Google Sheets putting "Generate an image" on the top position of the "Insert Image" menu is such bullshit.

Hey @summerorigins.bsky.social 👋🏻
With our collective we would like to include Step by Little Step in an exhibition we curate in November. We'd like to ask if that would be something you are okay with and if doing a French localization of it if we provide a pro translator for it, would be doable? 👀

I'm so looking forward for the launch ot this one, and in the meantime you can try the demo on Steam! It has been incredibly nice to work on Becoming Saint with Pietro and the whole team of Open Lab on that gem.
After more than two years of research and development, the public demo for Becoming Saint is now available on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2643010/...

It's Mighty Magical Sunday and this week we’re gonna talk tech stuff! So... which engine? Construct 3! Done, see you next week! Wait, no, let’s elaborate. The question came up back when we started working on Living the Dream, the game that would lay some of the technical foundation for MMS.

I'm almost at the end of my journey in Roadwarden. I was absolutely not expecting to be that much absorbed by that game, its story, its lore, its characters. I thought I'd spend a few hours into a nice & short narrativesque rpg and oh my, that's my new crush.
