Damn.. They're making a gorgeous figurine of the Owlman.. Wish I could just throw out 100$ for something like that. No idea what shipping costs and customs would add to that... So best forget it. :blobcat_tears:
But just look at him! He even comes with his little altar! :blobcatheart:

• The way I see it, Google has four core cultural problems. They are all the natural consequences of having a money-printing machine called “Ads” that has kept growing relentlessly every year, hiding all other sins. (1) no mission, (2) no urgency, (3) delusions of exceptionalism, (4) mismanagement.

I recently stumbled upon an explanation by a pro photographer of why he doesn't shoot in RAW. Basically, as he shoots *hundreds* images a day, there's just no time for careful post-processing from the ground up. So instead he learned his cameras and lenses so well that he knows how to get what he wants straight out of camera.

It was a big insight for me, as I only shoot in RAW and ignore all the camera modes and film simulations. But then, I'm just an amateur.

Also really funny that the old king just leaves the princess there and she doesn't miss a beat

• Dragon Quest 3 SNES screencap: The main character, as king, talking to the princess of Romalia. She says in Japanese, "Please remain with your princess forevermore."

In Dragon Quest 3 you briefly become king of Romalia. In the SNES version you just dress up in royal clothes, but as a kid I loved how in the NES version you actually walk around looking exactly like all of the other kings in the game.

• Dragon Quest III SNES screencap: main character standing outside the castle of Romalia. The status screen is selected in the menu, and it says in Japanese, "It seems the king was once quite strong."

Don't change framework. Don't buy a new tool. Just run it through webpagetest.org or devtools with both CPU and network throttling on and try to understand where the time goes.
