Today is Bunny Day, and Sasha said that he loved the event. He said he’s looking forward to the day when he can thank an egg-laying bunny for making it such a special day. He clearly hasn’t met Zipper yet, or he wouldn’t feel that way.

I went over to speak to that evil creature, and Zipper told me to bring him one egg of each kind. He gave me ten stone eggs to get me started.

When I returned with eggs, he first gave me a Bunny Day wand for making all of his recipes (in previous years). He then gave me a Bunny Day basket in exchange for six eggs. After that, he just offered to trade one type of egg for another. Fortunately, there was nothing else I really needed to do with him, so I felt free from any further Bunny Day obligations. 😛

But Zipper wasn’t the only frightening creature in town today: Beardo has now moved in. I went inside to greet him, and he told me something very interesting: He came from Logan’s town of Moonscar!

Logan told me that Beardo actually moved out of his town nearly two years ago (May 2020), so he’s been in limbo for quite a while!

Shortly after 9:30 tonight, I dressed up in an egg outfit and headed over to Logan’s town for his Easter party. To thank Logan for giving me Beardo, I may have pooped on his beach. 😛

Timo, Nami, Nicky, and Matthew were also at the party. Logan had an area that he made to look like the town tree from New Leaf, so we took a group photo there.

But Logan didn’t just make a town tree, he pretty much recreated all of Main Street from New Leaf! Here’s a look at Kicks, next to Able Sisters.

He even had Digby at the entrance to the Happy Home Showcase.

After we checked out all of Main Street, Logan had us hang out in the museum while he hid eggs for an Easter egg hunt. Once he was done, we went out to search for eggs.

I found 26 eggs, but Nicky found 39. 😛 For Round 2, Nami hid the eggs while the rest of us made egg puns in the museum. Once the round started, I only found 11 eggs and I lost the game. 😛 Logan found the most.

After that, we had a brief net fight and then we attacked/annoyed Zipper.

Several clips from tonight will make their way into the next Wi-Fi Moments video.

See you all next time!

With Admiral leaving on Thursday, I scanned the amiibo card of my favorite ostrich Rio on Thursday night. For some reason, it takes three camping visits to invite an amiibo villager into town in New Horizons instead of just one like in New Leaf. Even in New Horizons, it only takes one visit if it’s a regular camper…so this three-visit requirement for amiibo villagers makes no sense to me.

When Rio arrived at the campsite, she asked me to craft a wooden box for her. I did it immediately, and she gave me a do-rag in return.

Yesterday (Friday), I invited Rio to the campsite again. This time, she asked me to craft a birdhouse for her. I made it for her, and she gave me a tiny party cap. She said after one more visit, she may be ready to move in.

Ketchup surprised me by wearing my block pattern; that’s the square that I use for my sumo ring!

It isn’t really meant for clothing, but I apparently displayed it at Able Sisters at some point in the past…and forgot about it.

I then surprised Ketchup by giving her some French fries! 😛 🍟

Today, my plan to adopt Rio hit a snag. A major snag. A big, hairy, ugly, infuriating snag.

Warning: Rant Incoming

Let me first say that this 3-time camping requirement is incredibly stupid. If the moving system was more like New Leaf, where the 10th spot won’t auto-fill with a random animal, I could understand it more. But this game typically only gives you one day to find a 10th villager. And you can’t have an amiibo camper visit three days in a one-day span! It’s asinine!

The fact that I’m getting Beardo is just adding insult to injury. He’s one of the ugliest villagers in the game, and I really, really dislike him. I would rather have Rizzo back than have Beardo, and I’m being 100% serious about that.

I know some of you may be thinking I should just scan Rio again to force Beardo out after one day in town. But in a lot of ways, I’m kind of a purist, and I hate the idea of forcing a villager out…especially when it’s done with an amiibo card (as opposed to a random camper).

So I guess I’ll just make the most of it. Forest will have a new villain for the first time since Rizzo left, and I’ll be sure to use some pitfall seeds on him. I’ll try to have fun with it. And eventually, Rio will move in.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight. I told him I was feeling a little blue, and he performed K.K. Waltz for me, Louie, and Agent S.

I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow.

On Tuesday, Wardell told me that I can place a special order from his catalog. Apparently, I can order any items that I use for designing homes? It seems to let you choose any color variation of each item from the start, so that is helpful.

Update: His prices are in Poki after all, not bells, as I first thought. Sorry about the mistake if you saw this entry when I first posted it.

Yesterday, I posted a new video. I turned my castle into an Animal Crossing museum, highlighting some features and special characters that were introduced in each game. It’s a short video, so I hope you’ll give it a watch.

I also updated the dream version of Forest, so that you can check out the museum yourself by visiting dream address 6717-1633-3682.

I recently got my first two packs of Series 5 amiibo cards, and this is who I got:

• Pack 1: Harvey, Marlo, Reneigh, Rio, Quinn, Frett
• Pack 2: Niko, Sasha, Shino, Chabwick, Tiansheng, Zoe

I got some good cards! And almost as if on cue, Admiral surprised me by telling me he wanted to move out of town. I never really wanted him in Forest to begin with, and I’ve already received his photo, so I had no qualms about letting him go after just three months.

Niko has taught me how to make marble pillars and island counters, and then gold pillars/counters as well. I have now learned all of Niko’s D.I.Y. recipes.

Today, I went in to say goodbye to Admiral. Good luck wherever you end up, Admiral!

Jolly Redd’s ship was in town, but he didn’t have any art that I needed. So I bought another fake ancient statue for my collection. 😛

Sasha was telling me how much he enjoys spring. He described it as “green fall.” 😛

I’ll be scanning a Series 5 amiibo card tomorrow, so I should be getting a new villager soon! 🙂
