I'm tempted, like for real. But we should let it go @zoewi.bsky.social Let... it... go... ๐Ÿฅฒ

Google Sheets sub menu for "Insert Image"

Google Sheets sub menu for "Insert Image" - Generate an image - Insert image in cell - Insert image over cells

Google Sheets putting "Generate an image" on the top position of the "Insert Image" menu is such bullshit.

DO NOT WANT.

Hey @summerorigins.bsky.social ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป
With our collective we would like to include Step by Little Step in an exhibition we curate in November. We'd like to ask if that would be something you are okay with and if doing a French localization of it if we provide a pro translator for it, would be doable? ๐Ÿ‘€

Hey Liam! Thanks for that report. We had players on that branch since the release, but out of curiosity, did you try to install and launch it today? And for more investigation here, when did you receive the key?

06.06.2025 16:36 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'm so looking forward for the launch ot this one, and in the meantime you can try the demo on Steam! It has been incredibly nice to work on Becoming Saint with Pietro and the whole team of Open Lab on that gem.

Heeey, it's Mighty Magical Sunday!

So today let's show a little bit of our highly technological โœจPROTOTYPING PROCESSโœจ

It's Mighty Magical Sunday and this week weโ€™re gonna talk tech stuff! So... which engine? Construct 3! Done, see you next week! Wait, no, letโ€™s elaborate. The question came up back when we started working on Living the Dream, the game that would lay some of the technical foundation for MMS.
