Autodesk Loses Its F**king Mind

Just a quick one to get this out of my head.

So I was half asleep the other morning and overheard someone talking about the Autodesk University (AU) 2023 Keynote Speaker being Ryan Reynolds.

Now, I have nothing against Mr. Reynolds - his performance as Deadpool/Wade Wilson was absolutely hilarious - but what does an actor have to do with a software company like Autodesk?

While attempting to get to the bottom of this, I ran across this drug trip from earlier this year:

In this short (apparently from the Oscars? IDGAF) we hear about a Hollywood visionary being hailed by various actors (and a voice-over) who goes by the name of 'Otto Descinski' (or 'Otto Desc' for short... get it? It sounds like Autodesk... Get it?)

Apparently this was an attempt by Autodesk to 'humanize' the company (while also humblegbragging about how their software is used in VFX (not sure what percentage if VFX is done with with Autodesk software, but Maya does seem to show up in a lot of VFX toolboxes).

My only hope is that their development team(s) had more on the ball than the bozo dumbfucks that shat out (and continue to drizzle diarrhea over) Revit. 

But back to Ryan Reynolds. Yes, his sarcastic wit makes for a great Deadpool (not to mention his commercials for Mint Mobile), but wtf?

I'm sure whatever wanktastic bunch of wanking wankers who actually attend AU's presentation will get to have a few laughs before they go back to wanking wanktastically.

It's just fucking weird.

Fuck Autodesk - that is all.

Next Time: Flip the script.
