Happy Farm'n Friday! The days blurring together have become worse. Mr.Fogu reminded me on Monday that this upcoming Monday was a holiday (Memorial Day), as I had forgotten entirely. Talking to the office manager confirmed that he forgot too, but the company handbook notes that we receive the day off, so that turned out well! Then yesterday, before signing off for the week, I reminded the lead programmer that we had Monday off ("Huh, we do?"). Though, he says that the extra day off simply meant he could sit in a different chair that day because where else is he going to go?

With my extra day off, I'll have some more time to work on the SoS:FoMT guide. Last weekend I finished Gray's last two romantic events, leaving Cliff, Jennifer, and Rick remaining, plus the pages about animals, shops, and all other villagers. There are plenty of content holes that still need filling in.

I was also notified by the one remaining in-office employee that the lotus experiment sitting in the windowsill is looking kind of filthy. She'll be trying to clean the algae off the glass and replace some of the green water, so we'll see how that goes. As I'm now working-from-home for the foreseeable future, I planted some more lotus seeds in an outdoor container. They've started sprouting, so we'll see how well they grow!

Stranded Sails Patch Live on XBox

The patch to correct issues that emerged with the console version of the Exploration Pack is now available for XBox. The patch for the Nintendo Switch edition is still in the works. The Ps4 version appears to be a-okay.

Digital New Game+ Expo

A digital event, akin to the now-canceled E3, will take place on June 23.

The New Game+ Expo will air on Twitch starting at 8:00 am Pacific Time (currently -7 GMT). The streaming conference will showcase upcoming games and new-game announcements from publishers such as SEGA, ATLUS, GungHo, Koei Temco, Natsume, NIS America, ARC System Works, and many more! Let's see if Natsume shows off some screenshots or gameplay of their upcoming Nintendo Switch game, Harvest Moon: One World.

Classic 4-Koma Comic

And here's the 4-panel comic from the July 2013 edition of Nintendo DREAM magazine, drawn by the Bokujou Monogatari illustrator Igusa Matsuyama.

And with that, the last of the NinDori comics have been translated. It's been almost seven years of Farm'n Fridays to publish all of them, spanning four entries of the Bokumono series (ANB, SoS, 3oT, and ToTT 3DS). Igusa's comic was published in the monthly magazine from January 2012 to May 2018 and appeared here in their roughly-translated format starting in August 2013.

Until next time!
