If you still can, tell your parents everything you need to while they can understand. Your chance can go away in a moment.

All They Had To Do Was Nothing

Australia is generally bad at food and culture, but my god the coffee is so much better than in Europe. Paying twice as much for machine made instead of a great barista coffee is crazy.

Art Nouveau is the highest form of art.

DLP doesn't have much of what makes a great park for me. There's no surprise, no incredible unique ride, no jawdropping vistas. The original details are nice, but it's a Disney park: details are table stakes. There are so many critical issues I don't know how they fix it. Or if they even care.

Guys I just got evacuated off of Hyperspace Mountain after 10 very uncomfortable minutes in its awful restraints. I walk over to Pirates AND AM GETTING EVACUATED OFF THIS

Ok DLP has been rough, but I bet Walt Disney Studios Paris will save the day

I don't see how Disneyland Paris is fixable. We're talking Capital-B Billions of investment to get it to California Adventure levels.

Welp. We'll see how it goes. Just keep repeating "It's not gonna be Tokyo it's not gonna be Tokyo" and it'll be ok.

Imagine getting an overwhelming electoral victory and immediately caving to anything the GOP wants. Democrat leadership are all clowns.

I'm not good at business: turning air travel into an unreliable crapshoot will make the US more money right

I know "reality" and "normal" are hard to remember, but in functional democracies, the government doesn't just shut down.

I would never drop even a fourth rank vote for the Democrats if they existed in Australia. Anti-healthcare, no gun control or public transit policy... they'd be fighting with the Lib Nats for conservative votes.

RIP Dick Cheney, gone too late 🥀

Good never wins

Introvert Pro Trip: travel abroad where they speak another language, everyone leaves you peacefully alone

I visited the real life Dark Souls double helix staircase!

I should've been French. Shame they don't understand Baseball.

30 hours of travel, and I've been awake for 40, but it's all worth it. The first* Gothic cathedral, St Denis. Mesmerizing.

8trax opened in 1992, with music from the late 70s, 15 years. The equivalent club opening today would play retro hits like Bad Romance, California Gurls, and Dynamite.

Flying from Sydney to Europe does not get easier the more you do it. Hello from hour 26 of travel

Project Update - heading for a month in France + The Benelux this Friday, so no Horizons updates until ~December.

Propose an EPCOT pavilion for your niche interest. Such as, I think MF DOOM + Madvillain deserve a pavilion for Madvillainy

The DNA Chain. Omnimax film recreation is complete.

Sondheim's Company is such a beautiful, wonderful show that is both stuck in the 70s yet ages flawlessly. Few shows are as jammed with all-time great songs.

I feel I'm going down the rabbithole of craziness with AI hatred the way Boomers do with Fox News. Difference is I'm still pretty sure I'm right.

More Horizons Omnimax work: Space Shuttle, Space Station (modeled from scratch), and Landsat Photography.

Recreating the Horizons Omnimax video piece by piece.

We test in Production.

At this point, I think it's clear we're never getting the Universe of Energy source films. Meaning I have two realistic options: 1. Use some sort of AI tool to generate the clips I otherwise will never be able to get or 2. Never release UoE as it should be. So... what would you do?

1960s pub with a 1980s rendering Good Lord what is going on in there

Horizons preview, scenes 7-9. Sound on!

Horizons Urban Habitat nearing completion at last.

Added details to HOR16 - Desert Farm, including the satellite dish, printouts, lighting, plants, etc.

Good to have Universe of Energy closer to completion.

The long lost Universe of Energy atmosphere loop has finally been released! I implore you to give it a listen. Great work from Josh at E82. t.co/GBKGjJvnLd

2 more just like that, Blue Jays

Romeo and Juliet is very bad. ...And Juliet is very bad. West Side Story isn't very good. Maybe we can just forget that whole genre, please?

Contrasts #6.

Happy birthday to EPCOT Center, a place I liked quite a bit.

Might have to delay all future project work until I can write a full length book on whether Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Dame sucks or not, and why

Absolute proof that I do not mindlessly glaze everything OG EPCOT Center: I hate this friggin tower

Everyone in the world needs to see this live action Steamed Hams masterpiece. youtu.be/pk-Oq8iYtVA?...

Hello Perth. I'm so far from where I grew up, you can't even see them both when fully zoomed out.

Hope everyone is having a ball at Retromagic, wish I was there!

An extremely productive day.

Current state of Horizons 10 (Art Deco II), prior to installation of background and Test/Adjust.

Starting on the Horizons 10 background mural, the biggest remaining 2d art piece.

Contrasts #5. It's not all bad.
