A few nights ago, Merka decided to sell her town to Tom Nook and start over. I let her drop off some items in Forest until she got her new town up and running. Thankfully, she limited it to a few thousand of her most important possessions.
While visiting a dream town, I ran into Francine. And this bit of dialogue really fits the idea that she’s a human wearing bunny ears. She has to keep convincing herself that she’s a rabbit named Francine!
I’ve been playing some more of Animal Crossing Puzzle League lately. That included playing the Story Mode on the hard difficulty.
It was much harder this time, and I lost to Isabelle a few times. But on the bright side, she did offer me a job as a secretary. 😛
Unlike the normal story mode, in which I didn’t have to continue at all, I had to continue many times in hard mode. The final battle against Cornimer was particularly difficult. He kept beating me before I even had a chance to get going. Probably the most frustrating part of any Animal Crossing game for me. But eventually, I beat it. And now I probably won’t play story mode again, haha.
Anyway, I got a letter from Nintendo in the mail the next day. They sent me a fruit-panel umbrella for completing the story mode on hard.
Merka picked up her items and she’s getting settled into her new town Muffy. She even got Drake to move into her town randomly–he is one of her favorite villagers. Good luck with your new town, Merka!
Tonight, Julian told me he was planning on moving out of town on November 28th. I’m planning on giving him to Merka, although I’m not going to avoid talking to him, so it’s still possible he could change his mind about moving.
It seems that P&P Emptorectum was having a liquidation sale today. 😉
Even though those items are #1 and #2 on my shopping list, I’m having a cash flow problem. Well technically I have the money, but I don’t want to drain my wallet any further.
Just before wrapping up my game for the night, I heard a balloon present flying overhead. I shot it down and got a free backyard pool from it.
My recent dream visitors have been Kaitlynn from Rebelïnk, Chris from Nova, Hazel from Milkyway, Felipe from Mii Town, and Presley from Piano. Thanks for tuning in! And have a good weekend, everyone! 🙂
When you find him doing this, talk to him repeatedly (by choosing the “Hey Harv!” option) and he will give you some beans! The beans were previously unavailable in America.
Feeding the birds is fun! 🙂
A message posted on the bulletin board warned of upcoming snow flurries! Oh no, I’m not ready for winter!
My favorite part is that if you use the Shrunk Funk Shuffle in the water, you are (temporarily) immune to jellyfish! They will pass right through you!
Today, one of my initiatives was to spend 150 bells at Leila’s “shop” on the island.
That struck me as weird, because you can’t spend bells on the island. Leila will pay you bells if you sell her some fruit, fish, or bugs, however. And that seems to be what the initiative means to say. Selling 150 bells worth of stuff let me successfully complete the mission.
Of course, Leila pays next to nothing, so this initiative may not be worth the effort. Especially when you consider it only earns you one MEOW coupon. Me-YOWZA!
Up on Main Street, I spotted Tom! I wasn’t expecting to see him yet until I had another villager move out. So either I was mistaken and lost track of someone at some point, or the update changed how many villagers appear on Main Street.
Shortly after 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Merka and Mike came over, and we took some pictures by my FNF sign.
We made some references to carp blood throughout the night, and it’s because of a joke Merka and I made 
Beth also came over to visit, so I had a full house. We went over to the drive-in campground and hung out there for a while. I noticed that when you toss beans at the campground, they don’t fling out as high.
I later tested it out back in town, and they shoot out high and far in town. Just not at the campground.
While we were at it, we also tested to see if the horns of different RVs sounded different. Booker and Isabelle were both at the campground, but sadly, the horns sounded the same. That would have been a nice touch if they each had a unique sound. Like maybe Booker could have a deeper honk, and Isabelle’s could be more cheery. No big deal though, of course. I realize Nintendo can’t put an infinite amount of details into a free update. 😉
I really enjoy the campground during online play. It’s such a great place to relax and chat.
We talked about how good it would be to have a new Animal Crossing game on Switch, where we could use USB keyboards to communicate again. That would be infinitely better than the on-screen keyboard in New Leaf. I wouldn’t even mind if it was basically a port of New Leaf / Welcome Amiibo with some new features added. That would be better than waiting another five years for a new game.
We went outside to the geyser and celebrated at 11:11 on 11/11.
We continued to discuss Animal Crossing, particularly the recent update. They patched the net glitch, yet there was one thing they didn’t fix: The extremely short span of time that a message is on-screen! It’s still only five seconds, which is far too short. That’s not even enough time to walk through a doorway.
Mike wanted to catch up with his former villager Julian, so we all started a search a party for him. Eventually, we found him hanging out in the art gallery with all the naked statues. And I noticed he wasn’t wearing any pants.
This valiant statue looked like a slingshot. Or then again, maybe the wings look like my arms.
Merka went away for a bit at one point, while Mike imagined a GameCube version of New Leaf. We started using love emotions, and the sound of it was quite funny. I just imagined what Merka’s reaction would be like when she returned to the sound of this lovely alarm.
After that, we started quoting
