Month: August 2023

On Wednesday, I received this letter from Mom. It’s about the sounds of summer…and Dad.

Today, Goose’s replacement moved in: It’s Jitters the green bird. He looks like he just drank 15 cups of coffee. (And that might explain his jitters.)

Dotty has still been sick with a cold, so I gave her some more medicine Wednesday, and again today.

Saharah was in town, so I helped her out by delivering some wallpaper for Phyllis and Mabel. While I was in Able Sisters, I bought myself a dawn shirt. And since Wolfgang had been asking me for new clothing, I gave him my old racer shirt.

He rewarded me with a puffy hat, which I tried on briefly. I’m not a fan.

When I returned to Saharah, she had a third job for me. She asked me to deliver some carpeting to Blathers…even though we were standing right outside the door to the museum.

After I stepped inside and made the delivery, Saharah ultimately rewarded me with a Saharah’s desert carpet.

On Thursday, I received Goose’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Even though the UFO didn’t come at the first two opportunities, it surprised me with a visit after I came out of Nook’s shop! Despite not being prepared for it, I was able to chase it down and shoot it out of the sky.

After I recovered Gulliver’s UFO parts for him, he rewarded me with a mermaid statue. I already had one, so I didn’t need it.

Today, Tom Nook gave me a stomach update.

Actually he was just continuing his discussion about his previous life in the city, and the bitter memories that were upsetting him. It was about him being unprepared for life in the city, where he kept making errors and lost everything he had.

Wolfgang asked me if I’d rather eat mousse or fish and chips, but before I could answer, he told me that he hates them both.

There was another fireworks festival underway, and Peanut said that it would soon be reduced to memories of smoke and ash. And then she started talking about…her own death?

And Eloise said she’d like to look down on the fireworks from above.

Sure, why not? She looks down on everybody else.

At the Roost, K.K. Slider sang me a lullaby. And I think it worked, because I ended up taking a nap after I was done playing.

Dotty was sick with a cold tonight, so I gave her some medicine.

Goose’s replacement has not moved in yet, but that will surely happen next week. See you then!

On Wednesday, Pascal was standing on the shore. When I spoke to him, he wondered what would happen to a sailfish that didn’t know how to sail.

Yesterday, Goose wanted to sell me a classic bed for 3,000 bells…and I was obviously not interested. He got mad, saying I’m supposed to buy it off him because I’m his friend.

Tonight, the fireworks festival was underway. Mayor Tortimer was standing outside of town hall, and he gave me a sparkler and a Roman candle.

Eloise was hanging out around there too, and she said that listening to fireworks relieves her stress.

Really? A bunch of never-ending, loud, Earth-shaking explosions right above your head makes you less stressed?

But no doubt the fireworks are a pretty sight to behold. As pixelated as they may be at this resolution.

Dotty, however, did not seem to share Eloise’s sentiment.

Goose was all packed up and ready to move out…and I decided to let him go. He’s been annoying me lately. I guess I’m not a fan of jocks in Wild World, even though I like them in most of the other games.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed K.K. Rockabilly for me.

Before wrapping up my game for the night, I went bug-hunting for about ten minutes. The fireworks and festive atmosphere provide a nice backdrop for bug hunting.

Update: I posted a full gameplay video of yesterday’s session:

See you next time!
