Feeling very happy about not getting this job back before they started pushing AI (this also isn't the first time I've seen an ad like this from them in the past year or so).
Screenshot from a gamedev job posting: "...taking care of all UI tasks. You will also collaborate with our technical artist and help the team to implement new technologies and AI-workflows to boost productivity."

In case the option doesn't show up for you (in the Windows Update setting screen), there are several ways to nudge Windows to do it (reddit 👍), OR it just hasn't rolled out to you yet.
It took me a few steps to get this to show up:

Something tells me it's cold. And that I should get up.

Underestimated how cold it was outside, got frozen on my walk; she's helping warm me up now. (She hasn't slept on top of me in probably a year 😭❤️)

My first professional MC event 🥹 Daejeon Yeonjeong Korean Traditional Music Orchestra performance at ZKM tonight ❤️
I don't have any of my own photos of the performances, but do see them if you get the chance! They were incredible!
Woman (op) dressed in a white shirt, black pants and shoes, holding a piece of paper, and smiling at the camera. The photo was taken in the foyer of a theater, and some people are seen walking around. Photo of the op and a colleague on a theater stage, announcing performances. The photo was taken several rows up, so there are also illuminated backs of heads of the audience in front.

Also went to a nearby ancient roman town, and finally tried archery. That's a bucket list item for me, made better by the fact I hit the target all 3 times???? Incredible.
Pls ignore my form, it was literally my first time.
Part of the small exhibition on ancient roman skincare and perfumes at the Andautonia museum, featuring dried plants and flowers, and photos and descriptions on how they used them. Part of the ruins found in Andautonia, ancient roman town near Zagreb. Part of a street, building foundations and walls are visible and in places up to waist height. Woman dressed in black (me) aiming a bow and arrow at a round straw target in the back. The guide is standing behind her and explaining the technique. Close-up of the target with 3 arrows sticking out of it.

The first photo is straight from a fairy tale. The last one is a young deer peeing while making eye contact with everyone around.
A young male deer curled up and trying to sleep in a patch of grass on the side of the hill. A young doe looking for spilled feed on the road. A doe strolling by on a grassy hill, uninterested in the photographer as they didn't have snacks for her. A very young male deer confidently standing on the top of the hill, peeing while maintaining strong eye contact.

Fed some deer last weekend 😊
A woman feeding a doe from her hand. Two does standing sideways to the photographer on a hill, under the shade of a tree. A few others are over to the side a few meters away, uninterested. Photograph of Jelenji Greben in Slovenia featuring lovely green rolling hills with deers and people scattered around the meadow. Photograph of the convent in the little town next to Jelenji Greben, taken from the hill above and framed by green trees and meadows.

What's more baffling to me is that this should be the expected outcome, not a surprising one?

In slightly better news, I caught a shiny Joshua ✨️ ☺️

I'm gonna sort my pretty expensive cardboard, then cook and eat a vegetable. That should help.

Post a random picture or everything else will go bad in September
Zoomed in and cropped photograph of a fluffy white cat sitting in a patch of grass and dirt, looking towards the photographer (me, the OP) with a mouth-open surprised expression. 😮

It would mean a lot to me if you'd share my work ❤️✨
Demon Hunter - illustration The image is a book cover for an upcoming fantasy novella by Daina Rustin. It depicts two main characters facing off a monster in a forest. The main characters - Gray and Adrien - are turned away from us, and facing the monster hidden in the bushes. Gray is a slightly darker skinned mage, with long straight black hair, wearing a light green tunic and brown pants. She's placed in the foreground to the right. She wears a wide belt around her waist, and has one shoulder bag and one smaller bag visible hanging around her waist. She is preparing a fireball in her left hand. Adrien is a knight, and he's placed towards the left of the image. He's pointing his sword at the monster. He's wearing the Ravensguard blue tunic over a chainmail shirt, and brown pants. The monster is in the middle background, it's tall, standing on back legs, black with reddish highlights, red eyes, big beak, and two very long claws in front. Aurelia - character illustration The image shows a stylized character illustration of the main character of Sky Across - Aurelia - on a white background. The character is a female, standing while leaning on a tall regal staff, while dressed in a "ceremonial" outfit for her setting. She’s wearing a stiff pale cream dress with blue decorative linings around the edges, and a v-neck cut, a gold feathery shawl draped over her shoulders, and she has thigh-high blue and orange leather boots with a small heel. She’s wearing gold jewelry, her earrings feature the same blue gemstone as her staff, while the leaf motif repeats between the bits of staff and her necklace pendant. She’s wearing a gold feathery tiara that matches her scarf. Her hair is long and dark red/purple, with a braid coiled around her head behind the tiara. S.Coups - The Leader A digital study of S. Coups, k-pop idol and leader from the group Seventeen. Grayscale study of a photoshoot photo, trying to mimic traditional media of pencil and charcoal. The Witcher, TV show fanart, portrait of Geralt The image depicts a realistic grayscale side profile painting of Henry Cavill in his role of Geralf of Rivia, from season one of the TV show "The Witcher". The portrait is set against an out-of-focus, almost abstract landscape. The brushwork on his skin is more detailed and soft, and more loose with the hair.

Four of Wands - Radiant Fates - Stained Glass Tarot project The illustration depicts the Four of Wands tarot card. The card carries the meanings of family, celebration, home, belonging, etc. The themes of the card are depicted by 4 women sitting on a swing bench together, each holding their own wand pointing upwards. The swing has 4 branches going upwards, arching and connecting in the center, creating a frame around the women and a rosette-style window depicting a castle. The background is a glassy texture with a soft gradient incorporating blues, purples, yellows, oranges and pinks, with a yellow graphical element extending from the castle frame, and stars. The foreground is covered in more flowers in pinks and blues. The image is stylized, with heavy black linework, referencing a stained glass look in theme with the project. Aurelia - character illustration The image shows a stylized character illustration of the main character of Sky Across - Aurelia - on a white background. The character is a female, standing while leaning on a tall regal staff, while dressed in a "ceremonial" outfit for her setting.

OH! I also got my first blue rose in ACNH, big achievement UwU *puts gold star on forehead*
The photograph shows a Nintendo Switch with the game Animal Crossing: New Horizons on. A pink-haired pink-eyed character with glasses, the Princess Peach crown, and a purple #7 top, stands behind a grid of red roses (in order: 3, 1-1, 3), holding a shovel and facing towards the player. There's a blue rose bud in the middle spot of the grid, surrounded by red roses.

Well I was supposed to get back to work today, but my cat had a butt accident and now my energy is gone UwU

The criminal in question:
A closeup of a typical european house cat's face, standing on the photographer's chest, glaring into the camera from several inches away. Her snout fur is white, her nose is pink with orange-y brown spots, and her eyes are a greenish blue color. She's staring into your soul and asking why you're not getting up to feed her.
