Cheriwaves was created because I wanted to buy the Coral Switch Lite. It's also a nod to Deftones' Cherry Waves song as it was stuck in my head. Plus its island native fruit is cherry (well it's pear, but I'm removing every pear tree). Cheriwaves will feature a theme of blue, white, and reddish/pinkish motif similar to the ocean waves with cherry. It's a work in progress where I got stuck in the middle. But since the latest 2.0 update + the expansion, I think I'll go ahead with the current theme in mind and explore the massive amount of items added. I'm imagining a splash of colour from a crash of cherry waves.
More importantly, here is to feature my top three favourite villagers of Cheriwaves (again, in no particular order).
3. Roald
Roald and I go way back in ACPG. I've had Roald twice in ACPG: as a starter villager and as someone who moved into my village from another GC memory card while fruit transferring. I thought that having a penguin was interesting already as I didn't know all of the species in ACPG. But it's his BIG ROUND eyes that caught my attention. He's also a jock that kept giving me free stuff. So I'm mighty glad to have Roald on Cheriwaves this time. To think that we'd meet again. Roald is a true bro.
2. Whitney
Samone: (!!! in English)
I haven't met Whitney in ACPG but I've seen her appear as early as the first Animal Crossing movie. I've been curious since then because I didn't like a snooty villager before. I've been trying to generate a town with Whitney on it but with no luck. So imagine my joy when Whitney finally appeared on my campsite. How many years has it been? The closest to having Whitney on ACPG was having Fang on my last memory card before focusing on to ACNL. Whitney looks graceful whenever she carries her umbrella too. She's the second snooty villager who was worried when I was away for a long time due to being sick. It feels like Whitney will always have my back.
1. Flora
Flora is a flamingo. She's technically an ostrich, but she's seriously a flamingo. I haven't stumbled upon Flora before, but she definitely has the Cheriwaves vibe. She's funny too. Made me chuckle when she mentioned how CJ is always happy to see her -- but maybe it's because she's bringing fish. And that heart shaped face is really cute. Flora is one of my starters in Cheriwaves and I've had to pass up many villagers before I've settled with my final roster. It's final. Flora is super fun and is not going anywhere. Sorry, not sorry Flora.
Special mention. Lolly
Lolly's eyes are cute (they look like a 6 or an apostrophe). Lolly's striped coat pattern is also cute. Lolly's smiley face is also cute. I can imagine every AC player having Lolly. The weird thing about having Lolly is that she reminds me of Mitzi instead. But Lolly is the staple uchi cat in New Horizons. Lolly walking around Cheriwaves with her bright smile is contagious.
Here are a few moments in Cheriwaves
I made a funny: carps on a carpool... *leaves the building.*
As if Roald and I are reminiscing our times during the Gamecube days.
Whitney and I discussing the state of Cheriwaves: it appears I'll be voted out next.
When Flurry has to move -- so she can be with Hamphrey.
To whoever gave Flora the bath-towel, we need to talk.
First time seeing this babecue grill set up on the plaza.
Hokko Life is a life sim game where you unexpectedly stop over in the town of Hokko and find yourself helping the townsfolks restore their once lively town by promoting their tourism. The game is still on its Early Access on Steam, but there are many activities now live which are also similar to Animal Crossing. Most notably would be meeting and making friends with your animal neighbors so that the story of Hokko can unfold.

The joke of paying real cash to buy a virtual outfit, a virtual furniture, or a virtual lot to play Sims may become frighteningly real. A snippet from Maxis' career page caught the attention of many simmers when it involves Project Rene (aka Sims 5) looking for a Head of Marketplace & Monetization. The post describes that the newest entry to The Sims reveals a free-to-enter and paid content. It eludes to going away from the traditional buy-to-play model to a free-to-play model similar where players have to be connected online and subscribed to receive new content. The page above is no longer available on the Maxis Careers page (yet reflected on a LinkedIn post too). The Sims 4 base game became free-to-play last October 18, 2022. And EA / Maxis introduced Game packs and Kits for The Sims 4. So the likely move for Project Rene (Sims 5) would be to streamline the content distribution by offering a free base game and then building it up through a subscription model or through de
Forager - wow, I'm addicted. Forager is an absurdly addicting game where you start with building a small base on a tiny island, gather resources, and buy neighboring lands to expand your manufacturing empire. I have the game on Steam and I couldn't turn away after several hours of playthrough as there are apparently other things that adults must do. Ugh. Responsibilities! PROS: It's easy to pick up, but difficult to put down! Premise looks promising Build and battle Mighty portable More free content coming up CONS: One pet per play No multiplayer Hold one key for most of the time FPS bug on PC? It's easy to pick up, but difficult to put down! (top) Forager is easy to grasp: the player goes around mining rocks, chopping trees, harvesting resources in order to build structures to c
