The latest geeky decor in our collection, inspired by Outer Wilds. Spoilers, probably. Sorry.

So there are campfires in the game where you can pull out your trusty marshmallow-roasting stick and toast a few. The UI doesn't tell you this overtly, but they actually have the mechanical benefit of recovering hit points if they're toasted nicely. Most people just toast them because it's a cute little detail.

The game also has a supernova that happens at a certain point. If you happen to be at a campfire with your marshmallows out when the supernova hits, the supernova will actually toast your marshmallow (it'll go straight to "on fire," but that still counts as toasting it).

So I thought it'd be fun to do one of those "in case of ___ break glass" projects, specifically for this game.

Non-tutorial-style description:

The frame is a 6"x8" shadow box so as to sit comfortably on our bookshelves (we tuck decor among the sci-fi and fantasy novels). Unfortunately I didn't find one I could easily disassemble, so the inner frame (that holds the front clear panel in place) was securely glued. Since the frame was black with a white interior, this meant having to use painter's tape to try to protect the acrylic panel while I sprayed the outside red, and then being careful with sandpaper and a brush as I painted the inside black. You can still see white around the edges. Lessons learned: look for one that can be completely disassembled so I don't scratch/scuff the acrylic or get paint/tape on it by accident.

I don't have a handy vinyl cutter for the letters, so rather than track down someone who had one to cut the letters for me, I opted to have them printed on a backdrop instead. I added a high-res copy of the Outer Wilds Ventures patch from the game, and a starfield taken from the promo art. I'm actually happy with this look.

The marshmallow stick is made from three things. The stick itself is from a decorative apple branch from Hobby Lobby's floral section. I pulled off the apples and clipped off the leaves and extra twigs until I had a good-looking gnarled stick about the right length. Then I hot-glued faux suede around it for a grip. The marshmallow was made from Crayola Model Magic air-dry clay, which is the perfect color and texture if you get the white kind (which is easy to find). I shaped it into a soft cylinder and then poked the stick through it, and let it dry for a couple of days.

Once everything was ready, I wiped down the inside of the acrylic pane with rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth to try to get as much dust out of there as possible (because it sticks to the acrylic like crazy). I put the marshmallow stick in next, then used bookbinding tape (because it's the only acid-free tape I currently have) to fix the printed background to the insert card that came with the shadow box and put that in, then put the back of the shadow box in place and closed everything up. Wiped down the front with alcohol and microfiber as well, and now it's sitting in our living room.

Maybe sometime in the future I'll do a tour post of our geeky decor in the living room.

Dahin sighed, and shrugged, as if committing himself to a course he wasn't sure he wanted to traverse. "I don't know if you remember, but we saw a map engraved on the wall of that court, the one where the Hierarchs lived." Kai shook his head, baffled. He had no idea what Dahin was talking about. "What court? When?" "It was when you killed the expositor and put the Cageling Demon Court intention in the water, and we swam to the wall of the room and were drowning," Dahin clarified hopefully. He was talking about a mortal lifetime ago, the day they had all escaped this place. "I remember there were walls," Kai said. (Witch King, p. 272)
