Today’s game is Animal Crossing New Leaf. I apologize for the abysmal compression. If i had known the screenshots were going to come out like this i would have picked another game entirely.
Me and a friend decided to play this because it got Pretendo support. For anyone not in the know, Pretendo is replacement servers for the 3DS and Wii U. I never played it much growing up, and the only reason i have a copy really is because i got it bundled with my 3DS i bought from GameStop years back. But i wanted to give it a shot because i had this itch in the back of my mind to play it. I guess i was just really in the mood to run a town of animals.
As soon as i opened my gate to my friend, he left this note for my villagers. For context, i do not have a good track record when it comes to games like Animal Crossing. I always end up dropping them after a day. We’ll see though with this, the new year has me motivated to keep up on this and also finish my second Pokemon Platinum playthrough.
Isabelle isn’t making it easy though. Everytime i try to do a mayoral duty she wants to stop me and make me do something else. It’s like “Do you know how to use a shovel? You should go learn how”. Isabelle, it’s a fucking shovel. It’s not rocket science. Please for the love of god just let me do my job.
Besides the government struggles though, i went down to the beach and went shell collecting for some money to pay off my house some. When i went to pay part of it off though Tom Nook was closed, so it looks like i’ll have to do that tomorrow. That’s all really though. I went and planted some Cherries before going off. I wanted to clean up my 3DS after a while away for a fresh install, which seemed like the right idea. Honestly i might get the parts to refurbish it. It certainly needs it, as the whole thing was basically held together with duct tape at one point, and the shell’s paint is peeling.
I never got to play the 3DS growing up unfortunately. I loved the GBC/A and DS when I was younger, and I was like the target demographic for the whole 3D thing, thinking it was super fucking cool. But when my parents bought me one for Christmas when it was new, I lost it outside like the very next day. I was too embarrassed to tell them, so I pretended that I still had it for months before eventually “the dog chewed it up” one night.
I had a DS Lite growing up and that thing lived a long life until one day it was tossed by my younger sister in a fit of rage. one day to find it and to try and fix it
I had an original DS, the big gray brick that’s been nicknamed “panzer” compared to DS Lite and DSi… Amusing when you see how 3DS XL and then the Switches turned out.
After years of service the upper screen broke into a pretty LCD rainbow. At the time it was long into DSi life and 3DS was almost coming, but I still got a new white DS Lite because I wanted the GBA port. I still have that one.
That’s very sad
