French streamers just raised +10 000 000€ during the Zevent and I'm so happy and proud to be part of their communities. This money is for students, homeless workers, farmers and precarious workers.

French politics are shit, but the french Twitch community? they are HERE 💚

Billionaire Lovers 亿万恋人

genre: otome, amare, romance, comedy, mystery

You think that you are playing this game, but in fact the game is playing you.

This is definitely not your usual otome, but to tell why this game is so great means to spoil the fun. But believe me, this is definitely an unusual experience, even if a little silly at times.

The premise is quite simple: you are a broke college graduate with no job and no perspectives. But suddenly your legal guardian Uncle Charles, who hasn't been contacting with you for five years, calls and invites you to visit him in another city, and then out of blue gives you $100 000 000.

So now you are filthy rich and alone in his mansion, and don't know what to do with your money. Maybe you should try this new Love Gacha game everyone is talking about? (Yes, there is a Gacha game with a 1% drop rate. But who cares about the money, you've got plenty!)

Or maybe go outside and just meet hot singles in your area?

Trigger warning: you will totally develop trust issues after finishing this game several times (you have to finish game at least three or four times, I guess, to reach the True ending), but in the end - it's totally worth it. I can't say that it is very romantic, but the true route is definitely cute.

Please don't lose hope, I promise, at the end it will be all right (probably)

CHARACTERS:

MC (You can chose the name and gender for MC, that doesn't affect the story.)

They are just a broke clueless college graduate, who doesn't know what to do with their life. I would say that they don't have much ambition or plans for the future, and pretty lazy, because the moment they get the money on bank account, they decide to forget about getting a job and do nothing.

Of course, they're also naїve and kind, because how else they could end up in a situation like this?

Love interests (MILD SPOILERS AHEAD):

I really don't want to spoil everything, but not all of them are really love interests, the best outcome is rather friendship then passionate love, but I liked it anyway.

Elias

A young and good-looking CEO. MC meets him at the airport, picking his lost wallet. When they try to return it, they're finding out that they went to the same school. Is it a coincidence? Elias is sophisticated and polite, not very talkative, and he always wears gloves. What secrets does he hide?

Klaus

A math professor, smart and cute, who loves flowers and believes everything in life can be counted as a statistics. MC is meeting him on a plane. He seems a bit absent-minded, but he cares about MC. Or does he?

Stephen

Stephen is a strikingly handsome well-groomed man. MC meets him in the neighborhood, when Stephen is giving them a flower and his business card, and telling them that he is providing "services". Is he really a male escort? But he seems to have so many talents: he's smart, funny and also agile. MC don't really need his escort services or do they? Can Stephen really be trusted?

Justin (JustiCute)

A live streamer, who is the closest neighbor of the MC. Justin is the friendliest of folks and seems so cute and innocent. He is feeling lonely when he can't really be himself with all his fans, and he considers MC his only friend, telling them truth and secrets about himself. Poor baby, he has no one to trust in this world, except MC...right?

Overall

Visual: 5/5

Story: 5/5

Characters: 4/5

Romance: 3,5/5

Originality: 5/5

My Rating: 5/5

shane is chronically offline, which is especially ironic considering the fact that her roommate and best friend, schlatt, is a streamer. a popular one at that.

his chat knew her, and so did fans of adjacent streamers, since she'd often interrupt his streams for help opening jars or to yell at him for using up all of the hot water in your shitty new york apartment. he'd explain that he was talking to chat, to another streamer, to whoever, to which she would always reply that she had no clue who he was talking about.

as a treat, she'd occasionally join him, happily being player two or even just hanging out while he drunk drove in his truck simulator, being his drunk passenger and backseat driver.

finally fed up of shane not knowing literally any of his friends besides ted and tucker, he talked her into playing a game of smash or pass, using pictures of anyone she'd ever brushed off as being "one of the little people in his computer."

this was all fun and games, of course, until sapnap sees his own picture and hears her utter the word "smash" nearly immediately.

Rarepair New Year 2024 ch7: Coffee/Wine, Streamer AU

SFW

Wine is just done pressing the seams flat open of his new project that he hears a timid knock at his bedroom door. He invites Coffee, his best friend and roommate to come in, and the other shyly steps into the room, holding up a remote control.

READ ON AO3

Wine is just done pressing the seams flat open of his new project that he hears a timid knock at his bedroom door. He invites Coffee, his best friend and roommate to come in, and the other shyly steps into the room, holding up a remote control.

"Hey Wine. So I was wondering if maybe you wanted to play together tonight? I was planning on playing that platform game that you like so uhh… Do you want to join?"

