Jeff's New Leaf Blog

I didn’t participate in the fishing tournament yesterday, but I saw the results posted on the bulletin board. It was a black bass-only tournament. Molly was the winner, while Aurora and Hamlet got 2nd place and 3rd place.

I may be a few days late in mentioning this, but I’ve noticed that the fruit trees now have red leaves.

I started playing around with the Amiibo Camera feature a bit lately. You can scan an Amiibo card or you can choose one of your current villagers. And of course, you can use your own character(s) too. Here are a few of the pictures I took, although the first one was an accident. 😛

Here you can see Goldie sitting in the Urchin Underpass level of Splatoon. Don’t get splatted!

And then Goldie got shocked by the weirdness of Rhythm Heaven Fever.

I’ll have to play around with that feature more another time.

Anyway, I spotted four owls up in the campground tonight.

Instead of scanning Isabelle or Digby again, I decided to scan one of my Amiibo cards. I decided to go with Luna; I got her as my random card bundled with Happy Home Designer, but she is also available in Series 1 of the cards. You can’t ask special characters to move into your town of course, but I did ask Luna Wisp for a gift. I was given Luna’s pic.

The quote on Luna’s pic is “Dreams are but a reflection of your unconscious self.”

And for the first time in years, I expanded the path around town! You may remember that part of my path in the southwest park used to be a dead end. But I extended it up to the CAT machine, over to the campground entrance, and then north up to the river (where it turns and rejoins the other path by my western bridge).

I will need to breed just a few more gold roses (after using my spares that were on the beach), but that’s no problem.

On my way up to Re-Tail for a final time before I ended my game, Agent S pinged me. She bought an extra bathroom stall by mistake (who does that?), so she gave me one of them.

Now that we have matching bathroom stalls, she said that makes us twins! I guess the word doesn’t mean what it used to.

My latest dream visitors have been Cameron from Bindon, Marcai from Bubton, and Ray from Quelvrin. Thanks for stopping by!

A few nights ago, Merka decided to sell her town to Tom Nook and start over. I let her drop off some items in Forest until she got her new town up and running. Thankfully, she limited it to a few thousand of her most important possessions.

While visiting a dream town, I ran into Francine. And this bit of dialogue really fits the idea that she’s a human wearing bunny ears. She has to keep convincing herself that she’s a rabbit named Francine!

I’ve been playing some more of Animal Crossing Puzzle League lately. That included playing the Story Mode on the hard difficulty.

It was much harder this time, and I lost to Isabelle a few times. But on the bright side, she did offer me a job as a secretary. 😛

Unlike the normal story mode, in which I didn’t have to continue at all, I had to continue many times in hard mode. The final battle against Cornimer was particularly difficult. He kept beating me before I even had a chance to get going. Probably the most frustrating part of any Animal Crossing game for me. But eventually, I beat it. And now I probably won’t play story mode again, haha.

Anyway, I got a letter from Nintendo in the mail the next day. They sent me a fruit-panel umbrella for completing the story mode on hard.

Merka picked up her items and she’s getting settled into her new town Muffy. She even got Drake to move into her town randomly–he is one of her favorite villagers. Good luck with your new town, Merka!

Tonight, Julian told me he was planning on moving out of town on November 28th. I’m planning on giving him to Merka, although I’m not going to avoid talking to him, so it’s still possible he could change his mind about moving.

It seems that P&P Emptorectum was having a liquidation sale today. 😉

Even though those items are #1 and #2 on my shopping list, I’m having a cash flow problem. Well technically I have the money, but I don’t want to drain my wallet any further.

Just before wrapping up my game for the night, I heard a balloon present flying overhead. I shot it down and got a free backyard pool from it.

My recent dream visitors have been Kaitlynn from Rebelïnk, Chris from Nova, Hazel from Milkyway, Felipe from Mii Town, and Presley from Piano. Thanks for tuning in! And have a good weekend, everyone! 🙂

Yesterday, I spotted Harv feeding birds at the campground!

When you find him doing this, talk to him repeatedly (by choosing the “Hey Harv!” option) and he will give you some beans! The beans were previously unavailable in America.

Feeding the birds is fun! 🙂

A message posted on the bulletin board warned of upcoming snow flurries! Oh no, I’m not ready for winter!

I noticed that you can use emotions in the water. I thought this was a new feature, but I’ve been informed that you could already do this. Sorry for any confusion.

My favorite part is that if you use the Shrunk Funk Shuffle in the water, you are (temporarily) immune to jellyfish! They will pass right through you!

Today, one of my initiatives was to spend 150 bells at Leila’s “shop” on the island.

That struck me as weird, because you can’t spend bells on the island. Leila will pay you bells if you sell her some fruit, fish, or bugs, however. And that seems to be what the initiative means to say. Selling 150 bells worth of stuff let me successfully complete the mission.

Of course, Leila pays next to nothing, so this initiative may not be worth the effort. Especially when you consider it only earns you one MEOW coupon. Me-YOWZA!

I had Gulliver as today’s random RV camper. It was the first time I’ve seen him here, and interestingly, he appeared in Acorn and Arrested today too. He has a ball in his RV, so I made sure to order it. It can be customized into other balls (including a basketball), so it will come in handy for future sports rooms of mine.

My recent dream visitors have been Stephen from Kyoto and Kat from Ylisstol. Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you next time!

By the way, I’m trying to keep my Dream Suite Adventures page as up-to-date as possible with current dream addresses (since Nintendo deleted all the old dream towns earlier this month). I’ve already updated the new addresses for Pink Sea, Titania, and JOY. If you know of any current addresses for the other dreams featured there, please let me know. I’m sure I’ll be able to update a few more of them, but some of them are gone forever.
