Good news, everyone!

Seriously I have no idea how that cosplay will even look but I like

- Hollow Knight
- Hornet
- incentives getting met

so even though it looks like the run will be pushed late I will catch it.

I have never heard of D.va, but a quick Google search tells me she is from Overwatch where she does this:

That's a lot of Red Bull. Do they have that for the interviews or for the overnight runs?

So, fun fact about the Red Bull, if I have everything correct: ESA Winter was sponsored by Red Bull. We got free Red Bull and Red Bull Cola, and there were Red Bull brand fridges of varying sizes in the venue.

The fridges you see on stream and some more in the stream room are the same fridges as on ESA Winter. Red Bull doesn't sponsor this ESA, but apparently they never came to get their fridges back and we had a whole lot of Red Bull left over too. So... free ice cream, free popcorn, and free Red Bull. And a discount at the local Domino's from which I just ate a pizza that was definitely too big but whatevs, next time I'm getting a smaller size though.

How's the venue this time? Seems like it's a bit smaller than the indoor arena.

Also her in-universe backstory includes that she was a professional StarCraft 2 streamer before she went into South Korea's MEKA unit to fight mecha godzilla.

Also in her 'sit down' emote she starts using her MEKA to stream a video game in between eating Doritos and drinking Mt. Dew.

D.Va is cool and good.

I hope Red Bull has a long shelf life. :v:

I've had a red bull only once I can recall. I thought it was fine, but too expensive to buy regularly.

It's great! The roomyou see on stream is only the main streaming space, which also has practice TVs and poo poo in the back, kind of like the arena. But there's a lot more - just outside is a bunch of arcades (and the free popcorn and ice cream), then there's more rooms for practice and tabletop gaming and stuff like that. I don't know which one is actually bigger by physical space but this one is much much better than Fortnox.

I mean, at ESA Winter we absolutely had less space than at Fortnox and that was still a much better venue so it's also that Fortnox was actually not a good venue, I liked the venues we had in Sk�vde better than that one too.

the best part is that Blizzard added that emote in response to the entire internet collectively deciding she was a horrible gremlin child living on doritos and mtn dew

There is plenty of that other kind of fan art of D.Va as well, though.

Red Bull honestly has nothing special going for it as far as being an energy drink goes, and the Red Bull Cola tastes more like cola-flavoured ice cream in liquid form than, well, cola, but as long as it's free I'm not going to complain. Would absolutely not buy it though givenn that it's lol-expensive for being an energy drink and there's bigger cans of brands with varieties that actually taste good for cheaper available.
