Sometimes, I remember how much I liked Solar Ash. What a magnificent game that was.

Interestingly enough, the two movie that (to me) achieve to bring the visceral sensation of gender dysphoria (and transition) don't even feature trans characters.
I'm talking about Under The Skin (2013) and Possessor(2020).

Praise Cinema Orion in Helsinki. That single independent with 1 screen and doing 8-10€ a seat, doesn’t have those annoying tables and doesn’t look absurdly fancy.
And even, sometimes do 35mm of like mulholland drive or Jeanne Dielman. Finnkino in all its might can’t compete with such awesomeness.

It’s very french of me to say that but even after years I still can’t get used to how bad movie theaters are in Finland.
It’s like 14euros a seat, no subscription-like thing for regular cinephiles, very little non American movies and half of seats are tables with a light that you can’t turn off.

I can’t count the number of times where the entire room was completely empty on release day. Even on big blockbuster releases.
(Which, that mind sounds strange to some but the shared experience is kind of important to me)

Lea - Newin AKA Shodan’s girlfriend @newincpp.bsky.social · 20h

There is also this strange thing where the seats tend to look absurdly fancy and the room is always silent.
It feels so gentrified for the popular art it’s supposed to be and that kind of makes me sad…

I got a broken gaydar that recognise NB people and notify me through triggering a crush on them.

Lea - Newin AKA Shodan’s girlfriend @newincpp.bsky.social · 1d

my 2 cents is: new tech is interesting when you build it to solve a specificity. using it because it's the fancy last thing is a recipe for disaster and it's kind of doomed to look outdated because it will look like when it was fashionable.

The fact we have an international lesbian day (aka today) imply the rest of the year is domestic lesbian day.

Funnily enough, to get the anatomy right, I posed a character in 3D and screenshoted it.

Lea - Newin AKA Shodan’s girlfriend @newincpp.bsky.social · 5d

So I made the mistake 2 weeks ago of trying to draw a character for a TTRPG. Thing is I have 20 years of 3D art xp and no 2D one but somehow, despite that I thought 2D would be faster.
It wasn’t.
Now I’m in sunk cost fallacy of trying to bring it in okay-quality but I just don’t have the skills.

Seeing all those likes makes me want to post more photos of those very nice legs of mine. But on the other hand, this is going to start to look weird.

Lea - Newin AKA Shodan’s girlfriend @newincpp.bsky.social · 5d

I have many things I don’t like about my own body but almost everyday I step in front of the mirror and think “damn, those are nice legs"

A cosmic horror game where everybody is slowly going insane. Except one character who is a gamedev. Because they are already insane.

Sometimes I be like “woah this person is so cool I should engage through repling to their post. Show appreciation and stuff”.
Then I be like “nah that’s weird” *just leave a like and scroll*.

the very bisexual problem of finding everyone cute (except me) and being single

this kind of almost makes me want to go beyond my growing alergy of technology and try my couple of bad idea I posted in here to see if it lead to a good one. Like some kind of hope that I could beat dlss at its own game without ml or temporal component.

Seeing graphics programming going toward neural this neural that about everywhere kind of makes me sad.
Like relying on some big company that have lots of data to produce magic blackbox or throwing data at the machine and see what comes on the other side isn't exactly my idea of fun.

Something where it would spiral in a political war hard enough that lead to a mass exodus of people from those studio into new one like an EA2 made by mythosis. leaving andrew wilson alone in a middle of a wasteland of debt.
Sending a warning signal to the rest of the industry

Something in me would like to see a spectacular protest from inside EA about that PIF buyout. like a general strike from studios that have a philosophy of diversity.
