I would tell you to fight me, but I guess I need to add an GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 argument to my KDE Konflict Picker first....

Ah, this looks like it's a snap to use.
This particular 'elder god' is more of a mantle, you see. This entity does wield great powers, but is also beholden to a horrible and cursed collection of duties. During the summoning, they accidentally, somehow, kill this elder god; due to the nature of the summoning they must now assume his mantle and fulfill his obligations, with all that entails, lest the cosmos fall. A Satan Clause, if you will.
Terrible news.....for Megan Ellison. Can't wait to see what the inevitable independent studio they'll form puts out.
I imagine Autumnal Damage would be similar to winter arriving in Bone, but with falling leaves.
Howdy, gardeners! It's been a minute since I posted, but my PNW garden is just getting up to steam!
My first cukes came in, I'm growing 'Spacemaster 80' slicing cucumbers and 'Homemade Pickle' cucumbers, for obvious reasons.
I've just made my first batch of pickles using a Claussen knock off recipe from the forbidden site, so we'll see how that goes. It just went in the fridge for cooling, so I get to try it in just a couple days!
I've started researching canning, as I want to can peppers, tomatoes, beans, and maybe corn - should the Corn Experiment prove bountiful. Learning how to Not Get Botulism seems pretty important!
My tomatoes are doing well - I'm growing Roma, Gardener's Delight, and Oxheart.
I'm endlessly fascinated by how the Roma tomatoes look like they do on the label of the can :)
Those are in containers. The other two varieties are trellised and are going nuts!

All the peppers are finally flowering. I'm growing Serrano, Jalapeno, Poblano, Shishito, and Ground Cherries. They are all growing rather well except a couple of the Shishito's in the raised bed seem quite small.
In my Three Sisters Garden, corn is growing fairly well, it seems half of them are 'normal' size and the other half are still half height, so I may have packed it too tight. I'm growing Blue FM1 pole beans, which have just flowered and are doing well, as well as pumpkins, of which two have grown so far, still green.
In the Squash Garden, I've got crazy vines from my Kubota squash, with 4 or so gourds growing. I planted beans here but they never really took off.
I also built a 'Wildlife Garden' this year. It's open to the public (animal visitors) and I don't do any pest control here. It's also gone NUTS! I have Blue Hubbard squash growing a mile a minute with 8 gourds on the vine, scarlet runner beans reaching for the sky, some ridiculous sunflowers pushing their way up, chamomile, clover, feverfew, boy it's wild! It's fun to look at.
For salad greens we've had the 'Tower of Power' going for a few months - it was a strawberry planter that I stuck a bunch of transplanted lettuce/chard/kale/mustard plants into. It produced salad for us every couple days, pretty excellent! My wife asked me to start migrating it back to strawberries, so I've started that process. Due to that, I've replanted a bunch more greens to keep us going!
And speaking of those strawberries, I'm propagating a bunch of strawberry plants (june-bearing) to have more ground cover for next year in addition to the strawberry tower, and I'm hoping my ever-bearing strawberry will put out runners, but it's still fruiting consistently!
I got a small onion harvest (time to figure out how many onions I'd actually need in a year), and plenty of garlic. This was my first year growing onions, and half the garlic was from last years harvest!
I also have numerous other things going - my lemongrass is growing really well:
As is my celery in a pot:
I've been growing marigolds and nasturtiums all over the place. The nasturtiums are great in salad! My cabbage started doing pretty well once I defeated an Aphid Menace that was stunting them.
So, that's my big ole report! What’s growing on with you all?
(Apologies to LallyLuckFarm@beehaw.org if I stepped on your toes, I felt compelled to make a weekly thread!)
Tonight's story: Every man older than OldMan.getMinimumAge() has been in perfect *unchanging* health for the last few months‽ To find out why, stay tuned! Our experts chime in to help you understand....
This is literally an orphan crushing machine story. 38 dogs were heroically saved after...checks notes...they encountered disaster on a freaking FOX HUNT run by humans?!
Unfortunately so. They are an Eastern US species that has been moving ever westward. And they are, in bird law terms, 'huge dicks'. They've been systematically kicking Spotted Owls out of their traditional roosting spots for about a decade now. Spotted Owls are pushovers, so they've been losing breeding ground. And barred owls are not just dicks to other birds, they don't like humans much either.
Boy, that cat sure has egg on it's face.
Sorry, best we can do is make a new tier at the same price that only plays music, while we jack up the price of the new Premium Plan to account for 'rising market costs'!
Hey, my name is on that probe! Good luck with the solar plunge little dude!
