Jeff's ACCF Blog

Rizzo was all packed up to move out today. It’s a great sight to see!

Saharah was in town, looking for old carpets. Even though Saharah claims to be from a far-off land, Goldie isn’t sure she believes it. Could it all be an act?

I couldn’t ask Rizzo for carpet since he’s leaving, and I couldn’t ask Wolfgang because he was sick. But I did give him some medicine.

Of my remaining villagers, exactly zero had old carpets to give me. It seems like I’m never going to get that lunar surface.

Kapp’n was enjoying some coffee at the Roost today. But he said coffee goes best with some cucumber slices! Ugh! Never!

By the way, I did not receive a reply from Queenie about the birthday greeting I sent her on her birthday. Perhaps they only reply if the letter is sent early enough (before the mail goes out at 5 p.m.) on their birthday? I’m not sure, but I’ll have to test this again sometime.

Today is the 13th anniversary of ACCF’s release! I posted my annual slideshow of screenshots taken in the past year. Check it out if you’re interested! And happy ACCF anniversary! 🙂

Last Sunday, Lucky asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Big Top, and Gwen.

It took me less than two minutes to find Gwen, who was trying to hide behind a sign post!

Another two minutes passed by before I found Lucky. He was hiding behind the lone unoccupied house in town. However, I had a hard time finding Big Top. It wasn’t until my third trip around town (with less than two minutes remaining) that I found him behind town hall. Still, I won the game, and Lucky rewarded me with a daffodil table.

Yesterday, Simon asked me for some “plantlike” furniture. Why doesn’t he just ask me for a plant? 😛 🪴

His phrasing may be a bit awkward, but I’ve seen worse. Like when Portia asked me for TV-tastic furniture last year. Yikes.

Anyway, there wasn’t any plantlike furniture at Nook’s shop, at Redd’s shop, or in the lost and found. I tried giving him a mush stool that was today’s fake mushroom, but he wouldn’t accept it. So I ordered a holly bonsai for him.

The plantlike holly bonsai arrived in the mail today, and I took it over to Simon. He seemed to like it, and he gave me a lovely carpet to thank me.

Rizzo had some very good news for me today: He wants to move out of town! I’m an understanding friend, so I encouraged him to follow his dreams and wander off to another town. 😉

I’m glad he’s not sticking around as long as he did in my New Horizons town! It took me over a year to get rid of him there!

I saw on the bulletin board that today is Queenie’s birthday. This game doesn’t have birthday parties or anything, but I decided to wish her happy birthday in a letter. I even bought her a hamster cage and attached it as her birthday gift.

At the Roost tonight, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Sonata for me. It’s pretty good, even if it is a slow and sad song.

Wolfgang has been sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday, and then again today. Get well soon, you big grump!

Yesterday was Halloween, and I actually decided to participate in the Halloween event in all four games that had it. In City Folk, I was able to use a bunch of leftover candy that’s been lying there on the ground since Bunny Day 2020. So I went around town, looking for Jack. I gave him candy, and he gave me spooky furniture in return.

As you can see, I was wearing a witch outfit. 😛 Since it’s an official “look,” it counts as a costume…and I could trick-or-treat at the houses of indoor villagers to get additional candy.

Outdoor villagers chase you in this game, but they’re not as fierce as on GameCube. So they’re not too hard to avoid most of the time. But it makes for a good screenshot when you’re being chased by pumpkin heads. 🎃

The spooky furniture is worth 10,310 bells apiece in this game, so it’s a nice chunk of change. I collected 11 pieces of it in all, so I made 113k. That’s not quite summer bug-hunt levels of money, but it’s just about the next best thing.

Today is November 1st, and that means that mushroom season is here. There will be several mushrooms around town. And one of them each day will actually be a piece of mush furniture.

If you currently have perfect town status, you may find a rare mushroom buried in town. It’s worth 16,000 bells, making it more valuable than a coelacanth!

Rizzo asked me for a stupidly easy favor: He wanted me to deliver something to Goldie, who was standing just a few feet away. These are the best favors.

So I took the gift (a robo-floor) to Goldie, and Rizzo rewarded me with a toaster.

I recorded a few clips for an upcoming video today. It’s a video I’ve been planning for a long time, but the time has almost come for it. I’ll probably post it in a couple weeks or so.
