On Saturday, I found Cube down on the beach. He was talking about the wind turbine, saying it spins so much that it makes him dizzy.
![Cube: I can't star at it for too long, though, or I start to get dizzy. Ugh, my head hurts now, on Toy Day.](https://www.jvgs.net/newleafblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/20240727_HNI_0051.jpg)
Except that the wind turbine was behind him, up on the cliff. He couldn’t really see it from here unless he completely turned around and craned his neck up to the sky. 😛

Yesterday, Inkwell asked for a new catchphrase to replace “in the sea.” I wanted his catchphrase to stay fresh, so I told him to say “in ink” instead.
![Inkwell: Hoo! The new me is gonna be irresistible, in ink!](https://www.jvgs.net/newleafblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/20240730_HNI_0060.jpg)
Today, I was visiting Rolf, and Inkwell was also at his house. Not only was Rolf wearing a spade tee, but he also had one on display right behind him. ♠️

I was even more amused when Inkwell seemingly made note of Rolf’s new obsession. 😆

Maybe Rolf will let us join his spade club if we play our cards right. 😉
Gulliver was down on the beach talking about the Manneken Pis and chocolate. So I knew he was headed to Belgium…and he’ll send me a gift from there.

I went down to the beach for a summer night fishing/bug-hunting expedition. Even though I do this more in City Folk, it can be fun in the other games as well. After spending about 40 minutes on the beach, I had a pretty nice haul: I caught four ocean sunfish, three regular sharks, two hammerhead sharks, a Napoleonfish, two horned atlases, three goliath beetles, two cyclommatus stags, and a horned elephant.
![I caught an ocean sunfish! My day is brighter already! 114.50 in.](https://www.jvgs.net/newleafblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/20240731_HNI_0072.jpg)
I made around 160k, give or take, although I’m not sure of the exact amount. Regardless, it was enough to bump up my savings account balance to 130 million bells!
![Your current balance is 130,000,000 bells.](https://www.jvgs.net/newleafblog/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/20240731_HNI_0073.jpg)
Today, I posted a new video taking a look at “co-exclusive features” in the Animal Crossing series. Basically, features that are in two of the core Animal Crossing games, but not the others. Like igloos are only in New Leaf and the GameCube game, or hide-and-seek is only in City Folk and New Leaf. I hope you’ll give the video a watch, and maybe learn something new about the series! 🙂
See you all in August!
I have great news! Pretendo is working on a revival server for ACNL. They will have Club Tortimer, visiting friends of course, and the private messaging feature.
They haven’t figured out a way to install Pretendo on a vanilla 3DS yet, but I’m telling you. You have nothing to gain and everything to lose by keeping your 3DS vanilla. Please just mod it, it’s super easy, hard to mess up, and will do you and the rest of the ACNL community a big favor.
