For the fish one, all you have to do is steal a fishing boat and hold the captain hostage to catch all the fish for you. Boom 5000 fish

“Harvesting 1000 tomatoes that I grew myself isn’t realistic” That is clearly spoken by someone who has never grown tomatoes before, harvesting 1000 home grown tomatoes is super easy. tomatoes grow like weeds and produce a lot of fruit, even if I give away 50% of my tomatoes I still have too many! You can absolutely harvest 1000 tomatoes in one lifetime

For the tool one, I think a pencil might count as a tool, so breaking 200 pencils wouldn't be really hard

Honestly tho if you plant a couple cherry tomatoes in your yard, you could easily harvest a couple hundred tomatoes in any given year because they produce a ton and have several harvests in a year. You might need to wait a few years to hit a thousand, but it's super attainable if you have the right climate for them. (source: one year we had to pickle green tomatoes because we had so goddamn many and filled up like 3 jars off of one harvest)

12:51 Clam harvester here! It's actually relatively easy to get that many manila clams if you find the right spot. The beach I usually harvest on will have the occasional spot that has a plethora of clams once you dig about an inch into the dirt/sand/whatever. The legal limit for Washington State in specific is 40 per day which you can usually get in under 15 minutes once you find the right spot (which is pretty easy, especially since they do squirt at you IRL thru the sand if the surface is agitated). That would mean roughly a week of clam harvesting to get the full stamps on Clam and Collected! Although, you *will* need that license as well as to make sure there's no red tide (a toxic algae bloom that can give you some gross illnesses).

I believe the Edit Credit achievement also gives you credit for changing your passport photo. In real life, you have to update you passport photo every 10 years, so while it might take a while, you can easily earn this achievement just by keeping your photo up to date 👍

A pencil would count as a tool, no? Snap a bunch of them bad boys.

Harvesting 1000 produce honestly isn’t that difficult. Plant a few cherry tomato plants and frankly you’ll probably clear the threshold in a single season (trust me, they produce a lot).

12:58 Here in Rhode Island, residents are allowed to go down to the shore and quahog without a license (as long as you don’t sell them)- definitely doable!

Okay, but consider that the player character didn't have money when they arrived either. They only found out they had to pay for it once they arrived (which is absolutely wild, by the way. Did Tom Nook literally invent capitalism and nowhere else uses it?)

Dunno if it counts, but you can get "dig up fossil" toy kits, and ive also seen people make chocolate eggs that have an edible crumb and dino inside to evacuate.... so you could easily unearth 500 fake dino fossils.

The line "I'm not an archeologist, I'm not digging up dinosaur bones" hurt my anthropology heart. Archeologists dig up and analyze human stuff, they'd leave animal bones to other people

"isn't this meant to be a game for babies?" I feel like at this point the main demographic of this game has just become depressed teens/young adults that had nothing to do over lockdown and got hooked on the game lmao also the quality of these videos have gotten so good, keep up the good work!

I love the editing style in this, you incorporating yourself into the islands in the background is just so creative and amazing, great video!

Sea critters is EASY! I am a Marine Bio major in California, every Friday we go out to the tide pools and see sooooooo many different things! Nudibranchs are my favorite, sea anemones and sea hares are EVERYWHERE and a fun one to find.

13:47 OMG MY ISLAND

Attempting to sell fake art is easy! It doesnt say it has to be a CONVINCING fake, AND it doesnt say they actually have to buy it! Just scribble on some paper, call a museum, and tell them you have the original Mona Lisa to sell them. Bam.

