Valentine’s Day 2020

On Tuesday, Pascal was in town, standing on the bridge towards the museum. I found a scallop for him, and he gave me a ship cannon in return. I then snapped this picture as he was starting to backflip into the river.

I was looking for a picture of my town map, after someone in a Youtube comment wondered if we had the same layout. But I couldn’t seem to find a map pic posted on this blog. Maybe I missed one somewhere, but I decided to take a new picture regardless. This is Forest’s layout:

I know it’s kind of a zig-zaggy layout, but it’s home. 😛

Today (Friday) is Valentine’s Day. I received a valentine from Kitty, of all people! This is the 2nd year in a row that Kitty was my valentine (ugh). Why couldn’t it be Goldie? Well at least Kitty sent me a chocolate heart.

To Jeff: Happy Valentine's Day! Do you like chocolate? I hope so, since that's what I'm supposed to send to show that I've got heart! -Kitty

Up at the Roost, I stopped in for my annual cup of hot chocolate. Brewster also wished me a happy Valentine’s Day.

Brewster: ...Happy Valentine's Day.

Even though Kitty is my valentine and Brewster gave me hot cocoa, it was Tiffany that gave me the sweetest gift of all: She’s leaving town!

Tiffany: Yes, I'm thinking it might be time to leave this town, bunbun.

I recently posted a video (jokingly) showing what happens underwater in Animal Crossing games. While it isn’t just about City Folk, the first clip does show some ACCF footage. It’s a short video (under two minutes), and the response has been very positive, so I hope you’ll give it a quick watch. 🙂

I hope you all are having a good Valentine’s Day, and a good weekend. See you next time! I plan on posting another City Folk Moments video by early next week, so stay tuned!

Pit Path Prep

On Thursday, Punchy was still sick. So I gave him some more medicine.

Punchy takes his medicine.

Using some information I learned last week, I set things up for my pitfall plan. I set a trap, which collected four villagers with almost no effort on my part (other than digging a few holes). Although the trap basically reset when I ventured too far from that area, I returned and re-trapped three villagers pretty quickly.

I dug holes, buried pitfalls along a path, and released my victims.

Here is my video that shows the whole thing. I only wish Tiffany was involved, instead of poor Bones.

Today, Punchy was over his cold. He sent me a stool to thank me for the medicine.

Chip had his tent set up outside of town hall for the fishing tournament, but of course, I played too late to participate. He told me that Bones was the winner. Congrats, Bones! Hopefully that will cheer him up after what happened the other day.

Chip: Bones from here in Forest! Solid fishing! But not so much for you. Nyuuk nyuk!

Goldie asked me for a mole cricket, so I kept my ears open for the critter. It didn’t take me long to track one down. When I took it over to Goldie, she thanked me and gave me a lattice wall for the trouble.

I went down to the Roost and caught the Saturday night performance of K.K. Slider. He played K.K. Condor for me.

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

By the way, if you didn’t yet see last week’s episode of Mario Plays ACCF, here it is:

You’re Not Moving!

Thursday night, there was another aurora in the sky. I know I take a lot of pictures of the northern lights, but at least I try to take them from different spots. This one has the waterfall in the background, and I really like it.

The northern lights shine over the waterfall in Forest.

Goldie told me she was thinking about moving out, but I made sure to change her mind as quickly as I could.

Goldie: What's wrong with me?! The answer is so obvious! I'm going to stay, in a pound!
Or you could stay in your house.

Goldie actually tried to kill me later! I didn’t take a picture, but the attempt will show up in a future video. 🙂

And last night, a dung beetle also tried to kill me! Fortunately, I survived. I decided to start having some fun with my huge collection of pitfall seeds.

I tested some things out and I now have a basic plan on what I’m going to do in my next pitfall video. I’ll probably get to that in the next week or two. 🙂

Tonight, Punchy was sick with a cold. So I gave him some medicine.

After saving Goldie on Thursday, I had to save another one of my favorites tonight. Static, of all people, had the nerve to suggest that he might leave town! Over my dead body!

Static: You've convinced me, skippy. I'll stay on as Forest's crankiest resident a while longer.

I’ll be posting a new Mario Plays ACCF video tomorrow.
