I didn’t realize it until I started the game up and saw Chip at town hall, but the fishing tournament was held today. Of course, it was already over by the time I played. But Chip informed me that Opal was the winner, with a 43.4 inch sea bass.
Al asked me to catch a bug for him, and I thought about helping him out. That is, until he told me which bug he was looking for…a dung beetle! Those things aren’t even in season until snow covers the ground (in a few days), so I turned down his request.
I found a new house in the same spot that Drift just moved out of, and Sterling the eagle was inside! I don’t recall having him in any of my towns before, so that’s kind of nice. And he seems pretty cool so far.
Since it’s Saturday night, I headed down to the Roost for some live music. K.K. Slider performed K.K. Love Song for me. That’s one of my favorites, and I believe it’s also the first K.K. song I’ve ever heard, way back in the original GameCube game.
I recently discovered that another of Forest’s current residents has moved into Mushroom as well. Check it out in the latest episode of Mario Plays ACCF. This will be the last new episode before Christmas, but I plan to have a variety of videos posted during that final week of 2018.
I am glad that dung beetles roll up snowballs! (L:What if they hide the dung in there?)