17:09 i pen pal so i'm crushing this

Make a tool? Sharpen a pencil Break a tool? Snap the lead

You might think 20 fish species is doable, but it's really not unless you travel or can go fishing in the ocean. I can only count 10 fish species living in places I have fished (not including frogs, tadpoles, and crawfish) and I've only personally caught five species (including minnows). My dad really likes fishing and goes fishing frequently, but I'm not sure that he's caught 20 different species of fish

also HELLO? you build guitars? that’s so fucking cool man! crazy flex

The bug catching competition could easily be accomplished on any playground. Important note: bring a child with you so you don’t seem like a freak. Have your child challenge another child to a bug catching competition. Then you participate. Little kids love picking up worms, right? Ez

I think I've sent 200 letters. If you count Christmas cards, that is, otherwise I'm not over 15. That to say, it's interesting what different people think is reasonable. My father has definitely caught hundreds of fish, I've caught 20 live sand dollars and way more seaweed than I want to think about, and I've never been stung by a wasp but I've definitely caught 5 under cups before. And harvested so many tiny tomatoes.

>classifies a box as a tool >also doesn't think that you could break 200 tools in your entire lifetime >me going down the aisle of a store punching holes in all the cereal boxes

Everytime a man cuts his mid-length hair, an angel loses its wings😔💔 (source: I made the same mistake before)

12:58 It actually makes a lot of sense; clams play an extremely important role in water purification, basically acting as living filters. Overdigging can ruin this.

10:00 paleontologists dig up follils, not archeologists, and crinoid fossils can be found at basically any riverbed. just look for a dark colored pebble with oddly shaped white flecks in it

This footage is so nostalgic i havent played animal crossing in 3 years, also im surprised you havent mentioned or made a video about you making guitars before!

You can definitely see 200 shooting stars, just go outside on a clear night in August. Pretty sure the achievement in-game counts stars from meteor showers, too.

I LOVED this video! The question prompt itself was so thought-provoking and I was comparing my answers to yours the whole time, it was super engaging but in a fun way. Loved to see all of the dream islands in the background (great way to add visual interest!) and I thought your edits of yourself into the islands were incredibly funny. Great video!!!

"I don't want to get obsessed with grave robbing." Skill issue.

You can actually get fossils quite easily if you know which streams to look in and you can even volunteer to assist irl paleontologists on digs

1:25 Oh hey it's my island!

I watched this while eating Oreos while a thunder storm was outside and it made this video even more enjoyable

No fish in a pond that's unconnected to the wild, unless you stock it yourself or some fish eggs get stuck to a bird. Also, take $20 to harbor frieght and invest in some 1/8 inch drill bits.

if you plant like, some cherry tomatoes or some hot pepper plants, you could totally knock out 1000 pieces of produce in one season lol

For the fossils is actually kinda easy to get seashel and trilobite fossils on stones. You can even get some on random fine stones for construction.

I think you under estimated how much produce you could harvest from all the hypothetical plants you would need. You could probably get between 50-100 pieces of produce per harvest if you have enough plants (if not more. That’s if we count individual fruits/veggies (like strawberries or tomatoes). It would take you about 10 years to complete, but definitely doable over a life time

I have a 3D printer, so bump up a bunch of the DIY achievements for me - and breaking a bunch of tools? I'd just print a bunch and break them. If size doesn't matter, the snowmen achievement would be pretty easy to finish, I live in a northern state where we get snow every winter. Humm, the gold plated tools achievements will depend a lot on whether real gold is demanded or not. Gold color filament is really easy to get, but it's not real gold. Real gold is very expensive, so even if real gold filled filament exists I doubt I could afford it

seagulls are the navy equivalent of pigeon drones. argue about it. 🐦📸

This is going to be random but you look almost exactly like my childhood/teenage best friend does today. Like, almost a spitting image. Sadly we haven't talked in 15 years but this video appearing in my recommended reminded me of him and kinda made me smile. Also, the concept is great

For the stretching achievement, there's an honestly easy way to do it. Join a sports league and always be the one to begin the teams stretches before playing, boom you're leading the stretches in an environment where you're supposed to

he low key looks like keanu reeves

the little casual greenscreen edits of you with the various ac furniture is so good 😂 the ufo one got a wheeze out of me. 10/10 good job

6:16 the editing detail of not only you being underwater, but actually warping to fit the changing camera angle was HILARIOUS. You definitely got a new sub, this video was super entertaining!! :D

Sending 200 letters is definitely S tier. It never says your mail needs to get a response, be appreciated, or even be opened. So essentially you just need to send off 200 letters to random locations, which is entirely doable. Worst comes to worst, just send 200 anonymous appreciation cards to random KZfaqrs PO boxes so you know nobody is inconvenienced by your mail.

