Now that my broadband's back, I can download the games that have been sitting in my Steam purchase list for days! 😅 Time to flash some fangs, make pretty dresses, and be stupidly cute 🩸👗🦦 #NowPlaying #Nighthawks #Dressmaker #OtterlyLost 🎮

AS IF!! 🤩 This has been my favourite fighting game series for decades, but hardly anyone I know has heard of it. The 2-part anime is cool too. Batshit bonkers, but I love it. Such a random reveal! 😆 Bonus points for the Phoenix Nights tagline 🤣🤣 I'll be ready for challengers 😎 ⬅️➡️➡️+Strong Attack 😉

If you love vampires, RPGs, & not letting indies get screwed over, PLEASE wishlist Nighthawks if you can! Steam labelled it "Adults Only", taking it off Steam search & delisting in some places. For the odd Dragon Age/Mass Effect level nudity. Repost muchly plz 💖🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/

There are many reasons I have such fun with #Avowed every time I play, but a fairly sizeable one is how gosh darn pretty it is! 😍 Less of the Skyrim grim, and let fantasy RPGs be colourful, dammit! 😆

Blue Dragon is a great game that deserved just as much love and attention as the big hitters! 💖 The anime was fab too. This was over 12 years ago, but Zola was my first proper cosplay 😆🥰 A mix of her game & anime looks.

A fairly recent one to start: LP - Love Lines I discovered LP back in 2018 and have been besotted with them ever since. There's something unique about their voice, and some of those high notes - DAYUM! Too many faves to count on this album ❤️

Sad to see that Vampire The Masquerade: Blood Hunt has shut down after 4 years 😞 I'm not a fan of PvP/Battle Royale games, and this was literally the only one that grabbed me & kept me hooked. I managed to get one last victory before the end, at least 😆 From a proud Tremere gal, it's been fun! 👋🦇🩸🫶

I've been a huge flake with the new channel & need to get my derriere back into uploading mode, but it really would make my month to get it out there a wee bit more. So, if you know indie/retro gaming lovers or are one yourself, maybe give a share & a cheeky sub? 🙏🏻😘 youtube.com/@pixieofillu... 🎮

Having oodles of fun as expected. Survival-y, swashbuckly fun! 😆 It's so beautiful too - even the simplest scenes are gorgeous ❤️ The only frustrating thing so far is trying to build a symmetrical roof for my little DIY hut. Get in the bin!! Yes, they have prebuilt ones, but NO, dammit! 😆 #Windrose

Hippo is determined to keep me from reaching my desk today, but when I'm not pinned down, I will be firmly in #SteamNextFest mode as per 😁🎮 So #indiegames & #indiedevs, if you have a demo taking part, drop it below so I can have a nice little download list already set up, yis? 😊🙏🏻👇🏻

Reconnecting with my love of platformers, I picked up Big Hops in a bundle with Demon Tides. Having fun so far - very charming, love the art style, and leaping across vast hubs hunting collectibles is very satisfying ☺️🐸🎮 Wall-running, however, can get in the bin! 🤣 A bit of jank is fine, but oof 😅

Picked up #DynastyWarriorsOrigins as an Xmas treat. Been a DW fan for over 20 years, & tbh, one playable lead & only going up to Chibi didn't thrill me. DW's DNA is huge rosters & epic timelines. But this is AWESOME!! 😍 Story progression, weapons, battles, the lot. DW9 crashed so Origins could fly ❤️
