OmegaTheMetamorphicDreamer Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I guess all the Water Well is meant to do is sit there and do nothing. Oh Well. 😛 From what I read Y Hibiscus Start is supposedly short for 'Yellow Hibiscus Starter', but I non't know why it wouldn't just be called that. Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Day 48: February 10, 2020 Opening Thoughts: Hello, everyone, and welcome! Today was a pretty quiet day, thankfully, after all the busy stuff going on yesterday. Speaking of which, last night I not only got enough rare bugs to pay off the rest of the loan, and start a new project, but I also caught a Hammerhead Shark, a Whale Shark, and a regular Shark! Go me! I donated them as fast as I could. Tasks Accomplished: Dug up a Pitfall, fossils [four old] Got almost all the bells from the bell rock Went to the ceremony for the Campfire project Sold amethyst to Pate Got Shopping Bag at the Campground Ordered Tacos, Roasted Dino Meat, and Pasta from Wendell at the Campground [finally a camper with food!] Started the Lighthouse Public Works Project Caught another Oarfish Harvested Bananas Found Gulliver, sent him to Hawaii Visited Pashmina's House Delivered a present from Pate to Pashmina Sold fossils, Bananas, Pitfall, Oarfish, and Snowflakes Worked at the cafe, got Superb Coffee Beans [thanks to using a guide...], and Siphon [it looks like an eggtimer fused with a radio...] Accidentally made a Snowman [I refused his offer of Bingo, and when he said, 'But...it's so exhilarating!" I said, 'No, it's annoying." Updated Kittycat Town Dream Visited Club LOL, traded a Banana for a Love Joke, which was...weirdly sexist... Paid off a LOT of the Lighthouse fund Played Desert Island Escape Items Received: Letter + Candy Gingham T-Shirt [from Pate] Sunset T-Shirt [from Pashmina] Daily Fortune #1 again = Mario Mushroom Mural Wallpaper #36 again = Airwing Yellow Rose, Red Cosmos [bought and planted] Popcorn Machine [from Elmer; that was from his house, so it's a great gift] Next Plans: Pay off the new loan Pay off the rest of the Lighthouse fund Figure out what to do about my clothing problem Closing Thoughts: All the fruit tree saplings I planted are growing nicely. Also, I think I may have the Snowboy figured out, but I don't want to jinx anything. I still have two weeks before the snow melts, so I might try getting the last ten items, or I might not. That's all for today! See you next time! Link to post Share on other sites
OmegaTheMetamorphicDreamer Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Congratulations on catching all the sharks! Roasted Dino Meat? So does that mean there are live dinosaurs in this world? Just from the name (Siphon) I wouldn't think it would look like either one of those things. I know full well what it's like for someone to insist on getting me to do something after I've already told them no. Now I'm kind of curious about the joke. But then, I imagine it's probably nothing worth repeating. Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Day 49: February 11, 2020 Opening Thoughts: Hello, everyone, and welcome! Today was another not too busy day.

KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Day 50: February 12, 2020 Opening Thoughts: Hello, everyone, and welcome! Today I played in the morning instead of the afternoon, but still spent ages trying to make perfect Snowboys. Tasks Accomplished: Harvested Perfect Cherries Harvested Durians Dug up a Pitfall, fossils [one new, three old; only six more to go!] Made preparations for making Snowboys Visited Colton's House Got fairly lucky with the bell rock Paid off a bit of the Lighthouse fund Caught Snowflakes Harvested Bananas and Coconuts Sold fossils, fruit, and unwanted items Gathered and sold Seashells Paid off a bit more of the Lighthouse fund Tried to make a perfect Snowboy Updated Kittycat Town Dream Caught some more snowflakes, some fish, and gathered more Seashells, and sold them all Delivered a present from Cherry to Elmer, got a Bath Mat in return [of all the random things...] FINALLY made a perfect Snowboy Items Received: Letter + Crayons and Jester Suit [from the Campground] Letter [from Elmer] Balloon Present: Balloon Clock Balloon Present: Balloon TV Balloon Present: Balloon Table Balloon Present: Balloon Dog Lamp Balloon Present: Balloon Lamp [I almost feel like it's redundant at this point to list every single present I get, since I still haven't got the last two i need] Edit: I completely forgot to add the Daily Fortune items, flowers, and items I bought! Whoops. Daily Fortune #9 again = Majora's Mask #28: "Cannons are much like toasters, though bread is bad for cannons." = Bullet Bill Blaster White Violet and White Rose [bought and planted] Pink Zap Suit [bought] Roman Helmet [bought] Next Plans: Keep making perfect Snowboys Pay off the Lighthouse fund Pay off the loan [this latest one for room expansion is ridiculously expensive; it'd take almost two nighttime Island trips] Closing Thoughts: I think I've got it all figured out now. Of course, I keep saying that, but I really mean it this time. I haven't decided what I'll do for the last three days before the snow melts--maybe make some Snowladies, or not build anything.

