Riddle me this: what do they expect when they invested over trillion $ in the AI?
To get a return, a million people will have to spend million $ each. How is this reasonable?

Newsletter time! Today I'm talking about "karl2d", which I hope might become something similar to raylib, but written in Odin: news.zylinski.se/p/a-raylib-a...
A raylib alternative written in Odin
Also: Trying Jai and a better odin-c-binding generator.

Threw a bunch together for the brother's wedding. It's sitting in the corner of the living room for the tea ceremony. Not my style at all but a girl's gotta do what she has to for her traditional, conservative family.
I guess that's just how art is...

Ported the dialogue editor from CAT & ONION into this new project I'm toying around with (graphics by @mandelbaumski.bsky.social!)
Since both projects use Raylib and the editor code is simple, I could copy-paste most of the code. Just needed to disable some very CAT & ONION-specific things in it.

Been trying to draw digitally when I can't even draw on paper properly. It's been fun and vexing. Here's a sneak peak of me trying out Clip Studio to create some mushrooms 🍄. I guess I'm finally art-ing.
Never thought I'd be able to make digital art. 🥹

I've always wanted to map cats I meet. Freya's map is a dream!!
my search progress/map of friends in the area so far!
it's interesting how they seem to cluster together, and how some of the areas I search a lot are consistently empty

Latest thought: as someone who suffers from anxiety and depression and is trying to pull herself out of a pit of being sad, i've no idea why I haven't tried avoiding alcohol since it's known to be a depressant. So! No alcohol time, let's go.

Almost a year since I left my job, burnt out, depressed, struggling to function. I often wonder what I've to show for the year, forgetting that I've been feeling better, learning more about myself, learning Swedish, and joining the gym.
