# WhatsFine

> Food, play, tech and takes — part food magazine, part gaming/streaming channel, part maker blog, part opinion column, with a small shop attached. Tagline: "Only the Finest."

Four content pillars: Food (recipes and technique), Play (games and livestreams), Tech (3D printing and maker projects), Takes (opinion). Recipes in the shop are free but email-gated; 3D prints are made to order.

About the makers: WhatsFine is a collective of artists; current bylines include Jess Thackston and Brian Thackston.
