Not gonna live react to the #Oscars (I want to sleep) but early highlight is this award win for Flow in best animated feature!
The first Latvian film to ever be nominated for an Oscar and in the most important category in my opinion 😉 Also a category normally dominated by the US studios. #Blender

📣 This time next week I WON'T be at PGC London, because it would have finished by now. However I WILL be there Mon/Tues because that's when its happening. Hope that's useful info.
If you're there, when it's happening, do say hi - I'll mostly be dashing between the 4+ meeting zones + The Jugged Hare

Love that this final Calvin and Hobbes comic is getting widely shared for New Years; one of the best closing flourishes from an artist of a beloved creation. After 29 years still hits.
Aside; it was also one of my first desktop PC backgrounds so gives a Win98 vibe for me too ☺️

First game I bought myself... I think! Almost certainly WHSmith; extra anticipation after purchase as it would take 15+ mins to load 😄
