ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS

This has significantly increased the value of having two switches in the house

i finally visited another island (a mystery resource island, basically) and it happened to have the same native fruit as my own (pears). we eat a lot of pears here on Boneyarden

I'm telling you people, need to get on the poxyfule slack so we can share announcements of when airports are open

fun slacks < fun discords tbh (slack doesn't have killfiles)

honestly, i'm afraid that if i get on poxyfule slack i will lose any shred of productivity i ever had, whether working or free-time/creative hours

mark Brokelyn down as another pear island

i did manage to steal a coconut tree from the island i visited, though. hope it's not an invasive species!

whoa how do you steal trees

send me pears

xp

eat your mega native fruit, and attack the tree with a shovel

just looked that up last night so i could do some landscaping around the front of my house

and to steal coconut trees, of course

i built and paid off a house in two days, so i’ve decided i’m moving to this island in real life, it’s the only way i can get ahead in life now

Hey guys it ocurred to me that I am playing southern hem and y'all are playing northern, so we absolutely need to visit each other - opposite season fish and bugs! Right now I got seasonal cicadas, grasshoppers and such til end of March. Tombot I saw you online earlier but your gates werent open dammit.

Alas now I am working for the next 3 hrs.

Oh also I landed on a mystery island y'day and it had BAMBOO all over the place. I assume it will be a future very handy building material so I yoinked as much as I could.

y'all haven't lived until you catch an oarfish

Ive already caught a few of the rarities! Coelocanth, dorado and arapaima!

But New Horizons is also a seriously stressful game. Tom Nook increases your debt about a millionfold in, like, the first 20 minutes. Spiders sprint after you at breakneck speed. And don’t even get me started on how passive-aggressive some of the island’s citizens can be. (They should’ve called this game Crossing Animals, amirite?

wrong! incorrect! this is a chilled out game! it can be a stressful game, in the same way that meditation/yoga can be stressful fi you make it that way

however, the main point of the article is to teach you how to multitask, so i will put up with this nonsense and read on

man, fuck that article

and it doesn’t mention audiobooks/podcasts once

hope more nintendo items appear in-game. got some nice areas setup on my town now: a little beach hangout, a market with stalls, a swap shop... would like to move some residents' houses but it is spenny...

PRO TIP: instead of collecting items around the island and selling them to timmy one at a time, simply roll the rich fucker

lol

tap A to teach timmy a lesson about the real world

the second pic is very animal crossing

Heh.

My daughter has learned you can apparently travel to an island full of tarantulas, protect yourself with holes you've dug, and then harvest at will.

it really really annoys me that wallpaper covers up your windows

i want to change my wallpaper but it makes me claustrophobic

Windows vary by wallpaper, try out different ones!

I got the Super Punchout wallpaper. Paired with a dirt floor and a haystack bed. Weird lifestyle I’m leading on Dang Isle, land of ripe peaches

i got so used to the super punchout! wallpaper, my house was like a demonic hellhouse with the glowing oven

I still don’t have a goddamn ladder

i unlocked it late last night, just before i went to bed, and was so tired that i thought "what will i use the ladder for?"

now, it seems obvious!

you'll get it soon tomboto

I built the bridge then i located 2 of the new resident homes on a diff bit of the island not reachable by the bridge lol. I wonder how that will work.

Also, muttering "gotta remember to give that fish to that horse later" is a thing I say now.

I just unlocked a flooring and wallpaper that looks like a garbage dump. Need tires, cans, and old boots as materials. I’m so doing it.

the completed museum is seriously lovely, perfectly captures the tranquility of a nice lonely weekday museum trip. i'm happy for blathers

all museums should play the museum music

tom nook keeps giving me stones and now i have a billion stones. i’m sure he’s being passive-aggressive about this.

The museum is the best.

And now to relax after a hard days fishin and landscapin'

nice

ANYONE GOT THEM HIGH TURNIP PRICES?

the turnip lady (who has the rona btw) is into me for 170,000b at 90b a pop

the museum is so peaceful. nice when it is filled up too

visited an australian island earlier and managed to bag a lot of sharks...

love yr setup trayce!

i bought turnips for the first time. 102b/each, dammit!

i know the price fluctuates quite a bit - i guess i'mg going to sell if they get above 130 or so? is that too high of a threshold? i don't want to be selling them off on saturday night for 40b each, but even if that happens it's not the end of the world (OR IS IT)

I'm holding off for that sweet 200+b price point

could get a bit white knuckle towards the end of the week

apparently they can go as high as 600b?!
