Day 9/365: • We got AI on the app lesgo, added a financial profile (their income, recurring expenses, etc.), also now we have stats, stats will help YOU understand YOUR expenses, and you can save money, it also auto-categorizers your expenses for you, what soon could be added is better structure of what you get to see in stats, currently is js spitting out what the Ai thinks about it, so it could be more graphs, a calander with your preferences how your daily budgeting could go or something • We had guests over so not much work done other than what I js said

Day 9/365 He died? And she died? And she died too? He came back? She came back? Strangling? Kawoshin :yesyes:. Blood, so much blood... Tasks I made progress on: • Be more cultured ◦ Finished Neon Genesis Evangelion and End of Evangelion • Signalbreak ◦ Started setting up the project, planning to use it for #C088DT8P7B8| Streaks • Journal ✅ • Reflection ✅ • Commits :red-x: • Medicines :red-x: Reflection Mood: 2/5 Productivity: 1/5 Didn't lock in in the slightest. Had to go to the hospital again. Neon Genesis was... uhhh... an experience. Did a comparable amount of reflection to yesterday, yesterday's was just a massive dump of thoughts so that makes sense. Here's a Suzanne for you. (old 3d rendering project of mine)

Day 9/365 Today I spent most of my day at the hospital, staying with my mom while she was there (she was REALLY dehydrated somethin like that idk. Shes fine now dont worry). By the time we got out of there it was 6 pm which I then picked up my friends who were staying the night so I legit didnt spend any time on my project today. But I did think a LOT about the ui for my aces project. I think i might try recreating the "lava lamp"-esque effect the game "Cult of the lamb" has!

Day 8/365 I was about to skip this day but then the alarm I set rang. Thank you, alarm. Tasks I made progress on: • Be more cultured ◦ Watched Neon Genesis Evangelion the entire day Streaks • Journal ✅ ehh • Reflection ✅ a lot. • Commits :red-x: • Medicines :red-x: Reflection Mood: 3/5 Productivity: 1/5 Didn't lock in in the slightest. Neon Genesis is fun thooo. Also I made a proper reflection for once, catalogued some of my shower thoughts + a few more of my own on my gender identity and stuff. I think I wrote about 600-700 words (I know what you see in those numbers. I'm watching you. :suspicious_acorn:) in the span of 20-30 minutes. I hope I can continue to remember to catalog them. The whole day wasn't a waste after all :3 Posting an image of the Calendar plugin including a wordcount indicator for each daily note. For context: The first dot in the calendar for each day just means that something was written. Since I have a template for daily notes, an 'empty' note would still have words denoting its structure (headings, dataview code, etc). tl;dr it's easy to get the first dot but takes a lot of writing to get subsequent dots. Something to that effect. I should go to bed.

Day 8/365 Today I made my aces game look a bit better! I added sprites for "other players" and threw in a shader I got from @/armand 's "space game" project they made for shiba (really good game, you should <https://nanomars.itch.io/space-game|check it out >btw). Anyways the shader has color pallete support, and since my game is themed around occult stuff, I made a color pallete using the rider waite tarot cards and threw that in. Though due to a lack of purple I manually added some shades. I think it turned out pretty cool!

Added a drive in sequence! It’s crappy but in the next few days I’m going to purchase Aseprite and make some game art. I’m thinking of adding a cinematic transition, where a couple trees flood your screen and then you get to some black background with a familiar object and a loading screen thing. I need it to look polished!!

Hey, chat! this is my first time posting, so ig i should put... day 1/∞... yeah that looks good. anyways, i use linux (specificly Ubuntu; i'd rather use arch, but i have less problems with Ubuntu especially how i'm runing on a surface laptop studio.... yep surface...), Zen Browser, Zed Preivew Editor, im supposed to be doing a bunch of homework right now, but i R E A L L Y dont like homework, mainly because thats the one reason i dont have time to actually have fun; even on weekends.... can't wait till summer! my bday is also in summer. i'm asking for a Framework Laptop 16 (well, money for it) because next year im going to high school and i want a really strong laptop. speaking of laptops... ive never had a desktop! my first laptop was running windows 7 and was very very bad, it was a bday gift and ig my parents didnt realize how much strength i needed considering i got it around 2022, than since it broke, they made up for it and got me an IdeaPad 3 8x18... still a slow one... very cheap, but it worked... until it broke. so now i have my surface laptop studio; my longest lasting device. i'm also currently trying to turn a raspberry pi into a main desktop (see https://blueprint.hackclub.com/projects/9039) bc why not. anyways, i gotta do my homework now, but im gonna get to the top of the streak board 100%!

DAY 6 (2026-01-06): No dev works for now (I'll be taking a bit of a break from the daily logs shortly), although you may want to read this. Please respect anyone's boundaries for the matter and thank you for your understanding.

Day 5/365 Made some more aces work! I now have more cards, nearly done with all of the "pull" cards! Once i finish those I will work on gameplay loop then implementing the 2 other card categories. I also made a even more complex round simulation system where it gets the top cards in 200 rounds by hand count and player count. (x and y respectively). this data actually reveals some very interesting connections trust!!
