@Eel I have a question as well. Is there a creepy set in ACNH like in ACNL? You know the coffins, tombstones and skeletons.

@Zuljaras I think I’ve seen tombstones and skulls already.

They’ll likely add more by Halloween.

@bimmy-lee It was my fault. I kept falling asleep and forgetting to open my gate. Once I open my gate, the dodo shows a list of friends with open gates. My bad

@HobbitGamer - Well, that’s actually good news. I was starting to think I had wait 25 days to find and recruit flamingo TSA agents before I could fly. I know what you mean about the gates. I messed around for a while before I tried to fly, and the whole time I meant to open my gates in case you wanted to visit, but I continuously got distracted and forgot. I’d like to see how you set up your orchards. Still no ladder. I have a pet tarantula though. I own those horrid things now.

@Zuljaras - I got a full size, anatomical skeleton on my first or second day. I have it right outside my house. It’s the coolest thing I have by far. It looks weird and unsettling because it’s an accurate human skeleton in a cartoon world.

@bimmy-lee Haha, it appears that @HobbitGamer's island was in total lock-down...

@HobbitGamer Extinct animals acting as border patrol/gate keepers?
Well, you learn something new every day...
(for clarification's sake: I've never used the "visit someone else's island" option in any of the previous Animal Crossings, so I probably would be just as confused, if not more, than @bimmy-lee)

On a side note: have you ever considered that you actually did not really "forget" to open your gate? It may just be a game in this case, but of course in real life, we're not really used to leaving our gates or doors open when we go to sleep, so this is so ingrained into our daily behavior, that it probably also extends into virtual goings on...

@Eel @bimmy-lee
Thanks! I was wondering if I could do the same creepy stuff like in the previous game

@Zuljaras Did someone say "creepy"!? : P What's the deal, are you guys visiting each other's Animal Crossing islands? I would definitely lurk behind trees & bushes on my friend's island if I could haha

The highlights of my days both yesterday AND today: I have not one, but TWO new baby cousins! Both on my mom's side, though from different sections of the family. One's a little boy and came literally a day before his actual due date; the other is a little girl and is here 2-3 weeks in advance. Everyone is doing fine. Definitely some good news I could use in a time like this. It'll be a bit before I get to see both of them (obviously), but pictures will suffice for now. ^__^ They won't be spoiled. At all.

Today is going pretty well. I played quite a bit of Link's Awakening this morning and am doing my internet rounds now. I'll be vacuuming in a little while, then I can say my bi-monthly house cleaning is complete for another two weeks! After finishing that, well....I don't keep alcohol in the house often, but my brother gave me a can of Mike's Hard Lemonade recently. After how crazy this week has been, I think I've earned it.

@NoUsernameHere Long time no see! I remember your nameless persona, though it has been some time. Welcome back!

@Woomy_NNYes No I only have ACNL. I just like creepy stuff in video games. Either dark and sinister or outright horror shows. Eerie stuff like graveyards in the Pokémon games. Weird stuff.

This will no doubt be me lol

@ThanosReXXX - You might say he’s practicing an extreme form of social distancing!

@NintendoByNature - Haha, yep, that’ll be you, or some version of it. This game has sucked me in so hard that I can’t imagine not playing it at minimum an hour a day. I’m not sure what I’ll do when we get back to some semblance of the new normal.

@bimmy-lee for sure. I just went thru the island party and woke up to the "first day." Crafted the most important tool, the fishing rod. All i did for 20 minutes was search for fish. Ended up catching a tin can 😂. My daughter can a few nice ones tho. I really haven't been able to dive in since my kids got a hold of it, but I will tonight.

@ThanosReXXX I can neither confirm nor deny that my character wears a surgical mask....or that I sent one in the mail to each of my neighbors, or that I wrote on my billboard to stay six feet away...

@Eel Same, I haven't left the house in a few weeks, been just chilling, watching anime, browsing the web and playing vidya gaymz which I guess I kinda did already before this stuff. Also Animal Crossing, that game has consumed me, haha.

I'm very happy that I'm fortunate enough to be working if not I would go insane inside my home. I'm not used to being inside my house doing nothing. I can read books, play games, etc, etc. But I'm used to doing that on a Sunday.

I had so much fun with Metal Gear Rising last year. There's no game like it (at least none that I know of).

@Tyranexx Hey, congrats on the new family additions. I hope they will remain safe, even in these rather harrowing times, and what with both being born too early and all.

"They won't be spoiled. At all"

As if any of us would have believed that, even for a second. Smiley wasn't even needed...

@bimmy-lee @HobbitGamer Covid-ception...

@NintendoByNature I see you're really getting the hang of the whole "purpose" of Animal Crossing, aka doing nothing what so f-ing ever, and just "being" in the game, chugging along, performing all kinds of menial things, and not even being annoyed in the slightest that there isn't any real goals to achieve or high scores to reach, let alone improve...

Either way, glad you're enjoying it, or at least: your kids are enjoying it, for now...

@Vinny You should try that new Animal Crossing game. I keep hearing great things about it, and you can even scare the crap out of your neighbors by placing realistic looking skeletons near their houses...

All kidding aside, though, you might want to look into Vanquish, which although not entirely the same as Metal Gear Rising, is definitely a very cool and stylish game.

@ThanosReXXX oh were all enjoying it. And thank you. I put in a good 3 hours today. Glad I got my own crafting table in my tent. Got my house being built tomorrow. Have a smoker, a hammock, a nice bonfire pit and some other good stuff. It's nice not having an agenda. Coming off of Owlboy( which i beat today), and final fantasy 7, it's great to just kick back and catch all sorts of fish lol.

@NintendoByNature Cool man enjoy the game. Sounds like you got a lot done already considering you just picked it up.

Made some paintings for the house. Time consuming but fun process:

@NotTelevision dude that's sweet. I have to figure out how to do that.
