My poor little boy (5 years old) spends all his time fishing to make bells and then gets told by that bastard Nook that it will cost 200,000 to build a bridge for the island and 500,000 to extend his house. Crafty old Racoon.

I had a short conversation with my mrs about planting stuff in the garden the other day, and it took me a little while to realise I was talking about our actual front garden and she was talking about Animal Crossing. She's fecking obsessed with it at the moment.

I'm not getting into it but it looks good, they seem to have added loads of extra stuff to do. Tom Nook is one gangster motherfecker.

I traded this in. I realize I'm in the minority here but I just fecking hated it. Being able to do feck all for days while you wait for stupid rocks to reappear so you can stand a 1 in 3 shot at getting iron fecking nuggets. Feck you.

When I went into Cex with it they were shocked. First copy they got :lol:

I don't bother with hitting rocks anymore, little things like that don't seem worth my time. Even digging up and burying money trees seems too much effort now compared to turnips etc :D

Wait til said racoon charges him to build a new house then goes behind his back and invites some non descript creature to live in it.

I've just had thunder and lightning for the first time it looked really cool

I'm also really enjoying having the sharks available, I've caught each type but it's still a nice treat to get one adds variety to the usual stream of constant sea bass

Still need the Gar also no goliath beetle yet I've just planted even more coconut trees to try and encourage it to spawn

Also no flies despite having a few cans and those bin bags you can craft all grouped together.

That's my wife's house. I've not gone for a bathroom. Got a big music room upstairs, a grand piano in another room and just got the basement today, so it's empty.
Ah! My girlfriend has a tent set up and then abandoned the game so that’s fun for me to have sitting there.

But he's so cute :( I'll have to buy an Amiibo card or something of him on eBay so that I can get him in the future.
I mentioned this before, but Google tagmo and animal crossing amiibo bins. Order some ntag stickers off ebay and you'll be able to invite whoever you want to your campsite. I got Lionel that way.

It seems a bit confusing from my very quick Google, but you need a phone with NFC?

That's a shame. It's come in hamdy for me, and I've never used it for anything daft like paying for stuff either!
I see there's a USB adapter called Power Saves that allows you to spoof Amiibos, but I don't know if I need it, I've literally never thought about Amiibo's until now.

Anyone helped out the stoner dog with his tasks? I took the worst wedding photograph ever, in a dark room with wedding benches facing all kinds of directions.

Baffles me how people can get into a game that’s so boring. Looks like a modern day version of the tamagotchi which I was also bored of within seconds back in the 90’s - oh yeah I let that Dino starve, the boring feck

I’ve seen a code you can buy on amazon for just under £4 that gives you 3,500,000 bells. Is this likely a scam?

I've done 2. They had no guests at their wedding as it wouldn't let me summon the villagers from my island. I've done a ceremony one and a reception one

It's too boring to do every day I'm doing every so often if I have nothing better to do. The museum stamp rally repetition was bad enough I did that every day as you could at least just run round.

The prizes are also not good enough to give me the motivation to take part if they were I'd consider taking part more

Probably is, making money is easy, spend any spare time you have fishing, save the profits and then spend them all on turnips

just look for high prices to sell at, people post their prices in here, theres also a subreddit for turnips and turnip.exchange too

i have bought turnips once and have over 12m in the bank from it

I've got Ozzie in my campsite and I want him to stay but he only mentions replacing Rex :( I don't want Rex to go.
when he mentions replacing a villager dont go any further with the conversation unless its someone you want to lose, you can just hit the home button and close the game with x before it has a chance to save, reload the game then go back to the campsite and cycle through the conversations again until he chooses somebody else to leave

ive managed to replace two or my daughters villages this way, its a bit of a grind but does the job

Yeah I'll have to remember for next time that happens. I kinda feel guilty though thinking of getting rid of anyone or letting someone leave, I feel like this is my OG crew :lol: I wish we could add an extra island or something.

Been working on a little project on my island after clearing a whole area. I've been finding removing a lot of the higher levels in your islands really frees up space.

Also Buck and Melba have both moved out. I'm getting Pate and Vic in tomorrow I think. Buck left his 50 inch wall mounted TV so I'm well happy with that.

I decided to leave it to chance when a neighbour moved out and see what replacement came in. Annoyingly it's yet another hamster. The insipid Flurry. Gah.

I cannot stand Flurry. She was on my island for a bit.

Her house creeped me out too.

Has anyone managed to catch a fly yet? I've had a pile of trash down for a while which I dont really want as it isnt pleasing to the eye but no flies?

I even stood around a bit waiting for it to spawn flipping Pashmina kept walking right by the trash so no hope it would have spawned and she wouldn't get out the way so I pushed her onto the jetty and stood right in the way so she couldn't get out

Ugh. I knew I should have kept inviting people to the campsite.

I went to a mystery island to see who would spawn there, and what were the odds that I would get one of only two villagers who had moved out of our village already. Bloody Renee. She pretended she didn't know me as well. The horrible cow threw me a birthday party only weeks ago!

Ha. I did manage it eventually. Bought a turnip to rot and it attracted the ants and flies. Annoyingly, if you try to net it when both have spawned, the fly escapes and you just get the ants. So you have to scare away the ants near their hole and the fly remains.

Ah ok I'll give turnips ago I've got the ant just need the fly. I've got a batch of 10 turnips left so unless the turnip prices are good tomorrow I'll let them rot what did you do while awaiting it to spawn? General chores etc keeping checking back or did you just stand their

How awesome of your work to recognise your designs like that :)

Unfortunately, it takes a while to rot. I think if you take one out of your bunch of 10, that will do it. Once Sunday's over and Daisy May has gone, I think it turns rotten then.
