Ah, Animal Crossing. Starting up City Folk almost feels like coming home. Sure, the game is telling me that I’m starting a whole new life, but after my first day in Ganymede (my town), I’m feeling more nostalgic than excited.

After arriving, I was told to go to City Hall, where I would choose a house. Before doing so though, I explored my town. Hoping for peaches, I was dismayed to find apples growing in my village, but c’est la vie. My neighbors seem to be mostly friendly. A large hippo(?) named Harry was a bit rough around the edges, but the friendliness of Maple the bear and others were welcome.

After wandering around for a little while, I finally went to City Hall. I chose a cute little house right next to the river and a bridge, though I was tempted by the house on the beach... I always wanted a beachhouse. Afterwards, Nook put me to work, and after writing and delivering lewd letters, planting some trees, and making a delivery or two, I was free. Free to do whatever I wished... except it was 12:30 at night, I had no money, and no tools. So whatever I wished turned into having no choice pretty quickly.

I went to bed wishing I had started the day earlier, but at least I’ll have plenty to do tomorrow.

Goodnight!
