ChristopherOdd, Mapocolops and Gab Smolders are my 3 main goto channels for playthroughs! I like the way they play, they don’t talk too much and enjoy the story and adventure more than things like achievements etc. If I like a game I watch all three play it a lot of times.
This looks amazing! Definitely a commitment to get this finished, especially with 1mm hook. But it’s beautiful so far. Are you following a specific pattern
I love my Calatheas but they are the biggest spider mite magnets ever. I’d have them in the middle of a bunch other plants, all fine except the Calathea which would have mites yet again…. So annoying.
I am on book 5 of Cradle series by Will Wight. They’ve been super fun and fast paced, like little popcorn books.
The writing is serviceable, the characters are not super deep, but the world and exploration and discovery have been great. I didn’t think I would like the series but I’ve been pleasantly surprised and I think it’s definitely a good read between more difficult books because it’s a breeze getting through them.
I think these were mostly replaced by art books due to the info from guide books now being on the internet. I collect a lot of art books from games I like, though not every game puts one out.
That looks like scale to me. Using isopropyl alcohol and then wiping them off should usually take care of them. You just have to thoroughly search as they can also be hiding in the roots.
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.
Definitely already looking better! Plants are super resilient!
I also recently got a half dead orchid at a plant swap that I am nursing back to health. It has one leaf left and one baby one coming in. Had to cut off so many bad roots but it looks like it’s bouncing back.
Beautiful collection! I love calatheas and have a bunch as well. The semi hydro setup is also smart since they do love their moisture.
The unfortunate part about having them though is that spider mites loooove them too and it’s a battle getting them under control sometimes.
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.
Beautiful! Mine is growing super slow after a mealybug outbreak and some overly enthusiastic pruning… too many nooks to treat. But eventually I’ll have a bunch of rooted props.
I made a lot of pots for my plants, and this is one of the few that I kept hole-free. I love the color combination on it!
The smell of the roasted garlic was sooo good.
I started Oathbringer the other day, the third Stormlight Archive book. The first two were okay but I had issues with the bloated word count to actual story ratio, so I don’t expect to finish the series. The ends always seem to get me to start the next one even though I start regretting it half way through. I like the world and story but man they should not be that long and seriously need an aggressive edit pass.
