Now that's Winter, I'm thinking about NEWSLETTER. But I haven't written anything for one yet...
Right now, my energy is going towards preparing Chapter 5 for localization. The translation process begins next week. We have extracted all the English text and we are now annotating it.

Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out
A new Gmail update may allow Google to use your private messages and attachments for AI training. Here's how to turn it off.

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.
There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.
Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."
TURN IT OFF.

Making my first ever foray into #gamemakerstudio! I'm working on a primarily text-based project where you play as an AI Virus attempting to corrupt an enemy nation's computer networks.
I've given myself 36 (nonconsecutive) hours to work on this project, and have 29 hours left! #gamedev
