Berry is a very competitive bird. You name a sport? She's probably played it. Any board/video game? She's finished it. She gets very into games, and is happy when her friends give her a nudge when she gets a little too competitive.
But her favorite game, isn't one where she's competitive. At least, not anymore.
She's found taking a slow approach with "Fluffy Crossing" is better than what she usually does. Fluffy Crossing is a popular video game where you live in a town with other Fluffy animals. When Berry first got her claws on the game, she speedran it. Getting all the achievements and high value items in only a few days.
But seeing as her friends had barely gotten out of the tutorial part and having fun, she felt... bored of it. She didn't want to be left out of the fun, but its not always enjoyable playing a game you rushed through to the end. So, she restarted her save, and tried pacing herself this time. That save, which she still has, was much more fun.
She enjoyed getting to know her townsmates and become friends with them. Getting to do small tasks day by day, and slowly watch as her town went from a tiny, plain place to a gorgeous, bustling lively area. She even managed to find ways to add competitiveness into it, racing against friends to find certain items, or certain characters to move in.
To this day, over a year later she's still playing daily, using the game as a little break from her usual fast-paced style of gaming.
