if you've had a shitty week, here's the fantastic news you needed:

solar is SO efficient now that nothing else really comes close. Solar farms like this- under which other countries plant crops that thrive in the controlled bright shade- are the easy future.

this makes me sleep okay at night 😌

I honestly love the era of games when they didn't even try with names they were just like "Baseball"

3 A game that is underrated

IT'S TIME TO GET ON MY SOAPBOX AGAIN

Starfox Adventures. Yes, it should've stayed Dinosaur Planet and the story suffered as a result. It's still a genuinely good Zelda-like dungeon game imo with some really great art, music, and puzzle design.

a pixel art illustration of a woman in a red dress Alt: Edelgard von Hresvelg from Fire Emble Three Houses. She's wearing her red timeskip armor, with decorative gold buttons down the front and decorative epaulettes on the shoulders. She's also wearing her horned, golden, timeskip crown. There's a wind blowing from left to right, causing a waver in her long white strands of hair, in the red cape behind her, and in the small details of her armor such as the epaulettes.

2 Your Favorite Character

Edelgard von Hresvelg from FE Three Houses
Controversial, but I like how the game didn't shy away from that. She sees what's wrong in the world and steps up to change it, by any means necessary. I would need a full thread to describe how I see her flaws yet still love her.

a group of cartoon characters are standing in front of the player select screen Alt: Diddy Kong Racing player select screen. Starting on the top left going left to right: a crocodile named Krunch, a small monkey named Diddy, an overalls wearing rooster named Drumstick, a badger named Bumper, Banjo the bear from Banjo-Kazooie, Conker from Conker's Twelve Tails, Titup the turtle from Banjo-Kazooie, an anthropomorphic clock named TT, a tiny mouse named Pipsy, and a tiger in a blue hat named Timber.

1. Very first video game

Diddy Kong Racing! It was the OG racing adventure game (for me at least) which a pretty cool overworld and of course banger music. I came in last every time I played but still played it anyway.

Concept art for the character Esyglia. In the top left is the title "Esyglia, the Cheerful Moon" written in a handwriting font. On the left part of the page is a sketch of Esyglia, she has her left arm resting on a table and her chin is resting on her right hand. She is wearing a puffy cardigan and an amulet. She's smiling, with the words "hehe" written next to her face. She has a short bob haircut and two leaves in her hair near the back of her head. She also has a small hair antennae sticking out of her head. On the right is a color picture, she has yellow skin, slightly darker yellow clothing/hair, and orange eyes. The leaves on her head are green and her medallion is orange. In this picture, she's standing with her hands clasped in front of her. Instead of legs, Esyglia's bottom half is a large bulb, like a flower.

A screenshot from an options menu. "Accessibility" is currently selected, with options to change text size, text contrast, text speed, line spacing, textbox transparency, text to speech, text to speech volume, base battle speed and notification speed. The final option is slightly cut off, implying there are more options under it.