Wine glances at his project, an accurate reproduction of an antique jacket from the 1800's. He completely hyperfocused on it all afternoon and didn't see the time, and now it's already time for dinner so he's grateful Coffee came up.

He stretches his back and decides that he's made enough progress today and could use the rest of the evening to relax and have fun with his roommate.

"Sure, sweetie," he says with a smile, the nickname making the other blush. Aah, right, Wine needs to be careful with pet names for Coffee now. "Let's get dinner first and then I'll join. Will you be streaming?"

Coffee nods, following the shorter skeleton downstairs to the kitchen, where Wine begins getting dinner ready. Nothing fancy or complicated, but Wine does enjoy cooking so he takes his time making something tasty for the both of them.

As they eat, Wine listens patiently as Coffee rambles about how his new series of videos is doing really well. Wine is happy for him, truly, and really proud of how far Coffee's channel has gotten, and how much effort the timid skeleton puts into it.

Wine and Coffee first met in highschool, through mutual friends. Wine is two years older than Coffee, and would frequently help the younger skeleton with his homework and difficult lessons. Not that Coffee particularly needed the help, as his grades were above average in the first place, but the two just liked each other's company and studying together was a good excuse to spend every afternoon at one or the other's place. Then Wine graduate and went on to college, where he got to study fashion and how to make clothes, as his childhood dream was to become a designer one day.

He was doing well, but money was tight, so he looked for a roommate to share the bills with. Meanwhile, Coffee longed to have some independance, as his situation at home was complicated. Nothing abusive, but he'd always been over protected by his father and needed a place away from all the smothering. That's when Wine offered for Coffee to move in with him, which the skinny skeleton immediately accepted. By that time, Coffee was about to graduate highschool so it was perfect for him, since he was going to attend a local university that was two blocks away from Wine's apartment.

That's also roughly when Coffee's streaming channel began soaring. He loved playing video games, had always been playing them since childhood, and now he found himself away from his parents for an entire summer, waiting for school to begin again in September, and so he spent most of his summer days playing and streaming. He already had a small community from back in highschool, but now that he got to focus most of his time into streaming, he got better and better at it and his natural skills, especially with platforming games, made him stand out in a sea of streamers.

He gained about 50 000 subscribers in one summer, a record for the platform at the time. Now it's been two years since that summer, three if you count the time before that, and Coffee sits at a very comfortable 2 million subscribers.

Wine usually leaves Coffee alone when he streams, happy to be sewing away in his room. He likes to listen to Coffee play from afar, it's become his favorite background noise, and sometimes he finds that he can't focus on his work unless Coffee is playing. Wine doesn't share Coffee's love for gaming, but he does enjoy the occasional platformer. He's far from being decent however, but that doesn't seem to be an issue for Coffee, who loves it when Wine accepts to play with him.

It's endearing to Wine, who feels like he gained a little brother.

Except that's apparently not what Coffee wants. Two days ago, after spending the day together shopping (Wine had promised Coffee's dad to get his son out of the apartment at least twice a week for some fresh air), Coffee confessed his feelings for Wine, and asked him to be his boyfriend.

Wine was taken aback, he never thought that Coffee liked him that way, and he'll admit that he never viewed the younger skeleton as a potential romantic interest. But that was before he asked Coffee to give him a couple days to think about it, and ever since then, Wine had done a lot of thinking about Coffee in a romantic way.

He still isn't sure about how he feels. Sure, he adores the lanky bean, and cares about him so very deeply, but he has a hard time figuring out the nature of that affection. He's always thought it's because he views Coffee as the little brother he's never had, but maybe there's more to it. He came to this realization when the thought of kissing Coffee as part of a romantic relationship didn't turn him off. On the contrary, he was curious about it. What would Coffee's mouth feel like? Is he a good kisser? From what Wine knows, Coffee doesn't seem to have much experience with that, but he doesn't really know much about his relationship during his two last years in highschool, when Wine was busy with college.

It's not that Wine wants to kiss Coffee, that at least would be easy to interpret. It's that he doesn't not want to kiss Coffee. Like, if the younger skeleton was to grab Wine by the collar and pull him into a kiss, Wine knows that he wouldn't object, and might even reciprocate.

Not that Coffee would ever do something so bold.

So Wine hasn't gotten back to his friend about his answer as to whether or not he wants to be Coffee's boyfriend, as he still needs to figure the answer out in the first place, but he's at least glad that they can still hang out together like usual. He does have noticed that Coffee is giving him more space, and it's easy to imagine why. Coffee is very introverted and shy, and it makes sense for him to get extra anxious now that he's confessed his feelings for Wine. Then again there's also the fact that Wine is currently very busy with his sewing projects, so while he never minds when his friend asks him if he wants to join for a game, Wine is happy with the current balance they have.

