Technologyra - *Technologyra

I used to play video games. Now that I discovered HDG I don't play video games anymore because the average story I read is a more fulfilling experience than anything on my steam library rn. It's nice to find media that appeals to me on this level. The cognitohazard thing wasn't a joke tho these stories have taken up all the space in my brain. I haven't touched Reddit in days.

Yearning hard, or hardly yearning

If we had a dollar for every HDG story that fucked us up and helped us find an aspect of ourselves, uh, we could probably buy a mid-sized plushie or smthing right now.

Seriously, y'all do not miss.

i regret nothing

Poor flower boy he was never meant to leave ground and go fast :c

day 3: comfort

So peeved that I was so late to playing these games that I missed the 10 year anniversary plushie drops. I have the immense dishonour of being the only person to have ever been scalped on a *Hyun-ae plushie and at this point I would gladly do it again for *Mute.

We're making a *Mute plushie, too!

Don’t call her gossipy or judgmental—Mute’s just diligent in her job as a security AI who needs to keep on top of everything. Over the centuries, she’s been through many different incarnations, as the namesake of Mute Security Systems fulfills her job title of Keeping the Mugunghwa Safe Since 2390, but this version of her is the cutest yet as she performs an all new mission: keeping watch over your own desk. Is it also the softest and most huggable version of her yet? Well… you’ll never find out, okay? She’d never want that! She’s never secretly longed for that even a little bit! Don't even think about it! ...well, maybe it would be okay if you gave her just a little bit of a squeeze.

You can preorder her here right now!

I've been looking forward to announcing this for so long, we actually designed her around the same time as the *Hyun-ae plushie, but of COURSE I needed to have her be accompanied by everyone's favourite little hater from Analogue: A Hate Story. She was also made in collaboration with Makeship and it took a lot of work to make sure we translated her complex design faithfully, including her headdress, but my rule has always been that I don't want to ever see merch that I wouldn't want to own myself—so I'm really happy we were able to get it right.

The way Makeship works is that they take crowdfunded preorders and only make that many, and they'll need to get 200 orders to make it happen. It'll cost $29.99 and orders will be open until February 25.

(Thanks again for all your support... we just passed the 12th anniversary of the game's release a couple weeks ago, and I'm deeply grateful that the story of the characters Raide and I made together twelve years ago has touched so many people. Even if *Mute would scoff at me for being so sentimental.)

first day at work
