Jvm.dll: Unable To Load
That night, Aris dreamt of dialog boxes. They chased him through endless corridors of code. And they all said the same thing, in a calm, robotic monotone:
He tried the nuclear option: a full JRE reinstall. The progress bar crawled like a dying glacier. At 100%, he rebooted the server. The fans spun down, then up. A green light. Hope.

Great interview with two legendary DC artists.
Amazing to see more local hires, but Studio of all places needs to do more. It is one of the most toxic places to work in DC. Would love to hear David Muse address himself why the local community, in particular artists of color, are still so hesitant to work under his tenure.
