No Dung

Yesterday, I received a letter from the snowman I built last week. He sent me a snowman bed to keep me cool as I sleep. But I just turned it into some cold hard cash instead.

Of course, the winter snow is gone now, replaced by the green grass of spring. So when Rosie asked me to catch a dung beetle for her, it was completely impossible.

Rosie: Yeah, so, Super J, would you pleeeease catch a dung beetle for me? Pleeeeeeeeeease?
Sorry, Rosie. I would if I could.

Big Top has been sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and today.

Deena asked me to deliver a gift (a lovely carpet) to Willow tonight, and I agreed to help out. Willow is so cute! Especially when she closes her eyes like this!

Willow: Hey, J-dog, thanks for going out of your way to deliver that to me.

When I returned to Deena, she thanked me for making the delivery by giving me 528 bells.

After selling some fruit, I was able to get my bank account balance up to 76 million bells.

Your current balance is 76,000,000 bells.

Later on, I went over to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night concert. I asked for a random song (as usual), and he performed “K.K. Waltz” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Waltz.

A couple days ago, I posted my latest ACCF video: City Folk Moments #32! A little birdie wants you to check it out.

See you next week!

Static’s Back!

I received a letter from Biskit in the mail today. Don’t worry, he didn’t move out. But he’s over the cold that he had last week. To thank me for the medicine, he sent me some bowling pins. I guess my kindness really bowled him over. 🎳

When I checked the bulletin board, I saw confirmation that Willow did indeed win the fishing tournament last week. I knew nobody was going to top her 77-inch tuna.

I spoke with Antonio on a bridge, and he told me that he lost the key to his house. He wanted me to help him look, up his nose! Now that’s one place I’m not going to look!

Antonio: This is a total emergency! All hands on deck! Help me look, up my nose!

I spotted both of today’s snowballs in the big open area west of my fountain. It’s the spot where I held the original Pitfall Pandemonium. But I rolled the snowballs up and made what will probably be my last snowman of winter.

Snowman: I am an ivory idol! A frozen confection! And I owe it all to your skills! You have my eternal gratitude, sir!

The snow will actually be gone by Wednesday, believe it or not. And I’m not sure what day(s) I will play the game next week.

Once I worked my way around town, I found a house in the spot where Antonio originally lived, many years ago. Inside, I was very happy to find another returning former villager: Static!

Static: Say, I know that face... You live in Forest!

Even though it looks like he remembers me based on that last screenshot, I don’t think he really does. He also said it was nice to meet me, and he’s using his default clothes and catchphrase.

But anyway, Static is one of my favorite villagers in the entire series. He lived in Forest before (from 2015-2020), and of course I also have him in my GameCube and New Horizons towns as well. Welcome to Forest, old buddy!

I did a little fishing for Antonio’s key, and I actually found it right next to Antonio. Hey, it practically was right under his nose after all! 😛

I caught a key! ...Whose key is this?

I handed him the key, and he thanked me by giving me a mega harmonoid. I also caught a stringfish moments before (that I wouldn’t have seen if I hadn’t been fishing for his key), so maybe I’ll consider that part of my reward as well. 😛

Later on, I wrapped up my night with a stop at the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Marathon” for me. One of my least favorite songs in the game.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Marathon.

Yesterday, I posted an updated version of my Animal Crossing: Ultimate Quick Comparisons. It takes a look at many aspects of Animal Crossing and sees how they compare against other games in the series. Please check it out!

See you all next week!

Valentine’s Day 2026

Yesterday, I received Camofrog’s goodbye letter in the mail. So long, Camofrog!

Jeff, I've made up my mind to move out of Forest. This place is great, and I'm gonna be sad to leave it, but it's time to move on! Keep your ears clean, kid! -Camofrog

Rosie had the brilliant idea to teach a bitterling to play baseball. She said it would make us rich! 🤑

Rosie: Ohmigosh! I've got a great idea! We should teach a bitterling to play baseball! Isn't that CRAZY?
It’s a great idea! What could be bitter than that?

She was really asking me to catch a bitterling for her, and I agreed to help. Fortunately, it didn’t take me long to find one. When I took it back to her, she was thrilled and she kept going on about how grateful she was!

Rosie: I knew you wouldn't let me down, Super J! That's because you're better than hot cheese on a bun!

However, there was no longer any talk about teaching it baseball and getting rich! Maybe she’s going to teach in baseball in private and not include me. 😛

Biskit was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and again today. Get well soon, doggo!

Biskit: Do you think it would be better to just take some medicine...or candy?

Today is Valentine’s Day, and Rosie sent me a valentine in the mail! I was a bit surprised to see that she is my valentine, but I’m not complaining!

My dearest Jeff, Happy V-Day! I'm sending you my super homemade chocolate! (I hope it's good. I didn't actually try it.) Looove, Rosie

She sent me a chocolate heart, which I wanted to eat. But unfortunately, I can’t eat it in this game. 😛 Thank you anyway, Rosie!

Chip hosted a fishing tournament today, with prizes going to the biggest fish (no specific theme this time). I caught a dab and took it back to Chip. But it only measured 20.3 inches, while Willow had already caught a 77-inch tuna. Yikes!

Chip: Willow caught an impressive 77.2-inch tuna. Yup!

I knew not to even bother fishing any more, because I knew I didn’t have a chance. 😛 Congrats on the win, Willow. (Even though the tourney hadn’t ended yet, nobody’s going to catch her.)

And before I wrapped up my day in Forest, I had to stop in get a Valentine’s Day treat from Brewster…some hot chocolate!

Wait a second... This is hot chocolate!!

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! 💘

As a reminder, Festivale is coming up on Monday! I have Festivale guides for City Folk, New Leaf, and New Horizons if you need a refresher!