I'm two hours early today, for no particular reason. Tasks Accomplished: Dug up a Pitfall, fossils [two new, two old], and three new Gyroids [it looks like I miscounted the fossils, so there's only three left to get] Harvested Mangos Harvested Apples and Pears, and planted them Delivered Colton's lost mitten, and got a Crossing Shirt in return Sold Mangos, fossils, Snowflakes, Pitfall, and unwanted items Added the Gyroids to the exhibit Harvested and sold Bananas Gathered and sold Seashells Paid off the last of the Lighthouse fund Updated Kittycat Town Dream Visited Club LOL, traded a Banana for a Disagreement Joke Saved mail Paid off a bit of the loan Played Desert Island Escape Made a perfect Snowboy [boom ya!] Items Received: Letter + Snowman Lamp [from Snowboy] Letter + Vaulting Horse [from Colton; I must admit, that made me laugh a bit] Balloon Present: Balloon Clock Daily Fortune #24 again = 1 Up Mushroom #36 again = Airwing [enough already!] Director's Chair [bought] Outdoor Bath [bought; before you go all 'what the heck?', it's actually a tiny pond made of polished stones] White Lily and Yellow Violet [bought and planted] Melon T-Shirt [bought] Straw Umbrella Hat [bought; it looks like a giant basket hat] Sunny Parasol [bought] Heart Print Tight [bought] Letter + Ocean Horizon Wallpaper [from Nintendo] Next Plans: Keep paying off the loan Pick a new Public Works Project [the only one I want to make that's available is the Sphinx, but it's one of the most expensive ones] Try to catch a Stringfish Closing Thoughts: I'm going to make a big chart of all the bugs, fish, and sea creatures left to catch, and when they're catchable. What did we do without online guides? 🙄 That's all for today! See you next time! Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Also, I checked the wiki, and there's only eleven Daily Fortune items left to get. Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Also also, a day or so ago, I noticed an unusual flower near the cliff on the south-east side of town, and wondered if I had somehow made a super rare hybrid flower by accident. I was checking the wiki just now, and it turns out that particular flower, apparently called Jacob's Ladder Flower, means that I've got Perfect Town Status! I turned the game back on to check with Isabelle, and she confirmed it. Hooray! Hooray! The Sphinx will have to wait; tomorrow I'm making the Flower Clock. But where to put it? Hmm... Next to town hall would be great, but there's a bunch of Snowpeople in the way. Figures. Link to post Share on other sites

With that many fossils left, you could possibly get them all tomorrow. (Highly unlikely) Yay, perfect! Now you just need (I forget how many) more perfect Snowboys, and you'll be done with them forever! Maybe Colton thought it was a little too weird to be a horse who also has a Vaulting Horse. I wasn't thinking 'what the heck?' so much as wondering what the Outdoor Bath item was. And now I know. 😄 With that many Daily Fortune items left, you could possibly get them all within a week.

KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Day 52: February 14, 2020 [Valentine's Day] Opening Thoughts: Hello, everyone, and welcome! Today was a pretty fun day. I got some unexpected gifts, and even though I messed up on one part, everything else turned out alright. Also, Tommy and Timmy's shop will be closed tomorrow for renovations, so that's pretty exciting. Tasks Accomplished: Harvested Cherries Dug up a Pitfall, fossils [four old] Harvested Lychees Got 6/8 of the bells from the bell rock Went to the ceremony for the Lighthouse Got coffee at the cafe by accident [I thought that Brewster would give me Hot Chocolate to go if I selected that option, but it turns out it's a 'sit in and drink' sort of thing. Oh, well.] Got a Perfect Cherry Started Flower Clock Public Works Project Harvested Bananas and Coconuts Sold fossils, fruit, an emerald, Pitfall, and unwanted items Gathered and sold Seashells Made a perfect Snowboy on the first try [only seven more to go!] Updated Kittycat Town Dream Paid off a lot of the Flower Clock fund Visited Club LOL, traded a Bamboo Shoot for a Sleepy Joke Saved mail Reorganized Storage A Sent Letter + Desert Cactus to Colton, Letter + White Lily to Goldie, Letter + Cherry to Cherry, and Letter + Coffee to Cookie Sold Snowflakes, fish, and Seashells Rearranged flowers Paid off a bit more of the Flower Clock fund Played Desert Island Escape Items Received: Letter + Chocolate Cake [from Isabelle; that's such a wonderful gift! If only I could give presents back to her...] Letter + Snowman Clock [from Snowboy] Letter + Chocolate Heart [from Colton; well, that was unexpected! I was thinking I would get chocolate from Goldie.] Letter + Two Purple Shirt [from Roald] Letter + Spring Shirt [from mom] Balloon Present: Balloon Clock Lovely Paper [bought] Card Paper [bought] Desert Cactus [bought] Daily Fortune #6 again = Bathroom Stall [consolation prize...uh...] #17 again = Mario Block White Lily and Yellow Violet [bought] Checkerboard Skirt [bought again] Top Hat [bought again] Samurai Wig [bought; I've never seen a samurai with pink hair before] Next Plans: Visit the Police Station tomorrow Go to the K. K. concert tomorrow night Keep paying off the loan Pay off the Flower Clock fund Keep trying to find a Stringfish Closing Thoughts: So, my plan tomorrow is to get enough bells to pay off the fund, and then on Sunday I can use all the bells gained from Island adventures to pay off the loan.

