Oh god what the fuck the Turkey Day chef is an actual turkey. Horrifying. I don't know what I expected.

Also, Spike just said "I prepped by making some room in my stomach." HEY WHAT'S UP I TOOK A BIG SHIT. ANYWAY HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Yeah, there's a lot of inconsistencies in how careful the game is and it amuses me. The clothing is very clearly labeled as NOT LEATHER FROM ANIMALS WE SWEAR, but the Turkey Day stuff is off (do you actually make turkey? I seem to remember the meal is just pescatarian. I still chuckle at the "if this is a new neighbor I'll need to apologize" line when you catch a frog when fishing.

If you already did the Turkey Day stuff last year, there's a good reason to do it again this year.
Oh dang thank you, I was thinking of just skipping today but this is nice.

Oh, thank goodness. I was worried at first I'd be doing everything for just the same old crap I already had.

Can you imagine, though? Gaining the ability to make food, and not getting anything to do it on the day known for making food?

Thing is, I could totally see Nintendo doing that.

Turnip prices are currently (just before 10am Pacific) 155 and should spike this afternoon. I have a bunch of chores to do so won't be playing but will check the connection occasionally.

Redd is here but looks like the only real thing he has is the flowery painting.

Dodo code is MQ21J

Franklin has a line I saw, something like "Even though it's Turkey Day, you wouldn't believe how they celebrate it in some places..." (with a fearful shiver.)

You definitely don't make any turkey or meat; there are dishes with fish and shellfish though.

Franklin's M.O. in the GameCube and Wii installments was that Tortimer totally invited him to Turkey Day with the intent of killing and eating him (the villagers (mostly) just wanted to meet him) so he was in hiding and you would bring him silverware to trade for furniture and he would run off somewhere else because he was still afraid that you would try to eat him.

This changed in New Leaf. Tortimer is no longer mayor, so Franklin now freely comes to town of his own volition to cook a Turkey Day dinner (without walking bird) using locally grown and caught ingredients.

I built a castle for Elvis. Also, I have Knox on my island. I've always wanted to build a castle for Knox, but his set is basically the same as Elvis's; he wants to be a knight. So obviously, Knox would make a great natural roommate for Elvis.

EXCEPT, Knox and Sterling are also great natural roommates, and both live on my island! They're already best buddies as far as I'm concerned!

BUT! Sterling's theme is, for some reason, a sci-fi setting! That's nuts and it doesn't match Knox's castle/knight thing!

UNLESS!!! I room them together and try to make a sci-fi castle for them to be sci-fi knights!!! But I dunno if that'd work so great.

I might have to make a house for Sterling and then see what I'm working with before I decide who Knox goes to room with.

This game is hard!

Well today Nook's had a corpse flower and one of the daily items on the phone was a dormant volcano so Best Shopping Day for me.

Also KK Bashment sounds like a Porter Robinson song to me for some reason.

Ooh, I think I have a corpse flower but I dunno if I've even seen the volcano!

...he says as though he's played in a month D: I guess my island will stay in its half-made limbo foreverrrr

Switch Online added new profile icons, and looks like it'll rotate through whichever villagers have birthdays that month? Cute, and something to help make a dent in the thousands of platinum coins I have.

Already switched my icon over to Bonbon. A li'l disappointed by how clearly "from the wikis" most of these are (previous ACs all had posed stock art for nigh everybody) but regardless I will get as many of these as I can.

How is anyone suppose to get 700 platinum points?!
I don't think I've been under 1000 points in years, even with them constantly expiring.

(checks site) yeah, I currently have 1385 and have had >100 expiring every month for a while, but I still accrue for signing in on stuff I guess? There's never anything to use them for so thanks for the heads up.

This is what happens when you won't let me summon Porter's Amiibo (on the fourth day of wedding shoots) to celebrate Champ's birthday.

This is the first time the game has allowed me to use Harriet in her hippie garb. I know updates are basically over, but if there's ever a 2.0.6 or a 2.1 I would welcome the option for service characters to change into alternate outfits (or selves).

We need more Harriet the Hippie. And Isabelle in her fancy New Year's suit or exercise leotard. And Gullivarrr.
