Eldritch Katamari-like In Full Bloom has me fattening up an all-devouring blob creature, and it’s eerily therapeutic

Entithy is a small, Play-Doh-like sphere created by Obleak Games, characterized by its cuteness and insatiable appetite. The game "In Full Bloom" combines Tamagotchi-style nurturing with Katamari-esque consumption, where players care for Entithy and guide its growth. The game features a darker thematic approach with a soundscape that evokes unease, and an art style inspired by Tim Burton. Players start with Entithy in a sandpit, feeding it various items like bugs and decayed food to help it grow. As players progress, Entithy evolves, developing teeth and the ability to consume more substantial food. The demo concludes before fully exploring Entithy’s potential, leaving players curious about its future growth. The demo is available on Steam, with a full release expected in 2026.

30 years later, the iconic ‘Bliss’ green hill from Windows XP is still thriving — lucky passerby captures the hill looking almost identical to the 1996 photograph in ‘super rare’ event

A Reddit user discovered a scene resembling the "Bliss" wallpaper from Windows XP, which features a serene rolling green hill chosen by Microsoft in 2001. The original hill, located in Sonoma County near Napa, has changed over the years, often covered by vineyards. The user captured the hill when it temporarily resembled its former state, with vibrant greenery, due to the removal of vineyards for pest control. The original photograph was taken by Charles O'Rear in 1996.

I’ve just found a new cutesy Balatro, but instead of a deck of cards you get to tend to a garden and harvest flowers

The author began playing the game Balatro late and transitioned to a new game, Chosen Garden, at the beginning of 2025. Chosen Garden is a roguelike deckbuilder set to launch in March 2025, where players nurture a magical garden and face unpredictable weather every three rounds. Players start with a 9x9 plot and must harvest within a 3x3 area, with each round requiring them to meet a point goal. Harvesting yields coins for acquiring new plants, tools, or animals. The gameplay is similar to Balatro, making it accessible for players familiar with it. The author experienced challenges during gameplay, including a sandstorm that affected their score, ultimately finishing with under 300 points.
