50 random things we've learned or observed in 2025

It is the time of year for clickbait videos with lists of things, so we decided to do our own version.

So, here's 50 random things we've learned or observed over the past 12 months. Maybe some of them will be interesting or useful to someone, and you'll probably see more of some of these when we do our annual review.

Not all of these are new-new. But they're things we've thought about in new lights, at least. Or that we'd forgotten about and rediscovered.

As a production note, we basically wrote these out and then randomized their order, just to guarantee no sense of flow!

• As someone that list the Bubsy games as a significant influence on how we present online, it's interesting having one where the problems are completely the opposite of anything before. (Specifically, too much camera control)
• There are Blender plugins to help generate cities, which might be a big help for some artists we know.
• Github Actions and Workflows are a thing we need to be better at in 2026, with a project that interacts with a lot of things on them.
• More of a reminder, but with consent, spend hours cuddling the friends you rarely get to see.
• Video editing (more than basic trims and crops)
