Month: June 2026

When I started up the game today, I received a letter from Big Top, thanking me for the medicine I gave him last week. He sent me a red drum.

I was glad that the letter from Big Top wasn’t a goodbye letter. But I soon found out that another one of my favorites actually was leaving town: Rosie! 🙁

I hate to see her go. She has lived here for just over a year, but it seems shorter than that. So long, Rosie! I hope we meet again!

Big Top’s sickness has now moved on to Willow. I gave her some medicine too.

It was raining in town tonight, and I caught a couple of rainbow stags. I can’t wait for the peak bug-hunting season that starts next Wednesday, so I can catch all the good summer bugs! Woo!

As for my villagers, they had a wide variety of opinions about the rain today. Cube loved having fun splashing around it!

While Sydney has just had enough of the rain already.

Once 8:00 rolled around, I went over to the Roost to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song and he performed “K.K. Etude” for me.

After the show, I ran into Big Top just outside the museum. He said it would be nice for him to have a memento of me. So he asked if he could have my rainbow stag! I didn’t want to give it away for free, but I asked if he’d like to buy it instead. And he really came through: He offered me 14,038 bells for it! You got a deal!

Assuming tonight was my last time playing for the month, I’m ending June with 77,350,000 bells in savings. I haven’t yet set my summer bug-hunting goals for this year, but I’ll be sure to decide on that next week. I’ve also (finally) cleaned up my leftover candy on the ground from Bunny Day. So my town is all ready to start bug hunting!

See you next week! 🪲

On Thursday, I found a new house in town on the western edge of the river (near the waterfall). Inside, I found Pecan the snooty squirrel.

I’m generally not a big fan of snooties, but I’ll give her a chance. Welcome to Forest, Pecan!

Yesterday, Willow asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek with her, Antonio, and Apollo. She gave me ten minutes to find them, but I found them all within six minutes. Two of them were hiding behind sign posts! 😆

Willow rewarded me with a mega fizzoid for winning the game.

Today, the June Bug-Off was held. Unfortunately, I played too late in the day to participate. But Nat informed me that Sydney was the big winner. She caught a 56-point diving beetle. Congrats, Sydney!

Big Top has been sick with a cold this week, so I gave him some medicine Thursday, Friday, and today. He tried to trick himself into thinking the medicine tasted good. 😆 Get well soon, B.T.!

I went over to the Roost to catch out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show, and he performed “Mr. K.K.” for me. But my screenshot caught him mid-blink with his eyes closed. 😛

After the show, I stopped into Pecan’s house for a visit. So I got to see the interior of her house now that she has unpacked. The place looks nice, but it’s kind of irking me to see a toaster just sitting on the floor (with toast in it). 😆

I posted a gameplay video of yesterday’s full session, so check it out if you’d like. I was running into a number of old friends in the city, so it was nice to see them all!

I received Tiffany’s goodbye letter in the mail this afternoon. No tears were shed.

Scoot asked me to make a delivery to Sydney, and he said it had to be done by 3:00 p.m. Unfortunately, I missed her house on my walk around town. But I still remembered before 3:00, so I ran to her house and gave her the gift (a ceramic tile).

She very clearly had it in her hands as the hourly chime signaled 3:00. In fact, it had been in her hands for a full four seconds! (I’ll include this in a future video to prove it!) But when I returned to Scoot, he acted like I didn’t deliver it on time!

Not only was he rude about it, but he didn’t give me a reward! So I gave him a few whacks with my net.

Anyway, I played again later tonight to check out K.K. Slider’s show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed “Cafe K.K.” for me. While it’s never necessarily been one of my favorites, is it starting to feel a bit nostalgic to me. It’s not a bad tune.

Willow lost her key and she was locked out, so I helped out by finding her key in the river.

When I took it back to her, she rewarded me with a doghouse. I wonder if that was her backup plan if she couldn’t get back in? Just sleep in the doghouse instead. 😆

I did a bit of a practice run for my summer bug hunt nights. But tonight, I was mainly just looking for sharks as I went back and forth along the shore. I never did find one, but I did catch a few emperor butterflies. Just a bit more than two weeks until the real bug hunt begins!
