Smeagol (failing my riddle): What's updog, precioussss?

Thirty years ago, I used the holidays to rewrite our in-house 3d tool from scratch, based on specs and design I worked on for a year. On January 2nd 1994, the first version of Blender was running!
I'm incredible proud, humbled and impressed of where it went. Happy 30th birthday :) #b3d

Today Blender turns 30! 🎂 Happy birthday and thanks to everyone for being part of this amazing community!

Here’s to the next 30 years! #b3d

I am nervous about it because there's so much packed in here and also it's based on some of my master's thesis research so it feels kind of precious to me.

All my physical games are back in stock - that's World Ending Game, The Cloister, and The Ground Itself. I did reprints! Exciting.
