Month: April 2021

Late last night, I started up the game again briefly to check for Wisp (for a video). Sure enough, he was in town…up on Rainbow Road in the Mario area. I collected his spirits for him, and in return, he gave me a red intricate wall. But the most interesting part is that I learned that Wisp can collect those Mario coins when he walks floats over them!

Today, I found a bunch of star fragments on the beach from last night’s meteor shower. That included three Aries fragments; I used two of them to make an Aries rocking chair.

K.K. Slider was at the plaza for his Saturday night performance, and I joined Tia and Apple to enjoy a rendition of Agent K.K.

It’s too bad that Agent S wasn’t there to hear her theme song! 😉

I saw several posts on the bulletin board from last night’s visitors, but none were more terrifying than Logan’s self-portrait. 😛

There was another meteor shower tonight, so I wished on a few more shooting stars.

I’ll be posting a new video on Youtube tomorrow. It’s not strictly about New Horizons, but it will have a few clips from ACNH, and some from City Folk and GameCube as well.

Yesterday, Gulliver was in town…and he was standing in the water. 😛 I dug up the five pieces of his communicator and returned them to him.

FYI, a cool globe is now available from Nook Shopping as a seasonal item for Nature Day. It costs 2,300 bells.

Flip the monkey was camping at the campsite, but I was not interested in asking him to move in.

I played a treasure hunt game with Bones, and he only gave me three minutes to find the treasure. However, it only took me about one minute to find the prize (a denim jacket). 😛

Today, I received my latest reward from Gulliver: an alpinist hat. Apparently, I haven’t helped Gulliver 30 times yet because I still didn’t get my golden shovel recipe. I’ve seen other people getting theirs lately though, so I’m sure most of us who started on launch day are getting close to unlocking it!

Celeste was in town, and she taught me the DIY recipe for a crewed spaceship.

Around 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Logan Shrek, Samzyy, Alex from A-Nation, Jake, Nami, and Timo came over. I led them over to my new structure, but Logan/Shrek fell into the first two pitfalls of the night. 😛

My new structure is an ocean sunfish tower. 😛

The only problem is that it’s difficult to view the whole thing. I may need to redesign it, possibly with an observation deck one level up.

At about 10:30, Alex from Pawnee came over, Jake disconnected, and Xavier joined in. We had a full house, so I suggested some Mario races. However, it quickly became clear that we were experiencing far too much lag to run the races smoothly. But we raced anyway.

After everybody raced once, Samzyy left and T Zelda arrived. I asked if people wanted to continue racing, but Alex pointed out that Celeste was in town, so everyone kinda took off to see her. 😀 Shortly after that, we had an impromptu outfit-changing session.

Xavier said it was “delightfully insane,” and I couldn’t agree more. 😂

We then hung out on the Super Mario Sunshine beach (and jail cell), and TZ left about 11:30.

We had a sea-creature catching competition, but I was hampered with some extreme lag. When I caught one creature, it took me a minute and a half underwater before I came back up to the surface. Later, a dive kept me underwater for five minutes as the timer ran out (and beyond). In fact, I was only freed when Alex from A-Nation left. But Timo won the event with 22 catches, so congrats, Timo!

About midnight, Calvin came over as I was trying to wash my fish in the fountain. 😛

Logan left, and the rest of us played some music, hung out at Sudden Valley, and tried to eat Nami’s pancakes.

I ended the session about 12:40. Thanks to everyone who came, it was fun! You’ll be seeing some of tonight’s best moments in a future Wi-Fi Moments video. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Yesterday, I received my twinkling painting in the mail from Jolly Redd, and it was the real deal.

It’s been raining pretty much every day this week, and I’m getting tired of it (and the dozens of new flower buds I have to clean up every day). It’s so bad that I actually agreed with Rizzo about something!

Flick was in town, so I grabbed some bugs out of storage to sell to him. I only had a few though, so my payday was only about 25,000 bells.

Today, Bones was talking about bones. Well, not exactly bones, but fossils. He said that if I find a fossil of a yummy dessert, he wanted to lick it. I don’t think it would taste very good after thousands of years, but okay.

Ah yes, the two types of fossils: dino bones and ice-cream cones.

C.J. was in town with a seasports challenge for me: He wanted me to catch three big-time fish in a row. That’s easy enough, so I caught a black bass, dace, and another black bass. I later grabbed nine fish out of storage and sold them to C.J. for a total of almost 73k.

I found a lost item on the ground outside of Apollo’s house, and it was a bag that was apparently “the work of a craftsman.” I think I remembered that being a cranky item, so I asked Apollo about it. Sure enough, it was his. He thanked me for returning it by giving me a sports cap.

I am planning on having Friday Night Forest this week. So if you’re on my roster, feel free to stop by Friday around 10 p.m. Eastern time.
