This is my favorite Pokémon merch! I love Piplup because he is such a cute little bird, I have a soft spot for the cutesy style Pokémons. And this is my favorite merch of Piplup, because it's so soft and squishy!

Here's my drawing of one of my favorite characters Isabelle from the game Animal Crossing: New Horizons! I had so much fun drawing her as I think she is such a cute character.

After a few tries, this was the most amount of customers I was able to serve.

I tried a few different seating arrangements, and basically removed all the furniture in my Café first in order to try out different layouts. I decided to put all the chairs with their backs facing the kitchen, to make the distance between the customers and the kitchen as short as possible.

Here's my cosy gaming setup, all ready to play some Critter Café this evening 😊 I usually play the game using a controller as it feels more comfy for me, and I love cosying up under a blanket with a fresh cup of tea. ☕🍃

Here's my idea:

A contest to design an accessory piece for the Critters to wear, for example a bow, ribbon, tie, or a little flower pin in their hair. It could be anything, so we'd be free to get creative! We'd be designing this through drawing it, either on physical paper or digitally.

It's fun to dress up our own characters, so it would be super fun to play around with little accessory pieces we'd like to se the Critters wear as well!

The way we would judge the winner would be that the best designs would be picked as a winner by the end of the deadline.

It's New Year's Eve, I was excited to celebrate it with my family, as it's been a while since I've seen them. But they decided to cancel last minute, again. Extra frustrating as it was quiet the distance for me to travel to get here. I sigh as I walk down the snowy street. There are still Christmas decorations up. I notice a tear trying to come out, but I shake it off and tell myself to try to ignore it. I may as well try to have a good New Year's Eve even if It's by myself.

As I walk down the street, I see a sign pointed towards a cute little Café. I'm hearing strange little chirping and animal sounds coming from it. Smoke is coming from the chimney and it looks very warm and inviting. I decide to head over and check it out. Outside of the Café I see small little pawprints in the snow, how cute!

I open the door. "Welcome in!", says the Café worker smilingly. As I enter, something swiftly runs past me and I nearly walked right into it. "Oh please be mindful you don't stumble over our little critters, they like to roam around!" says the worker laughingly. I get a better look at the critter, and I notice there's a few of them here. I've never seen any critters like these before, they all look so different. And they are so cute! I've already completely forgotten why I was sad. Now I just feel excited to get to know more about these little critters, and to pet them!

As I look for a seat, I notice a cozy little seating area in the back with sofas, pillows on the floor for the critters, and a warm inviting fireplace. I head on over. On the pillow in front of the fireplace there's this most adorable fluffy little round critter. He looks like he wants to be pet, so I sit down next to him and scratch him behind his little ear.

There's a guy sitting next to him as well. "Isn't he cute?" He asks. "Very." I answer while happily petting him. "Mogbert is his name, he seems to like you" he says. "Oh how sweet. Hello there little Mogbert." I say as I continue to pet the little critter. "Have you been to this Café before?" I ask the guy. "I come here every week, if you want I can introduce you to all the critters here." He answers. "I would very much love that, thank you!" I answer excitedly. "My name's Sarah by the way." I smile at him. "Lovely to meet you Sarah, I'm Nico!" He smiles back.

The evening continues in so much joy, as he shows me around in the Café and introduces me to all the cute little critters, and shows me photos of the ones that are currently at the Habitat. We enjoy a lot of friendly chatter over some strawberry cake, tea and other tasty snacks throughout the evening. This turned out to be one of my most enjoyable New Year's Eve celebration ever.

My biggest tip is to make sure your microphone sounds good! You don't need to have a good camera, or even a camera at all, but the microphone is the most important part.

Another advice is to just try to stream whatever you think is fun, if you're enjoying what you're doing it will show and it might be more likely to make viewers enjoy your content too! And besides, it's more fun for you to do that as well.

I recommend recording yourself in OBS for a couple of minutes before you hit live for the first time, and watch the recording back. Just to make sure your audio sounds good, and that everything looks right. Technical difficulties are bound to happen every now and then, especially in the beginning, but just be kind to yourself and patient, you will learn and get the hang of it with time!

I would say start simple, as you won't have that many items in the beginning of the game, you can always revisit anytime to add things to your habitat. You will be able to unlock more furniture and decorations simply by playing the game, completing quests and collecting blueprints.

There are no gameplay advantages to how you decorate your habitat, so that gives you the freedom to decorate it exactly how you want! Just pick your favorite furniture and place it wherever you'd like. Some fun things could be to try and match each habitat with a certain theme or color, or you can also keep things minimalistic for a more "naturey" feel. The only thing I would say is try to make sure there is still enough space to walk around and not get stuck, just like with the Café.

This is my, you guessed it, valentines day outfit! I tried making her as adorable as I could, and really enjoyed matching all the colors together. I picked this hair ribbon because it has a lot of little hearts on it, perfect for valentines!

Here are my tips:

1.Try to keep the colors matching for a more balanced theme, but remember to not have everything be the exact same color as things might blend together a little too much. A good way to do it is to have neutrals as a base, with pops of color here and there.

2.It can be good to decorate your café in sections, think one dining area, one lounge area, one critter play area. That way it can look more organized and complete.

3.Make sure you give yourself enough space around the chairs and table so you can easily run around and take orders without getting stuck anywhere. Another good tip that I learned is that you can take multiple orders at once, that can speed things up a little versus only taking one order at a time.

4.Using the map and looking at the little signs to navigate is a good way to avoid getting lost. My other advise is to remember to just take a walk and explore without necessarily focusing on completing a quest, this game is beautiful and it's so nice to take a break and enjoy the scenery.
