Louie the Liar

At this point, it’s pretty rare for me to learn new D.I.Y. recipes. But I actually found a new one last Sunday! It was for some golden plate armor, and I found it in a message bottle on the beach.

SWEET! I learned a DIY recipe for some golden plate armor!

On Monday, Graham the hamster was camping in Forest (for the 2nd time). He’s kinda cute, but I certainly wasn’t about to kick anyone out for him.

Graham, at the campsite: Hey, you're a local, right? The name's Graham.

It was Rio’s birthday, so I made sure to attend her party. I made her some peach jam as a birthday gift, and she seemed to enjoy it.

Rio, at her birthday party: Wow! You got me some peach jam?! FAB!

June was also at the party, and she was happy to see me.

June: I wasn't sure you'd come, touchdown, but I'm glad you did, in my hair!

This was Rio’s third birthday party in Forest. Last year, Ankha was at her party…and it was Beardo the year before that. 😱

On Wednesday, Louie made a dubious claim. He said that he’s never had coffee before!

Louie: I've never had coffee before...but you're getting me pumped to try it, oh banana!

However, that’s not just a dubious claim; it’s a blatant lie. I’ve seen him having coffee at the Roost before! Busted!

Yesterday, I helped Gullivarrr find his phone in the sea. Today, he sent me a pirate wall in the mail.

Tonight, I attended K.K. Slider’s concert at the plaza. Sadly, I was the only one to show up. But K.K. performed K.K. Metal for me. It was a good show!

K.K.: Right on. I'm tuned up and ready to roll. Who's in the mood for a little K.K. Metal?

June’s Photo

On Wednesday, the three big furniture spots at Nook’s Cranny were all displaying wall or ceiling furniture! That’s something you don’t see very often!

Two wall items and one ceiling items on display at Nook's Cranny.
Can’t decide if it’s a good thing or bad thing. It’s still up in the air. 😉

Today, I crafted a mermaid lamp and then wrapped it up. I gave it to June, and she loved it! She even gave me her photo in return! 😍

June: I have something here for you... June's photo.

I took it home and put it on display. (I moved some NPC photos into storage to make room on these counters, though.) June’s favorite quote on the back of the pic is “Dream big, expect little.”

June's photo on display, next to Bob's. Other villager pics can be seen in the background.

It’s nice to finally earn her photo! As a side note, I like how it looks like Bob and June are looking at each other. 🙂

I later wrapped up my night with a performance by K.K. Slider at the plaza. He performed K.K. Milonga for me and Rio.

K.K.: Right on. I'm tuned up and ready to roll. Who's in the mood for a little K.K. Milonga?

I posted my latest video of online highlights today, Wi-Fi Moments #32. It features clips from my Friday Night Forest in late June, and from Sam’s party in August. I hope you’ll check it out!

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week:

  • Last Thursday, I sold 47 fish to C.J. for 648k. That’s a nice chunk of change.
  • Last Friday, I sold 25 bugs to Flick for 205k.
  • Last Saturday, K.K. performed “Space K.K.” for me in the plaza.
  • This Thursday, Flick was in town again. I sold him 7 bugs for 52k.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you next time!

Final Fireworks of ’24

Last Saturday, Pascal popped up out of the ocean to tell me that three gallons of ice cream is too much. I have my doubts about that, but I’ll let it slide this time. 😉

Pascal: Folks say you can't have too much of a good thing, but after three gallons of ice cream, it stops feeling true.

On Sunday, I headed over to Sam’s town for his fireworks party. Jac and Seolfina were also there. Sam, Jac, and I were showing off our ocean sunfish, and Seolfina said she didn’t have one. But moments later, she was fishing out something with a fin, and I predicted it would be an ocean sunfish. It was!

Seolfina catches an ocean sunfish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) for Nintendo Switch.

After showing off our sunfish and twirling our umbrellas, we played a little (outdoor) hide and seek. Seolfina was “it,” and she found Sam first. But then Sam ran into me, and tried to give away my location! He wasn’t even the seeker! I got a little aggravated. 😡😆

Using the "aggravation" reaction on Sam.
Snitches get…Switches?

After that, we went to the Roost for some coffee. Sam was too good to sit with the rest of us. 😛 But after we drank, I noticed that Brewster took Sam’s saucer away…but left the mug!

Brewster takes the saucer, but leaves the mug behind.

Of course, it disappeared shortly after that, but it was nice to witness a little lag or glitchiness. (Yes, I’m amused by things like that.) 😆

And here’s a picture of Sam, presented without context. 😛

Sam, engulfed in an ocean sunfish: I feel bad.

Moments later, Matthew came over to join in the fun. We posed for some photos with the fireworks in the background. 🎆

Sam ended the session shortly after that. Thanks for the fun, everyone!

On Monday, K.K. performed “K.K. House” for me, Louie, Ketchup, Static, and Rio.

Yesterday, the game’s title screen revealed Louie walking near a dead body! Did Louie kill some poor sailor? He sure fled the scene like he was guilty! 😉

Louie walks away from Gulliver's dead body on the title screen.

Today, Gulliver sent me another candy-skull mask…so I guess he’s not dead after all. Unless the letter was really from Louie, and the skull was Gullilver’s… 💀

Bruce the blue deer was camping at the campground. He seems pretty cool, and I wouldn’t mind having him at some point. But I’m not willing to kick anyone out for him right now.

Bruce: Heya! I'm just here to do some campin' for a spell. This sure is a nice island.

I found a couple of cool Switch items on Amazon: This joycon charging dock has four light bars that light up to indicate the charging status of each joycon, and these colorful joycon grips look really cool too. (As an Amazon Associate, I may earn a commission from qualifying U.S. purchases.)

Yesterday, I posted a new Forest Quick Comparisons video, comparing my towns in each game. Many categories have been updated (it has been two years since the last one, after all), and I’ve added several new categories too. I hope you’ll check it out!

I’ll see you all next time. Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
