I realise it has been a while since I’ve done a #fedicrossing update, but I now have a bathroom and somewhere to cook.

Also, a saxophone and Nintendo switch. #AnimalCrossingNewHorizon

Okay so. #AnimalCrossingNewHorizon shit! To recap, basically all on-screen text is stored in MSBT files. I think that's Message Studio Binary Tagged or sumth?

Basically, every line has an ID, is stored in UTF-16 (I think that's a header flag), and can contain tags. Tags are a 0x000E value followed by a function, sub-function, and argument count in bytes.

Got all that so far?

So, the other day I rolled credits on New Horizons, but apparently this is just the beginning.

K.K Slider came to visit and now I can make paths and set ordinances and everything.

I have no idea what ordinances I can set, but I’ll cross that bridge another time. #fedicrossing #AnimalCrossingNewHorizon

Adventures on Shutter Island continue, with the upgrade to the local shop. #fedicrossing #AnimalCrossingNewHorizon

Today on Shutter Island, the snow finally disappeared.

There had been snow on the ground the whole time I’ve been playing this, so it made a nice change. #fedicrossing #AnimalCrossingNewHorizon

Today on Shutter Island, I upgraded my house so now it’s a bit bigger, but still only one room. However, they threw in a nice HiFi as a housewarming gift and now I’m starting to envy the virtual me. 😉 #fedicrossing #AnimalCrossingNewHorizon
A quick Shutter Island update… there’s a new shop in town, Able Sisters. #fedicrossing #AnimalCrossingNewHorizon

Here is the full layout. It’s not space optimized but it took out the room for error. Key is to have isolated pairs for breeding the roses. I used custom designs to indicate which step is which field.

First I make sure my inventory is clear. Then I remove the wrong results and toss them immediately. Then I work my way up from the last step and move the desired result to the next step. Then I water the roses and save for the day.

Yes I time traveled. It took about three real days.

I did it! Blue roses in Animal Crossing. It took 28 days from scratch and without visitors. I got really lucky, the expectation was between 78 and 46 days. I used the Asteriation Genepool Method and started with ten pairs of white and red roses.

In the end I had 14 pairs of the special red rose.
