Howdy gang! Been busy again and have a ton to show off!

Dumping the art first:
- Orcane Pets - Commission for Yogurtboy (Itaku)
- El Oso Frio - Fanart for Etalus from Rivals of Aether 2 (Itaku)
- Lars - Commission for LarsPreston (Itaku)
- Sika Car (Itaku)
- Aiden (Itaku)
- Trident - SonaPartment-adjacent gag (Itaku)
- Fighting Games for Some Reason

And now the articles:
- Why Language Learning Times are Fake
- A Bicyclist's Lament - Vent-y article on USA bike infrastructure
- In Defense of a Minimalistic Auxlang

Good news for DracoFighter fans -- spriting progress has been slow but steady, and we're on track to finish all the character sprites soon! There won't be much to show any time in the near future, but know that I haven't forgotten about the game.

I also made a little video celebrating my entry into Tekken God in Tekken 8! Unfortunately, that's much less impressive now at the time of writing, but I'm still very proud of my progress as a Tekken player.

Finally, we need to talk about Dasopya. I released Dasopya 1.2.3, but it came with some other news: Dasopya will undergo a rebrand with a small overhaul!

"Huh? I thought the language was over 95% complete?" Well, I am going back on my word a bit, but in exchange, my language will be 100% stable after the rebrand.

This will come with some caveats (something intended to be a living language can't truly be 100% stable, after all), but once the update is out, I'll have a dedicated post to talk about the update and what it entails. Just know that the numbered updates and constant tinkering will finally come to an end. If you'd like an early look at the language that is now named Dagapya (whose update is likely finished already), you can check out the official website which is already live: https://dagapya.com/

Still, I'm happy to finally be able to address the longstanding issues I've had with Dasopya. While this sort of project can never be perfect, I think I'll be very happy and satisfied with this version of the language being the one in people's hands. I know conlangs aren't everyone's cup of tea, so I really do appreciate everyone's support and interest.

Thank you all for reading this month's article, and I'll see you all next time! telu min gwi tonu!
