It's been one year since Furtannia was published.
The UK furry fandom means a lot to me, and I'm grateful to everyone who picked up a copy and showed their support, including those who were inspired to study the fandom further.
Thank you all.

Glad I watched Zootopia/Zootropolis 2 yesterday because my social media feed now has uploads of clips clearly from people who would have been kicked out of the cinema if they tried this a decade ago.

Remember, we're all descended from human beings that thought a computer named Eliza that could ask "How long have you been banana? Do you believe it normal to be banana? Do you enjoy being banana? Is it because you are banana that you came to me?" and believed the computer had sentience.

Aspired to make a video game for a Nintendo console. Then at A-levels there was an extra curricular project and one of the teachers said "a student made a hand for his project" so that's what I did.
Spent a year making a scrolling shooter based on my favourite webcomic.

Now I remember how annoying the physics was in this game. You could drive off a ramp at full speed, but because you were 0.01° to the right your car would flip upon landing.
Then if you were in your Tuk Tuk and a taxi drove into you at 20 MPH, you'd go spinning out of control.

Oh look, it's a game I'm nostalgic for! Back in the early playstation era where AA games would be made by AAA companies. In this case, the developers of the Driver games had the idea "Hey, let's take our vehicle physics engine and make a game about being a stunt driver for movies".

We’re shocked and saddened by the attack on the attendees of GoldenHorn in Slovenia last night. No community should ever face violence for simply being themselves. ConFuzzled stands with you in this difficult time, and we're sending you our love and support.
