Jeff's New Horizons Blog

When I visited Rio on Thursday, she was telling me about her TV.

She said that even though she watches some programs, her TV is mainly used for video games. Same here, Rio.

I wish there really were playable video games within New Horizons, though.

I helped out Gullivarrr by retrieving his phone, so he sent me a pirate beard in the mail yesterday.

Tonight, I started up the game expecting to find K.K. Slider in the plaza. However, he wasn’t around because there was a Bug-Off today…even though I played too late in the day to compete. Flick was there to tell me about the next Bug-Off in September.

Today’s Bug-Off was on the minds of several of my villagers though, and Midge asked how mine went.

Agent S said she saw a really cute bug during the Bug-Off, but she decided to let it run away and be free. 😛

On Sunday night, I headed over to Logan’s town Moonscar for his fireworks party. Sam and Matthew also joined in, and we greeted each other with ocean sunfish. But I soon found a Wii remote I stuck my face into.

Before long, Alex, Nami, Nicky, and Yann came over too. We headed over to the museum, where we played some museum tag and then got some coffee.

But the coffee shop smelled a bit fishy for some reason. Not the most appetizing place to drink some coffee.

Unfortunately, I got disconnected when my Switch overheated…but I returned a few minutes later. We hung out in the plaza for a while, and then we played a few rounds of sumo.

I actually won two of the three matches I participated in, which was unusual. 😛

Xavier came over, and we hung out in Logan’s house for a while.

It was getting late, so those of us who were still around took a group photo before Logan ended the session. I had a good time, so thanks to everyone who was there, and to Logan for hosting!

Yesterday, Flick was in town, and I sold him 287k worth of bugs.

Today, I found a message bottle that actually had a new D.I.Y. recipe—a hyacinth crown.

I already had the hyacinths I needed around town, so I crafted it right away.

Bob was sitting near Hyacinth Pond, and he looked cute when he turned back to speak to me. It almost made the worst line of dialogue in the game tolerable. 😆

That thought bubble you see in the background there? It was Static, who wanted to move out of town. I quickly squashed that thought. He’s going to be here a long time.

On Thursday, I encountered Pascal again. And this time, his words of wisdom were about being called “childish.” I’m just glad I’m still getting new quotes from him that I haven’t seen before. 🙂

Just a couple weeks after giving me a nickname of “Tater tot,” Bob already wanted to change it again yesterday. Now he wants to call me Prof. Pie.

“Tater tot” was so cute, and now he wants to call me Professor Pie?! It sounds like a Clue (or Cluedo) character who goes around murdering people with pie. Oof.

Rio was in Able Sisters, and they also had a jester’s cap for sale. Since the cap is very colorful, just like Rio is, I decided to buy it for her. I think it looks good on her…even if it doesn’t match the doctor’s coat. 😆

I recovered Wisp’s spirits for him, and he rewarded me with some dark-block flooring.

Tonight, I finally did something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I replaced the pink flowers near Bob’s house (which were pink for Marina and Midge, the house’s two previous residents) with some purple hyacinths.

At the plaza, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed The K. Funk. There was a good-sized crowd for a change; Louie, Agent S, Midge, and Static joined me for the show.

When I put some money into the bank, my account balance reached 66 million bells.

I posted my latest video, New Horizons Moments #22, today. Check it out if you’re interested:

Tomorrow, I’m planning on visiting Logan’s town for the fireworks festival. But I may not post the blog entry until Monday (or possibly later).