He gets a few snacks ready while Coffee sets the stream up in the living room, which really has become Coffee's streaming room over time. Wine doesn't watch TV much, so he really doesn't mind. They get comfortable before Coffee starts the stream.

"Hello everyone," he greets his audience, his anxiety bleeding out of him with the force of habit. He used to get tongue-tied when starting a stream, but after a few years of it being basically his job, he has no trouble being calm and collected in front of the cam. "We have a special guest with us tonight, so please say hello to Wine."

Wine waves at the cam as he reads the chat's reaction. Everyone is wishing him good luck to win against Coffee, even though everyone knows it'll never happen. He doesn't think he'll ever get used to interracting with people in a chat, it's such a weird feeling. People are watching him but in the living room there's no one but Coffee. They're alone, but also not. It's weird. For the most part, he just ignores the chat while playing, and he quickly forgets about it unless Coffee brings it up.

A couple messages draw his attention however, as they read: so, u 2 an item yet? if wine streams does it mean they're together now?

Wine can't help arching a brow bone as he points them out to Coffee, who turns bright yellow as he sputters.

"Guys, no, please, don't!! I told you not to bring it up, why would you do that to me!!" He panics with tears in his eyesockets as he hurries to hide the chat, furiously typing a response. "It's so none of you guys' business, oh my stars!"

Wine thinks he gets what's going on, and despite Coffee's panicked outburst, he can't resist teasing him.

"What's going on, Coffee? Did you tell them about… you know what?"

He means the confession of course, and Coffee must know it, but the way Wine slightly cocks his head to the side innocently with a mischievous grin confuses the chat, who doubles down with theories about the potential couple. Coffee struggles to find the words to get everyone to calm down, his cheeks burning brighter than the sun, and Wine can't help laughing at the sight. Coffee is so easy to rile up, and he's so darn cute.

Still, Wine knows the limits of the joke, and he finally turns to the camera with a serious expression.

"Alright guys, I get that you're all curious about it, but please let us deal with it in private first, okay? Whatever my answer to Coffee is, it's between him and I, and we'll let you know when we are comfortable doing so, not before. Okay?"

He peeks above Coffee's shoulder to check the chat on his computer screen, where he hasn't completely hidden it, and sees a mix of supportive reactions and messages that can only be considered fangirling. He never thought even in his wildest dreams that people would one day speculate on his dating status, yet there he is. It makes him laugh more than anything, though the same can't be said about Coffee, who's curled up into himself, cursing the chat out. It's all in good fun though, Wine can tell.

"Coffee, let's just play, they'll stop once they see we're not interested in commenting about it at the moment," he says gently as he places a comforting hand on his roommate's shoulder, who finally uncurls and starts the game.

Wine struggles at the beginning, as it's been a while since he's played with Coffee and he forgot the controls, but it quickly comes back to him once Coffee shows him. They're in co-op mode ad Coffee leads Wine, giving him pointers as to what he's supposed to do. They work well in tandem and Wine has a lot of fun. The game is difficult so they (well, at least Wine) die a lot and have to redo the levels several times. It's a nice feeling of accomplishment once they get to the goal, Wine can't deny it.

The more they play, the more relaxed Coffee gets, until he gets into his 'hyper' mode, where he's overly excited about everything and starts talking a lot and becomes very tactile. Coffee doesn't enjoy much physical contact on a daily basis, unless when he gets into hyper mode. Then he'll be all cuddly with Wine and try to hug him all the time. It was very confusing at first for Wine, to see the timid skeleton go from practically mute and haphephobic to rap god slash cuddling machine.

"Wine, we did it, we did it!!" Coffee beams excitedly as they've just finished a new level they've been struggling with for the last ten minutes. "I knew you could do it, you're so amazing!!!"

Wine can't deny that he preens at the praise. He's aware that he's not a great gamer by far, but his meagre skills are enough to show Coffee a good time and that's all that matters to him. He loves watching Coffee's bright and excited smile, and he can't help hugging Coffee back and nuzzling his skull.

"It's thanks to you, buddy, and your instructions. I couldn't do it without you."

Coffees beams at the compliment, his cheeks flushing an adorable lemon color as his charcoal eyesockets start to sparkle and if Wine is to be honest with himself, Coffee looks very beautiful right now.

Between the euphoria of beating a difficult level to the dizziness Wine's overthinking has turned his thoughts into, to Coffee's beautifully delicate smile, something comes over Wine and takes control of his body, making him wrap an arm around Coffee's shoulders. Instead of being surprised by the sudden contact, the lanky skeleton just stares fondly at Wine's face, and it's the last straw for his self-control.

