Turnip Prices Thread - Playing The Market In New Horizons

[Turnip Prices Thread - Playing The Market In New Horizons]

My prices crashed this afternoon. I started from 90 and peaked at 163 bells yesterday afternoon and from 144 bells this morning down to 74 this afternoon. Looks as though I'll have to find better prices at others islands.

I never would have thought when I booked the these two weeks off last year that they would coincide with a nationwide lockdown (I had to work Monday and Tuesday). Otherwise, my workplace has stayed open (I work at a DIY Distribution centre). Let's just say many employees there were pissed off the company considered itself an essential service, but since we sell masks, hand sanitiser and certain food and drink items I honestly don't see why they were surprised. Rumour Mill seemed to indicate that the company would ask employees to take two weeks off work as holiday when the holiday allowance renewed or take it unpaid.

I only played Lets Go to the City on Wii before. But I have the game installed and ready to play on Friday, maybe this time I'll play the game for more than a week without the monotony of constantly changing game carts which I think was a big part of the Wii game not holding my attention.

But I can only wonder what might happen if this virus sticks around for the long term. Do we abandon the season and start again from scratch next season, or do we finish this and rightfully crown Liverpool as the Premier League champions which is gonna be rescheduling hell? Naturally that is wholly dependant when the virus is no longer a major threat that we can resume as normal. I mean this 3rd of April restart seems like incredibly wishful thinking with how the virus has yet to reach it's peak yet.

I shopped around like mad and paid a good price I feel.

[Football Season 2019-20]

That result is bad news for us. Now City will be out for redemption and I fear the worst, especially after that narrow fluky 1-0 we put in against relegation threatened West Ham yesterday.

I have a computer desk set up in my room for streaming, there was plenty of room for this.

I'm getting some accessories ready for my new gaming desktop PC in about a months time. 

 

And the first game I'm going to play on it when it arrives, will stream it too.

[What Have You Bought?]

I saw a page on Facebook posting screens of this game and the enjoyment they were getting so I decided to get it myself.

Got a new years resolution to get more exercise to shed some of this excess weight I gained over the years,

I got this to help my Smash Bros. game. Can't beat a classic Gamecube controller when it comes to Smash. Only downside is that it needs batteries.

Since I got an Amazon Echo for Christmas, I decided to get some Smart plugs for the radiators, I imagine saving money on the energy bills this way.

I needed a new coat, so I decided to get this one.

And finally these for that GameCube controller I posted further up.

[Ring Fit Adventure]

I ordered this game today, I hope it will help me lose a little weight in the long run. 

[Football Season 2019-20]

I was highly encouraged by the performance today, we didn't deserve to lose that game and Jorginho shouldn't have been on the pitch to equalise for Chelsea and turn the game ultimately in Chelsea's favour.

[Football Season 2019-20]

I'm calling it now, stick a fork in this title race, it's done. The 30 something year old meme is dying this season. Congratulations to Liverpool for their first league title in the Premier League era.

[Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield (2019, Switch)]

So after my loss of my shiny Purrloin, I decided to take some time out shiny hunting a Wooloo during play sessions because the whole Black sheep aesthetic was highly appealing to me and Wooloo is cute af. After 105 battles I finally got one and I'm feeling redemption. 

[Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield (2019, Switch)]

I'm super gutted right now, I found my first shiny in Sword yesterday, but due to turning off auto save and my own stupidity, I didn't save when I closed the game and lost it and an extra hours worth of grinding and Pokedex completion. Only now do I find out it was actually that new ultra rare shiny with the gem like sparkle effects which is roughly a 1 in 65000 chance of appearing, if I didn't feel bad enough last night I certainly did tonight at this revelation,

[Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - 26th Sept]

To be honest, I'm sure the West sees it as a more kiddy RPG that fits most peoples image of Nintendo which has the likes of Pokemon and Yokai Watch, I'm sure they would have seen more sales on Switch than Playstation if they released on the same day. Didn't Dragon Quest Builders 2 sell a lot more on Switch than Playstation 4?

I read this game was a 3DS classic so I figured I'd give it a go.


And of course for Halloween

Cheapest I got them for was £62.90 from ShopTo with a silver member discount (£61.61 if you are a gold member)

[Nintendo Switch Online: SNES]

I started playing Super Breath of Fire, pleasantly surprised it was the original version of the GBA game I loved playing back in school. Pure nostaglia trip, just recruited Nina and now just wandering around because I forgot where I need to go next,

[What Have You Bought?]

Watched Vinny Vinesauce playing the game and decided to take the plunge, only £1 more expensive than physical and with the extra 200 gold coins, works out cheaper.

I also bought this...I feel no shame.

Only shame I felt is paying full price for it. It doesn't feel like a £34.99 priced game to me, £19.99 at most.

The Switch has fast become my console of choice. 





Sadly, my PS4 controllers both failed on me, I tried repairing them but I ended up making them worse, so I figure why not get on of those v2 controllers and see how it's better.

[Switch eShop Thread]

So I bought the game pass double pack a couple of months ago, rebought Splatoon 2 with one so I could do the Octo expansion. But I dunno what to use the other one on, I'm torn between Fire Emblem Three Houses, Links Awakening remake and Astral Chain. 

[Gold Coin Collection 2019]

So half a year later, I did spend 500 points recently so it was more at one point..
