We&#8217;ve seen her in Super Monkey Ball, Fall Guys, and now Fortnite, and while I&#8217;m pleased that more people are getting to understand what exactly the enigma of internet icon Hatsune Miku is, I can&#8217;t help feeling like these appearances are getting more obscure. The most recent addition to this roster is a Hatsune Miku DLC for <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3301060\/Desktop_Mate\/\" target=\"_blank\">Desktop Mate<\/a>, a &#8216;game&#8217; available on Steam that puts a sentient anime mascot (referred to as a desktop pet) on your screen.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know what a desktop pet is, then I&#8217;ll try and break it down to the best of my ability without sounding like I&#8217;ve lost the plot. It&#8217;s a virtual creature, or in this case, anime girl, who lives on your desktop screen and occasionally interacts with you. If you&#8217;ve ever owned a Tamagotchi, it&#8217;s basically like that but on a larger scale and you don&#8217;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&#8217;s newspapers, I probably wouldn&#8217;t have decided to spend the money on this DLC.<\/p>\n<p>You may find yourself asking why you would ever want to download this. Truth be told, I don&#8217;t really know why I felt so compelled to. But to me it feels no different than an idle game. Except I&#8217;ve got no need to keep checking it to make sure whatever I&#8217;m monitoring is going well, nor is it as distracting as I find having an idle game running in the background. With Desktop Mate, Miku will sit on my toolbar or play peekaboo with the side of my monitor. It&#8217;s nothing groundbreakingly special, and it doesn&#8217;t have the typical features of a desktop pet since you don&#8217;t need to worry about feeding it.<\/p>\n<p>As cute as she is though, she&#8217;s not great for productivity. Even when typing this article I&#8217;m having to battle with a pocket-sized Miku running around trying to grab my mouse. I&#8217;ve had this with other desktop pets in the past, and at first I&#8217;m always charmed by them running around my screen chasing my mouse. But unlike the thumbprint sized bundle of pixels resembling a pet I&#8217;ve had in the past, the significantly larger anime character makes it a lot harder to evade.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"RYsMwo4XoSrVWZRFh8McPf\" name=\"Miku Desktop Mate\" alt=\"Hatsune Miku on top of the taskbar in Desktop Mate\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/to-the-dismay-of-my-colleagues-i-paid-15-for-this-hatsune-miku-desktop-pet-so-you-dont-have-to.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: infiniteloop)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For $15, I do wish there was a bit more going on. The interactions are pretty limited and clicking the avatar only results in a brief change of expression or a wave of the hands. Most of the time once you place her on your taskbar or on the side of your screen she&#8217;ll stay there until you move her again. I expected slightly more sentience for what I was paying for, but I&#8217;m sure having her drag my tabs around or jumping between my monitors when I&#8217;m trying to focus on something or even play another game would give me a little more to complain about than just stealing my mouse.<\/p>\n<p>This does feel like just the beginning for Desktop Mate though, and Hatsune Miku is a massive character to essentially launch with. It does keep me optimistic for more characters released in the future, and given they don&#8217;t all cost the same I&#8217;d happily spend some pennies on a couple additional characters later down the line. I&#8217;d also want to see some improved interactions and a little more substance to what exactly they do first rather than just letting you move them around and then watching you work away.<\/p>\n<p>So is Desktop Mate an effective desktop pet? Yes. Is the Hatsune Miku DLC worth $15? No. Absolutely not. As much as I love Hatsune Miku, and I can&#8217;t express how this isn&#8217;t even close to the most amount of money I&#8217;ve ever spent on her, I cannot recommend spending $15 for the sake of her just living in your computer for a bit. It&#8217;s cute, sure. If it was on sale and you&#8217;re an avid collector of all things Vocaloid, then it might seem like a little more bang for your buck.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/to-the-dismay-of-my-colleagues-i-paid-usd15-for-this-hatsune-miku-desktop-pet-so-you-dont-have-to\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hatsune Miku has been doing the rounds when it comes to collabs at the moment.
