But that isn\u2019t the case for TV programs in the game, which while different from Animalese, are still difficult to understand by listening to it as is. We\u2019ve known that the speech from the TVs varies by program, but what was actually being said had remained a mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That leads us to YouTuber Komugi Neko who deciphered one of these TV programs. Komugi Neko\u2019s content is focused around easter eggs and small details in the <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> series, and their method for figuring out the speech was to slow it down to 0.5x speed.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"If You Watch TV in ACNH at 0.5x Speed, This Is What They Are Saying\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aAelF18TtzA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In the video above, Komugi Neko deciphers what is being said on the quiz show. If you look at Komugi Neko\u2019s subtitles, it\u2019s clear that the sentences aren\u2019t gibberish, and the content can be followed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It appears to be the final round to decide the champion of the quiz show, with the grand prize being one million bells and a voucher to move to a desert island. There also seems to be a question related to a piece of music being played. Komugi Neko attempted to figure some of what was said during a part of the cooking show as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I (the original author of this article) attempted to decipher another program, but it didn\u2019t go well. Not only is the audio in the TV shows sped up, but it\u2019s also fairly processed, making it hard to accurately hear just by slowing it down. It would likely take quite a long time to be able to comprehend what\u2019s being said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Komugi Neko\u2019s success hinged on noticing that the speech used on the TV programs was sped up Japanese and then continuing to listen until they were able to accurately hear what was being said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even two years after its launch, new discoveries are being made in <em>Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/em>. Maybe longtime players will find even more discoveries to share in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Animal Crossing: New Horizons player has deciphered just what is being said on a TV program featured in the game.
