It took a Japanese co-worker's recommendation to make me, a Finnish man, watch one of the most well known Finnish films of recent years (Sisu, 2022).
Certainly not perfect, but great cinematography, music, and of course, action. And a great final scene, which I always appreciate. Glad I watched it.

I imagine I'm basically at the very beginning still, but really good stuff (as expected) so far.

Hadn't looked at reviews in a while, but apparently I got my first (and only) negative review last month. I honestly can't even be mad about this 😂

This is the one I've been using for white outlines and the like.
I haven't really tried to use it on another Posca pen, though, as I mostly use Sakura Pigma Microns for my blacks.

One more entry to YouTube's new terrible UX list:
Pausing now leaves the UI on top of the video, so anything at the bottom of the screen is obscured. This is where a lot of games have their UI, so pausing to look at items/skills etc becomes a pain.

Also finished watching Made in Abyss.
Equal parts beautiful and absolutely messed up. Not quite sure how to feel about it yet, but the worldbuilding is certainly very intriguing and quite unique.

Saw this for the first time today (in the theater, no less).
I can definitely see why it has influenced a lot of media since.
Also, even though the movie is close to 30 years old, I feel like the commentary on celebrity/idol culture is still quite relevant even today.

"You know how the volume slider is parallel to the progress bar, neatly right under it, right? What if we changed it to a vertical one that goes over the video in a way more obstructive way? Maybe even add a little Mute tooltip above it so it takes more space!"

Are there any examples of humanoid characters with animal ears in #anime, #manga, #games, etc that have the area where human ears would be visible?
It's been bothering me forever that every time I see a character like that, they have a hairstyle that conveniently covers that part of their head 😂

Lies of P base game finished.
Such a great game. Probably in my top 3 souls-likes with Dark Souls and Bloodborne.
Heading into the Zoo now.

Depends on how we define "best looking", but I personally think Signalis nailed the art style.
I especially liked the first-person sections (in terms of graphics).
