Show HN: Tom Nook's Laptop

You can actually get this as an item in the game and customizing it will give you the option to chose one of those backgrounds.<p>I&#x27;m not sure how you can acquire it by normal&#x2F;elgit means, but if you are able to extract your save file from Animal Crossing New Horizons you can use a save editor (google kwsch&#x2F;NHSE) to add this item to your inventory.<p>ps. Don&#x27;t cheat, it&#x27;s a nice game.

This is why I visit HN, the little side projects like this are simply delightful.<p>This is however not rendering anything but the controls on mobile so I will have to take your word for it.

3 full size USB ports, a USB-C port (could it be Thunderbolt?), a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an SD card reader. All in all, Tom Nook’s laptop appears to have pretty decent connectivity options for a modern laptop, while still remaining relatively thin.

I don&#x27;t play this game, but I have heard of it. Took me way too long to figure out what the discussion was about. It&#x27;s from Animal Crossing game on Nintendo Switch.

Okay, I have to ask - are the app names from the game, or your addition?

Sorry for everyone who couldn&#x27;t open this, I tuned some apache settings and the site should load much faster now!

Is this being served off of a Switch or something? Because it&#x27;s sure not loading for me.

Ooh, it looks like the black MacBook from 2007! Definitely my favorite Apple laptop I&#x27;ve ever used. Less plasticky feeling than the iBook it replaced, more comfortable to use than the metal unibody machines that replaced it.<p>I had the plain old white version and stuck a bunch of blackbook replacement parts on it to make it look kind of like an oreo.

Very nice work! How did you narrow down your search to extract the laptop model specifically, among what must be thousands of 3D assets. I&#x27;d love a breakdown of your process!

So it looks like they use ethernet and SD cards in the Animal Crossing universe too (right hand side) (the middle is probably USB but rectangles aren&#x27;t very diagnostic)<p>And I think there&#x27;s HDMI and a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the left? :P

Weird flex, but OK. :)

It&#x27;s odd that the logo is &quot;PC&quot; instead of the typical Nook leaf which is pretty reminiscent of the Apple logo.

Small space bar, weird enter key. Other than that only thing I&#x27;d really want is a trackpoint.

Is Noom Stonks different from the Turnip Stalkmarket?

Very fun :) ...weird flex, but ok!<p>There’s a slight reflectivity to the laptop. At certain angles I can see a white light reflection but I can’t quite make out if there’s any shape to it.<p>I’m sure it’s nothing, but perhaps you could embed an Easter egg of your own?

What was the process for extracting the file?

Has Mario Broth seen this?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;MarioBrothBlog" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;MarioBrothBlog</a>

I wonder how the Noom Stonks are doing in ACNH?

&gt; So I extracted the model resources for his laptop from the game binary and rendered it here. Weird flex but ok.<p>Best faq ever

Wild that it&#x27;s &quot;noom&quot; and not &quot;nyoom&quot;, tbh.

&quot;Weird flex but okay&quot; I love it!

Can someone write a song about this to the tune of John Brown&#x27;s Body?

Gave me a smile and a quiet chuckle, thanks for this little bit of fun OP.

The app labeled &quot;noom&quot; looks like Skype, not Zoom.

Runs great on my 2017 One Plus, good job!

Can anyone translate the text?

Seems to be broken on Firefox.

Tom Nook&#x27;s Chromebook

hug of death for me, will bookmark and see if it&#x27;s up later

thumb up for doing this.<p>Also, nootube is great. Cat video is going on ;)

Weird flex, but OK.

That spacebar.

Just why?
