Ha, I've seen him twice! I commented to my wife that I think his crewmates are losing him on purpose. On one of the evenings i played I ran into Wisp as well- that was neat. For what it's worth, when you're far enough along (or if you're obsessively clear cutting Nook Mile Islands), you'll have more wood and iron than you know what to do with in the beginning of the game.

came across this on Reddit- https://comicbook.com/gaming/2020/03/27/gamestop-stores-closing-2020/

i figured out after seeing something online that if you have Nook's Cranny you don't have to take the 20% penalty if you sell stuff before they open. (My gameplay starts at 5am CT most days until I login to the office.) You can't sell the stuff, but you can sure as heck drop them in front of the store! I did that for a metric crapton of bugs/fish/fossils and made 30k bells for my trouble after 8am. i have one islander remaining to move in, but humming along.

slightly off-topic, but it's reported that NoA is not sending any Switches out that are in their repair depots as well until they have workers return to them. https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8261/session/L3RpbWUvMTU4NTMyODE1NC9nZW4vMTU4NTMyODE1NC9zaWQvZlVzZ3d5dUo2NkVJS05Nck9XTkFlWWs2Mm9qYWtYRU9lbElQSTE4ZWhLa0pCck9qUldJNFglN0VKZ1NBT0NHNVNuSThZczlwcVF6a2hRT0c2UEs4NVc1U1hCWFF4TkVwbkxZJTdFdVQzQXZWQXVxJTdFTl9oViU3RVRSQUtzbHclMjElMjE%3D (edited for linky from Nintendo)

oh now, i hardly think they were intending to be offensive. Go fish some when you have the time-

netops/secops here, im WFH but it's hardly a vacation. longer hours enabling folks to telework that don't plan well, and making sure our network doesn't buckle under the mass of humanity.

One of us! One of us!

so that'd be 2035- i fully expect by then the planet will be run by damn dirty apes and we'll be eating meals in pill form, right? Unless we end up with some holodeck-level stuff, i feel like we're going to see incremental upgrades to what's already out there- but i am hardly a prognosticator.

one of my co-workers had to go to three stores in his area (he lives in Michigan) to find one. I would say a lot of the issues probably lie with supply-chain- hopefully in six months or so things will even out.

Can I buy it at Safeway?

whaaaat, comments are turned off!

my wife time travels more than Dr Who. So far, we haven't seen Resetti in the game. I'm up to where I'm building a bridge, have my ladder, and am building houses for new residents.

also at least one of the stickers doesn't come off, leaving that papery gluey residue on the box.

uggh.. dont get me started on the iron, lol. i have like three rocks on my island. do yourself a favor and dont get all hopped up on fruit and break your rocks- then you have to wait for them to respawn.

see? I'm all over the place, lol.

So for my Modern Gaming time, again I'm all over the place. I poked around a bit in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon but was also playing some Borderlands 3. Because there was yet another sale on the Switch eshop, I picked up Chocobo Mystery Dungeon- I also ended up getting Animal Crossing after swearing I wouldn't, lol. As an aside, what is up with Nintendo Switch titles having these crazy long weird titles? Switch: Animal Crossing: New Horizons -- 900 minutes Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon EVERY BUDDY! -- 782 minutes Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX -- 248 minutes There's not much to say about the new Animal Crossing that hasn't been blasted all over the Internet- if you're a Switch owner, why do you NOT own this game? (I'm just kidding, of course.) I picked the game up like I mentioned above after swearing to my wife I wouldn't, but then I saw her play about 10 minutes Friday morning first thing. The game is fantastic and relieves loads of stress for me right now when I could use the escape from the sucky real world, lol. Controls are great, visuals and music and fantastic. If I had a (minor) gripe about the game, it's that my 'flimsy' tools are super flimsy. I picked up Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon Thursday because of the Square Enix sales on the Switch e-shop and apparently I can't resist dungeon crawlers (as is evidenced in the last two months probably of my game times). It's a neat game that takes the Mystery Dungeon formula and cranks up the difficulty level to 11- there is an insane amount of grinding required even on 'Normal' difficulty. I broke down and checked some FAQs out online because I was just getting plastered by the Phoenix boss. It also feels like a love letter to past FF titles since you'll see characters referenced plus music from a good number of the FF games is used for the soundtrack- my only gripe here is that its TOO DAMN LOUD and you have to adjust the volume in game. On Pokemon Mystery Dungeon i think i'm pretty well done with the *major* game play other than picking it up and playing here and there. I evolved my Pokemon Leader and did some of the post-endgame stuff. XBox One: Borderlands 3 -- 194 minutes Just dorking around some in BL3 and levelling up my Gunner. I might have some more time in on the 26th when the next DLC drops.

I may be behind the curve again, but I know Steam was offering some of the Tomb Raider stuff for free like yesterday.

not that i'm aware- they are pretty much just regular fruit like the others as far as i know. my island happens to have cherries on it, and my wife's had oranges- i visited an island using my Nook Miles voucher that had coconuts. I'm neck deep in real-world junk going on at work that really doesn't belong in this forum- so won't get to play right away this morning. I for sure will be wanting to take an AC break later this morning once things settled down. I did get a chance to check out the museum since it opened up today for me and donated a BUNCH of stuff i had clogging up my storage.

I've been spending my Classic Gaming time playing through the Street Fighter games- as from the last few weeks, they're some of my favorite 'mindless' games to play. The times are all round numbers since I was budgeting the time out right before bedtime. Arcade: Street Fighter Alpha -- 210 minutes Street Fighter Alpha 2 -- 210 minutes Street Fighter II Turbo -- 15 minutes Super Street Fighter II -- 15 minutes Street Fighter III: Third Strike -- 15 minutes

i calls em like i sees em!

we should all play cornhole together.

i'm in kind of the same boat. i really like just bumming around and fishing/etc since it's pretty low-stress for me (and mindless). the visuals and music help greatly, too.

i haven't been posting because i've been too busy playing! 😂 i told myself i wasn't going to buy it but i lost all my resolve watching my wife play her pre-ordered copy. It took me 10 minutes my wife had the one on the 3DS and played it quite a bit, but I really haven't played an Animal Crossing game since the GameCube. I absolutely love the new one- i keep telling myself that I'm only going to play for a little bit, then I end up catching another stupid fish or bug, and then I'm on the Nook Miles treadmill again. My wife has actually set down Stardew Valley for this, and she probably has 500 hours in the Switch version alone.

one would think, but....