OmegaTheMetamorphicDreamer Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I always thought you should be able to give presents to Isabelle as well. She deserves it, especially after giving such a lovely gift like that. Hooray! Great pictures! Your house looks amazing. The way that bookcase is positioned next to that doorway, it kind of looks like the bookcase slid open to reveal a secret passage. Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Day 53: February 15, 2020 Opening Thoughts: Hello, everyone, and welcome! Today was a fairly busy day, with some fun surprises. Also, Alfonso is hypothetically moving away tomorrow, but Isabelle hasn't mentioned anything yet, so we'll know for sure tomorrow. Tasks Accomplished: Harvested Perfect Cherries Dug up Pitfall, fossils [four old] Harvested Durians Visited the Police Station, got White Tulip, Red Cosmos, Checkerboard Shirt, Noble Shirt, and Blue Bureau [I kept everything except the last item] Worked at the cafe, got Normal Coffee Beans Got 7/8 ore from the bell rock Harvested Coconuts and Bananas Sold fossils, fruit, fish, a ruby, the Pitfall, Coffee Beans, and unwanted items Got Alfonso's Train Set at Retail [if he does leave, this'll be a nice reminder] Gathered and sold Seashells Sold ore Paid off almost all of the Flower Clock fund Added the Silver Slingshot and HHA items to the tool/trophy exhibit Updated Kittycat Town Dream Visited Club LOL, traded a Banana for a Sneezing Joke Got stung by bees [it bounced right in front of me, and I couldn't swing my net so I tried to run away, but it didn't work] Caught four bees Got bells from the bell trees Got a Minimalist Sofa and a Copy Machine from two trees, but didn't want either Sold bees, beehives, and unwanted items Paid off the last of the Flower Clock fund Saved mail Paid off a bit of the loan Played Desert Island Escape [I finally beat the target score for one of the levels] Made a perfect Snowboy after accidentally making several Snowmen Items Received: Letter + Snowman Fridge [from Snowboy] Letter + Common Wallpaper [from Goldie...thanks?] Letter + Robo Wallpaper [from Cherry; definitely not my type of wallpaper at all] Letter + Rock Guitar [from Colton; yeah! Although it clashes a lot with my brown string instruments, it's a nice gift] Letter [from Cookie] Balloon Present: Golden Slingshot Dig Site Floor [bought at the museum] Balloon Present: Balloon Floor [FINALLY! Only the Balloon Chest left to get] Heart Hairpin [bought] Mannequin [from Labelle; I think I'll put the Link costume on it; I kind of wish that the Fierce Deity Mask was a Daily Fortune item now] Knight Helmet [bought] Next Plans: Go to the K. K. Concert tonight Visit Joan the Boar tomorrow morning a get a couple Turnips [essential for catching an Ant] Get a haircut tomorrow Go to the Island tomorrow Pay off the loan Try to catch a Stringfish [part of the problem is that they only show up after 4pm, and they're super rare on top of that] Closing Thoughts: Only six more Snowboys to make. Phew. Tommy and Timmy's shop renovations will be finished by tomorrow, and from the looks of things, the Flower Shop is merging with it, so that's an extra exciting thing. After that, there's only one more renovation, and it's the hardest to get. I checked the requirements: 1) Spend 100,000 bells at the combined item-flower shop; 2) have 30 days pass after the item-flower shop opens; and 3) Once Gracie shows up in town, complete four perfect fashion checks [where Gracie will randomly select a style, let's say for example, historical, and you have to dress perfectly like, for example, a knight, or samurai, or something like that; now you know why I've been buying seemingly random clothes].

KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Edit: I almost forgot to get the weekly art from Redd! So I was all set to do that, except I noticed that I didn't quite have enough money. So I went and caught a bunch of fish [and found some more Balloon Present repeats in the process], and got way more money than I needed. I used an online guide to figure out which piece of art was real, which is good because I had otherwise narrowed it down to two, and wasn't 100% sure. With that taken care of, I decided to fish for a bit more, which turned into a lot more, and just as I was thinking, 'I'd better stop and go get supper', I noticed a huge shadow over by the waterfall. While having an internal freak out, I managed to stay calm enough to catch it. So...I FINALLY CAUGHT THE STRINGFISH WITH ONLY TWO WEEKS LEFT TO CATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAHOOO! I should've taken a picture of it, come to think of it. Oh, well. I can always go to the museum and take a picture of it there. Then I went and paid off a bit more of the loan, but that's not nearly as newsworthy. Speaking of Redd, sometimes I wish I could do this [not really]: http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/497-pockets/ Link to post Share on other sites

KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Day 54: February 16, 2020 Opening Thoughts: Hello, everyone, and welcome! So, I completely forgot about the K. K. Concert last night. Whoops. I'll make sure to put reminders on in my notebook more often. Today...didn't go as planned...at all. Tasks Accomplished: Realized that I only had 550 odd bells in my account, and started catching lots of fish Traded a fish for Cookie's Future Tank Top, but decided I didn't want it after seeing its...unusual colours Delivered a present from Cookie to Colton Fell into a Pitfall right in front of ReTail Sold fish Bought Roald's Flat Screen TV at ReTail [I really don't know why] Caught even more fish Saw a Balloon Present just as I was going into ReTail [it's so frustrating that Balloon Presents just spontaneously vanish once you go into buildings] Sold more fish Bought ten Turnips from Joan [they can only be bought in sets of ten, for some reason] Dug up fossils [four old] Harvested Apples and Pears, and put them in storage Got 7/8 bells from the bell rock Harvested Mangos Sold fossils, Mangos, and an emerald Donated the painting Harvested Bananas, and sold them Gathered and sold Seashells Updated Kittycat Town Dream Visited Club LOL, traded a Banana for an Agreement Joke [that one almost made me laugh; it's a miracle!] Saved mail Paid off a fair bit of the loan Caught and sold more fish Went to the Island, got a bit of fruit and two butterflies, and sold them Went to the ceremony for the Flower Clock Paid off a bit more of the loan Made a perfect Snowboy on the second try [only five more to go!] Items Received: Letter + Snowman TV [from Snowboy; oh, well--we're almost done] Letter + Painting [from Redd] Letter [from Pate] Letter [from Elmer] Mosaic Paper [bought] Bread Box [bought, and customized it to Cheese Bread] Balloon Present: Old Brick Wallpaper [what??? I was so sure I hadn't got the Balloon Chest before. Could I have got it and gave it away by accident? Now it'll be so much harder to get now that random furniture will be mixed in] Pyramid [bought; well, with this, I don't really need the Pyramid Public Works Project...] Daily Fortune #45: "An itchy nose is worth the sacrifice for a glorious upper lip." = Mario Mustache [er...what?] #26 again = Mario Pipe Yellow Lily and White Cosmos and Holy Start and Sweet Olive Start [bought and planted] Little Polka-dot T-Shirt [bought] Imperial Shirt [bought] Next Plans: Go to the Island tonight and catch rare bugs Pay off the rest of the loan Closing Thoughts: So, while I was running around trying to get fruit during a minigame, my mum came down and gave me a lecture on spending so much time looking at screens. I awkwardly explained what I was doing and why, and she said that 'there's a whole world out there, and one day you might look up from the screen and realize you've missed it all'. I felt like ending the Let's Play right then and there. So...I don't know. I haven't decided for sure yet. Alfonso is leaving tomorrow, so I guess the date given is sort of a 'last day to convince them to stay' kind of thing. I might send him the TV as a goodbye present. Also, if anyone who's following along has a copy of New Leaf, and happens to have a spare Balloon Chest lying around, I'm open for trading. I didn't end up having enough bells to get a haircut, after all that. That's all for today. See you next time. Link to post Share on other sites
OmegaTheMetamorphicDreamer Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I'm sorry things didn't go as planned today. An actually funny joke? That's amazing. I've heard, after watching Chuggaaconroy's Let's Play, that the jokes are almost always bad. Congratulations on finally getting the Snowman TV. Hopefully the rest of the perfect Snowboys will come easily. Sorry, but... I don't think mustaches are very glorious at all.

Tasks Accomplished: Harvested Perfect Cherries Fell into a Pitfall [is this going to become the new running joke or something?] Harvested Durians Visited Iggly the Penguin at the Campsite [his pupils are up at the top of his eyes...it's so creepy...] Gave a Durian to Cherry, got an Argyle Knit Shirt, but I decided I didn't want it Dug up fossils [four old], and three Gyroids Ordered Donburi, Imperial Pot, and Egg Table from Zippers at the Campground Dug up Friga's time Capsule and got a Melon T-Shirt [but...I already have one...] Got 5/8 bells from the bell rock Harvested Bananas and Coconuts Added Gyroids to the Gyroid exhibit Sold fruit, fossils, a sapphire, and unwanted items Gathered and sold Seashells Worked at the Cafe, got Superb Coffee Beans, and a Cream and Sugar Set Redecorated the Snowpeople Item Room [Finally!

It's taken me until today to realize how the Cafe minigame works. I honestly thought the orders were random. It works like this: Lots of Milk = Three Sugars Regular Milk = Two Sugars Little Bit of Milk - One Sugar No Milk = No Sugar The type of coffee preference might be tied to the villager's personality, but I'm not sure yet. I feel so silly for not noticing sooner. That's all for today! See you next time! Link to post Share on other sites
OmegaTheMetamorphicDreamer Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 That's okay. I don't know how the Cafe minigame works either. Chuggaaconroy might have explained it in his Let's Play, maybe. I don't remember. Honestly, I think ceeping track of everyone's cryptic preferences would be too much for me to handle.

KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Day 57: February 19, 2020 Opening thoughts: Hello, everyone, and welcome! Today was a busy day, as Wednesdays usually are. A funny thing happened this morning, though: I was walking around, and Colton came up to me and suggested the Pyramid Public Works Project. What're the odds that it'd be the next one suggested, now that I've got the fund set up for the Sphinx? Tasks Accomplished: Dug up Pitfall, fossils [four old] Harvested Mangos Got 7/8 bells from the bell rock Harvested Apples and Pears Found a fourth Jacob's Ladder Flower! Traded a sapphire for Colton's Metronome Got a Lantern from Goldie, but didn't want it [in fact, I think that might be the Lantern I gave her ages ago] Harvested Bananas Sold fruit, fossils, and unwanted items Gathered and sold Seashells Gave the Green Desk to Colton, and got a Sleek Lamp that I didn't want Gave a Cherry to Friga, and got a Boxing Mat, which I also didn't want [how the heck did she end up with that, anyway?] Made a perfect Snowboy on the third try [two more to go!!] Updated Kittycat Town Dream Saved mail Paid off some of the loan Visited Club LOL, traded a Banana for a Daydreaming Joke Visited Redd, got a painting [the Mona Lisa, to be precise] Worked at the cafe, got superb coffee beans [I'm so glad I've got all the preferences of my villagers and the shopkeepers written down in my notebook] Caught another Football Fish, and sold it Items Received: Letters + Donburi, Imperial Pot, and Egg Table [from the Campground; the Donburi and Imperial Pot are customizable, which is even better!] Letter + Snowman Carpet [from Snowboy] Balloon Present: Red Tile Carpet Balloon Present: Bass [since I already have one, I might give it to Goldie] Crater Paper [bought] Butterfly Paper [bought; I'm running out of room for paper, so I guess I should write some letters] Daily Fortune #12 again = Toad Hat #23 again = Mario Super Star White Tulip, Red Cosmos, and Blue Hydrangea Start [bought and planted] Leopard Pants [bough] Viking Helmet [bought; vikings didn't have horns on their helmets no matter how hard you want them to, game] Next Plans: same as yesterday Closing Thoughts: It's getting closer to Festivale Day, which is pretty much the Animal Crossing version of Marti Gras, so I'm pretty excited.

