A quick reminder that there's no stream today, as we're still on holiday. Have a beautiful Sunday and I'll see you all next week! 💜

The Holo Taco Coastal Crèmes Collection absolutely screams summer, even though I am disappointed I can't do a full rainbow on 10 fingers... 💜

File Asto in Reichenberger Straße is very close to my ideal of greek food. Extremely laid back, just a big variety of starters and salads, and two main dishes which are a selection of meat or sea food. Good drinks and service, but quite busy at the moment. I loved the vibe and really felt at home.

Immaculate Friday vibes with Lilith and Selina... there's a huge cat bed just off to the side, but who needs that, when you can just snuggle up to the keyboard?

Oof... I just came across the Holo Taco summer Coastal Crèmes bundles, and I just had to splurge. I mean: Summer Scandal, Pier Pressure and Dockside Drama? Love them!

Today was a good day for some new headshots, which I have been wanting to take for months now. Took me around three hours with lights setup and editing. Extremely happy with the outcome.

The Photo Mode in Cairn really makes me want to spend more time with this game. I will probably set the difficulty to easy, because even though I don't have the spoons for this kind of game, it's too beautiful to put down.

Rolled credits on Monster Hunter Stories 3. I just love the feel of the franchise in general and Stories in particular, and Stories 3 is definitely the best one of the series. What an epic and heartfelt adventure! #videogames #mhstories3 #monsterhunter

Over the course of the last few months I've taken more and more steps to rethink and challenge my relationship with digital services and processes, unsubscribing from some services, migrating to some others. A small summary of my journey so far: dedalusroot.net/2026/04/13/u...

We played two rounds of the Arcs boardgame after a very long time yesterday, and while I very much enjoy the base game (even though my partner wiped the galaxy with me), the campaign mode expansion adds an amount of complexity, that is absolutely baffling.

First book of 2026 was Automatic Noodle by @annaleen.bsky.social which someone on Bluesky had suggested over the holidays. What an absolutely beautiful story about robots, community and spicy noodles! Love a story about how food can foster community, especially one so effortlessly queer. 💜
