Month: March 2025

When I played yesterday, I received a letter from Mint in the mail. She thanked me for the medicine I gave her last week, and she sent me a daffodil table.

Big Top asked me to take a present over to Monty for him, and I agreed to help out. That gift was a men’s toilet, and Monty said that Big Top has a memory like an elephant! I wonder why.

When I returned to Big Top, he gave me a robo-floor to thank me for making the delivery.

I visited Groucho, and I saw that he is now all packed up and ready to move out. I guess I played too late in the week to save him, but that’s alright.

He was still in town (and packed up) today, but he’ll be gone by the next time I play. Good luck in your travels, you big grouch.

Today, Antonio told me that Robin and Felicity have been hanging out a lot lately. They wouldn’t tell him what they were up to, but Antonio is convinced they’re making a race car that runs on pound cake. Seems legit.

At the Roost tonight, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed “The K. Funk” for me.

I rode the bus out to the city, and I was trying to think of a screenshot I’ve never taken before. I’ve probably seen just about everything in this game, right? So this is what I came up with.

Standing behind the plant in the HRA, with just my mohawk (and a bit of my forehead) visible to reveal my location.

I also went into GracieGrace and had a little chat with Puddles. She told me that Gracie’s clothes don’t look good on people with triangular heads.

And now I suddenly want some Doritos.

Mint has caught a cold, so I gave her some medicine yesterday, and again today. Get well soon, Mint!

Today, another fishing tournament was underway. But as Nana informed me, it was a loach-only tournament.

Even though I was playing early enough in the day, I chose not to participate this time. I don’t like these tournaments where you have to catch one specific fish.

With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I took a bus out to the city and made my annual transformation into Mohawk McClover. Phineas was also in the city, so I asked him for a balloon. Fittingly, he gave me a green one!

I took a break from playing, but I returned tonight. Chip informed me that Monty won the tournament with an 8.4-inch loach. That’s two in a row for Monty! Congrats!

I went over to the Roost and asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed “Only Me,” which is one of his better songs.

Groucho told me that he wanted to move out of town.

Even though he’s my least favorite villager in town, I didn’t necessarily want him to leave so soon. He’s only been here for two weeks, after all! I (twice) tried to talk him out of it, but he hasn’t changed his mind. I just wasn’t in the mood to spend all night trying to save him. If he’s still around when I play next week, I may try again. If not, it’s no big loss.

I recently posted my latest City Folk Moments video, so I hope you’ll check it out if you haven’t seen it yet:

On Tuesday, Marina asked if I’ve picked up any new hobbies lately. I said no, and she suggested trying some new recipes. Was this the seed that grew into crafting and cooking later in New Horizons?

When I visited my other pink neighbor Nana, she asked me to catch a peacock for her! Unfortunately, it was the day after Festivale, so I was too late to catch Pavé.

Just kidding. She wanted a peacock butterfly, even though she never mentioned the word butterfly.

Saharah was in town, and she asked me for some old wallpaper. So I started asking around. Felicity told me that she had some old wallpaper the day before, but she just traded it for some slippers. That was random.

Antonio helped me out by giving me some wallpaper, although he claimed to not know that Saharah even had a name! He said he had just called her “Eyelash Lady.”

Mint and Monty (M&M?) also had some old wallpaper for me, so I had the three that I needed! I took them back to Saharah, and she gave me a backgammon wall for them. I’m game for that.

I played some more City Folk again today, and Marina told me there was a painter in town. She was talking about Wendell, of course.

It just made me think what a shame it is that Wendell’s role has diminished in recent games. In New Leaf, he only existed in dreams. And then in New Horizons, he got completely replaced by a custom designs portal. He may still show up in the Roost if you use an amiibo card, but still, that’s disappointing.

Anyway, I ran into Wendell a few moments later. I shook down the apples from a nearby tree and gave him one. He thanked me and gave me not a coloring book, but a coloring Nook.

It’s a pattern of Tom Nook that’s not filled in. You can color it in yourself, if you’d like.

I later spotted a peacock butterfly flying around! I caught it and took it over to Nana. (I like how they give you a few days for requests in this game.)

She rewarded me with a lattice wall.

Marina has been toying with the idea of moving out, but I finally got her to change her mind after about six attempts. I can’t let my 3rd favorite villager leave, especially when she just got here! And speaking of that, would you like to know where I’d rank all of my villagers? I recently ranked my villagers in all eight of my Animal Crossing towns, and you see the full lists in this video:

I also just posted my monthly recap of villager arrivals and departures in my towns. And you can see that here:

I hope to see you all next week with more! Have a great weekend!
