You could try and make a DIY swamp cooler? There's lots of instructions online for how to make them, and basically the only consumable is water. The only caveat is that they work by drawing hot air in from an open window to evaporate water, so it's not very effective in high humidity or low temperatures.

Reminds me of something from Zoids

I've recently been playing a lot of We Who Are About To Die, and even though it's an early access game, its been great fun. It's a roguelite physics-based arena fighter where you play as an aspiring gladiator, and fight your way up the ranks. The multiple types of matches and mutators really keep the gameplay feeling fresh, and the mechanics are surprisingly deep.

The other game that I've been playing a lot is Dinkum, which is somewhat like a mix of Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, with heavy Australian Outback overtones. It's a nice game to play with friends and significant others, since there's plenty to do with a good mix of action and cosy gameplay.

100% agree about the fragrance, one of my faves!

I've always loved a Frangipani (especially the white ones)

I have a soft spot for flowering trees, and these always remind me of fun times by the coast (plus some part of me thinks they look like a delicious forbidden food).

I think it's Gen 6 (PS2/Xbox). But at the time the Gen 6 consoles were new, the Gen 3 that you consider retro was about 20 years old, just like these consoles are now. I think they still fit the label of retro pretty well, but it's always hard to consider something newer than your childhood as "old" tbh

I just built this set the other day! It looks really nice, and there are some really cool pieces being used (like the minifig whips used as the center petals). It is a little repetitive because you're building multiples of each rose type, but they at least have a few variations so it's not just the same thing the entire build.

Honestly that's a good guess, you're less than 5 years off haha

(If you're wondering why mine looks weird it's from YT Music instead of Spotify)

I always find with these recaps that I don't remember listening to one specific song more than others, and I'm constantly surprised by what the top 5 are. That being said, I usually just listen to the personalized mixes, so maybe part of it is the algorithm deciding that I really like a song because I haven't skipped it 🤷

The car and road are from the cover of a Nickleback album: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the_Right_Reasons

Honestly, I had to look up what that term meant. I can see why it would look like that, but I just thought it would provide context to who he is. He's got 1.4 million followers on Twitch and I think a few million subs on YouTube as well, so I figured it was reasonable to say he's pretty popular

Fun fact, Popular streamer Jerma985 voices the character that runs you through the tutorial in this game.