This video idea is so creative-

love to see all the fun places you went with the greenscreen lol

Actually the Cicada one could be lethal, those shells can steal your f**king soul if you're not careful. For those who might not get it, it's a joke about the Pokemon Sheinja, the discarded shell of a Nincada (has a bizarre method to obtain one). It has a hole in its back, and based on the Pokedex entries looking into it will cost you your soul.

16:15 honey cove my beloved…. Thanks for touring and amazing video :D

3:11 omg my beloved beanutputt thank u for visiting :D

Dang, with your great editing and scripting, I woulda thought you had way more subscribers! Awesome video. Makes me wanna go play ACNH after work

18:48 I've actually been able to witness a meteor shower with about 30 shooting stars per hour, if I remember correctly. We drove away from town to get away from light pollution, waited for our eyes to adjust and put a blanket out to lie on, and watched them for a couple hours at about 2am. It was pretty cool. So I think it's probably more possible than some people think-but you've got to live in a place where you can just go out and do that

Making guitars sounds cool

What a lovely use of Dream Addresses in the background! Amazing video, as always :)

Very underrated video! The editing is fun, and you are very witty in your writing:) Haven't played New Leaf in a couple of years, but enjoyed the vid a lot!

I love your laid-back humor this was awesome to watch without getting overwhelmed

the one about finding buried money can be really easy, if you go to the beach and happen to own a metal detector my grandad has a giant jar of coins from his metal detecting. that ones doable

Digging up pippies as a kid was one of my favourite things to do with my family on the beach. It's actually pretty easy 😊

Bugs Don’t Bug Me is by far the easiest. Beetles diversify so much that like 60% of all species are beetles. Combine that with living in Florida (The REAL state bird is not the flamingo, but the mosquito) and I’m chilling

it's incredibly easy to try to donate fake art, just draw a bunch of sunflowers and walk up to any museum front desk and tell them its a Van Gogh. they'll tell you it's not but you dont have to succeed, you just have to try.

I've broken a few hammers a boatload of claps, and countless paint brushes

never seen you before really enjoyed this. the style was sort of 'what, did you think i could actually catch 5000 fish?', but then you do get into the bit and think about some of them. and funny green screen and b roll

So this video is the reason why you bought a green screen for, absolutely love this style!

The shooting stars is easy, just go to the country side one or two days when they fall

"seagulls aren't real; argue about it" lmao

i'm with a lot of other people, i think Executive Producer deserves to get bumped up the rank to B tier considering how much stuff fruiting plants produce. grow some blackberries or raspberries, some blueberries, maybe a bunch of cherry tomatoes, zucchini if you really want to get wild, and you'll have probably harvested 1000 crops within a few years no sweat.

Crabs count for sea creatures right? If so, I'm pretty sure I already completed all of those stamps as a child. You just make a rudementary fishing pole with a stick, some string, and a clothes pin (not a dinky one though, the ones that bite), then crack open some mussels and use them as bait. The crabs will all swarm towards you. It kept me endlessly entertained as a little kid - catching crabs at the beach and putting them in buckets of water.

i. i dont know why i watched this. but i loved every second of it. what

XD the fact that you didnt know if there were fish in the pond you were fishing in is so funny to me XD

I feel like I’m the only person who had no struggle catching 100 fish in a row…

This is the good stuff I need

I feel like you're under-estimating how much wood-chopping a single campfire or weekend with a fireplace takes, but I suppose our wood-burning ancestors would have hit the achievement for wood-chopping a heck of a lot faster than you or me.

for the produce harvesting, if you can get a cherry tomato plant to grow you will easily get a hundred tomatoes per month in the summer

what a fresh cut tvt i like this video and cut

If you want to see a couple hundred falling stars: there are many periodic (and therefore predictable) meteor showers, look up when one of the denser one happens, hope for a clear night and camp out with an audiobook and a few beers. You will be done in a day or two tops.

