The Beauty by Aliya Whiteley is suppose to be about a society where all the women died some time ago and the last generation of men are trying to survive and cope with that. I have not read it yet though so I am not sure if they include any trans characters and their fates, but maybe it will interest you.

If you have a spray bottle you can mix water and a bit of soap and spray down the flowers to knock them off. It also makes a slippery surface so they should have a hard time getting back on. Though tomatoes don’t usually like water on the stalks or leaves too much so be careful and try to target the affected areas only.

Mods can be an option but some are harder than others to use. I do find that a lot of mainstream games have a pretty good range of difficulties these days (including story mode etc), but definitely not all games.

Honestly it was really handy to have a pen and paper around for Elden Ring for me. There was just so much I wanted to keep track of so that I could come back or to make connections. But it’s also a very acquired taste kind of game to go through!

It’s been over a year now since I’ve read it, so I don’t remember a lot of the details, but I did quite like it overall. There were some parts that I thought were a bit overdone, I think it’s always a fine line with horror and people have different thresholds as well, but overall I enjoyed the weird creepy things that kept piling up by the end.

I read a lot of horror! Here are some of my recent faves:

  • Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay
  • I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones
  • Night of the Mannequins by Stephen Graham Jones
  • The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling
  • Ghost Eaters by Clay McLeod Chapman

Also navigating the UI with a controller is really rough (I tried playing this on my switch… did not go well). But the concept was cute so I hope they fix up some of the issues!

Ahh yes, my poor Whitestar Calathea that gets a spider mite infestation every few months is definitely proof of this. Always the same one. Never anything else around it.

You can always freeze/can them for later use!

I believe he said it took place in the same universe at some point? So there will probably be overlap between them.

Man this is a ton of new stuff! Just when I think I’ve played enough Stardew there’s another update and I start all over again.

Somehow they managed to make the game look even stranger than the first one, which I didn’t think was possible. I remember trying to watch a playthrough of the first game and it was a bit too out there for my tastes already.
