Yeah, I'm messing with the balance each time now to try and reduce bitterness without losing the flavor. The next time I tried with about 3/4th the amount of leaves. Doing 180F at 20 seconds to start with a gradual increase each steep seems like the right area so far!
It's bunny day, so it seemed fitting to take out my tea pet.
Tea is Jinggu "Wild Tree Purple Moonlight White" from Yunnan Sourcing. I've only had white tea a handful of times, really enjoyed it. A little bitter, and felt like a lot of different flavors I couldn't really identify. I just know I liked it! Made it to about 10 steeps before it started losing flavor, so even the smaller 25g sample I got should last me a good while.
I don't see it here so I'll mention Ty the Tasmanian Tiger! Really fun collectathon platformer. Played through the more recent remaster on PC and realized it's very easy, but I spent a huge amount of time as a kid just running around the maps and hub area.
Honestly I get lazy and skip the pre-heat and fairness cup, then it's even faster/easier than brewing in a pot!
Also tea people should check out [email protected]! The only tea community I'm aware of on lemmy. Though it's super inactive right now; I should probably contribute...
Yeah I drink tea, now what am I supposed to believe in?
Tristan Newcomb? I get all my gaming news from him. His Donkey Kong Country review is great.
Transcendental Youth - The Mountain Goats
Title track and closer of one of my all-time favorite albums. The horns are just perfect and the lyrics are beautiful. Makes me think of those little moments of getting lost in something good during bad times, a short escape you know won't last.
Yeah but you'd have to write it across like, 10 post-it notes along the top of your monitor. That'd get expensive!
Big mushy! Some kind of bolete? I really like the light and focus effect.
Idk someone could probably brute force it in only a few trillion years, I'd make it longer if you plan to be using Twitch long-term.
I really want to like Mirage more, but I just don't like her 3...or 4...or 2.
I know her 2 has some meme-y fun potential so I may have to give it another try. Her 3 and 4 are ruined by the light dependency for me though. If she could control the light level around her somehow, or toggle between the two buffs of her 3, she'd be in a way better place for me. Right now if I go back to her it would be after subsuming over her 3 most likely.
It's too bad because I really love her deluxe skin.
Looking up local stuff definitely seems best. Lots of good wildlife rehabs around me, that's usually my go-to.

She made her nest in our backyard, giving me the perfect chance to get a nice picture! The babies fell out a few times and we had to put them back in, but they all made it!
WindowKill - $4.99
The most clever bullet hell I've ever played, best experienced on mouse and keyboard.
Windosill - $2.99
More of an interactive art piece. Very short but I still think about it years later. (Some of their other stuff is available online for free and is similarly enjoyable)
Magic Wand - $3.99
Like a surreal, jumbled mess that seems to parody a badly translated JRPG. Another short and sweet experience.
HYPER DEMON - $14.99*
Like a nightmarish fever dream. If you like old school FPS mechanics like rocket jumping and bunnyhopping you'll feel right at home. This one is a little difficult to show people gameplay of because it looks impossible to decipher, but when you're actually playing it and really start to get entranced, it's an experience like nothing else. The way it gives you a 360 fov is an incredible mechanic.
*(It's also 40% off for ~40 hours as of this comment, making it $8.99)
Chicory: A Colorful Tale - $19.99
My favorite game of all time. Adorable puzzle game where you paint the world, with a story about what makes someone an artist. One thing I really like about this is the open ended way it lets you approach creative tasks; It's up to you to decide how much you want to invest, there's no scoring system to gamify the art portions, which is very in-line with the story to me.
Edit: Oh, and a great soundtrack by Lena Raine!
