Adding some pretty foliage to Cookie Gardening. Are there lore implications to adding flowers to a world of sentient vegetables? Yes, of course

Left the sim alone for a while and was disappointed when I came back to find that only trees had survived. Then I realized I was wrong

Just found out Caltrain sells holiday sweaters with a little snowman driving the train. I’m going to be thinking about this all day

Did someone say…new Beyond These Stars demo?! 👀
We’ve been making some big changes to the game over the last year, but we’re not quite done yet.
Be sure to download our new demo & discover the changes for yourself! We can’t wait to bring Beyond These Stars to you in 2026

Oh, only just realised you can generate colour schemes with golden ratio rotation to automatically get good hue contrast.
```js
const mainHue = 0.0 * Math.PI * 2.0;
const steps = 8;
const hues = [];
for (let step = 0; step < steps; step++) {
hues.push(mainHue + Math.PI * 2.0 * 1.618);
}
```

}

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.
