Bummer of Summer

I received a goodbye letter in the mail today, and unfortunately, it was from Rio (not Carmen).

Rio's goodbye letter to Jeff in Animal Crossing for Nintendo GameCube.

Candi had the “Nintendo Power maze” dialogue for me tonight. It’s the one where you have to pick left or right to help her get through a maze. It took me a whopping nine tries to get through it. This is one of the most annoying bits of dialogue in the entire series. And I don’t even get a reward for it. 😑

Candi: ...That's still not quite it, in my ears...

Dotty the rabbit has just moved into town. I found her fresh off an argument with another rabbit, Genji. In fact, Genji’s umbrella was slicing through my head as I spoke with Dotty. πŸ˜›

Dotty: Oh. Jeff, huh? Well, I'm Dotty. Now that we've met, does that mean we're friends?

Static asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “krzzt,” so I told him to say “get zapped” instead. He then complained about the heat, saying that it was the one bummer of summer.

Static: You could say heat is the one bummer of summer...if you wanted to sound like a complete dork, that is.
Well, you said it, so…

Maple asked me to get her a pear to snack on, and I agreed to help out.

Maple: Let me think... Oh! Well... It's not like I have to have it, but I sure wouldn't mind a pear to snack on.

After fetching a pear for the bear, she rewarded me with 527 bells. That’s a whole 27 bells more than Tom Nook pays. Now I’m rich! πŸ€‘πŸ˜‚

Carmen was talking about how much she loves summer, especially with the fireworks festival coming up on Monday night.

Carmen: Seriously, though, I just love the summer... Beaches, sunbathing, and fireworks, bumpkin!

As I walked around town, I noticed a lot of arguments going on tonight:

  • Dotty and Genji
  • Belle and Ursala
  • Puck and Genji
  • Hank and Baabara

And of course, most of them took out their anger on me, even though I had nothing to do with it. πŸ˜›

Ursala: OOOHH! You... You make me soooo MAD!!!

I wish this game had more pitfalls, so that I could give them a reason to be angry. πŸ˜‚

See you all next time!

  1. Dotty sent me a letter ending in SWAK! Also Tangy, Peanut and Gabi. It’s true. Some peppy villager response letters end with SWAK.
