I resisted tech animation for years. Every animator at DICE was already doing it and I just wanted to focus on the craft, why take on another layer when animation is hard enough, right? But I've come round to it. The more we work in engine, the more natural it feels to build blueprints and implement

I did get one other birthday gift for Shawna. Several months before her birthday, she called out that Zelda and her Age of Calamity Master Cycle would make an incredible Akira-style poster. I took notes and then quietly commissioned the incredible @lokyu.bsky.social to create it. It came out well!

An akira-style poster with the Princess Zelda walking towards the Master Cycle. Below the text reads “Zelda” with the katakana for the Zelda over it.

I think I'd say ... Don't run universities like a business; run them like universities. Not everything is assimilable to some other market-based category. Universities have their origins, and in many ways find their deepest purposes, in a medieval world very different from our own.

My hot take is Uni libraries should become hybrid, distributing subject specific books to particular schools/ departments, instead of treating libraries as monolithic temples of knowledge to travel to.
