Iirc from my time on kbin, posts are for the “microblog” part, i.e. the part that interacts with mastodon.

So, I feel like 2, maybe with 3 in certain high-traffic areas, would be a good idea, for a couple reasons:

1. increased visibility for vehicles, particularly in places with a lot of pedestrians, who might not all have their own lights or be too inebriated to use them.
2. nighttime socializing outdoors, such as markets, streets with lots of nightlife, plazas, etc. Sure, small personal lights could become incorporated into fashion, but those also need to be powered, and would have to illuminate faces without blinding anyone. Public lighting just seems easier.
3. less isolating for night shift workers (if that’s a thing in the world you’re writing).

Could even have 2 shut off in quieter neighborhoods that have no open businesses during the wee hours.

Not Gamescom-related, but there was a Nintendo Direct that showed off some indie/partner games on the 27th, and a CoD thing today (the 28th), if either of those were what you were thinking of?

Only other thing that comes to mind is maybe the Future Games Show, but that was last week (list of trailers here).

I’m fine with articles, but would prefer them to be informative about process or history. It’d also be nice if any posted article included a piece of art in the thumbnail, so everyone still gets something to look at.
