A bamboo grove
  • A shrine to Nook Inc.
  • A beehive

No idea what to make the upstairs yet. A lack of matching furniture is starting to annoy.

We need a WhatsApp group

I've only got Brian (and Gar, but I don't think he's playing?) on WhatsApp, but I'm happy to start a group chat and add other people if people want to PM me their mobile numbers.

597d9c79e84b419579e14fc7f1f043f5?s=156&d=identicon

In fact I can invite people via a link, so just PM me if you want in and I'll send that across, no phone number required

If anyone (cough mart cough) happens to have a load of houseplants in their nook catalogue and fancies sending me a bunch, that'd be cool.

Did you come to my island? Can't mail you stuff if we're not Best Friends. Happy to do so!

I'll accept after dinner. Happy to open the gates this evening if you want to visit (though I have no fruit to steal, I sold it all this morning in preparation for tomorrow's turnip massacre).

It's always just a bell effect, but it's playing your town song so maybe changing that will make the tones more enjoyable?

5599f06e028e515664973070f24c5119?s=156&d=identicon

Mr Party Hat

Soooo… I've got a shit load of turnips and a sell price of 45 bells.

Are we going to flag in this thread if our island's sell price goes high?

5599f06e028e515664973070f24c5119?s=156&d=identicon

Mr Party Hat

I was tempted to go down that route, the custom dress designs are much nicer than the guy clothes. 😁

The game opens out quite a lot once you've built the proper Resident Services, doesn't it! Few really nice surprises, speaking as someone who's never played an AC game.

There are, God help us all, forty crafting recipes for the Egg Hell event. I have found fewer than half, but despite the seeming omnipresence of Zipper's leavings in every part of my island, I still – somehow – lacked the eggs to produce the cursed result of those few.

I fear these days will never end.

F685c54cae853f335494667cd79fcd9a?s=156&d=identicon

martTM

I think I'm one of the few not overly bothered by the eggy goodness going in here. But then, I did play Pocket Camp for two years and what's going on here is VERY Pocket Camp.

Shame the cherry blossom stuff is being drowned out by Zipper's bullshit, some of that furniture is really nice.

For some reason I've decided to go after the egg event stuff – and Jesus if you think the eggs were annoying before, try actually looking for the fucking things.

F685c54cae853f335494667cd79fcd9a?s=156&d=identicon

martTM

I've got 37 (!) of the supposed 40 (!!) recipes in this event. If I've done my maths right, you need roughly 35 of each egg to be able to make everything.

This is another element of the event that I think has been badly implemented - the eggs just don't appear at the same rates. Wood and stone eggs are pretty reliable, even if you've got to use a Nook Miles ticket to get more rocks, but water and air are a total crap shoot, while ground and leaf seem very limited.
