YvoCaro Plays

This recurring series of articles on LadiesGamers is back. I plan to make it a weekly feature. As always, these thoughts just spring up in my mind, sometimes game related, sometimes they are not. But I do try to make it an entertaining read. This weeks’ article is called Mainstream Garbage, the downside of digital games and magical translations.

Evriun designed a very cool image for the articles with en elderly YvoCaro knitting away while sharing gaming stories. Exactly how I envision myself in the future! And by the way, if you like these blurbs of gaming thoughts, you can find the previous ones here.
