Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons (3/20/20: Switch)
So what Leif has today, will be there until next Monday? If so, then crap! Last week he had pumpkins and potatoes. Today, he has pumpkins and tomatoes. We already have all of those. I guess I will have to check out some islands to see if I can locate any wheat and sugar canes.
Also managed to unlock all the Vendors on that island. The fortune teller hasn't done much, in my mind, but I guess I should wait to judge. A little pissed cause that dude that deals art, I was surprised cause I heard all the crap about him, but literally the first three art items I bought when he visited my island, they all turned out to be legit, and I donated them to the museum, yet every SINGLE item I've purchased from him since (and I always buy the one piece max per day) have proven to be fake, so that's a bit of a piss-off. I need to buy more Storage at this point, but when I found out it would cost 500 000 bells I was like, "WTF?". I probably have 300 000 bells right now but I don't wanna spend that much right now, so I just basically put items all over my basement and attic, and sold off any duplicates or excess veggies or whatever I had in my inventory.
And I understand how it was explained about how those "special islands" become unlocked, and since I don't mess with the clock, I'll just have to wait, so oh well...At least I managed to catch a couple new fish that only showed up recently due to the shift from Fall to kind of the Winter Season (I know we're still in a transition phase when it comes to that)...But whatever, still manage to put in a couple hours each day while I continue to search Indeed for a new job (hope to find one before the Christmas season really kicks in...there should be retail openings but all I can do is wait and keep applying)...The game is a good distraction for those that are looking for work...Takes your mind off of things as opposed to checking your phone or e-mail every half-hour hoping you got a response for a prospective employer...
Wish every the best...

You might consider it cheating but:

Right now I have at least 5 statues and I think 3 paintings taking up space in Storage...

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons (3/20/20: Switch)
...Is there any way to get rid of the fake crap other than maybe taking them to one of those islands I visit through Nook Miles or that boat and just ditching them there? I thought I could put them in that recycling bin at Nook's place but you can't put stuff there, and obviously they won't let you sell them...Just want them outta my inventory cause they're taking up space but I'm not just going to put them outside somewhere on the island (which you can't do with the 3-4 paintings I have anyway)...Maybe I can give them to another islander as a gift? I guess that's one avenue I haven't explored, but I figured they'd also reject them...

Spoke too soon; got a statue from Redd today and it turned out to be legit so I was able to donate it. Also, dumped that excess art stuff in the recycling bin, as advised, clearing up around 10 spaces in Storage. Learned some new recipes, and got one for a Golden Sling-Shot, to go along with my Golden Axe and Golden Watering Can. Hoping tomorrow when Leif changes inventory he has some combination of Oranges, Carrots, Cherries, Pears, etc. Still only currently have Apples, Coconuts, Peaches, and Potatoes, and I think I've done every DIY recipe requiring those items alone, and just need some other fruits/veggies in order to craft more. I also noticed that since the last update, not a day goes by where some islander is inviting themselves to my home, and sometimes it's been 2-3 per day. They give you a gift each time, so that's okay, but sometimes I've started declining just cause it takes up time showing them every room...

Occasionally they do, but I'd say that's like 50/50. But I have had a few that, at least once you show them all the rooms, they peace out and ask to leave and I'm like, "Great.". But not all of them. Sometimes you just have to walk out the front door yourself before they leave...I guess the only good thing is that when you do that, they often send you a "gift" the next day...so it's not all bad...

I honestly think it depends if you've shown them all the rooms...(and that sucks if you have the attic and basement plus the others), but they will fuck off eventually...

BOO-YAH!. Spent the Bells necessary to get extra storage, as I was tired of having to constantly sell off items that I wanted to keep in my collection. Unfortunately, I went to Leif's and he's selling the same stuff as last week (Sugarcane and Wheat), so no new recipes this week, I guess. Bought a "Robot Arm", which is pretty neat. But not much else to do. Did the boat trip; another island basically the same as my own. Ditto with Nook Air Miles (I did these twice and neither island was different than mine). Went to Harv's and bought another piece of artwork but pretty sure it's like a 95% chance it turns out to be phone. Oh well.

Man, did two more trips using Nook Miles, and both were just islands with more Coconuts and Apples, nothing new. I guess I got a Gyroid fragment on the one trip, but I honestly don't care for those. I think I have like 20 of them in various rooms in my place but they really don't...I don't know..."appeal" to me. Some people love them, I don't. Was hoping to find that other fruit/veggies but I guess that'll wait.
On the plus side, in real life, I ordered a pizza/wings with some of my dwindling funds. Dude shows up. I have a fifty (that's all, I had no change). I'm like, "Why don't you come over later with change? Otherwise I can't take the order..." He gives me the order for free. Says, "Here, this one's on me." Boom. Free pizza and wings. Awesome. I know it's pointless to say that but I'm just thrilled...I even called the pizza company's number and just said what great service he provided...Pay it forward...

That’s kinda what I have right now. Basement walls filled with them and a jukebox playing tunes that they bounce around with.

OMG I HATED gyroids in the first game. Since they were unique the OCD in me didn't want to get rid of them. But then that was before there was any kind of storage. So I just had a basement full of those stupid things. Now they're actually kind of fun. The design is a lot better and less creepy looking and way smaller and I love that you can hang them on the wall to display them.
In other news, once again I did the boat thing and the Nook Travels thing. Both times? Nothing new. More apples and coconuts. Great. Whatever.
Trying to sell Zelda: BOTW, as I am almost, almost completely out of money. At least I paid my landlord/roome for December. But then again, he opens my door and rages about missing Vodka it turns out his girlfriend drank with her friends...so I don't know...I just remember being disoriented and being like "WTF?"...I had no idea what the prick was talking about...

Haha Let's hope Zelda sells. Outta money. Going to Co-O, as that store offers food to those that have none...Long walk, though...Damn...

… so, in ACNH the other night, my wife went hunting for a new villager and the first Plane Ticket took her to what we’ve dubbed “The Spider-verse.”
That little ring of an island spawned tarantulas left and right. She’s catch one right as another would pounce. In the end she caught 24 of them and invited Patty to the island.
A bonus happened when Flick happened to be visiting that day… so she sold them (and two wasps) for just over $300k.

Oddly (being The Cow), Patty was my first villager. I still have her and another cow (Norma) that I picked up early on.

Kind of off topic, but does anyone still play Animal Crossing on Gamecube version? I was feeling nostalgic for it so I am gonna pickup a copy. Thoughts?
