I had the pleasure of listening to Samin Nosrat and Hrishikesh Hirway speak over the weekend. What a delightful evening!

I commissioned @toondoodles.bsky.social to draw a chibi version of my FFXIV WoL, Dana Abernathy. I love it! And, of course, I had to get the Lesser Panda in there, my constant minion companion. :3

Bought some strawberries at the farmers’ market this morning, some of which I turned into David Lebovitz’s strawberry sour cream ice cream, which is so yummy and full of strawberry flavor. Also made a fresh loaf of King Arthur Baking’s sandwich bread for the week.

Finished a sweater! This is Saga’s Sweater from Alan Wake II. Remedy, the developer, published a knitting guide for it in 2023, so I decided to make it. It’s been rainy here so it took 2 days to dry. 😂

Games I finished in 2024, a running list:
17. Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery
More "Hidden Through Time!" No change to gameplay, but still fun if you enjoy hidden object stuff.

Did some gaming this year. o.ov Kind of wish the idle games could be excluded from the recap (2 of the games in my list are idle games).

16. A Shelter Full of Cats
The "...Full of Cats" series is always fun and this one is no exception. Many of the games are free, but not this one, which is great because it has so many cats to find! This one also has a bit of a story...

15. A Little to the Left
I'd actually played the demo a couple years ago and was extremely frustrated by it. I tried it again, though, and completed it today. I had a much better time with it and felt quite satisfied at the end.

14. Astroneer - Glitchwalkers DLC
I can't really say too much about Glitchwalkers without spoiling it, but what a delight! Reminds me of early-Astroneer when I had no idea what to do. I really enjoyed it, even if the core will always be my nemesis.

13. The Planet Crafter
This was a fun crafting/survival game. I'd played it a lot when it was in Early Access, but started over when it finally released into 1.0. I went for "Relaxed" mode, where I don't lose my stuff when I die. Body runs aren't fun.

I was gifted this game close to when it released in 2019 but never got around to finishing it until now. Do you like organizing things and regretting how you organized things as you get more things? Then this is the game for you!

11. Minami Lane
A short, cute game about making a little neighborhood cute and pretty. It's a management game in that you need to figure out what your residents like. Pretty fun and apparently made in 6 months by a duo. Neat!

What an utterly delightful game! 😍 Astro Bot is a celebration of gaming and I had a lot of fun playing through it. I'll try to Platinum it, but some of the levels are Very Challenging and my hands and the DualSense®️ controller don't get along.

I actually finished this before #7, but I didn't think about is as "done" since it's an ongoing MMO. But I finished the Main Scenario Quest and rolled credits, so I'm counting it. I still have the optional content, though.
