Month: February 2025

It’s official: The snow has melted, and we can see green grass once again! I celebrated by taking off my helmet for the first time in months.

Of course, the lack of snow means there are no snowballs around either. But I don’t think Drift got the message, because he was still asking me to catch a dung beetle for him! That’s impossible!

Saharah was in town, and she asked me to deliver some wallpaper to Mabel over at Able Sisters.

While I was there, I bought that flame shirt. I know it’s just the start of spring, not summer, but I figured it would help warm things up a bit.

Saharah also asked me to deliver some carpeting to Blathers. When I was done, Saharah rewarded me with a shoji screen.

Yesterday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO for the 3rd time in 2025.

When I gathered up the missing UFO parts and returned them, Gulliver rewarded me with a compass. Unfortunately, that’s the 5th time he has given me a compass. At this point, I think he needs to use the compass himself, to navigate to a better gift shop.

Tonight, Truffles asked me for a new outfit. I was standing right next to Able Sisters, so I decided to pop in and buy her something. I picked out a diamond shirt for her. (Imagine that, a pig wearing diamonds.) To my surprise, she actually liked it! She rewarded me with a doctor’s mirror. Maybe I should take a moment to reflect on both gifts.

I tried it on, but it looked kinda creepy…like my eye was missing or falling out.

I promptly took it off and sold it.

When I went into town hall, I found a blue retro shirt in the recycle bin. After that, I wrapped up my game for the night (and the month). I hope to see you all next week!

On Wednesday, I received an odd letter from Mom in the mail. She told me to “eat them, raise them, or sell them.” She then “clarified” (but not really) by saying that she’s not talking about my animal friends! So what was she talking about?

I got the answer when I saw the attached item: a peach. Okay, that makes more sense. The peach is a foreign fruit, but it’s not one that I needed.

Filbert asked me to deliver a letter to Tank, and Tank was nice enough to show me the letter. It was just as weird as you’d expect from Filbert:

When I returned to Filbert, he thanked me for delivering the letter. He also gave me a fairy-tale wall.

Yesterday, there was a new “Talking to Myself” message posted to the bulletin board. It was about having picnics by yourself.

Today, Curt started telling me a story about how he slipped on the ice and got snow up his nose! I like this story already!

But his amusing story took a sudden turn. It turns out that he was just shilling for Lyle (who was in town today) and his insurance company!

Don’t help out Lyle, man! They otter be ashamed of themselves.

Tank was talking about the brain freeze you get from a really cold drink, and he said it makes him feel like he’s getting “smarter and smarterer.”

Somehow, I don’t think that’s what’s happening.

If you haven’t seen my latest Wild World video, which I posted last weekend, here it is. It’s episode 74:

See you next time!

On Wednesday, Whitney told me that she never buys something just because everyone else wants it. She does her own thing, and dances to her own beat. I guess that makes her a real lone wolf.

Yesterday, I found Pascal down by the beach. He had an ocean-themed pun for me.

Speaking of puns, I recently uploaded a New Horizons Art Guide that includes a pun for every work of art in the game. I know not all of you play New Horizons, but any Animal Crossing player is going to be familiar with many of the paintings shown there. Check it out if you’d like.

Anyway, Pascal gave me a ship cannon before he jumped into the water.

When I ran into Curt, he surprised me some dialogue I don’t recall seeing before: He told me that his grandpappy was a paleontologist who found a bunch of rare bones!

Curt then spread some dirt about good ol’ grandpappy: Apparently he liked to snack on dirt!

I hope he at least washed it first. I thought Curt was about to ask me for a fossil, but he didn’t. The conversation just ended there.

I’m not saying Animal Crossing: Wild World is a weird game or anything, but a rhinoceros wearing a tuxedo just asked me if it was a good time to catch a cockroach.

Of course, I said yes. I mean, when isn’t it a good time to catch a cockroach? Tank then told me that even if he catches one, he’s not going to give it to me. Aww, how disappointing.

Today is Valentine’s Day, and I didn’t remember if Brewster serves hot chocolate for the occasion in this game. (He does in later games.) But I went to the Roost just to check…and he just served me normal coffee. Oh well.

Caroline asked me for some pink furniture, so I went to the shop to see what they had. The only thing that looked pink was this tulip table. I bought it for 1,520 bells.

I took it back to Caroline…and she refused it. It’s not pink enough for her. Oof. It totally looks pink to me, but what do I know?

Oh well. She’s not getting anything pink, then. Not even a valentine.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! I’ll be back with another entry next week.
