Goooooooood morning, friends!! 🥰 SGDQ has come to a close, and we're getting back to Paper Mario: The Origami King! Come hang out for coffee, casual playthroughs and accidental confetti parties! twitch.tv/Lanaruse

This is a SUPER janky recording off my Switch Lite since you cant upload directly in Tomodachi Life...but this should give you a taste of the chaos that is to come... 😆 Enjoy this fully random conversation that some Zeldathon team Miis had about @jacksonparodi.bsky.social . Watch Super Zeldathon! ✨️

Got the GDQBlues? Fear not, another charity marathon is on the horizon!! Super Zeldathon starts in ONE WEEK! And our schedule came out woooo! 🥳 Excited to announce that you can join me for a Tomodachi Life - Hyrule Island Adventure on Friday July 24th to support St Jude! ✨️ zeldathon.com/schedule

Another event has come and gone and we raised 2.4 MILLION DOLLARS for Doctors Without Borders! 🥹 While I was fully remote this time, I was so grateful to work on the Host Committee for my second and final term, selecting the final host cast with the coords and my 2 buddies. 💜 Host team rocked it 🥳

Turns out that my cheat code to feel good in life is just a cup of coffee, peaceful folk music and sitting in the sunny backyard listening to the kids play. 🥹 Doing all I can to soak in these precious moments while they're here and feeling so grateful for this little life. ✨️

I've been away at the cabin so it's time to slowly catch up on everything!! 🤩 In case you missed it, the 3rd episode of Zeldathon Historia is NOW LIVE!! If you've been wanting to learn more about our Wellness Team and the work they do, come listen to my chat with @loveshorsesgirl.bsky.social 💜✨️

Last night, I completed my very first Star Fox run! 💪 Still tons of progress to be made, but super proud that we didn't need to use any continues! The visuals and music are STUNNING and I have been having a wonderful time...I do need to improve my Landmaster driving though... 😆

Want to hear more Lana yaps? Come and hang out for GDQ Hotfix's Express Lane tonight - I'll be on commentary as @soulmass218.powerupwithpri.de crushes through the Neva Prologue DLC! 🥳 We'll be on around the 10:30 ET mark and going for about half an hour! See you there! twitch.tv/Gamesdonequick

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for a first look at @deerandboy.com today to celebrate their launch day!! Our journey is already so emotional and I felt well challenged by the stealth sections and puzzle solving as we made our way through various obstacles! Join us for more soon!! 💜✨️

EXCITING NEWS!! @deerandboy.com is out today, and we were very fortunate to have been given a key from @guillotine.agency to give all of you a first look for launch day! 🥳 This was one of my most anticipated from the Wholesome Direct, come join us for coffee! Paper Mario later! twitch.tv/Lanaruse

This is your regular reminder to play @nomada.studio's Neva. 🙏 Main game can easily be completed in ~5 hours, Prologue DLC in another 1-2. The visuals and music are incredibly captivating, the combat is very fluid, and the story is beautifully heart-wrenching. It was my GotY 2024, give it a try! 💜✨️

Sipping: Rogue Wave Ecuador Azuay/Loja Community Lot, Natural Process. ☕️ (many more on the docket) Reading: Panic by Lauren Oliver (loved the show, got mad they canceled it haha!) 📚 Playing: Outer Wilds 🚀 Listening: The Arcadian Wild 🎵 What's on your plate this week? ✨️

One more thing to mention is that there is CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION!! Had to go with the purple hair, of course. 😉

Lou's Lagoon comes out on August 27th 2026 on Steam, and will also be available on Nintendo Switch, Playstation 5 and Xbox systems! 💜✨️ I'll likely be playing through more of the demo soon because I just can't get enough!!

We had such a great time doing our rapid-fire 30 minute Steam Next Fest demos last night, but one in particular really stood out to me - @tinyroargames.bsky.social 's Lou's Lagoon. Vibrant colours, charming characters, resource collection and a mystery! I'll 100% be watching for the full release. 👀

Tonight is the first stream of the official Lanaruse Cozy Corner - evening streams that focus on cozy, wholesome content! 💜✨️ Right now, we are celebrating Steam Next Fest and will be checking out upcoming cozy game demos for 30 minutes apiece. Have you found any new faves yet? Join me at 9 pm ET!

The second episode of Zeldathon Historia is NOW LIVE on our Patreon!! If you'd love to hear from our team members about their past and present with the marathon, come check it out - all episodes will be available at the 5$ tier!! 💜✨️ On this week's episode, I sit down with Inclement to chat tech!

I also went back for the moment right before that where I genuinely thought I was losing my mind... 🫠 (this girl needs more sleep hahaha!)

Thank you SO much to everyone for joining me for my first Paper Mario stream! We had a blast, even though a few things went wrong for us in the game... 😆 Hope you enjoyed the beautiful new overlay from @daniel.gvg.io , make sure to check out his work if you ever need art/animation! 💜 More soon!

TOMORROW MORNING, 10 AM ET! 💜✨️ We are starting a brand new game, going back to our Mario roots for the first time in a minute! I am also beyond excited to reveal a new stream overlay, created by my incredibly talented friend, @daniel.gvg.io . Have a tiny sneak peek for now. 😉 twitch.tv/Lanaruse

Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave Dagdan Collection pre-order secured 💪 Anyone else joining me in the Dagdan Empire come September? 😉 I put over 250 hours into Fire Emblem Three Houses and I couldn't be more excited for this upcoming game aaaaaaaahhh!!

Excited to be back to streams very soon as my free time comes back shortly 😍 We'll be wrapping up Coffee Talk Tokyo and then on to a fun game I've had on my list for a while... It's about time that Mario made a reappearance on the channel 😉✨️

The Miraidon in particular was super fun because I happened to pick it from my second ever god pack wonder pick! Still never seen a god pack myself but ah well 🥲🙏

Bit late on this one, but I finished Paradox Drive! Wonder picks have been kind to me, and now we're back to pulling for Gold Mew and crossing our fingers 😆🤞 #PokémonTCGPocket

Picture taken from the Nintendo account! 💜✨️ Yesterday featured SO many exciting games that I am looking forward to - here's the big list of what was shown off! On top of everything I mentioned yesterday, The Duskbloods has had my attention since the initial announcement. 👀 Let me know your faves!!

I am OVERJOYED 😭 This was SUCH a good Nintendo Direct for me, and I couldn't be more excited for the upcoming titles that were announced and talked about. You have NO idea how many hours I put into plane mode in Wii Sports Resort 😆 I teared up a few times, these will be all-timers for me. 💜✨️

Why am I looking forward to a new Fire Emblem game? No reason. 😇 Perfectly unrelated throwback clip below...

Tomorrow 👀 What are we hoping for?? I am desperately wanting more Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave news and hopefully some Zelda 40th anniversary treats!! I won't be able to stream any reactions during the Direct, but you can bet I'll be watching and hyping games up here, afterwards! 💜✨️

As always, if you love cozy games and wild adventures, make sure to follow me here or catch my live streams at twitch.tv/Lanaruse so you can join the fun. We always have coffee and good chats! 💜
