As a Jungian author - who uses hermetic symbolism in her work - I can indeed confirm that my parents caught me with an Alchemy Engine under my bed as a wee lass... 🫢

I'm so grateful Louise Blackwick has finally broken the silence about her being a #limerent author. Lots of creatives suffer from #limerence and they never admit.💙📚
It's a comforting thought to know someone as successful as her has managed to transmute that living hell into literary masterpieces.💓💘

One of the best-written villains in videogame history, imho.
Mysterious, haunting & cunning. Reminds me of Mephistopheles.
His theme song is amazing (& works as a metal cover as well) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtNK...

Question for anyone who's previously attended #Gamescom:
I'm planning to attend the next Gamescom (26-30 August 2026 in Köln, Germany) as a VISITOR, yet I've no clue which days to pick.😕
It's a 2.5h drive from where I live, so it's doable, but I can't be there on all the days. Which days are best?
