Jeff's New Horizons Blog

Gullivarrr was in town today, washed up on the beach and ranting about raisins in cookies.

I went diving for his communicator and returned it to him. He’ll be sending me a gift in the mail tomorrow.

In the southeast part of town, I took this picture of my new Halloween-themed area. It’s a graveyard, with six gravestones, black and orange flowers, a skeleton, a scarecrow, a throwback skull radio playing K.K. Dirge, and an ominous message that also appears on the map.

I may still make some changes to this area, but I went ahead and updated my dream. So you can check it out for yourself, if you’d like. Just go to dream address 6717-1633-3682.

Tybalt asked me for a new greeting, so I told him to say “Hi other Jeff.” 😛

When I visited Agent S, she told me she brought home her catfish. Was she talking about Rizzo? 😉

Up on Eagle Mountain, I was thrilled to run into Celeste!

I was even more excited when she gave me a DIY recipe for an asteroid! That was one of the items that I most wanted from her! 😀

In Apple’s house, I noticed that her hamster cage was replaced with a skull! Does that mean her hamster died? Oh no! 🐹💀

Nook’s Cranny had another pinball machine for sale today (a blue, pirate-themed one). So I bought it and put it in the amusement park. This was after I updated my dream, though.

Just FYI: If you leave a comment on this blog, the website and e-mail are optional. Please don’t put JVGS for the site, just leave it blank if you don’t have your own site you want to link. I’ve just been seeing it a lot lately and I don’t want people to think that’s necessary.

See you all next time! 🙂

Today, Lopez was crafting in his house again. That makes four days in a row! Today’s recipe was an ironwood cart, which was another one I didn’t need. 😛

There was a camper at the campsite, so I went inside the tent to see who it was. Unfortunately, it was Ursala! One of my biggest enemies from my GameCube town! No thanks!

I found a lost item on the ground near town hall. When I investigated it, the clue said that it was an exercise book. So I was pretty sure it belonged to a jock, which could be Louie or Tybalt. But since the last one belonged to Louie, I decided to ask Tybalt about this one. And sure enough, it was his workout journal.

As a reward, he gave me a flashy hairpin.

Flick was in town, so I got some bugs out of storage to sell him. But I only had six bugs, although most of them were goliath beetles. He gave me 63,000 bells for them all.

But Flick wasn’t the only animal in town that wanted bugs; Rizzo asked me for a bell cricket. Since it’s a fairly common bug, I agreed to help him out. It ended up taking me a bit longer than I expected (since I kept finding regular crickets instead of bell crickets), but it didn’t take too awful long. Rizzo was happy to have his bug.

My reward was a business suitcoat.

After that, I thought I was done playing for the night. But later on, I realized I didn’t give out any gifts today. So I started the game back up and crafted a kettlebell for Tybalt. I gave it to him, and he loved it…a lot. I was shocked when I saw my reward: his photo!!

I was not expecting to get his photo this soon! He hasn’t even lived in town for two months yet! And I only recently started giving him gifts! So it’s mind-boggling that he gave me his photo before Hornsby, Agent S, or even Midge. Maybe he just loves it when I speak French to him. 😉 But I’ll take it! I proudly displayed it in my bedroom.

His favorite quote is “There’s no excuse for half-baked potatoes.”

I posted my latest video today, Dream Island Hopping #2. I hope you’ll give it a watch, and visit the dream islands for yourself if they interest you. 🙂

See you tomorrow!

Yesterday, K.K. Slider was in town and he performed K.K. Folk for me. Rizzo, Louie, and Hornsby were also at the show.

I made some changes to Rainbow Road: I removed the walls and replaced the half-width designs with full-width ones. (I previously used half-width designs on the sides, so that the patterns didn’t bleed through under the walls).

I have mixed feelings about this. I like how the road is wider now, but I also kinda miss the wall. But this change will be helpful, because it frees up a whopping 14 design slots that I can now use for other things. And when you consider my pattern slots were basically full, that is a big motivator for the change.

Lopez has been on a crafting kick lately. Friday night, he was crafting a tulip crown. Yesterday, he was crafting a golden flooring. And today, he was making an ironwood chair. I already knew how to make all three of those, but it is interesting that he was crafting three days in a row.

Keaton was shopping at Nook’s Cranny today, and he told me he could shop all day…if not for all the non-shopping activities required by life. 😂

I ran into Wisp tonight, but I was a bit surprised at where I found him. He was at the arcade, which is near the center of town. Normally I find Wisp in the northern part of town.

It took me four and a half minutes to find and catch all of his spirits. When I returned them to him, he gave me a corkboard for helping him out.

I spent much of my play time today working on a new part of town. It’s not as elaborate as Donkey Kong Country, so don’t expect anything too fancy. 😛 I’m mostly done with it already, although I still need to decide if/how I’m going to use a couple of items. I’ll probably unveil it in the next day or two (along with a dream update).
