Lots of folks have extra DIY cards and such that I'm sure they'd be happy to give you to help you catch up to where you were. The Discord folks are extremely generous and helpful.

The flickering issue is just busy islands meet bad coding. If the game has to render too many objects at once it starts culling objects out of frame. The correct way to do this is to also check whether the shadow cast by that object is in frame but lol  . Because, you know, Animal Crossing needs a real powerhouse of a system to run at all of 30 fps

I really don't know what's going on with the flickering issue as a aside, I wound up taking down a entire mountain, all the furniture and setpieces, making it completely bare and just having big empty fields and I still had it going on pretty bad. Worst part? My new island has the *cherries* shadow flickering. Not the tree but the fruits themselves. It's not always noticeable but when I catch it I'm just 'ugh... am I really the only one with this problem?' eating only apples posted:Yeah I straight up ran into her on my first visit and got out with profit and a thing from her!

Guess I'm out here running an ironwood shop. If you want me to make any of these items for you then come on over to my island with the needed materials. Edit: Done for the night.
In return, if you could bring me any of the following items so I can touch and catalog them that would be great.

Yeah that's madness. It kicks you out of the menu entirely if you're given a join slot that fills up while it's trying to connect. I don't see how this is doable for anyone without turnip exchange or the discord bot.

You post the code, walk around for a bit, even get some fishing in if you want. "Huh, I wonder if anyone is actually interested." You think to yourself. Then literally all at once DING DONG DING DONG "Oh yeah here it is."

I can, at the very least, reassure you that you're not the only one with the flickering problem. Shame there's no way to start a second island on the same Switch to try and identify the tipping point where it starts to become noticeable

Could the flickering be an early sign of a hardware problem? It seems weird how it crosses certain islands on the same Switch. Ran through the May Day Island yesterday and that was a treat. More like this, please.

Turns out she's gone by noon anyway so It is weird how she leaves fairly early; I set my Switch time back 4 hours because I have a second shift job and I kept missing things like that because I'd wake up after noon. Considering that Tommy and Timmy won't buy anything until after 5 AM Monday, and there's not much to stop time traveling, Daisy Mae might as well be an all-day visitor like all the others.

Opening up my island for a bit. Still very much a work in progress, but it's coming along. Chops is in boxes. If anyone is in the market for a pig dressed like a Musketeer he's all yours. Simon is crafting sauna heaters. He's in the back middle. Leif has azaleas and hydrangeas. Nothing too special in Able's that I noticed. Nook's has a paper tiger and a tambourine. If anyone could bring me a basketball, that'd be great. I just built a court and look like an rear end in a top hat with only a football.

I only just started a few days ago so my island is a mess, but hopefully I can start returning the favor in a week or two!

Ah, dammit, that's my wife's most-wanted villager, and my second-most wanted peppy villager after the flamingo. But of course I have no room. I haven't had a villager ask to leave in over two weeks, by the way. Every time a villager gets the ... over their head, it's to ask if they can also call me Button. Even if they've already asked and I've refused. I genuinely suspect at this point that I can't have villagers ask to leave until all of them are calling me Button.

Jet Jaguar posted:Could the flickering be an early sign of a hardware problem? It seems weird how it crosses certain islands on the same Switch. Not to get all "my uncle works for Nintendo" but as a former game dev what's going on in software is pretty clear: normally one of the optimisations in a 3d game is to avoid sending objects outside of the volume visible to the camera to be rendered. This makes sense because why waste processing power on something that isn't actually going to produce any pixels on screen. What's happening here is that when the object is out of frame and stops being sent to the renderer, the game also stops drawing the shadows generated by that object, even if they still extend into the frame. What's not clear is what causes this object culling to kick in, since it definitely wasn't happening on my island to start with. I suspect it's a very basic heuristic like number of objects on the island, or in the quadrant of the island you're stood in, or something similar. Also, this is stuff that can be pretty deep in the game engine, so I wouldn't pin any hopes on Nintendo fixing it unless the gaming press pick up on it, and even then there's a good chance they just ignore it (see: any criticism of multiplayer)

having it persist onto a new island alongside them having pretty severe pop in issues previously would at least make me personally send the console in honestly (if we werent in a huge lockdown where thats not very possible lol)

I see the flickering happen a lot in areas that are very dense with placed objects, like giant blocks of bugs/fish.

Invite someone who doesn't see any shadow flicker on their island. Stand in a place where flicker is visible to the affected person. If both people see flicker then it's not the console.

Does anyone know if the villager requests where they want a specific type of fish or bug expire overnight? Is there any sort of penalty to not doing it? This bitch on my island wants a goldfish and all I'm getting are frogs and killifish in 2 stacks of bait.
