The Black Hole would be a fun one to see animated, I think!

Hope the knee scuff heals quickly! (And I for one love how much more mobility my cane gets me)

I tend to run long washes on tightly rolled tea, for me the focus is getting it open and awake (even though I drink the wash to see if there's anything neat going on) good luck and I hope it goes well! 💙

(also little g googling later, apparently that tea you're working with is a bug-bitten one and not having had any in that style, maybe they're just like that because the plant has been annoyed and has extra bitter notes you've got to be very careful with? Fully Guessing There)

Oh huh! I usually do them in the range of 185 or 190f, and as for timing, what springs to mind is a Lishan oolong, where I do a 30s wash, then every 2 steeps I'll add 10 or 15 seconds depending on how it's reacting! (That is, 30 wash, 30, 30, 45, 45, and so on)

Could take a shot at other infusions, like Yerba mate? There's layers to work with there, after all!

Fair! I should definitely keep this idea in my back pocket for next time I take a shot at a darker oolong, I feel like they're much more sensitive than the green floral stuff I normally gravitate to

Oh that's gotta be SPEEDY at 210, how'd it come out? I've never taken a shot at hotter steeps for oolong

Objection! Lacking thumbs makes keyboards very difficult (as Library, one of my cats, can attest)

Oop, links to those three are here, mr-matthew.itch.io/archived here, blinkingbirchgames.itch.io/death-of-the... and here pancelor.itch.io/cryptkeeper

Sticking to a top three so I don't clutter your replies, and given how much I like 'em, I've gotta go for a Carta game! I'll suggest Cryptkeeper, by Pancelor, whose tone and compelling spin on the mechanics make it feel a bit like a dungeon crawling gems you'd find hiding in a list of 90s SNES RPG

Also very great is Death of the Author, by Blinking Birch games, which puts you in the shoes of both an Author and the Character being written, as the character struggles to get some agency over the story. Lots of room to play with the prompts, and interpret the tarot cards drawn freely!

Heartily suggest Archived, by Matthew Gravelyn, a game where you play as an object in library circulation! Lost and Found games make great streams generally, the built in downtime is nice to catch up on chat, and this one's a personal favorite.

Might be coming in a bit late here, but I do a fair amount of solo ttrpg on stream, so I've got a few recs!

Beyond Super has a fairly solid two player mode, and I loved the heck out of it playing solo! kaumlaut.itch.io/beyond-super...

Having done a smidge of column C work here and there? Software dev skills are certainly the only reason I wrangled it, great insight into the other side of the screen

Some gateway number, one that shipped with clips for the speakers on the side of the monitor! Wish I could remember more detail about the tower itself, but it was for sure a windows 98 machine.

I'm still fussing with potential rules, but for now, I've got an actual play series of solo ttrpg exploring what it's like to flesh out a world through many different games! It's called Tea Filled Tales of Camellia (and yes, I do make tea on camera) youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The blender would be agony, I'm sure, but PS1 altir would be a lotta fun to see
