TL;DR: It’s a good movie, but it is not exactly what I was expecting.
Minor spoilers.

Sisu Review
So, those of us who are not Finnish might require a bit of an explanation on what sisu is. You’ll find a lot of different definitions, but they all seem to miss the point. Sure, sisu is about perseverance, but its not only that. Its finding the solution, no matter what.
ChatGPT and Singularity
This is very, very random even for this blog, but here we go. Here’s a hypothesis: When we reach singluarity in AI, it won’t be the Ai becomeing smarter and smarter, its us becoming stupider and stupider until the AI, which can mimic a mediocre human just happens to be smarter. I’m not saying Idiocracy. This is something completely different instead.
Parhaat Kirjastokino-elokuvat
Asuin tässä kaupungissa viisi vuotta ennen kuin hankin kirjastokortin. Tämä johtuu siitä, että tapani lukea ei oikein toimi kirjaston aikataulujen kanssa (minulla on usein samaan aikaan helposti 7-8 kirjaa työn alla, joten laina-ajat eivät oikein sovellu minulle), mutta päätin nyt vihdoin tehdä sen, koska tajusin, että meillä on Suomessakin oma kirjastojen suoratoistopalvelu, joka on ilmainen (kunhan on vaan kirjastokortti).
My Take on Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines for 60 Card Formats

Weird history rules. Well, here and everywhere else as well. One of the easiest things to make your world feel lived-in and unique is to just take a piece of obscure history and place it in your world, whether its an invention or an actual event or garment or hairstyle. I just find all of this very interesting and it just happens to coincide nicely with RPG hobby.

Something something opening here.
Must-See Movies (Spoiler: there are none)
This doesn’t only apply to movies, but also books, comics, music, museums, whatever… any kind of media basically.
Very slight and meaningless spoilers.
I Don’t Know What to Expect from James Gunn’s DCEU
So, James Gunn and Peter Safran have taken over the franchise for Warner. They have already killed projects and announced that they will be announcing something during January (isn’t it fun that we get these announcements for announcements?). I definitely wasn’t a fan of Snyder’s take on DC, but I’m not sure this is a good development.
Some Good Moments from 2022
Okay, the world is shit, again. Who thought that it could get worse after the last two years? Yes, here we are and while there are signs that something might be changing, it would also seem that we, as a global society, have to go through more rough times before its going to get better. With that in mind, a little mental health break here at the end of 2022.
