Having the cherry blossoms season and the bunny day event at the same period is not working for me much. I have duplicates of most bunny day DIY recipes now and barely any cherry blossom DIY recipes. This is unfortunate because the cherry blossom stuff are the ones I'm more interested in crafting.

How strange would it be if you had to buy a new console+game to be able to replay, or just let your sibling play Super mario odyssey..?! Ludicrous! Oh wait..Animal Crossing does that.

How strange would it be if you had to buy a new console+game to be able to replay, or just let your sibling play Super mario odyssey..?! Ludicrous! Oh wait..Animal Crossing does that.

Could have loved this game, but apparently I would need to pay about 460usd MORE to do that since I can't have my own island or even engage in main quests as I'm not the island resident representative, even if I have my own nintendo account. Have never seen this type of constraints in a game, and I find it very problematic. Microtransactions seems like a saint compared to this.

AC have the possibility to be a game that we continues to play and enjoy for years, but as it is now it can only be enjoyed by one person for a limited time. Would love to see the possibility of building different islands with different themes (with different accounts) and living on the same island with same, or at least similar, conditions as the other players.

So, it turns out you are not limited to rainy days when hunting down coelacanths. Caught this guy on a bright sunny day.

Preparing for my attempt to catch a stringfish later by scouring the beach for clams during work breaks. I hope I'm not too late.

Good day for fishing. Three oarfish in a row followed by a tuna, all without bait. Lots of red snappers and barred knifejaws as well, for some sweet sweet bells.

So I set the plot for the Able Sisters yesterday, and it was being built today. Then I was trying to invite Zucker, but he wanted me to make him something that took 5 cardboard boxes, and I had no way to get more today. So I decided to skip a day. (Zucker asked for a different item, but now …

So I set the plot for the Able Sisters yesterday, and it was being built today. Then I was trying to invite Zucker, but he wanted me to make him something that took 5 cardboard boxes, and I had no way to get more today. So I decided to skip a day. (Zucker asked for a different item, but now I have a pile of cardboard boxes that I'd ordered...)

Anyway, clothing store opened, and if you have an NSO membership, you can upload/share designs. Only thing is...you can only search by design or maker ID, so you can't just browse stuff. :( I uploaded my Yuna design, though, so if anyone gets to that point in the next few days and wants it: MO-6LR0-GF2T-2848

Edit to add that I found this listing of amazing designs.

Did not get to finish all that I've planned to do but got to visit other players' islands for the first time and play with some friends, and that was tons of fun. Maybe I'll sneak some more playtime before bed.

So I got the campsite yesterday, and Curly the pig (bleh) was my first visitor. Had to invite him so that I can start using my Amiibos cards.

I had also set out a new house plot, and today I saw it had sold. I was like, "Oh, no, let's see who it is..." OCTAVIAN. I AM SO HAPPY. I've …

So I got the campsite yesterday, and Curly the pig (bleh) was my first visitor. Had to invite him so that I can start using my Amiibos cards.

I had also set out a new house plot, and today I saw it had sold. I was like, "Oh, no, let's see who it is..." OCTAVIAN. I AM SO HAPPY. I've gotten two of the three (unless they've added more) octopus villagers just by chance. I'm just gonna have to invite Zucker to have all three, and then of course my Filbert. Ahhhhhhh!

(I'm wondering if having my Pocket Camp connected is a reason for this. I was stunned when I got Marina in NH, but she's my helper in Pocket Camp.)

Right now it feels like I’m never going to play another game now that New Horizons exists.

I made Yuna's outfit!

I've fiddled with the patterns on Animal Crossing before, but I've never attempted to do something this intricate. I was looking at a template of the front at first but it was missing a lot of details and wasn't really accurate, so I ended up just going ahead with it on my own using a picture …

I've fiddled with the patterns on Animal Crossing before, but I've never attempted to do something this intricate. I was looking at a template of the front at first but it was missing a lot of details and wasn't really accurate, so I ended up just going ahead with it on my own using a picture of Yuna.

I had to put part of the obi on the sleeves to give the bow effect. That was an interesting part of the process.

I'm pretty proud of how it turned out!
