@RikuKat tried the polished TikTok content. The slick trailers. The "best practices" of game marketing.

Then she just started showing up as herself. Streaming herself playing her own game on her Steam page.

Skin, hair, fur, chimera. Fit check for our DLSS 5 era.

The "future" of game graphics sure seems dystopian.

@HailArachne There is a pin, but you might be able to buy it second-hand, because everyone seems to hate it. It's just pure purple and very hard to see the details.

The WoW Midnight CE just arrived in the mail and the Dark Heart replica is a light!

The box is gorgeous, too. Probably the most beautiful one yet!

Spent some time with @RikuKat's #PotionsACuriousTale ⚗️ You play as Luna the witch who relies on clever potion crafting and environmental tricks rather than straight combat. Gather ingredients, experiment with recipes and solve puzzles across enchanted biomes 🧙‍♀️ Vid below 👇

Video games have not been shown to increase violent or aggressive behavior. Reading the process of the studies that claim they do is pretty revealing!

Had such a geeky, fun-filled, and exhausting week!

I enjoyed SLICE, PAX, MIX, SIX, and more! Events and times like these help remind me why I'm a game developer!
