Month: December 2023

When I played on Wednesday, my weekly evaluation from the Happy Room Academy (HRA) had a nice surprise for me: My score went up to 277,100 points!

That piggy bank must have given me a nice bonus! I believe this is (again) my highest-ever house score in any Animal Crossing game.

But that wasn’t the only surprise I got in the mail. I also received a goodbye letter from Wolfgang, who left without warning.

I then made my way up to the town gate, and my timing was perfect: The UFO came right when I got there! I promptly shot it down.

I gathered up Gulliver’s missing UFO parts, and he rewarded with another Arc de Triomphe. Not what I was hoping for, but oh well.

Peanut has been sick lately, so I gave her some medicine Wednesday, and then again today.

Even though Wolfgang is gone, I found a house in the same spot today. I went inside, and I was pleasantly surprised to find Octavian, who just moved in.

Even though I didn’t necessarily want Wolfgang to leave, I’m happy with how things turned out. 🐙

Eloise challenged me to see who could catch a dung beetle first, and I agreed to the competition. It took me a while, but I eventually caught one. As I was catching it, she pinged me…

She asked to trade the dung beetle I just caught for a one-way tee! Basically, she was asking me for another dung beetle before I even gave her the first one. So I turned down the trade request. (If I hadn’t, she might have claimed that she won the competition!) So after denying her the dung beetle, I then gave her the dung beetle. (Complicated, isn’t it?) She rewarded me with an exquisite rug, which was a better reward than a shirt anyway. 😛

I’ll be back with more next week! Have a fun (and safe) New Year’s Eve! 🎆

On Wednesday, I found this “Talking to Myself” post on the bulletin board. It’s about one of the pelicans making sludgy tea for her sister. 😛

Yesterday, I put some bells into the bank, and I reached a major milestone: I’ve now saved up ten million bells!

Today, I received a letter from town hall. They congratulated me on saving ten million bells, and they sent me a gift! I was not expecting this!

I opened the gift; it was a piggy bank! I put it in my (mush) bedroom, moving one of my Master Swords to storage to make space for it.

Each time I use it, I lose one bell. So it actually works, except that you can’t get the money back out. 😛

When I visited Peanut, she was telling me about this trendy harmonica she just bought. She said it was hard to use, so she wished she had just bought bought a discount harmonica instead. 😛

I know this is random, but this made me imagine a new character for a future game: A special character who sells (or gives) you a different musical instrument each time they come to town. Perhaps you’ll hear a faint musical tune while walking in your town, and you have to look for the source (by shaking a tree perhaps). A bird flies down and gives you an instrument. I don’t know, just a thought. 😛

Anyway, Drift asked me to stop by Bones’s house to make a delivery, and I agreed to help out. But almost immediately after ending the conversation with Drift, I saw Bones practically right there! That made the delivery super easy! 😛

I handed Bones the gift (a red down vest), and then Drift gave me a lab wall for helping out. I wish all requests were this easy!

I’ll be back with another entry next week. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! ❄️

On Wednesday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO (for the 30th time, if my records are correct). He asked me to recover the missing parts of his spaceship for him.

I gathered up the parts and returned them to Gulliver. In exchange, he gave me a Mouth of Truth (my 4th one).

Yesterday, Mitzi asked me to compete to see who could catch a sea bass first. Since that’s (obviously) an easy fish to catch, I agreed to the contest. I found one almost instantly, and Mitzi gave me 510 bells as my prize. But then she suggested that next time, she’ll steal my fishing rod before we start!

Wow, what a poor sport! Not what I expected from Mitzi, at all.

Today, I found Pascal near the shore. He told me not to judge anyone who fakes a smile.

He then gave me a keg before he jumped into the ocean and swam away.

Mitzi was talking about the sea bass I gave her yesterday, and she said she can always talk to her fishies if she doesn’t have any friends.

I delivered a gift from Drift to Dotty tonight. Dotty didn’t care much for the shirt, but Drift still rewarded me with 510 bells for making the delivery. He also said Dotty and I are his best buds…although he was frowning as he said it. 🤔

If you haven’t yet seen my latest Wild World video, here it is. Episode #61.
