Books

• The Nature Of Code by David Shivman: started reading it after receiving my 2nd edition and I like it, even though it is a bit too basic for me. Also, I think the title should be "the Code of Nature".

Games

• Walkabout Minigolf
• Factorio
• Gourdlets: it's a city builder without goals. That might be nice for some people, but it's not for me.
• Snowtopia: a snow resort manager. Also quite relaxed. We'll see whether that's for me or not.
• Lego Builder's Journey: so cute!

Backlog

• Coral Island (Humble Choice)
• Infraspace (Humble Choice)

Recipes

• **Hamburgerbrötchen
• Schokoladenkuchen
• Zitronenkuchen mostly freehand, but turned out very good.

• Making the World’s Heaviest Tungsten Dice - YouTube: Again these two: I like their projects, but their “flavour” is so weird and offputting.
• Learning JavaScript with WAT - YouTube: I highly disagree with some parts of the video. Especially: sure, Javascript is neat because it can be run in the browser, but that doesn't make it a great language, that just makes it a necessary evil.
