Gulliver sent me a letter in the mail today, along with my reward for helping him yesterday. That reward was…a milkmaid hat. Like…. seriously? I hate what they’ve done to Gulliver in New Horizons.
One of my Nook Miles+ goals for today was to catch three sea creatures. That was the only reason I went diving, and I actually found a scallop (and Pascal) on my very first dive. He actually compared a pizza delivery guy to a knight in shining armor. 🍕😂
He gave me a mermaid fishy dress, which was another duplicate. I just sold it at Nook’s Cranny for 1,000 bells.
At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Ros, George, Ryan, Logan, Timo, Alex (from A-Nation), and Alex (from Pawnee) joined in. After not opening the past three Fridays, I didn’t think I’d get a full house. But I was pleasantly surprised by the turnout. 🙂
After everyone checked out the free DIY recipes scattered on the ground, we headed over to Donkey Kong Country. They got to see the new area, and they all seemed to like it.
Although when I sat on the bench, they apparently thought I meant for them to go across to the other side, so they ended up taking a shortcut instead of going around the loop the long way. 😛
We climbed up to the rock-head statue to take a group photo.
Further west, there was a pinecone on the ground that nobody could pick up! It apparently got glitched (or permanently lagged) somehow. 😛
When we went over to the frog race course, we encountered some weirdness there as well. Ros was stuck on one “lily pad,” and couldn’t jump off. There was also a spot that none of us could jump to. Everyone was just bopping in place, trying unsuccessfully to jump. I joked that maybe the pinecone’s ghost was on that spot.
Ryan had to leave, and once he did, Ros was set free and the ghost was gone. 😛
We went over to Lopez’s house, and he was crafting a tulip crown. But something gave me a splitting headache… 😛
When I went outside, Mario was sitting on a toilet, applauding, as a frog was hitting him with a net and a humongous fish was blocking the moonlight.
After that, we kinda just wandered around a bit. Alex from Pawnee left, and I put my King Tut mask on and ran around.
After I buried my first pitfall seed of the night (and fell into it myself), Ros returned, and Calvin tried to enter. But then we all got disconnected. I reopened, and Ros, Calvin, George, and Timo came over. I trapped Rizzo, and we went to visit Tybalt.
George left, but as he was leaving, we all got disconnected again. At that point, I called it a night and I did not reopen. But I had a good time tonight, so thanks to everyone who came!
I’ll be doing some dreaming this weekend, so maybe there will be another Dream Island Hopping episode coming up in a couple days. See you next time!
New reason I’m glad I have mint now:
2 years ago, she was in my old town. It was beautiful. I had a perfect town, Lily of the valleys everywhere, and I even had Marshall. What happened?
Well I had a bad habit of putting games outside the case not in it. And I guess I accidentally scratched New leaf because when I turned it on, it said the data was corrupted. That made me really sad because I worked on that town since 2014. And to make it worse, it kept crashing after rover’s bit. So I went to the e shop. Then i checked the welcome amiibo update scrolled down, then there was this option called repair software. So I did that. And it was a big help. New leaf never crashed again and half the villagers in my old town came back as starters or was a camper and I invited them. Moral: never scratch game cards.
Sorry you lost your original town like that. 🙁 But at least you got a lot of your villagers back.
Here’s something Nintendo will probably never add: the villager phone.
Basically for people that don’t have amiibo cards, you would say which villager you want as a camper, then the next day they would be there.
Cons are it destories mystery island tours and it takes away from the suprize of getting villagers.
Is there any area on your island you haven’t done anything with yet you plan on doing something with?
Yes. The part in the southeast corner of town (south of the arches), where there’s just a well and some trees. I may put a temporary attraction there soon… and then long-term, I have something else in mind that I may put there eventually.
Today I experienced a weird glitch. I shot down a blue balloon with an acorn pochette diy. A Minute later another blue balloon which alone is odd when it’s meant to be 3-5 minutes before another came. It had an acorn pochette diy! That was odd
Wow, that is weird. I’ve seen balloons come close together before, but not with the same recipe!
I had a great time last night. This was my first visit to Forest and I really enjoyed my 15 minutes there.

Glad to hear it! Sorry you didn’t get to stay longer, but it was getting late and the repeated disconnects got to be annoying. Come again sometime! 🙂
Thanks for opening your gates last night! I had a great time, even if I did get stuck for a couple moments…
No problem! Glad you had a good time, except for your brief stint as a statue. 😛
do you prefer new horizons or new leaf?
I want to wait at least a year before I definitively decide on that, since I still haven’t seen winter and most of the holidays. But I will say that New Horizons often keeps me playing longer, even in one-player, than New Leaf did.
