Month: February 2020

Viva Festivale! That quirky holiday featuring Pavé the peacock has come around again, so I made sure to have a quick chat with my fine feathered friend.

The object of the event is to collect candy of different colors and exchange it for Pavé furniture. You can earn candy by playing (and winning) games with the villagers that are outside. But if you lose those games, you risk losing candy (or bells).

Those games include rock-paper-scissors, heads-or-tails, and “mouth soccer.” This festival can easily take hours to get the whole furniture set, but I only wanted a quick taste of it. So I only played long enough to get one piece of furniture, a Pavé table. I then sold it for 12,000 bells. It’s actually a pretty good holiday for earning money, if you saved leftover candy from last Halloween or Bunny Day.

But Festivale wasn’t the only noteworthy event of the day. Tiffany’s replacement has moved in, and it’s Purrl the cat! I like Purrl a lot, and I also have her in my other City Folk town of Mushroom (which I use for my Mario Plays ACCF series).

Tom Nook must have been feeling blue, because the furniture selection today was all-blue. There was an IV drip (which has a blue stand), and also two pieces of furniture from the blue set.

When I rode the bus out to the city, I spotted Phineas there. I asked him for a balloon, and he gave me an orange one. Thanks, Phineas!

Just a reminder that today is the last day of having snow on the ground! Get ready for green grass tomorrow! 🙂

If you’re interested in seeing more of Festivale, here is a video I recorded ten years ago, when I had Bella, Cesar, Cyrano, and Joey in town. Viva Festivale!

Last Saturday, I found Tiffany in her house, with her belongings all packed up in boxes. I said my final goodbye to her.

I played again tonight and I got her goodbye letter in the mail. She thanked me for making her life in Forest “SO wonderful.” By capitalizing the “SO,” I’m pretty sure she was being sarcastic. And when I think of the times I pitfall’d her, glitched her in the river, and dropped a giant snowball on her head, I can’t say I blame her. 😛

Kitty was sick with a cold tonight, so I bought some medicine for her. Just don’t say I’ve never been nice to Kitty. Because in 3+ years, this makes at least twice. 😉

My old buddy Puck asked me to catch a centipede for him, and I agreed to help out. I don’t know why all my villagers seem to want centipedes though! That would be the last bug I’d ever ask for!

So I went around town, banging every rock I saw. Over and over. But every rock in the observable universe gave up nothing but pill bugs!

I really wanted to help Puck out, but I failed miserably. It’s a bitter pill to swallow.

Anyway, if you haven’t yet seen City Folk Moments #9, here is the video. It starts off with a cool scene in which a pill bug tried to kill me! And later on, Goldie tried to kill me too. Well, there were a lot of attempted murders in this episode, but it’s all in good fun. 😛

On Tuesday, Pascal was in town, standing on the bridge towards the museum. I found a scallop for him, and he gave me a ship cannon in return. I then snapped this picture as he was starting to backflip into the river.

I was looking for a picture of my town map, after someone in a Youtube comment wondered if we had the same layout. But I couldn’t seem to find a map pic posted on this blog. Maybe I missed one somewhere, but I decided to take a new picture regardless. This is Forest’s layout:

I know it’s kind of a zig-zaggy layout, but it’s home. 😛

Today (Friday) is Valentine’s Day. I received a valentine from Kitty, of all people! This is the 2nd year in a row that Kitty was my valentine (ugh). Why couldn’t it be Goldie? Well at least Kitty sent me a chocolate heart.

Up at the Roost, I stopped in for my annual cup of hot chocolate. Brewster also wished me a happy Valentine’s Day.

Even though Kitty is my valentine and Brewster gave me hot cocoa, it was Tiffany that gave me the sweetest gift of all: She’s leaving town!

I recently posted a video (jokingly) showing what happens underwater in Animal Crossing games. While it isn’t just about City Folk, the first clip does show some ACCF footage. It’s a short video (under two minutes), and the response has been very positive, so I hope you’ll give it a quick watch. 🙂

I hope you all are having a good Valentine’s Day, and a good weekend. See you next time! I plan on posting another City Folk Moments video by early next week, so stay tuned!