He bends down and kisses Coffee.

He feels Coffee tense and Wine freezes in the kiss, realizing he went too far, before Coffee relaxes and kisses him back. Their tongues dance together, hot and wet and eager. Wine even places a careful hand on Coffee's cheek, running his thumb across the smooth bone, adjusting the angle of their kiss. Coffee grips the front of Wine's shirt as he moans into Wine's mouth, a quiet sound that resonates throughout Wine's body.

It takes them a couple minutes before breaking apart, their hungry mouths still connected by a thread of saliva. Wine's SOUL beats hard in his chest. It's not his first kiss, but it's definitely the first one that has him feeling so intense and breathless. From what he can see, Coffee isn't doing much better, he's panting and flushed, his eyesockets glazed and fuzzy around the edges.

Niether knows what to say for a moment, until Coffee clears his throat awkwardly.

"W-Wine… The stream…" He croaks, his voice barely above a whisper, as he points at the screen.

Wine can't see what's being said in the chat, but by the way it's scrolling at the speed of light, he's got an idea.

Right then and there, he makes his decision.

"Heh, I don't mind them knowing," he purrs, hooking a finger under Coffee's chin and lifting his face up. "No need to keep them in the dark, let them know that we're dating now."

Coffee gasps before Wine pulls him into another kiss.

RaR Musings #19.2: Market Saturation

There are WAY more ttrpgs out there than anybody realizes. I don't think it's possible to not be surprised by the knowledge that itch.io has 40 000 ttrpgs listed, 75% of which are available for free. But I would hazard to guess that most of them fall into one of three categories, all of which contribute to bloat for different reasons:

One Page Rules. There's nothing inherently wrong with this game format, but the speed of development and shallowness of play mean that it very rapidly blows out the listings. Too many options only bewilders people looking for something to play, and while they might pick one at random, learn it, and play it, and have fun, all in the span of an afternoon, they all start to blur together, until it's this insurmountable wall of products that really don't contribute anything meaningful to the medium.

Reinventing The Wheel. Arguably Road and Ruin can fall into this category, but a lot of them are simply making a game for the sake of it. They aren't really game designers, and they bombard rpg boards and forums with questions like "does this dice system make sense?", "I have an idea, does anyone know if it's been done before", and so on. Generic Medieval Fantasy RPG #23,489 is hardly going to make much of an impact on things, and due to either an overfamiliarity with a single product, never having played another product, or possibly only ever having played a single game session, they end up applying a lot of their resources toward reinventing things that have already been made a hundred times over, believing themselves to be some remarkable visionary.

D20 Reskins. This is a little like reinventing the wheel, but I personally loathe this more than the other two. The D20 system that originated in Dungeons and Dragons isn't a bad system, and it's had some 40-50 years and dozens of designers and hundreds of thousands of players to refine it into a game that is just complicated enough and just easy enough to learn and play that it still dominates the market. But for the love of god, stop reskinning DND. It's infuriating that there is still so much fanatic loyalty to a game system that is, often, and often intentionally, underdeveloped and pushed out for a quick buck, and prospective designers who take that disappointment and direct it toward a new DND, one with new classes (they're the same), new enemies (they're the same), new places, items, spells, or mechanics. The world of D20 reskins and DND homebrew is a massive wasteland, players relying on influencers and streamers to tell them how to play and sifting through the ashes for the occasional nugget of good game design, that just gets lost in the noise of everyone cannibalizing a broken and underdeveloped product for whatever scrap of attention and ad revenue that they can get. A couple decades of "don't worry, YOU make the game!" will do that to you.

Any of the above that are successful are rarely the result of good design. OPRs like Goblin With A Fat Ass are more about shock value, getting a giggle out of entertainment junkies who flit from one novelty to the next, desperate for anything that can be sensationalized for even a microsecond. I've heard of maybe 8 "Avatar the Last Airbender" ttrpg projects in the last couple of years, and that's just since I started reading places that they're posted in, and half of any "brand new ttrpg" based on a recognized license is just a D20 reskin, hastily cobbling together any mechanics like guns or driving that aren't readily available in DND.

No, the ones that are successful are the result of clout. DNDtubers and streamers who command an audience of thousands are a great source of recurring ad revenue and product pushing for anything anyone wants to pay them to sell, and the hit-the-ground-running success of rpgs created by prominent streamers in the wake of the WOTC implosion are solely due to that clout. They might not be good designers, they might not be able to do much beyond fix DND, and they might never have built a game before, but that doesn't matter, here's four million dollars.

