Games Journalism is like fewer than 40 people now. Magazines are basically gone and websites are not far behind. None of this is a surprise, but it's incredibly sad. We had something awesome for a while there. Younger generations have no idea what they missed out on.

The Hunter / The Warlock / The Battle / The Aftermath
[ #art ]
A man hunting in the snow beside a bear familiar. A warlock nervously walking through the snow at night with his crow familiar. The bear and hunter dressed as a bear hide in the back. A battle between a hunter and warlock. The aftermath of a battle. The hunter is exhausted and the warlock injured. But the warlock looks back with pity

I wasn't sure what I was seeing when I took this photo from the balcony a few nights ago. Thanks to @andyknny.bsky.social and the Denverite reporting, I learned the pink glow is from grow lights for the turf at the Bronco's stadium.

Day 21 of posting cool mushrooms every day:

The Bleeding Tooth fungus (Hydnellum peckii) has both teeth on its underside and "blood" on its top!

The "blood" is extracellular fluid, which is squeezed out when the fungus absorbs water, increasing pressure until the red fluid is squeezed out!
Source: reddit, user: denise1025 A very alien white mushroom strands surrounded by green underbrush and mossy trees. The mushroom is white and almost like a triangle on a stem. On its underside, there are "teeth"-like projections. On its top, it is flat white, except there are beads of red droplets like blood.

Concept art of a little witch wearing a red hat and a yellow cape, riding on a black panther. They stand on a magical landscape covered in glowing mushrooms, overlooking vibrant pink distant mountains, a flowing river, and castles on the peaks under a cloudy sky.
