yep

ohmygosh I forgot to include this incredible pic in the larger thread, but thank you so so much for coming! Was lovely hanging out with you and @ninfadp.bsky.social!

Let's get that place to the full ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it deserves.

- Tons of stickers, again the theme was great cuz it meant more Chao content
- My sweet sweet child from the "ugly pokemon $5" bucket
- Looking at a development DS prototype that's just a big-ass board
- Paying respects to a legend

- Hanging out with Blitzen, the 999/999/999/999 Chao available in the consoles space (amazing theme this year)
- Gettin pegged as a MH die-hard on _Wednesday_, and collecting a mess of ribbons etc (can't believe the pattern in that button one...)
- Wacca Good (Bocchi good)

- Really just so many new games this year, including a bunch from student devs and first-time MAGFest attendees which we love to see
- Also got to know some of our returning devs a WHOLE lot better
- I now play the Digimon TCG pls trade me promo seadramons

- Twistin Fingers, Guessing Hues, Plugging Chugs, tbh a banner year for “this is a game so detached from any other game you’ve played you’ll be fine”
- Having some 10/10 all star volunteers who already said they wanna help with off season work hell yeah help us pls help us there is so much to do

- Showing off the games from our Lever Up alt ctrl gamejam, admittedly not quite the way we wanted to but still showin em, including my first every game at MAG
- Meeting a ton of the jam's participants, trying to fix the console on the show floor, and figuring out what "good enough" looked like

- Seeing a CONSTANT stream of people playing with @robinwobbles.bsky.social Quantum Jungle, which has metrics and averaged 5 spring-touches per second over the 72 hour event
- Briefly introducing Robin to Beyblade, trying to explain why it is both very dumb and very fun

no i'm doing fine why do you ask
