Jeff's New Horizons Blog

Yesterday, Label was hanging out at the plaza. She wanted to see me in a sporty outfit, and she gave me a bulldog jacket as an example. So I put it on, but I also added some basketball shorts, basketball shoes, a skateboarding helmet, and some ski goggles. It may have been an odd combination, but everything was sporty, so Label loved it. She gave me some Labelle socks for my trouble.

Raymond was camping up at the campsite, but I was not interested.

When I visited Apollo, he had an odd question for me. He told me to imagine a fishbowl in front of me, and then he asked me what was inside it.

The choices he gave me were odd, but I picked an octopus because it seemed like a more appropriate choice than the other two options. Apollo said it was a personality test, and it meant I was a softie at heart…just like him.

Hornsby asked if my hobby was still annoying Rizzo. Not anymore, thankfully! At least not in New Horizons. (City Folk is a different story.)

Today, Bones was telling me that singing is a free activity, and anyone can do it. He just warned me to be careful, because a bug recently “fwooped” into his mouth while he was hitting a high note…and he ate it. Yikes. 🐞

Saharah was in town, and I bought everything except the small rug. I ended up with a misty-garden wall (cool), a peach checked rug (nothing special), a stormy-night wall (amazing–it has animated rain and lightning!), a racetrack flooring (alright), and an Earth rug (cool). I put the Earth rug up in my space room.

Wisp was also in town. I found four of his spirits rather quickly, but the 5th one took me a while. But once I did find it, Wisp gave me a hammock for helping him out.

Have a great night (or day)! The next New Horizons Moments video is coming very soon!

On Sunday, I found a scallop while diving. Pascal popped up and said that when we feel dizzy, maybe we’re just noticing that the world is spinning. 😵

Yesterday, Bones sent me some art in the mail. It was a common painting, and it was authentic! That’s the third authentic piece of art my villagers have mailed me this month!

The only disappointing thing is that I already had a common painting in the museum. But I’ll hang onto it for a future prize or giveaway.

Gullivarrr the pirate was in town, and I went diving to find his communicator for him; I found it on my third dive.

Marina told me that she loved the weather, because it’s great for air-drying her laundry. Wait, wouldn’t she prefer her laundry to be wet? She is an octopus, after all.

Later, I found her sitting on the ground near a bridge. It looked a bit odd because of all the extra legs. Uh, arms. Whatever. 😛

Today, I received some pirate pants in the mail from Gulliver.

Marina was home today, so I finally got to see the inside of her house now that she’s unpacked. Her house is very pink. Unfortunately, she was sick with a cold. But I gave her some medicine, and she’s already starting to feel better.

I noticed some cool cumulonimbus clouds in the sky tonight. I believe this is only the 2nd time I’ve seen them; the first time was last July.

I posted a (short) new video today, showing the names that jocks give to their abs in two different Animal Crossing games. Most of you probably know about the New Horizons names, which all start with “Ab-,” but the names in Wild World are completely different.

See you all next time!

Yesterday, Tybalt sent me a letter thanking me for the birthday present. I found his photo attached! This is my first duplicate photo in New Horizons, and I believe it was also the first villager photo I got in the mail.

C.J. was in town, and he wanted me to catch three big-time fish in a row for his seasports challenge. So I caught an arowana, a squid, and a whale shark to complete the challenge. I later sold him 16 fish for 227k.

I found Celeste up by the museum, and she taught me the DIY recipe for a nova light.

Next, I purchased five Nook Miles Tickets and started searching for my next villager! On the first mystery island, I found Leonardo the leopard. From there, things got worse. I then found Chops the hideous pig, and then an old nemesis of mine…

Rizzo! No thanks! It took me forever to get rid of him.

But on the 4th mystery island, I found the perfect replacement for Midge: Marina the octopus! I immediately asked her to move to Forest.

Today, Marina moved in, and I welcomed her to town.

Midge and Marina have quite a few things in common. They’re both cute, they’re both “normal” personality villagers, their names both start with the letter M, and they’re both pink! So all the pink flowers that I planted around Midge’s house still feel right at home.

But their similarities remind me of when Apollo moved into Keaton’s spot, and I didn’t have to change the name of Eagle Mountain.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed K.K. Etude for me, Apollo, and Louie. During the show, Apollo’s left wing looked like a large knife that was slicing through my arm. Ouch!

Shortly after that, I wrapped up my game for the night. See you all next time!
