Ok, how cool is this lamp by design studio Nader Gammas? It totally looks like little glowing mushrooms on a tree branch – though I think it is more inspired by old candle holders. As a fan of all things Mario, I'm immediately sold.
So playful. You can get them here.
I keep coming back to Hania Rani's live album "Nostalgia" – there is just something about how her voice, the piano, strings and synths all weave together that really speaks to me. Hearing the audience's reactions adds even more presence. The opening track ("24.04") creates this beautiful momentum, and later tracks "Dancing with Ghosts" and "Don't Break My Heart" are just all time classics.
Really hoping to catch her live here in Berlin sometime soon.
Should we really go in there?
Look at my beautiful little babies 🍙😭
I still haven’t seen Angel’s Egg, the 1985 movie by Yoshitaka Amano (who I mostly know from his Final Fantasy work) and Mamoru Oshii – but with the 4K re-release around the corner, I’m holding out a little longer. In the meantime, I just keep watching this clip on repeat...
Beautiful, haunting stuff.
We live in the golden age of enthusiast media! For proof, just look at this beautiful book from publisher Tune & Fairweather on the mythology of Elden Ring!
I am replaying this game at the moment, mainly to finally get to the DLC, and this just keeps on confirming that this is one of the finest games ever made. And if you dipped just a toe into the deep water that are VaatiVidya lore videos, you know how fascinating the mythology of that game can be.
So, yeah, I’m pre-ordering.

This is a meta post about the newsletter – sorry!
So far, I’ve shared a few photos on the blog (still very much a hack-ish work in progress), but I haven’t sent them out via the email newsletter. I’m wondering if I should change that.
It feels like a good step toward getting all my social stuff in one place, but I can imagine it might get a little annoying for some (even though it probably wouldn’t happen more than two or three times a week).
What do you think? Hit reply and let me know!
