Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, January 18, 2026 5:44 AM The Sunday Papers       Sundays are for walking around your home, looking for somewhere to install the home security camera you got for your birthday, and realising a) how few unused surfaces actually exist in this space and b) it was pretty stupid to ask for a home security camera when you knew full well its only purpose would be keeping an eye on the cat while you're out. And she's the cat equivalent of a human octogenarian. What, exactly, is she going to do, that might warrant establishing a surveillance state in your own living room? And seriously, how is there not a single inch of unused shelf? Better, it sounds like, to have a seat and reason quality articles. Go on, while no-one's watching. Read more

Destructoid Sunday, January 18, 2026 1:45 AM How to find Doris in Heartopia – Secret vendor location, stock, and respawn times       Doris, a vendor/trader unlike any other you'll come across in Heartopia, and finding her is a challenge in itself. Most vendors have fixed locations, and they're available there whenever you visit. Doris, on the other hand, has different locations, and her appearance is also reliant on the ongoing weather inside Heartopia. However, this secret vendor offers some of the rarest items in the game, and this guide will provide you with all the information you might need. Table of contents How to find Doris in Heartopia Rain and snowfall location Rainbow Meteor Showers All Doris items in Heartopia Rain and snowfall Rainbow How to find Doris in Heartopia Doris, unlike other vendors, doesn't have a permanent shop. Hence, she doesn't have a fixed location. She appears only during specific weather conditions. Her location, if she appears, will be dependant on that, and you'll need to use your in-game watch. Here's a list of weather events when you'll be able to find Doris. Rain Snowfall Meteors Rainbows Her location during rain and snow will be the same. I am also talking about active snowfall, and not a regular snowy day (left me confused when I misunderstood it myself). Screenshot and remix by Destructoid Rain and snowfall location You'll find Doris in the Art Street district in the main town if it's raining or a snowfall is actively taking place. You'll find her standing in her stall. Rainbow Rainbows typically appear in Heartopia after it stops raining. Doris can be found at the base of the rainbow. This won't be a fixed location, and it will depend on where the rainbow has spawned. Meteor Showers Meteor shower is an extremely rare event that also doesn't have a fixed location. They can be found at Onsen Mountain, as per the community, but I have yet to find one. All Doris items in Heartopia The exact stock of items that Doris sells in Heartopia is also reliant on the weather event. Rain and snowfall Roll Cake recipe Colored Sugar (used to make different Roll Cake variants) Umbrellas (used to make designs like a rainbow) Postcards Rainbow Roll Cake recipe Rainbow emote Postcards Colored sugar (used to create Roll Cake variants) You can also find exclusive Meteorite furniture and the Pray emote during the Meteorite event from Doris.
