It's Friday, friends. Can I be tiny happy at you for a minute? This #SciArt zine I (finally) made will be in my store soon. Test print is shiny & full of nerdiness, & I love it. Journal of Video Game Botany no.1 is on fungi that appear in AC Valhalla, & 2 will be the flora of Horizon Zero Dawn ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ’–

Generally I'm very bad at being happy when I make A Thing, but video game botany is my favourite weird hobby. So I'm happy I finally got my ๐Ÿ’ฉ together and made a zine about it ๐Ÿ˜

I love Assassinโ€™s Creed and spent more time on Valhalla than any other. Excited that you made this.

I'm excited too, tbh! Valhalla and Odyssey are games I might never stop playing/loving.

This is a glorious thing!! Thank you for sharing it. Video game botany is a fabulous idea!

Than you ๐Ÿ˜ it's my favourite hobby because I'm a giant nerd ๐Ÿ˜‚

You're welcome. You certainly don't need to justify nature based hobbies to me. I'd do all nature all the time, in various forms, if I could!

this is exactly my jam, thank you so much for posting this

You're too kind! Honestly, I wish I was a bit quicker at making this stuff. But life is so life-y, y'know? ๐Ÿ˜‚

preaching to the choir here, i wish i was quicker too. But you *finished a thing* (you finish lots of things) and that is so much more than however long it took you to do them. I have trouble finishing but even more trouble starting, these days
Avatar
Hehehe I did, didn't I? ๐Ÿ˜Š But the troubles - relatable. I'm just gonna say I have trouble trouble. Thats it, just trouble. With all the things. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

This is so completely my sort of thing that it kinda feels like a trap ๐Ÿ˜†

It's not a trap. I mean, except that botany is in itself a trap that sucks you in and makes you stop to look at aaalllllll the plants ๐Ÿ˜‚

I wanted to do this for GTAV botany after I took my first leisurely police-avoiding drive into the hills!
Avatar
I mean you might as well look at plants while you're there, eh ๐Ÿ˜
Avatar
Precisely. Someone went to all that effort to plant them. I should stop to take pictures before I pull out the minigun

Cool as hell!

Why didn't you start with Morrowind?

You should. Itโ€™s a very good game and thereโ€™s a lot of mushrooms.
Avatar
Do you have other games covered? Because I would love to read this for fun at some point but don't exactly play AC much ^ ^;;
Avatar
At the moment I'm finishing up one on Horizon Zero Dawn. But honestly, I haven't found a game I can't botanise yet, so who knows what I'll do next! I'm not super-fast at drawing the illustrations tho ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
Avatar
I love this! Any future plans for a Dragon Age issue?
Avatar
Yes, if I get round to playing it... On my list along with sooo many games, but life is life-y & also I'm very slow (probably bc stopping to look at all the plants ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ)
Avatar
I would never want to add any pressure, I know well how long the to-play list gets! But I will say, there's a delightful array of flora to be indulged in in the DA universe
Avatar
Ahhh that sounds good, I should bump it up the list! Trying to work my way through horizon right now
Avatar
Now I'm imaging future issues covering the fungi of The Elder Scrolls and Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom. But seriously, this is such a cool thing.
Avatar
Mate, so many games with good plants, fungi, etc. I'll be doing this forever (esp given how slow I am ๐Ÿคฃ)

My elderKid, on seeing this post: "tell them to play Rainworld." *chuckle" They add, "but I've never played it..." :) this is wonderful! Off to look for/at your store :)

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜ It's not up yet, this is the test print. But don't worry, I'll yell about it here when it goes in my store!

I am ready for it!
