Inforce with a sence of humor at times. I what to repect the rules, but people are going to unintentionally brake them and thay need a reminder and the bouncer is going to get some feedback. I will abide by the rules. It's your place and I'm a guest. I will, speek my opinion once in a while.

This abuse of power must stop!
Look at him starting to target some commodities and companies like Apple, GM and areas like Entertainment.
We, invest in these companies and his Tariffs has had a Deep Impact on some of us that work in Home industry and have to rely on foreign commerce to get buy!

...only to put a pulse on the Tariffs and it's "Taco Tuesday".
Then the market goes up again and Trump sells and makes a profit! Trump is using his presidency to play the markets like a fiddle.
This loser has fund the best way to make money is from the Ovel Office and not the Board Room!

I will have to skip a con or two to offset the cost, but if I can make some cool software out of it, it maybe worth it! Or is just can be fun! I haven't looked at VR in the past 5 years because it was not my job to do so anymore and to focus on game programing, but now it for the adventure & fun!

I know you have Depression at times. I've Never had it! I just feel the Blues once in a Wile!
My friend Mark Hasty Bennet has Depression and to him it is the Deepest Feeling he has ever expected. Like someone dropped a Mac Truck on his head.
Hope you get out of it!

Notice the ballet of ceremony to awh and intimate his opponent, the deep consecration on his target as he evaluates his attack. It is truely memorizing!

Well, I'm even a software developer and guess what I wound up doing when I lost my computer graphics development job after 15 years! I wound up teaching Blender. Mostly because my boss was too cheep to buy Maya when I created 3D models. It was for military simulation software - that I also wrote.

One last thing: Don't ever lose sight of your creative vision. Is it going to be scary? You bet! But even a Rubber hose 1930's cartoon girl has a place in V Tubing, making people happy in these crazy times we live in.
Keep your professional chin up! Don't lose sight of the Magic!!
Laters!

With all the changes in the past 3+ years, I can't say enough good things about it! I'm not a big pushover! I've been working in CG industry for over 30 years and Blender really had to earn its stripes! Blender was a program that the industry has laughed at earlier, but they are not laughing now!

I was not a big Blender fan at that time, and I even thought I would get ostracized for using it over Maya. Also, being a software developer, I am known for experimenting with odd tools that professionals say are toys - What lack of creative vision they have!
All I will say in parse for Blender is:

Please don't get into a rut like I do!
I love and care about you as a human being as well as a creative.
Don't fall in that trap! Pace yourself.
Set Times for your work but fell free to brake things up if you feel the strain! Set limits and stick to them!

I will be with my friends and just chill and be with people at my own pace. It not far from home, but far enough not to talk shop and nothing to over stress myself!

People where doing welfare checks on me to see if I was O.K. By that time I understood that I had to set rules and fallow then. Part of that is take time off. I'm just going to spend a day at ECCC at Seattle this weekend and just roam the halls and chill in a hotel bed! Do otherwise nothing! (cont)

but I started falling into that old trap again. I was working from 8 am to 4 am and on top of that, I was also getting on line training people as well. I was a 29 Year old in a 66 year old body. I could not continue this way! I had to pace myself. I had to take a week or two off and recover.. (cont)

I fell into that trap! It started effecting me mentally and physically. I had to put the foot down and pace my work, but it's hard!
Not long ago, I started posting my Blender stuff on one of the industry panels and this got me more work! At first this was great and I loved it,.. (cont)

Then Covid hit and I had to learn to work from home and I have been a remote worker ever since! No Problem!
Well, that turned into a problem of pacing my work. I fallowed the demands of clients that cared little for my well being but played on my passion for my job and over time.. (cont)

I think you have a great point, I have felt for years! That is because the GOP I have grown up with has died. Furthermore the art of Diplomacy has been trampled in the face of an ugly elitism that cares little about the people and more about someone's ideals that make no common sense.

I'm happy for the Flow team! Gints Zilbalodis is not that removed from us Blender Hacks! But, now he has the Golden Statue to add to his decore!

We who love Animation, have to learn from the basics of story telling. Flow reminds me of the short film the Red Balloon. A film I saw in my childhood and was my first lesson in storytelling and appreciation. It was also something I was reminded of when I saw Flow!
So, work hard and practice!
