Hatsune Miku has been doing the rounds when it comes to collabs at the moment. We've seen her in Super Monkey Ball, Fall Guys, and now Fortnite, and while I'm pleased that more people are getting to understand what exactly the enigma of internet icon Hatsune Miku is, I can't help feeling like these appearances are getting more obscure. The most recent addition to this roster is a Hatsune Miku DLC for Desktop Mate, a 'game' available on Steam that puts a sentient anime mascot (referred to as a desktop pet) on your screen.
If you don't know what a desktop pet is, then I'll try and break it down to the best of my ability without sounding like I've lost the plot. It's a virtual creature, or in this case, anime girl, who lives on your desktop screen and occasionally interacts with you. If you've ever owned a Tamagotchi, it's basically like that but on a larger scale and you don't have to worry about any of the responsibility of feeding it or cleaning up after it. If I was responsible for changing Hatsune Miku's newspapers, I probably wouldn't have decided to spend the money on this DLC.
