Hope you're doing OK! I just wanted to drop in here and say that Mechanon is probably one of the best things that could happen to me during my Friday drive home after work 📖🤖🙏

You've inspired me to dust these off and have a play through. So enjoyable! I wish Blanche had made an illustration of a fully kitted out magic user (e.g. wearing a green wig, cloth skullcap, black facemask, gold medallion, all sorts of spell artefacts dangling from belts, buckles and bandoliers).

I was so surprised to beat Strider as a kid, and not at all surprised to barely be able to get past the first level in middle age.

I'm not sure of the species here, but it's the first time I've seen guttation, and it's a stack that worked, which is always something to celebrate. Nine Ladies Stone Circle, Oct 2024 #macro #biodiversity #derbyshire #peakdistrict #stantonmoor #fungus #guttation #focusstacking

My favourite Fuscidea cyathoides stone, Cnoc Fola, Donegal. I've photographed this stone for three years in a row. I keep meaning to put together a stop motion animation of the lichens! #donegal #macro #biodiversity #eire #lichen #crustoselichen #cnocfola #fuscideacyathoides #Fuscidea

More crustose mosaic lichens growing on the top of Cnoc Fola (Bloody Foreland). Likely to be Fuscidea cyathoides (many thanks to Di Napier fo the ID!) #donegal #macro #eire #lichen #crustoselichen #mosaiclichen #cnocfola #bloodyforeland #gweedore #fuscideacyathoides #Fuscidea

Some lovely crustose lichens, growing on the top of Cnoc Fola (Bloody Foreland), an exposed hill on the North Western tip of the most north Western County of Eire, blasted by the wild Atlantic winds. #donegal #macro #eire #republicofireland #lichen #crustoselichen #cnocfola #bloodyforeland

Kinoulton, February 2023. I think it's Xanthoria parietina, but always happy to be corrected 🙏 One of my first ever focus stacks that worked 🥞 #kinoulton #macro #lichen #focusstacking #xanthoria #xanthoriaparietina #biodiversity

Here's a couple of focus-stacked vs unstacked crustose lichens on the beach at Curransport, Donegal. Not sure of ID, I would be happy find out if anyone knows 😊 #donegal #eire #curransport #lichen #macro #focusstacking

The old TV is still on the beach at Curransport, a year later. I suspect it has been there many years... #donegal #macro #eire #oldtv #beachlitter #wasteelectrical

You've probably heard enough of people telling you how great Heart of Ice is. Here's a smaller anecdote - I played it on holiday in a little cottage on the North West tip of Eire, on a rainy windy summer's day, with my 9 year old son. We ended up being turned into a god, which was pretty out-there!

Icy weather, runaway AI, crazy cults, a world on the brink of chaos... There's never been a better time to play Heart of Ice. Here's a free online version for ya. #gamebook woodendice.org/flamekebab/h...

Heart of Ice - Adapted for Twine

Humanity barely clings on as the Earth freezes over. The Heart of Volent can reshape reality. Someone must find it and claim it before it's too late.

Your photos are lovely! I take macro photos of flowers, and I volunteer for my local wildlife trust in the UK. I take photos at their nature reserves and they use them in their magazine, online, and in fundraising drives. This doesn't help to make me money, but it's nice to get photos out there 🌸🖼

That's interesting. I've just started running an RPG with my kids (my first time as GM, loosely based on FF08 Scorpion Swamp and branching out from there), and this has given more confidence to carry on freestyling the adventure on the fly!
