currently i do not have any houseplants but over the summer/fall i had a great balcony herb garden with a strawberry and i was so proud of it and i do have pictures of that. also had basil and tomatos and i DID make foccocia with those and it was truly divine. also: fungi my beloved. FUNGI MY BELOVED go u funky lil guys,,,,,,,, did you know that theres a species of cicadia that is symbiotic with cordyceps? theres a bug that has decided to befriend the fungus that is notorious for mind controlling and then murdering bugs it infects. how. why. im baffled. im amazed. u go u funky lil cicadia dudes. also, gaming!!! don't know what kinda games you're into but here are my personal favorites: any zachtronics game, if you're into tricky programming/puzzlers. apico, which is currently only in demo but is a cute little stardew-esque game about bees. epistory/nanotale, two great typing games from the same devs. epistory is one of my fave all time games, both in story, and gameplay, and aestetic, and soundtrack. factorio, which is a factory builder/logistics game. very fun. very addicting. make the belt sphagetti of your dreams. two games to go into knowing as little as possible about them because curiosity/exploration/discovery is so much a part of them: hollow knight, and the outer wilds (not the outer worlds. the outer wilds. they released the same year i Know it is confusing) hollow knight is a 2d metroidvania about bugs, very pretty, great art style, amazing music, plot is something else entirely. the outer wilds is.... listen the less i say the better. its amazing. i cannot overstate how amazing it is. it's about space exploration, as you're a new pilot set to discover the secrets of your solar system. it's about exploration, in the purest sense of the world. it is about curiosity. it is about discovery. it is fucking fantastic please play it. i will yell about it for 3000000 years if neccecary. it made me cry and that is the best review i can give to a peice of media. please. if you do not want to play it please watch a playthrough. (if u do not have a youtuber you like to watch that has played this, i recommend nerdcubed's playthrough) also, playlists! first one (here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1yoSzTTHVM6Q6f5FK3ouVm?si=433e3efcdab940c0) is one i made for an AI tony fic that i have Not finished and likely never will. second one (here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7bNlGmAsvd11zr1lnT9TOb?si=04a1ecdd40ac4c8b) is the Vibes of the astronaut vampire story i wanna write some day. its fun. i've also got a stevetony playlist (here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3TPomzklPh1jHMlGbWcJ0D?si=70c794c120744932) that is... 100% just "mcu cw but as a breakup playlist low-key from tony's pov" so take that as you will. not a learning rec, but podcast-wise: wolf 359 is a great podcast/audiodrama that i adore. it is a workplace comedy/drama on the hephastus space station, which is orbiting the star, uh, well... wolf 359. featuring commander minkovsky whom i would follow to my death with no hesitation, doctor hilbert the bog-standard creepy russian scientest man, officer eiffle the depressed mess whom i would die for, and hera the station AI who i would take all of the bullets for. also featuring: many themes about identity and memory and what makes a person a person, betrayal, loyalty, memory, and music. happy holidays!
