I went on a bug hunt last night, and I stopped to snap this photo of a balloon present flying in the background.
Moments later, I tracked it down and shot it out of the sky. I found a clothes closet inside.
There is a tricky spot on my peninsula where I only have about a 50% success rate of catching bugs (as you may know if you’ve watched my bug hunt videos). This time, a golden stag got away…which was painful. But it looked pretty cool when I saw this particular frame in my video:
I made about 125k in last night’s bug hunt.
I played again tonight, and Peaches told me she was already thinking about moving away!
I told her to stay, but I didn’t convince her at first. But later in the session, I did manage to change her mind.
Pecan approached me and gave me a free burglar’s shirt!
She was clearly dumping some evidence off on me. 😛 I don’t know whose house, shop, or bird feeder she robbed, but I promptly sold the shirt before Copper or Booker could spot me with it. 😛
One of my residents was sick with a cold, so I handed over some medicine. But from this screenshot, it may not be apparent which villager it is. Can you tell? WHO’S. THAT. POKEMON. VILLAGER?
Of course, it’s easier if you already know who my villagers are. For those who don’t know, I’ll tell you the answer: It’s a cat. To be specific, it’s… Felicity. Hopefully she’ll start to feel better soon.
After making my rounds, I went on another bug hunt tonight. One notable thing that happened is that I went 3-for-3 with scorpions! One of them was just luck though, because I wouldn’t have seen it if not for a tree disappearing when I caught a different bug. Also, all three of them were in the same haul (my next-to-last haul of the night).
I didn’t see any tarantulas or shark fins for the entire session. But I did bring in 260k tonight, and I think it’s safe to say I’m back on-track now. I’m again on a pace to meet (or slightly beat) my summer goal. But if I want to significantly exceed it, I’ll have to end August on a tear…and I may just do that, particularly in the last week of the month. We’ll see how it goes!
I still haven’t participated in any of the fireworks festivals yet, but I’ll try to remedy that soon. 🙂 See you next week!