Island togetherness would go hard as someone who lives in a dorm hall and has a cat (people love coming over)

5:07 the only problem would be encountering dangerous bugs that are in the critterpedia like scorpions and (if allergic to bees) wasps or yellow jackets

My man has never been to rocky tidepool, that would definitely make the sea creature and sea creature species achievements doable. They're incredibly biodiverse environments and you don't have to be underwater, I can spend hours in a tidepool zone with iNaturalist on my phone

XD Elevating pragmatism to absolute comedy. Thank you for the laughter!

This was an unexpected masterpiece of a video, the editing and delivery is top notch! For once KZfaq algorithm did me a solid.

the ice chest is a DIY furniture, and if you want a concrete list of tools that need to be DIY'd refer to the game, watering can, shovel, bug net, fishing rod, vaulting pole, ladder, shovel and axe

Picking produce - you can grow any berry. I get like 200 cherry tomatoes per plant per season. It sounds like a lot but over the course of 4 months it’s really a manageable amount. Also chilli peppers grow a lot too, so... easy to pick & pickle

It’s 2024 and I’ve never completed all the nook mile achievements lol I feel like I have to at some point

its absolutely possible to wish on 200 shooting stars! every year around july-august there's a meteor shower called perseids. in heavy nights, there can be around 100 shooting stars within 1 hour!

Hearing you live in Louisiana was like a jumpscare since I live in the state too

for the flea one - i'll say that i can definitely catch 3 fleas from my outdoor cat during just one summer, and i think this could count. not too sure bout the "island buddy" part, but moving to Indonesia or Australia would solve this, i bet 👌 also, i can't really count how many wasps i had to catch into a glass to let them outside of my house in the lifetime. and i'm proud to say, that i'm yet to be stinged 🙌

If you look into what technically counts as a fruit you could do the 30000 fruit for sure. Apparently strawberries aren't berries, but their seeds are actually each tiny little fruits that each contain the actual seeds. And raspberries are each many fruits for what you would think is just one. Each little piece of the raspberry is it's own individual fruit, same with blackberries.

The uptalk 😭

I also live in the south, so the closest thing to good real snow was a bad ice storm! 🙃

as an insect lover, I would like to point out that most wasps cannot sting, and among the wasps that can, most only sting when defending their nest - I have held a live female yellowjacket before and even poked her a bit. she did not sting. also, worms aren't bugs

Breaking 200 tools is easy if you're willing to count things like sockets, drill bits, or saw blades as "tools." Even easier if you count things like pencils and chalk.

13:28 fish farms exist Something something fish in an open air barrel

The comment "seagulls aren't real" is technically correct. Colloquially we refer to all gulls as seagulls, be they black headed gulls, silver gulls, herring gulls or whatever. There is no bird actually called a "sea gull" so you are accurate in your statement.

It’s definitely possible to catch five wasps in a row without being stung! You can even catch five at once if they’re clustered together on a surface.

this video is S tier humour and quality

My man does not know how many tomatoes a cherry tomato bush can produce. There's a reason people try to give them away in the summer. Plant like five of those and you're good, you got that 1k achievement no problem.

shooting star one would actually be pretty easy. on any given night you could find at LEAST 3 or more.. as long as the sky is clear and its dark.

I have the worst timing with eating while watching youtube... I took a sip right as you got to Greedy Weeder and struggled to keep it in

19:23 i wish seagulls were real, i love tgem
