magfest 2020 

now done with - what an absolutely magnificent experience. i participated in a one-hour music battle, tried the bally astrocade, bought a dreamcast, and played lots of neon fm and pinball

also i hung out in the demoparty a lot! what a cool part of the con. i definitely wanna submit to the compo next year

also!!! the con was crackling with queer energy, from decorations to attendees to staff to panelists and panel topics, and i fuckin loved it

i can't wait to go back!!

magfest 2020 con haul 

here's my traditional con haul picture. i tried to spend more lightly this time around. clearly i didn't do as well as i thought

not pictured: four buttons that are currently on the backpack i was using, and one of the shirts i got because i wore it and it's in the laundry hamper now

lovely art of my oc Chayan that i commissioned from Nightmargin (on twitter) at magfest. bard friend

magfest 2020 con haul, oneshot (maybe spoilers?) 

that box with a clover on it is actually some kinda OneShot package put together by a japanese doujin circle, i guess? i bought it at nightmargin's booth so i guess it's official merch

it has some nice postcards and a remix album. i haven't looked too closely at any of it cos i want to play the game first

@typhlosion Well, as long as you had (and continue to have!) fun and remain secure, that's all that matters!
