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.

It’s looking good! I have a similar problem actually, and I’ve been noticing that my older leaves are also slowly deteriorating as well making the overall plant seem a bit less nice. I ended up chopping some of the vines back almost all the way to regrow some new branches near the bottom to replace the old leaves. You can probably do the same over time with all of them to keep them fresh.

What a beautiful majestic boy he became! Love the little baby meow.

This plant is just severely etiolated as it’s desperately searching for more light, not mutated! You will need to give it better lighting conditions if you want the new growth to be more compact.

Love the old school retro vibes! I’ve used OBS for screen capture before, but I’ve heard good things about Davinci as well.

Looks like a fig tree to me! Hard to say what type until it starts to fruit though, the leaves are very similar. You’re in for a treat though when the crop comes in!

Ah that’s cool! I look forward to seeing your updates then! Have you seen the other spin off games like Paralives and Life by You? It might be interesting to see what kinds of stuff they’re lifting from sims and where they are expanding/changing things.

Looking awesome! This makes me want to install Sims again honestly. Loved those games. Are you planning on going in that life sim genre?

Definitely seems like a gauge issue. It should essentially be a tube that stretches a bit to fit on your head for it to slouch like that, if it’s any wider it will mushroom like you said.

That’s the most aggressive wink I’ve ever seen!

That looks like a nice project! I definitely have many bags of yarn and fabric around for projects as well… one day I will get through them all.

The main trunk will stay the same height at this point, but it will get thicker as it matures. Your best bet is to encourage a few branches out and go for a wine glass shape off the main trunk. With some pruning you can make it look like a pretty nice dwarf tree!

If you cut the top off then it will only be able to grow branches at this point.

Those looks really great! I have a pair that has been starting at me for about a year now too still waiting to be finished… I’m hoping they will come out as well as yours one day.

I just went through a loss myself. My boy was 17 and I had him since he was a kitten and honestly it still hurts many months later. There is no easy fix. I still start crying at random times if I happen to see his favourite toy or a picture of him. You just need to let it run its course I think and slowly it gets better, just be there for your partner and offer support and hugs.

It’s on sale right now on switch (which is where I played the first as well) but not on steam.

I played through Far: Lone Sails and really enjoyed the light puzzle and management of the machine. It was super atmospheric and I really loved the game overall. It was a perfect casual game that really absorbed me into it. Going to play the sequel as well soon.

Looks amazing! And yeah making a lace scarf is definitely a commitment. I made one and gave it away as well because I too realized I don’t wear lace scarves either, plus it never gets cold enough where I currently live. But it still looks beautiful and you should definitely be proud!

I haven’t played Outer Wilds but from what I know of it it should be similar. The Forgotten City is based on real world history though which was pretty interesting and it’s much more compact than what I’ve heard of Outer Wilds. It look me maybe ~7h to finish it fully, but can definitely be done faster too.

What a beautiful overachiever! I wouldn’t even be mad if it didn’t produce any fruit.
