Circles, Beauty, Goal

Last Sunday, I made sure to check out the fireworks festival before August ended.

Tortimer: Today is the last Fireworks Show of the year!

I got a Roman candle from Tortimer, and then I proceeded to wax his shell. It’s tradition, you see. 😆

However, he seemed intent on walking in circles…for nearly a full minute, until I spoke with him again! This is the same thing that happened to Bones in 2019, after a fishing tournament. In the same spot, too! This must be a glitch that happens during events.

But anyway, I stopped at several spots around town to watch the fireworks. 🙂

Fireworks go off in the sky in ACCF.

On Monday night, I did a little bug-hunting. I also caught two sharks, which is pretty rare for me to even see two sharks in the same night. I also netted three elephant beetles, caught one tarantula, and outran a scorpion to Nook’s shop for safety. 😆 I made about 105k on the night.

On Thursday night, Patty confused me when she started talking about beauty…and her snot. 🤔

Patty: I'm so, like, moved by the beauty, I can't quit crying! Aaaaaugh! My snot! It won't stop, how-now!

But about a minute later, I started hearing shooting stars. It was a meteor shower!

It actually became a pretty heavy meteor shower, too. At least for City Folk. At one point, I heard four of them within a two-second span!

I spent some time catching more bugs and fish, and I didn’t stop until I earned 290,000 bells on the night. That’s what I needed to reach my summer goal: 64 million in savings! Mission accomplished! 😎

Your current balance is 64,000,000 bells.

Tonight, Big Top told me that he wished he was Tom Nook (ew). But he was really just wanting his own store…so I guess I can forgive him for that statement. 😆

Big Top: Sometimes I wish I was Tom Nook, in a tent! 'Cause then I'd have my own store!

At the Roost, I asked K.K. for a random song; he performed “Pondering” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Pondering.

Here are a few other quick notes about tonight:

  • Patty was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine.
  • I shot down a balloon present that contained a sandbag.
  • I found a watermelon table in the recycle bin at town hall.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend (holiday weekend if you’re in the U.S.), and I’ll see you all next week!

  1. Do you usually fish or bug-hunt for bells in other seasons besides summer now that it’s over? Just curious since now it’s harder to make bells that way.

    1. If I see a valuable bug or an unusually large fish shadow, I’ll still try to catch them of course. But I generally don’t spend extended periods of time just looking for them, unless it’s for a tournament/Bug-Off or for a villager favor.

      If I’m trying to make bells beyond the usual things (money rock, selling fossils, etc.), I may harvest a bunch of fruit. I have dozens of foreign fruit trees, so I can make a good chunk of bells that way. It’s just more time-consuming (since you can’t stack fruit in ACCF), and not as fun as bug hunting.

    1. The fastest way would probably be to time travel one day at a time for several weeks, without walking on the grass. But that would also fill your town up with weeds and you could potentially lose a villager you wanted to keep. I personally wouldn’t recommend it, but it’s up to you.

      I suggest making paths and sticking to them as much as possible. That way you can (slowly) regrow grass, and keep what you have. If you run around everywhere, you’ll end up losing the grass again anyway.
