Artemis II just splashed down, safely.
This has, for me, been amazing. For my entire life, Apollo was something done by a generation (the lost generation, mostly) that we couldn't equal. But now my generation and the younger generation sent people to the moon.

Earth is about to set behind the moon from Artemis II's perspective.
There needs to be a medal for the person who realized you could put a camera at the end of the Orion solar panels, and wave the panels around to see the astronauts looking out the window.
Been working on it.
This morning, I added a progress bar to Ren'Py Sync, so you can gain confidence your upload or download is in progress.
People are going to try to return to the moon, less than ten minutes from now. I've been waiting my whole life for this. It's hard to explain how I'm feeling right now.
Safe flight Integrity!
And since I forgot to post it, here's the usual cropped postcard image.
It's the last day of the month, and that means the Patreon article is up. Apart from the status update, I talk about language models and how I think they should and shouldn't be used.

It's not much, but it's the first visual output from the port of renpy.pygame (and eventually, all of Ren'Py) to SDL3.
Doesn't that already exist as:
define screenswing = { "screens" : swing }
?
Had dehydration brain fog me for a bit, cause by an interaction between medicines. It's good to have gotten that taken care of and be back to developing on all cylinders.

asec.ahnlab.com/en/9... has more information.
I don't really think there's much to do about this - they could just as easily have distributed something claiming to be a game without the game. I hope everyone is aware that pirating software is a problem for security reasons.

I haven't verified it myself, but it looks like there is a report of malware being distributed inside pirated versions of games made using Ren'Py.
All downloadable games are only secure if you trust the creators and the sites you get them from.

Visited a nearby federal courthouse to see a museum there, and had the lovely experience of helping a family of new Americans take a group photo together.
