I’ve been wanting one of these plants forever. I love how they just let them grow

Should’ve been called Icarus

Why use Drake when I could instead make a twoset reference

I believe that NitroKeys are open-source. The New Oil did a video covering them.

If you don’t mind his particular style, the SsethTzeentach video is what convinced me to give it a fair shake. The in-game tutorial and tooltips are pretty good though, and will get you started. Overtime you’ll discover more and more systems. Oh and just so you know, the demo is the full game, but a version behind.

Have to throw CK3 out as my personal favorite grand strategy game (though EU4 and the like are other options). There’s nigh infinite content in weaving the story of your family and realm, and mods add a whole new layer to it.

Tossing Song of Syx onto the pile of games. Even if you don’t care for the art style, the game is immensely deep, and quite frankly, addictive.

Definitely was my first thought. I think that I’ve spent way more time on that game than I’d like to admit.

Maybe Storm In a Tea Cup by Helen Czerski for a book outside your comfort zone. It’s quite the interesting exploration of the principles of physics that underpin the world around us.

Ello, and thanks for the shoutout! Was there anything in particular you wanted to ask me about?

Thank you very much for these (very) thorough selections! And the associated links as well haha

Is there a particular aspect you’re really into right now?

Hmm, a surprisingly difficult question. I really do love all aspects of botany and plants, but I feel like I don’t know much about specific parts of a plant and classifications of parts (like reniform), soil science, and cultivation techniques like grafting.

In Defense of Plants

I actually listen to his podcast, but didn’t know that he had a book. Excited to read this and your other suggestions!

All hail

Glasses. The ability to see so much better than I otherwise could leaves me astonished every time I put them on.

It wasn’t that hard for me to flash a Chromebook with Linux using this guide

I’m currently looking at some thyme through propagation. No idea where I’m going to put it, but I’m excited either way!

I was just looking at Monarda didyma on Wikipedia and here it pops up on Lemmy. How you support your local ecosystem is inspiring

Yea I think the balance is fine lol. There was a period when I was shredding up a lot of browns, but I think I have readjusted enough

My pile is on the soil (I actually have two right now, but I’m referring to the main one). It just rained not too long ago so the pile is decently wet as of now, but I think it generally stays at a decent moisture level. I try to aim for the wrung out towel level recommended by the infographic on the main page.
