On Tuesday, Saharah was in town, looking for old carpets once again. I asked around, but Grizzly was the only one who had an old rug to give me. I didn’t have any saved in storage, since I just used my others two weeks ago.

Goldie was still sick, so I gave her another dose of medicine.

At the Roost, I found Tom and Phyllis sitting together. Were they on a date? 😆 I wish there was a way to tease Tom about this for the rest of eternity. 😉

I then got ready for my first late-night bug hunt of the summer! I recorded a full gameplay video of my one-hour bug hunt. How many bells did I make? Watch and see! 😉

Lobo told me he was thinking about leaving town, and I asked him to stay. However, that didn’t sway his opinion. I planned on talking to him again to convince him…but I actually forgot to try again. So when I played again today, Forest’s lone wolf was all packed up.

Goldie was finally over her cold today. She sent me a thank-you letter, with a white boom box attached.

At Nook ‘n’ Go, I wondered if today was Zelda day! Tom Nook was selling a Master Sword, a tea vase (which reminded me of the pots you can break in Zelda games), and a holly bonsai (which looks like the small trees you can pick shock fruits from in Tears of the Kingdom).

At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he played DJ K.K. for me. That’s always a good song. 🙂

After I was done with my walk around town, I again emptied my pockets and wallet for a short bug hunt. It was only 15 minutes this time, but not many rare bugs were out! I only made 19k, which is pathetic compared to what I made on Tuesday. I think the problem is that I was playing before 11 p.m., when I tend to do better after 11:00. But oh well, I’m still ahead of schedule for my summer goal, thanks to Tuesday.

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

I listened in on a conversation between Harry and Grizzly today, and they said it looked like they were hatching an evil plan every time they talk. 😄

They said even though it was a joke initially, they felt like they really should become supervillains. They even practiced their “villain laugh.”

Immediately after their conversation ended, Harry asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “honeybun.” Yeah, I guess villains can’t go around saying “honeybun.” So I told him to say “I’m evil.” 😛

At Nook ‘n’ Go, Tom Nook was selling a lot of green furniture today. It must’ve been a special Green Day sale. 😛

Goldie was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine. Get well soon, Goldie!

In the city, Crazy Redd was ready for the summer heat; he was selling a backyard pool. I really like the way it looks in this game: The water looks so sparkly and inviting.

July is here, and that means it’s prime bug-hunting season! I didn’t do any bug hunting just yet, but I’m sure I’ll get that started one night soon. 🙂

I started today with 55.4 million bells in savings. I’m going to set myself a goal of two million bells for the summer, just like I have the past few years. So I want my balance to be (at least) at 57.5 million bells by September 1st. That shouldn’t be too hard, considering how much I enjoy my late-night summer bug hunts.

Good luck if you’ll be out there hunting bugs too! 🙂 I’ll see you next time!

Boomer’s replacement moved in today, and I was a bit surprised to see that it was Marcel the mime dog (again).

Marcel lived in Forest just last year, and he moved out last August. That’s less than a year, and he’s back already. That makes him the 2nd villager to leave in 2022, and return in 2023! (Goldie was the other one.) This sort of thing never used to happen, and now it’s happened twice in the past month. Weird.

Saharah was in town today, looking for old carpets. Grizzly was talking about her, and he even called her an oddball. 😛

I started asking around, and my old friend Tom (the cat, not the raccoon) was the only one to give me some old carpet. Thanks, Tom!

Fortunately, I had two others saved in storage. So I grabbed them all and started looking for Saharah. I was wondering if maybe this would be the time I would finally get the lunar surface, which Saharah still has not given me even once in 14.5 years. But it wasn’t meant to be: She took my three old carpets and just gave me a tatami instead.

It’s just frustrating that I haven’t been able to make a proper space room in this game in 14+ years.

Down by the beach, I caught my first shark of the season. 😎 I love how big the shark shadows look in this game. And the fins are so prominent compared to how they look in New Horizons, too.

My recent video “If Animal Crossing was Narrated by Zelda TotK Characters” has a couple of short ACCF clips in it, even though it’s mostly New Horizons. But I hope you’ll check it out if you haven’t seen it yet: Link
