If interested, BBC has a show on the Coelacanth In ACNH it is caught in the sea during rain.

"Blast from the past"

2nd try, We restarted our southern hemisphere island yesterday after setting the clock to December 30 , 2024. We like to get stung the first day for the medicine DIY.

I read about treasure islands many times and yesterday visited one of the free islands by Pange Plays? It was very interesting, looked like it had everything a player would need to get an island to level 5. I think it had 6 free islands with all the raw materials, bells, gold nuggets, star fragments, diys etc . Some things looked like it was better to avoid, such as the bridge construction diy and I avoided the section with creatures. In addition to bells, it had Royal Crowns - 20 will get you 6 million bells at Nooks Cranny. The web page constantly listed who was on each island, along with the current dodo code and a map showing where things were located. The only down side was waiting often as players come and go , and we did get booted when someone left silently. We ended up spending over an hour, looking at various things available on several of the free islands. We live in USA and early morning seemed to be a better time, all 6 free as islands have status updates so you know how busy they are when you visit the website. The free islands are impressive, but there is a paid subscription, about $5 a month for artwork and other harder to get items.

I often read about problems after using treasure islands, but the DIY seemed OK, as well as the items we picked up. Overall not much different than visiting any other island with a giveaway. Well, the island looked different, flat with no sea.

Here is the website, but be careful, you visit at your own risk. I can not say it is safe, it seemed OK to me.

We have been using amiibo cards for two years but recently learned about the newer NFC emulators, we are experimenting with the newest model from joysfusion.com and really like it with ACNH

https://joysfusion.com/codenames/ lists the amiibo characters

It lists all the files as numbers, but you can edit the filenames to list villagers by name. We have not tried to add amiibo .bin files and have not tried using it on other games. Updating requires windows Chrome browser (can be run in a VM ) and Bluetooth 4.0 or more. We did have trouble getting the Bluetooth to pair, but did get it. They use a web page, to pair and edit the files, but you can download the complete webpage from a link on their discord channel, if you want to work offline. It is about $40 US on Amazon, a fraction of what we paid for our amiibo card collection

ON EDIT:

The unit is small and seems fragile, it may not be a good choice for children that are rough with their toys.

I had to restart my island and keep it from progressing because I wanted this video. Last year I did not think of recording it, but this year I was prepared.

I spent about a half hour with Google support,until he told me to remove and reinstall my Google account and I lost the chat. It took a long time to get to that chat, but I think it is a Google problem not Boost.

Originally, I tried using a family group payment to remove the ads, my wife tried but failed to get it to work. We ended up deleting the family group but now whenever I try to pay it gives me a message to wait or ask the group manager to deny the request - problem is the request is history with no way to access it again. Google support was worthless, had me try different devices and resetting things but I tried until I was cut off after clearing my Google account and starting it again. I will gladly pay but unable to pay, all I get is a message telling me to wait 24 hours, even though it has been over 24 hours.

After we deleted the group , my wife had no trouble paying to remove the ads on her tablet, and as I wrote we deleted the family group, it is gone. Maybe if I could purchase Boost for Lemmy before I install it, things will go better. We both have Samsung S6 lites using LineagesOS 20, updated weekly. I do not think it is the tablets, Google support had me try it on my Chromebook and it was the same.

Once again, I think it is a Google family group payment problem, but thought I better mention it.

We are considering replacing our 58" 1080p plasma TV. It has minor to moderate screen burn in from CCTV and hoping the included scrolling program fixes it, but also looking at a new TV. Good upscaling is the most important feature as we still have mostly lower quality videos. Likewise we play ACNH every day so a TV that does good upscaling of the Nintendo Switch is ideal.

If you have any TV recommendations from personal experience, please post it. There is no rush to buy, we are very early in the product research process, and have not yet decided a price range. I did read the budget TV brands do not do a very good job of upscaling. However if ACNH players are using 4K (60 + inch) and happy with their set up, we would like to learn more about it.

Thanks

Joe
