Here follows a rant 1/n

Speaking of programming, I finished all 20 puzzles in i18n-puzzles.com -- a collection of puzzles focused around localization. Learned a bunch of neat tricks -- some of which I hope not to have to deal with (like puzzle 19). Thanks to @mpvaniersel.bsky.social for putting them all together!

I just released a new video game, BladeBlade 2! It was made for the KrampusHack 2024 gamejam, and has since received a few updates. All the art/music/code were made by myself using a custom engine powered by Allegro5. siegelord.itch.io/bladeblade2
