Wearing Moldy Trash?

On Thursday (Feb. 20th), I received a goodbye letter from Buzz in the mail. This breaks a three-month streak of the most recent villager moving out after just a month (or less).

Dear Jeff, Well, my streak continues... I just can't seem to settle down in any town for long. This is kind of odd, because I've said so many goodbyes, but this one actually hurts... Goodbye... Buzz

Buzz moved in back in early September, so he lived here for five and a half months.

I also found some valentines in the mail from Baabara, Maple, Belle, and Sydney.

Dearest Jeff, You're the one I like the most. Don't tell anyone. It's not right to boast!

Kind words, scary stationery, and she even included a garbage can with the valentine. Talk about mixed messages.

Puck was talking about igloos, and he gave me some helpful advice about them: Don’t try to eat them. Thanks for that ProTip, man!

Puck: But they're not marshmallows! They're called igloos. So don't try to eat them! Trust me, it's a bad idea!

I met Buzz’s replacement, Boris the cranky pig. After insulting my fashion sense, he gave me a star shirt.

Boris: Hey! Who are you? I certainly don't know you! Hmmm... Jeff??? Nice name, schnort.

I found Gulliver down on the beach, and he told me his tale of fighting off pirates. Or sharks. Or driftwood. Whatever it was, he was lucky to survive! 😉

Gulliver: What I mean to say is... It was pirates! Or sharks again... Something like that...

He gave me a matryoshka, just like the one he gave me in December. And yet, he assured me I won’t find another like it. 😛

I was surprised to see Tortimer hanging out near the wishing well, and I was trying to figure out if it was a holiday I wasn’t aware of. It wasn’t, but it was time for his annual vacation.

Tortimer: What was I saying? Oh! There's a job I need you to do for me. Do you think you can help an old tortoise out?

He asked me to turn the lighthouse on each night for a week, but I’m not going to do it this year. Sorry, Tortimer.

I asked Tom for a job, and he asked me to get his camera back from Bangle. I agreed to help out, but I ultimately had to get the camera from Boris…despite him just having moved in. But Tom thanked me for getting it back, and he said he was wrong for thinking I was such a big dweeb. Wow, thanks. (He also gave me a pineapple bed.)

Tom: I guess I was wrong for thinking you were such a big dweeb. Keep up the good work!

I played again today, and I saw a notice about a treasure hunt on the bulletin board. A jukebox is buried somewhere in Acre F-3.

February 23, 2025: Anyone who wants a jukebox, start digging in Acre F-3! (It's not my fault if it's already gone by the time you get there!)

Baabara asked me what I thought about how she dresses, and I said “It’s OK, I guess.” She got furious at me for that, saying I should look in the mirror…where I’ll see “an idiot…wearing moldy trash!” 😮

Baabara: What do you mean by that? Have you looked in a mirror lately, you ragamuffin? Have you, daahling?!
Baabara: Do you see yourself wearing clothes better than mine?! No! You see an idiot wearing what looks like moldy trash!

That was very uncalled for. She specifically asked for my opinion, and there’s also the fact that she doesn’t actually wear clothes. She wears a scarf, and that’s it. So I got out a pitfall and re-introduced her to the ground. But don’t worry, because her “clothes” didn’t get dirty!

Baabara falls into a pitfall...somehow.

I found Static inside an igloo today. Unlike Genji, who recently boasted about building his igloo himself, Static said that he got someone else to build his igloo. (Maybe that was Genji.)

Static: I only supervised. I got some other guy in the neighborhood to build it.

When I spoke with Emerald, my speech options were “other things” or “I’d like to sell.” I chose the latter, because I wouldn’t mind selling something in my pockets. But she took that to mean that I thought she was Tom Nook. She “corrected” me, informing me that she’s a girl and Tom Nook is a guy. 🙄

Emerald: ...well, he's a guy! I'm a girl, sproing!

She told me to never say anything like that to her again! Wow. All I did was say I wanted to sell something.

Emerald: I don't think it's very funny. Please don't even say anything like that to me again.

Before saving my game for the afternoon, I went down and picked up that treasure hunt item. The jukebox was buried right next to the lighthouse. It was so easy to find that there might as well have been a spotlight right on it. 😛

Digging up a treasure hunt item right next to the lighthouse.

Later on, I started up the game again and returned to the lighthouse to turn it on for the night.

Turning on the lighthouse in Animal Crossing.

However, this is the only night I plan on doing this, so Tortimer will be mad at me when he returns next month. Oh well. 😛

I uploaded my latest video this weekend, GameCube Moments #23:

See you next time!
