My bird friend Robin has flown away; I got her goodbye letter in the mail today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Nookington’s, Tom Nook is selling candy (since Halloween is almost here). It’s nice to see that we’re not limited to one piece per day<\/strong> like we are in New Horizons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I visited Puck, I saw two faces (and two beaks) right next to each other, basically at the same angle, and both looking at me. It’s just one of those small, silly things I found amusing. Or maybe I just need some sleep. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ran into Belle outside, and she was up to her usual tricks. She wanted me to pay over 7k for a manor wall I didn’t need. Naturally, I told her no. Belle <\/em>no!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Belle:
You’re standing right next to me! Why would there be handling charges?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gulliver was washed up on the beach, and I “saved him” by waking him up. He was very grateful, and he gave me a free shogi piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was playing the game with my WaveBird controller, and I think my batteries were getting low. The controls were kinda cutting in and out. So when I spoke with Genji, I accidentally asked him for a favor. He wanted me to get his glasses case back from Emerald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Genji:
I love that he said Emerald’s pad<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So I switched to a regular, wired controller, and then asked Emerald the frog about the case. Fortunately, she gave me the glasses (and didn’t send me on a wild goose chase). I took it back to Genji, and he gave me some stationery. He could totally tell I was disappointed by that reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Genji:
You sarcastic little stationery-giver.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, Robin’s replacement has not moved in yet. I believe that’s because my town had so many weeds, from not playing for 7 weeks. (Having lots of weeds prevents new villagers from moving in as often in this game.) Normally I go about 4-5 weeks between sessions, but my September entry was early in the month, and my October entry is late. But I cleaned up all the weeds I found, so things should get back to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently went through my backlog of gameplay footage and assembled the best clips for a new GameCube Moments video, #16. If you haven’t seen it yet, I hope you’ll give it a watch and enjoy it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
