Mar. 14th, 2026 08:05 pmI think in the future, I may actually hold off on buying badges for AwesomeCon until the schedule is actually announced. I can't do that for any event I travel to, perhaps, but I don't think this one even sells out like that. If I'd done that this time, I'd have gone yesterday and tomorrow, and my foot probably would've been very grateful for the day off in between to boot.
As it is, the highlight of the event for me this year was absolutely Neil and Devora. Doing a podcast together has made the two of them a brilliant double act. They were playing off each other perfectly even before they had cause to demonstrate some of the practical issues of mocap using their water bottles. But the audience also helped with some of their very creative questions; Devora even joked she might come back to DC just for the questions. One of them was what was the last line each of them recorded for BG3. Unfortunately Devora couldn't remember what she'd done last, and Neil couldn't remember the last line, either, but he did remember and relate the last thing he did for it, which now makes me want to play origin Astarion.
I managed to buy a few things as well, including a cute drawing of Mulder and Scully eating Chinese food. Today I also attended a panel of those searching for any signs of life in outer space, which ended up feeling more like a reminder of just how much we have found in space this century, even if we haven't yet found that.
But I am currently planning for my first ever stream to be in a week's time, so now I must buckle down. I finally downloaded OBS this evening, though I haven't tried to install it yet.
