I have added some prints to my ko-fi page. It took a long time but I've found a good UK based print service to supply UK/Europe folks with bird portraits. Hahnemüle eco paper, 10+ colour giclee prints, if it wasn't my own artwork I'd say they look pretty good!

Glazing in watercolour is time-consuming. Though that's perhaps a redundant explanation, given that everything is time-consuming when I attempt it. 😮‍💨🙁😑

They don't have the incredible flavour of peak summer toms but they are juicy and good for cooking. It's been raining a lot here, so far only the cherry tomatoes have been splitting (and so quickly that I've had to abandon whole trusses). Ripening has definitely slowed but it's still happening!

ah if only it was skill & knowledge and not blind luck (maybe a lil bit of climate change too)

I love this, kind of looks like the poster for a lost Pasolini film set on the moon

ahhh same!! I live near the coast & endless miles of tidal flats and even though it's familiar to me I love how inhospitable (to humans) it feels

thank you!

Hard to say why exactly but some residents believe the "far left" green party have been out on the beach planting grasses in order to drive down property values on the beach front

I am enjoying co-op abiotic factor so much. Never has a game made me feel so relentlessly dumb. 60+ hours in and you're telling me I can plant potatoes? What do you mean I have to plug the fridge in before it makes things cold??

alice @aliceduke.bsky.social · 12d

yes... Yes..!!

alice @aliceduke.bsky.social · 13d

I will definitely be doing this - I do have a mental block that always makes me want to experience a game as designed but maybe it's too punishing in this case

Grabbed Viewfinder on ps+, what a cute system for visual puzzles! But there's always some NPC in my ear telling me what a good job I'm doing and positive reinforcement gives me psychic damage. Unplayable

I've added the ones I like the most, but if you have a specific request in mind that isn't there I could potentially make it available

I was walking in the woods today, not even doing anything weird, when a ranger I've never spoken to before waved me over to give me the location of some fly agarics he found last week. I'm giving off mushroom freak vibes without even trying.
