Today, Midge told me she was on a hunt for buried treasure. The dialogue reminded me of the treasure hunt mini-game in New Horizons, but City Folk doesn’t have such a game. Instead, she was just asking me to find a fossil for her.

Robin asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek, and she gave me ten minutes to find her, Roscoe, and Big Top. Unlike the last time I played this, it was a slow process. I found Big Top about two and a half minutes into the game, and it took another two minutes to find Robin herself.

About a minute after that, I found Roscoe to win the game.

Robin rewarded me with a mega rustoid (a gyroid).

Antonio was talking about buried fossils and gyroids, and he thinks there’s something even bigger buried underground somewhere. Unfortunately, he wasn’t having luck finding anything. But at least he used his catchphrase in a way that made sense. 😛

Speaking of letdowns, that’s what I felt when I stepped into Jeremiah’s pad. He is already packed up and ready to move out of town! ☹️

Even though I like Big Top a lot, Jeremiah was my favorite villager in town. And it hurts that he’s leaving after only two months! Technically, even a bit less than two months. Oof. I’ll miss the guy (even though I still have him in New Leaf). 😔

Anyway, I gave one of the fossils I founds today (an iguanodon tail) to Midge. She thanked me and gave me a plush carpet in return.

Later on, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Gumbo for me at the Roost.

If you haven’t yet seen my annual slideshow of my best ACCF screenshots, here is The 16th Year in Pictures:

The November fishing tournament was held today, and it was a carp-only tournament.

Robin had a bit of an attitude about the tournament. She said she hopes I have fun participating, because I don’t have a chance of winning. She felt like she had it all wrapped up!

Roscoe had a funny line about the tournament, saying competition is what separates us from the…other animals. 😆

I initially caught two carps, but neither of them topped the high score at the time: Antonio’s 34.9-inch carp. I had caught about 20 fish and wasn’t finding many carps, so I decided to keep going until I caught a third one. But once I did, it measured at 37.1 inches; big enough to take over the top spot!

Chip gave me an orange chair for my prize. However, there was still a couple hours to go in the competition. I turned off the game for a while, but returned later. A letter was in my mailbox, congratulating me on my win! (Take that, Robin!) A silver trophy was attached to the letter.

When I spoke with Chip again, I noticed an error in his dialogue!

The A carp Fishing Tourney? I’ll have to include that in my next Typos & Mistakes video.

I then went over to the Roost to check out the Saturday night show. K.K. Slider performed K.K. Metal for me. 🤘

I should also point out that today is the 16th anniversary of Animal Crossing: City Folk’s release! I’ll be posting my annual slideshow of best screenshots in a few days, but I also posted a new City Folk Moments video yesterday. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet!

I’ll see you all next time! Never Stop Crossing!

November is here now, and that means mushrooms are growing all around town. And one each day will be mush furniture in disguise, like this mush closet here.

I found a new house in the spot where Gabi lived earlier this year. Inside, I found Robin the…robin. However, there was no sign of Batman.

Robin has lived in Forest before, back in 2012-13. And Robin’s presence has given new meaning to Midge’s greeting, “We’re all birds.” 😆

Admittedly, Midge and Robin are the only birds in town right now. But that greeting will start to look prophetic if more birds continue to flock to town.

When I put some bells into my savings account, my balance reached 65 million bells.

Later on, I learned that Antonio locked himself out of his house. His catchphrase fit in quite well with his sentence, and he seemed to be asking if his key could be in a hole.

Of course, the key is actually in a river, not a hole. And I didn’t bother going fishing for it. Sorry, Antonio. 😛 Maybe you can sniff it out yourself.

I walked over to the Roost and asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed Aloha K.K. for me.

When I rode the bus out to the city, I ran into Drift there (one of my current Wild World villagers). He wished that just once, he could meet a date in front of the fountain. That does sound nice.

I guess he’s hoping to make a splash in the dating pool.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you all next time!