OmegaTheMetamorphicDreamer Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 You seem to be getting a lot of Mario items lately. What? Viking helmets don't have horns? I suppose next you'll be telling me that pyramids aren't tombs. 😛 Festivale Day does sound like it will be fun. I've only watched Chuggaaconroy's Let's Play up to the New Year event, so I still don't know what it's going to be like or even what day it'll be on. It wouldn't be as fun reading this Let's Play if I spoiled events to come ahead of time. Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Day 58: February 20, 2020 Opening Thoughts: Hello, everyone, and welcome! Today was a pretty relaxed day. I've decided that Friday night will be an extra 'hunt rare bugs on the Island' night, because otherwise it'll take two weeks to pay off each new loan. Tasks Accomplished: Dug up Pitfall, fossils [four old] and three Gyroids [one new, two old] Harvested Cherries Harvested Lychees Got an Upright Vacuum from Goldie [...is she saying that my house is a mess?] Got 7/8 bells from the bell rock Harvested Pears and Apples Harvested Bananas and Coconuts Put the Gyroid in the Gyroid exhibit Donated painting Sold fruit, fossils, Gyroids, and unwanted items [it took two trips to sell everything!] Gathered and sold Seashells Worked at the cafe, got Superb Coffee Beans, and a Coffee Grinder Made a perfect Snowboy on the first try [one more, finally, one more to go!] Updated Kittycat Town Dream Visited Club LOL, traded a Banana for a Cold Wind Joke [well, at least I now know the name of the little wind that blows when you lose an Island minigame] Saved mail Sent Letter + Bass to Goldie Paid off a good chunk of the loan Got a new badge from Phineas Reorganized a bit in the main room of my house Played Desert Island Escape twice, thanks to some extra Play Coins I had Items Received: Letter + Snowboy Statue [from Snowboy] Letter + Painting [from Redd] Letter [from Pate] Balloon Present: Balloon Closet Armour Suit [from Goldie] Daily Fortune #33 again - Pikmin Miniature Garden #11 again = Midna's Mask K.K. Lullaby [bought] Polka-Dot Low Table [bought] Wall Flowerpot [bought] White Cosmos and Yellow Tulip [bought and planted] Lady Palm Tree [bought; I'm seriously running out of space for plants, and, well, everything] Flame T-Shirt [bought] Flame Pants [bought] Next Plans: Go to the Island tomorrow night Keep paying off the loan Get the target scores for levels 3-7 of Desert Island Escape Normal Mode, then move on to Intermediate Mode Closing Thoughts: It took me ages to figure out how to play Desert Island Escape effectively, and that when Cookie uses her Sniff Out ability, the tiles that don't get revealed have snakes/centipedes, Pitfalls, or bee trees on them, so once I figured that out I stopped stepping on them and now I know how to avoid them. Cookie/Goldie, Elmer, and Colton are my go-to team now, and they've been working amazingly well; Cookie/Goldie because dogs have the Sniff Out ability, that reveals what items/food are on tiles near them, and Elmer and Colton, because horses have the Hearty Traveler ability, which lets them each move six places a turn. Also, I finally figured out how the cafe minigame really works. So, every villager is assigned a flavour of coffee that they like [Blend, Mocha, Kilimanjaro, or Blue Mountain], and then the amount of milk corresponds to the amount of sugar. As I mentioned two days ago, lots of milk equals three sugars, regular milk equals two sugars, little bit of milk equals one sugar, and no milk equals no sugar, and the reverse is also true. Thankfully each order is the same every time for each villager. So, for instance, when Cookie orders Blend flavour with no milk and no sugar, that's what her order will always be. I've got the preferences of my villagers and shopkeepers in my notebook anyway, so it's all good. Phew. That's a lot of extra text. That's all for today! See you next time!

Viking helmets don't have horns? I suppose next you'll be telling me that pyramids aren't tombs. 😛 Festivale Day does sound like it will be fun. I've only watched Chuggaaconroy's Let's Play up to the New Year event, so I still don't know what it's going to be like or even what day it'll be on. It wouldn't be as fun reading this Let's Play if I spoiled events to come ahead of time. Yet I still don't have a Super Mushroom. Hehe. 😀 Lucky you, I accidentally spoiled loads and loads of things by watching almost all the videos. 😓 I did skip most of the spring and summer videos, though, so that's something.

OmegaTheMetamorphicDreamer Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Speaking of vacuums, I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen any Daily Fortune items from the Kirby universe. Of course, now that I've pointed it out, the game stops giving you Mario items. I'm glad you were able to figure those things out. Hopefully that'll let you enjoy Desert Island Escape even more. Oh, so everyone's coffee preferences are always the same. That makes things a lot simpler than I imagined. 25 minutes ago, KuraTheChibiCrystalKitty said: Yet I still don't have a Super Mushroom. The RNG gods do like to taunt players like that sometimes. 26 minutes ago, KuraTheChibiCrystalKitty said: Lucky you, I accidentally spoiled loads and loads of things by watching almost all the videos. 😓 I did skip most of the spring and summer videos, though, so that's something. I was actually about to watch every one of his Animal Crossing New Leaf videos, but then I thought 'actually, I think I would rather experience these events from Kura's Let's Play first instead'.

OmegaTheMetamorphicDreamer Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 WOOHOO!!! I'm so happy for you, now that you're through with those terribly annoying Snowpeople! It would've been nice if the other versions of the 3DS and Wii U consoles had different minigames... But maybe that's too much to expect? I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites
