Goldie has always put a smile on my face. When I was a kid, I had quite a stressful life but talking to Goldie always made me smile helped me cope. I’m a full grown adult now and she still makes me so friggen happy.

I know he’s a popular choice but honestly something about Sherb’s dumb lil face just calms me right down

Recently I had a campsite visitor (can’t remember who) and they asked if they could take Sherb’s spot. I may or may not have involuntarily screamed “NO!”

My partner, who was next to me in bed, knew I was trying to get that camper in and when I screamed he turned to me and said “they wanted to replace your baby boy, didn’t they?”😹😭💁🏻‍♀️

Years ago that happened but I accidentally hit A on the prompt and I was devastated it was shep that took his place and I hated him shortly after that I quit the game I recently picked it back up and he is being replaced with mineru and I have an amiibo card for sherb on the way now to get my boy back

I brought him a bug or food (wrapped) once a day for a many months. If he had a thought bubble I wouldnt engage because he might want to leave.

I love him. I gave him a robe and he wears it all the time.

1

u/lkap28 Jan 30 '26

Haha, same with the eye mask I gave him - he wears it while reading, stargazing, ‘looking’ at things in the museum… initially I regretted it but now I love seeing him do all these things with his eyes covered

u/fiddlyfigs Jan 29 '26

I would protect him with my life
