"Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream"
 
   Animal Crossing vs. The Sims. You might've seen folks streaming it lately, or maybe you're playing it yourself.

You have an island. You make characters to populate it. They interact. You can suggest courses of action, but mostly they think of the stuff they're doing themselves.

The current population of my island is a mix of Hololive members, Umamusume characters, and random concepts who sprang from my whimsy, to wit (roughly in the order I added them):

- Me!
- All five members of HoloMyth.
- Gort (the robot from The Day the Earth Stood Still, except he dresses sort of like Mr. T)
- Stevazaak-350 (a grey alien who likes hats)
- Autofister GmbH
- Vodka
- Gold Ship
- Kureiji Ollie
- Kronii
- Mumei
- Bae
- Major Matt Mason (an astronaut who only ever wears a full space suit, has a face roughly based on Chris Hadfield, and walks like he's somehow in lunar gravity)

As you might imagine, there's plenty of silliness. If I can remember how to get screenshots off my Switch, maybe I'll share some of it.

   I'm not playing it (I don't even have a Switch), but via Koui's hololive highlight shorts, I'm seeing FWMC either play it or appear in it, maybe both.

They're not officially in it (there are no premade characters in the game), but you can make Miis of them, as you can of anybody else.

On my island, we've been joined by Clara, daughter of TakaMori, and Rowan, son of Ina and, uh, me. So far Autofister have not seen fit to reproduce, but if and when they do, boy howdy. I did not arrange either of these pairings, they just... happened. I named Clara, because that is (believe it or not) canon, but I let the game pick Rowan's name.

Also, Gort and Steve seem to have embarked on some kind of doomed romance arc. One gets convinced that the other has a crush, there's a confrontation, it doesn't work, and then it happens in the other direction. Rinse, repeat.
