Jeff's ACCF Blog

I visited Static last night, and he made it clear that he’s not a fan of winter. He said it makes it hard to maintain his cheerful disposition. Ha! What a joke. He’s the grumpiest squirrel I know.

When I went over by Tank’s house, I had a flashback to the days when Nintendo still supported online play for ACCF. Merry’s house used to be in this spot at one point. I would often bury a pitfall seed right behind the tree in front, and then I’d ask my visitors to meet me at Merry’s house. My regular visitors soon caught on, but many newcomers fell for it. Good memory.

Over by the river, I listened in on a conversation between Chow and Broccolo. Chow was saying that he used to be a kendo star, and that he had a great body that drove the girls crazy. Broccolo found that hard to believe, and asked why the last girl Chow had over looked mad when she got on the bus back home. Chow wasn’t happy that Broccolo was seemingly spying on him.

And yet, Chow was the one spying when I had a conversation with Opal. Opal said she was thinking about moving away, but I told her to stick around.

I wanted to change my path back to blue ice bricks, but Able Sisters was closed. So I started up the game again tonight and changed them back.

I saw a big fish in the ocean, so I fished myself out a tuna.

Opal asked me to make a delivery to Chow, and I agreed to help out. Their homes are pretty close to each other, after all. The gift was plank flooring, and that apparently brought back some memories for Chow. He said Opal has a memory like an elephant!

When I returned to Opal, she rewarded me with some blue flooring.

That’s all I have for now, but I’ll be back again next week. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Winter has arrived, and snow now covers the grass and trees in town. I caught a glimpse of the northern lights tonight, although they were past their peak and starting to fade away.

My kiwi shirt was looking quite out of season, so I headed over to Able Sisters to see if I could find a more appropriate shirt. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any shirts I liked…but I did see this motocross helmet for sale. It was blue and shiny, and I couldn’t resist it.

Of course that clashed with what I was already wearing, making my kiwi shirt look even worse. So I changed into my UFO pattern shirt for now; at least it’s blue and black like the helmet.

As I walked around, I noticed that Christmas lights are also on some of the cedar trees around town.

I made an animated GIF showing some of the Christmas lights in motion.

I saw a large shadow in the river, so I fished it out and caught a stringfish! That’s always a nice surprise (and sells for a nice chunk of change).

When I visited Chow, he asked me to catch a centipede for him. Yikes.

I tried banging several rocks, but I only found pill bugs, not centipedes. He may be on his own for that request.

At Nook ‘n’ Go, I decided to order a racing shirt (not to be confused with the racer shirt or racer 6 shirt) to go along with my helmet. I should have that next time.

I was also trying to find Opal, since I didn’t see her anywhere in town. I eventually found her in the Roost. We had a nice chat about coffee, and how delicious it is.

I’ll see you all next time. Happy holidays!

I spotted a new house in town tonight, and I found Coco inside. She’s the creepy gyroid/coconut/zombie/rabbit villager with no eyes. And yet, I kind of like her. 😛

Tom Nook had a big festive tree (a large Christmas tree, in other words) on sale at Nook ‘n’ Go tonight. I bought it for my house.

Saharah was in town, looking for old wallpaper. But before I asked Static for wallpaper, he told me that I can’t catch saltwater fish in the river and I can’t catch freshwater fish in the ocean. You don’t say…

I spoke to him again to ask for old wallpaper, and he actually had one for me!

Next, I ran into was Broccolo outside. I chatted with him, but I didn’t have the option to ask about wallpaper; he just kept talking about finding fossils or money on the ground. Then I realized, it was just after 12:00. Saharah, for whatever reason, doesn’t stick around past midnight. What a pain.

When I went to see Tank, he told me that pill bugs were on his mind and even in his dreams! That doesn’t sounds like a good dream.

But pill bugs are usually pretty easy to catch, so I agreed to help him out. When I returned with the bug, he rewarded me with a groovy wall.

After completing my walk around town (and getting some fossils identified), I returned home. I put my Christmas tree up and I put my old wallpaper into storage. That was actually the third old wallpaper I have in storage now! That would have been enough for a rare one, if Saharah hadn’t been in such a hurry to fly out of town. Oh well, I can redeem them next time.

If you haven’t yet seen my annual slideshow of my best City Folk pictures, here it is.
