Month: August 2025

On Wednesday, I found Pascal standing near the shore. I spoke with him, and he told me that albatrosses aren’t so bad once you get to know them.

He then gave me some sea view wallpaper before plunging into the sea.

A message posted to the bulletin board gave tips on how to make food look more appealing. Although the tips aren’t exactly earth-shattering news. 😛

Yesterday, Truffles told me how excited she is for the fireworks festival. But she wasn’t sure that she could stay awake long enough, so she wondered if she should take a “disco nap” first. 🪩

Today, I met up with Truffles again outside of town hall. She started to tell me something about Pelly and Phyllis…

But she caught herself before revealing a “scorching secret.” And she blamed me for her almost spilling the beans! I didn’t say a thing.

Truffles stomped over to the museum, where she met up with Whitney. Truffles (falsely) claimed that she was voted the most popular girl in Forest. Yeah, as if Whitney is going to believe that one. (Maybe when pigs fly.)

But Whitney didn’t go that direction. Instead, she told Truffles that when you’re really popular, you’re also really despised. 😆

So Whitney convinced Truffles that she has to make people despise her, in order to get them to really like her. These conversations are so crazy sometimes. 🤪

Caroline is the latest villager to catch a cold, so I gave her some medicine yesterday and again today. Get well soon, Caroline!

On Wednesday, I spotted a banded dragonfly, and I chased it all across town. After several trips back and forth across the river, I eventually lost it. But as I chatted with Drift, I saw it sitting there on a rock! But it then took off and disappeared for good. If only I hadn’t spoken to Drift so quickly, I might’ve been able to snag it pretty easily.

Yesterday, Pippy gave me a gift that she said was perfect for me: a surfboard. 🏄‍♂️ I’m shore she meant well, but it’s probably not something I’ll use…unless I can use it to surf the web. 😛

Just a few steps away, Robin had fleas on her. I caught one of them, and Robin told me that everybody has fleas…on a pizza! 🍕

Wendell was in town, and I caught a catfish to give him. In return, he gave me the “overhead view A” pattern, which is another piece of the Nazca lines. I now have two of the four pieces needed for it.

If I think of it, I should try to catch the other two fish I need while they’re still in season. And I could keep them in my house until Wendell visits again.

Today, I spotted an unusually large fish shadow in the river, and I fished out a dorado!

Robin continued to use her catchphrase in weird ways, this time saying that flowers are like women, on a pizza.

The whole “women on pizza” topic reminded me of a funny mistake from another game (Harvest Moon 64):

Anyway, I spotted another banded dragonfly right after chatting with Robin. So I got my net out and started to chase it. I briefly lost it, and then ran around the outside of the shop. As I turned back to where I started from, I saw it flying right towards me! I swung my net and caught it! Robin walked closer to me, and once she saw, she started applauding (with one hand, because she was holding a net in the other hand). 😆

Katrina was in town, so I popped into her tent to hear my fortune. She started talking about inverted bread, beetles scurrying around, and a hungry boar that ate too much. Is this about Truffles?

I honestly had no clue what the fortune was supposed to be telling me. I assumed it had no effect…until I started falling on my face, this is. Then, I kinda knew.

In that respect, I was having bad luck. But on the other hand, I did already catch a rare fish and a rare bug. And they helped my savings reach another milestone, with my balance reaching 17 million bells.

Earlier this week, I posted my latest Wild World video episode, #79. Please check it out if you haven’t seen it yet.

See you next week!

Pascal was in town on Wednesday, and he told me that mackerel is not so holy after all. 😛

He then gave me a ship compass before plunging into the sea. I’ll probably hang onto it for the next birthday party that comes up.

Over by the shops, Truffles asked me to buy her parquet floor at a 30% discount (for a price of 2,330 bells). I declined, and she then offered me a 100% discount. Now that’s a discount I can’t pass up!

She then suddenly realized that a 100% discount meant that she was giving it to me for free. Oops, I thought she knew that already. 😛 But fortunately, she didn’t try to take it back.

On Thursday, Pippy told me that she can catch fish just by giving them the evil eye! 👀

To prove it, she wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a black bass first. However, I beat out her evil eye and gave her the fish before she had the chance to stare one down. So she rewarded me with an ornate wall.

Today, Pippy referenced that fish I caught for her. She said it was nice to live this way, surrounded by fish…in a pond.

Drift’s sickness has continued into its third week, and I gave him more medicine Wednesday and Thursday. But by today, he was finally over his cold. He thanked me for all the medicine by giving me a plush carpet.

Over at town hall, I found a Mrs. Flamingo in the recycle bin. 🦩

I’m not sure who threw her away, or where her husband is…but either way, it looks like Mrs. Flamingo got dumped.