I sound bitter about this. In a way, I am. Despite making Road and Ruin for fun, I can't deny that I haven't fantasized once or twice about the project getting fans. Even a hundred, even fifty, even twenty, ten, FIVE people who look at what I've done, and genuinely like it, who'd be excited for new developments as I continue to expand on options for probably the rest of my life.

I think about what would have happened if I'd released Road and Ruin a couple years ago, before the "fracturing of the fanbase", or even during it, amidst the clamor of streamers all announcing their own projects. What would happen if I released it now, or what would happen if I waited a couple years for the market of non-DND games to grow a little, as more people accept that DND isn't the only game in town. Is there an opportunity anywhere? Was there, and I missed it?

Then I remember that I'm making this game for me, for fun, and that's all it should be. I already hold myself to a lofty standard, but one of quality, not one of fame and fortune or popularity. I shouldn't anticipate any success, but if I want others to like the game, I should continue considering what other people want, what other people feel. I shouldn't ever put anything in my life on hold, using the project as an excuse, or prioritize it over anything important. It won't be going anywhere, and neither will I.

Play to Profit

The Monetization of the Gaming Community

Gaming communities have long been on the same page with shared joy, camaraderie, and the love of gameplay. However, as the gaming industry evolves, substantial transformation is noticeable. The question arises: Are gaming communities gradually pivoting from being about play to becoming driven by money? In this blog, we delve into the changing dynamics within gaming communities, exploring how the desire for profit reshapes the nature of gaming.

The Emergence of Monetization Platforms

The rise of streaming platforms like Twitch has undeniably altered the landscape of gaming communities (Nucciarelli et al. 2017). Initially conceived as a platform for gamers to share their experiences, Twitch has evolved into a cash cow for many. The introduction of features like channel subscriptions, donations, and ad revenue has spawned a new breed of content creators—entrepreneurial gamers seeking financial gains. While these platforms provide opportunities for streamers to monetize their passion, some streamers like CDawgVA host Charity Streams where all proceeds of the stream go to charity (Shrivastava 2023).

E-Sports and the Commercialization Wave

E-sports, once shunned upon, has now exploded onto the mainstream scene, bringing both recognition and commercialization (Hou, Yang & Panek 2020). The mass marketing of e-sports events has transformed competitive gaming into a multi-billion-dollar industry where sponsorships, advertising deals, and massive prize pools have become the norm (Abanazir 2021). With the increase in momentum of internet usage, evolution of technology backed by the increase in viewership of Esports online due to the pandemic, this has led to its rise in growth (Yue, Rui & Chiang 2020).

The Gamification of Monetization within Games

In-game purchases, microtransactions, and virtual currencies have become common features in gaming today. While these elements contribute to the revenue stream for game developers, they have also reshaped the dynamics of gaming communities (Anderson, 2018). The gamification of monetization introduces a commercial nature into the gaming experience, blurring the lines between play and profit. In this case, players are not just participants; they are consumers in a virtual marketplace. This shift challenges the traditional idea of gaming as a leisure activity driven by a love for play.

Conclusion

Overall, it can be seen that the nature of gaming has gradually been commercialized. While economic opportunities are prevalent, it is important to preserve the core values that define gaming cultures: fun, joy, and good gameplay (Jones, 2020). Striking a balance between play and profit is crucial to ensure that gaming communities remain vibrant and true to their roots. As monetization continues to weave its way into the gaming scene, maintaining the essence of shared joy, enthusiasm, and genuine connection is key to preserving the unique and cherished spirit of gaming communities.

LA POSTE x TETRIS​

Agence : Wings (BETC/Havas)​ Dispositif : brand content / logistique responsable / activation digitale​

Plutôt que d’inventer une nouvelle promesse RSE, La Poste détourne le principe de Tetris pour optimiser le remplissage de ses camions. Résultat : la marque triple la capacité par camion, passant de 1 500 à 4 500 colis transportés. À la clé : 15 000 tonnes de CO₂ économisées par an, sans modifier la flotte. Une logique ludique appliquée à la logistique.​

Mais au-delà du gain opérationnel, c’est toute la narration qui fonctionne : un jeu culte pour parler d’efficacité, un timbre collector pour activer la culture populaire, un reveal à Vivatech avec le PDG de la poste et la PDG de tetris  crédibiliser la démarche et une diffusion 100 % digitale jusqu’à Twitch avec un live animé par de célèbre streamer. Une façon de connecter la marque avec les jeunes​

Une idée simple, visuelle, immédiatement compréhensible… mais surtout utile. Ici, pas de storytelling plaqué. Juste un insight malin​
