IT'S SCOOBY DOO SEASON @kakkorelocated.bsky.social · 18h

The Scooberus

Scooby Doo, but with three heads. Each head has a different emotion: left-most one is cautiously cheerful, the middle is gobsmacked, and the right most one is skeptical.

It’s autumn and some great #mushrooms are appearing in the woodlands here. We’ve found several clusters of Sulphur Tuft (𝘏𝘺𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘦), which happens to fluoresce under UV light. Cue a nocturnal trip into the woods with a UV torch to see its amazing green glow. #mycology #fungi #mushroom

A cluster of orange mushrooms sprouting on the forest floor. The ground is covered in dried autumnal leaves.

A cluster of mushrooms at night under UV light. They are glowing with a greenish hue. The rest of the surroundings are dark, with a faint purple glow from the nearby UV light.

suggest playing, even. Also Devotion - it got taken down for censorship so I'm not sure if it's playable anymore (I think it's back up?) but it so hauntingly beautiful. Takes place during 1980's Taiwan and without giving too much away it's a critique on religious cults.

oh btw if you guys liked Silent Hill f may I suggest Detention. It's by the same studio that made Devotion. It takes place during White Terror in Taiwan and has some really great horror elements from Taiwanese mythology.
