Bobby Kotick keeps a close eye on all the girls at Blizzard.

Not gonna lie, that sounds slightly illegal (likely isn’t?) and also slightly disgusting. Like, I’d probably dig the esthetic, but I don’t want random peoples blood in my PC.

I seem to remember something similar a little while ago except it was like a pair of shoes or something.

Edit: It was Lil Nas X and his Satan Nikes.

Kiss did something similar with a comic book back in the '70s.

Well I guess you could use your own blood if you really want to

Why not? How often are you taking your PC apart?

This is very cool apart from the body fluids in your prize thing, because that’s fucking stupid.

Depending on whose blood it is, it could be pretty cool. Some rando’s blood? Gross. Gamer girl blood? Excellent heat conductor.

But if the gamer girl can’t perfectly pass a True Gamer’s exam of 125 extremely specific questions, then they are a fake gamer and the PC will burst into flames. /s

Can’t wait to have the blood go rancid and spill everywhere

Worth noting it is “infused with” i.e. probably a very small ratio of blood to water.

More likely than not, any BBP would die before transferring to you through an open wound months later. HIV can only survive outside the body for minutes. Not sure how long Hep C lasts, but I can’t imagine it would be longer than a few days at most.

Gross, but I don’t imagine anyone would be doing a fluid swap before the one year mark (normally, without blood)
