'The study, “Opposing Influences of YouTube Influencers: Purchase and Usage Effects in the Video Game Industry,” provides the first causal evidence of how influencer marketing affects gaming. Researchers found that although YouTube gaming content increases playtime, it may also discourage purchases – particularly for narrative-driven games in which viewers can experience the full storyline by watching playthroughs.'

My latest artwork is a shinto shrine inspired by the town of Sawara, Japan. Also, the first pixel art I've made in Krita on Linux! I could never get Clip Studio Paint to work with Lutris so knowing I can transfer this workflow is awesome.

Long image description (with some anatomy of a shrine type terminology) on my site gallery: https://pixelglade.net/artwork/pixelart.html#pixelart-shinto-shrine-sawara

It's official: the Vault is open, and treasures are for sale. I can hopefully be forgiven for this singular advertisement of my new #eBay store. All sorts of board & card #games, #videogames, #puzzles, and other #collectibles will be on offer. This isn't about profit; my financial situation is dire and I'm weeks from potential homelessness. Any bids/orders/sharing of links would be deeply appreciated. Check back regularly; many things will be going up there day by day. ebay.com/usr/puzzleandgameesta
