So I've gotta ask - you've played a fair bit of Tales of the Shire by now... what do you think of the game?
I was super excited for it, but turned off by the bad reviews it got around launch. It is fun? What's the replay value like? Do you still laugh/enjoy it after 6+ hours?

Four #fungi from yesterday's walk.
The orange one was WILD. I'm not sure if it was dying or fruiting or what, but it appeared to be melting into orange slime. Super neat.

Tried to get a better shot, but the little dude wasn't having any of it and relocated every time the weird hooman came within ~50 feet or so.
