@chr @Kilroy@snouts.online It's a recurring enough mechanic that, this. Apollo also warned me about running around town too much, though I haven't seen a trip and fall yet to indicate bad luck.

I've seen 30k as part of the normal prize pack from a balloon without more appearing, so I'm betting luck variable plus RNG.

@mawr @chr As luck would have it, @Veladynee and I have been messing with VRChat with our newly acquired Index kits.

Vela just modded a (vader-san) synth avatar and mentioned that the upload process wasn't too bad. I haven't played with it just yet myself, but Vela mentioned it's using a Unity workflow to bind assets to a prepackaged armature, which doesn't seem too bad.

Also, the gesture system is amaaaazing.

If y'all want to be penpals in the new game (part of the Best Friends feature, lets you write letters to other players), just give me a shout.

I occasionally send goofy things and duplicate fossils or music from the shop, and the connectedness really helps right now.

@anthracite ... I may have said song stuck in my head now, interleaved with its 8-bit version.

@chr Friends have reported catching marlins and tuna too, which I thought would be off-season right now. I like that the rare fish seem to be much more common now.

@chr @frameacloud Also, there will be some kind of tie in item pack for Pocket Camp players? Looks like you'll only have to install the app and sign up once to get it, however.

@chr @frameacloud Adding to this: announced DLC so far will be free. Amiibo support is also expected to exist, but it's going to be limited as it was toward the end of ACNL (it looks like it'll be a photo op area, probably the new Harv's Island).

If Amiibos are ever desired, lmk. I hoarded some of the card packs when they were deeply discounted after Amiibo Festival flopped, and I'm happy to mail them to folks.
