Apr. 15th, 2026 03:09 pmin happier news: got to personally thank one of the character designers for the old Buzz Lightyear animated show back in the 2000's. :D (He's posting on bsky -- that show genuinely rewrote some of my brain neurons.)
Reminds me when I got to thank the main dev of SW:Starfighter for his amazing physics engine work when i think he was posting on formspring? ask.fm? (one of those); that game also made a substantial chunk of my childhood.
i do have to remind myself the internet can be a really cool place sometimes.
(This feels loosely relevant to a blog post i saw recently how all of the writer's favorite commenters actually never commented and instead sent emails directly to him. Got a chuckle out of that as somebody who sent like, three emails yesterday to webmasters personally thanking them or for similar casual chatting. email is the best social media <3)
