I found a place. also I have to move the tiny computer mountain.

I found a place and I move in on the 9th. Midori AI is getting a little easier to move with me, even if moving the hardware is still going to be a whole adventure.

I might have somewhere to go. maybe.

housing is still scary but I am talking to some places now. also friends are helping keep Midori AI online and I made more weird stuff.

I am scared and I still do not have a place to go

personal
Riley Midori
I am still really close to getting displaced, I still have not found somewhere to go, and Midori AI may have some downtime. I have also still been working on things when I can.

the app got updated and github auth is still annoying me

I worked on the radio app, put out a Side Moment, made a bunch of Real Moments art, kept messing with session 9, and github auth is still not fixed.

I made more music and github auth still sucks

I made some new music, I am fixing the radio art, Real Moments got more work, and github auth is still being a pain in my ass.

Session 6 part 1 is finally out

Session 6 part 1 is out, I fought the images, redid a bunch of Real Moments world stuff, and kept chasing two Runner bugs.

The radio used four gigs of memory

I fixed a big vibes memory problem, cleaned up some tts bugs, and found two more agents runner bugs.

Radio vibes, blog archive stuff, and why Session 6 is taking longer

Riley Midori
I redid the radio and blog pages, rebuilt TTS around the actual story, and delayed Session 6 after finding problems in Storylint and the character voices it was supposed to protect.

Agents Runner stuff, radio stuff, and a lot of things that finally work better

I got a bunch of Agents Runner control and environment work done, then the Website Blog radio got way more real. Also lyrics, lore, and a few fixes that were quietly important.

Side Stories, Cleanup Sweeps, and a Very Gentle Pause

A new lore game opened its doors, Agent-Runner got 22 rounds of type cleanup, the blog learned to lock its own secrets, and we all slowed down for something that matters more than code.

Shiny Cards, Stubborn Tools, and the Morning Echo Broke

Species Care Cards shipped with 3D tilt and holographic polish, the blog got faster, Agent-Runner cleaned up its act, and the Real Moments lore delivered scenes that are still sitting heavy.
