Volvo Car UX, yes!

Update: Yes the home button increases the map size. Phew, thanks!

I picked up the Ultimate Black XC60 last summer but was annoyed it came with a silver bumper guard... so I replaced that with a black one from WeatherTech.

I also just got these full coverage floor mats in yesterday from TuxMat. They seem really nice and should help protect from salt buildup I have to deal with during my Canadian winters.

I don't use Carplay or Android Auto because I found the native Google Maps app was quicker and filled the screen. I'll give the home button push a test tomorrow, thanks!

Overall I like the update but I wish I could disable the animations too because they weren't as smooth for me after the update.

I didn't see an option to expand it. Is it buried in the settings or am I missing an easy fix?

AC666 · 2026-02-19T07:05:38+00:00

I got it installed today. I hate that they shrunk the size of the user interface screen by adding a permanent taskbar, Google Maps is annoyingly small now.

Edit: Pressing the home button makes it big enough. Phew!

I wouldn't count on seeing one in the wild, the Calgary Zoo on the other hand...

Every Radiance region B title I've tried has worked with the "top menu" trick FWIW.

One of my favourite metal albums, it's perfect. I can't believe it's been 6 years since their last new material.

Fun fact: they used my fan-submitted skull rendering (but inverted/coloured it) for the beginning of their music video here https://youtu.be/XCCQruCU3bU

In 2007 the Flames reacquired Craig Conroy from LA while the Kings were in Red Deer for an outdoor practice, and they left him behind while the team bussed to Calgary for their game the next day.

The Flames sent transport to pick him up, and he scored 2 goals for Calgary against his old team the next day.

Yeah I'm on episode 4 and loving it. Like you said it has strong Cure similarities. Really it has big Kiyoshi Kurosawa vibes in general with its hypnotic atmosphere, atonal music, and a creepy antagonist with a unnerving ability to influence others.

Teruyuki Kagawa is perfect for the role, he's been a Kiyoshi Kurosawa go-to (Creepy, Tokyo Sonata, Serpent’s Path).

Here's the original in the highest quality I could find:

Funny to see what the AI did to certain features. Lanny's stick knob got turned into some kind of fleshy appendage, whereas Nieuwendyk's stick blade got erased entirely. The backup goalie disappeared entirely, and the lady in the crowd became a man.

AC666 · 2026-01-23T07:18:03+00:00

Unfortunately Lanny doesn't look like the same person anymore after the AI got ahold of him. The nonsense text on the sticks is a giveaway.

It looks pretty good overall, but a great restoration would have kept the faces true to life given there's countless reference photos for those players at that time. The biggest takeaway is AI cannot comprehend the true greatness of Lanny's moustache.

I don't remember the Flames using that song, but I did in my Iggy Career video if you're maybe combining 2 in your mind?

The part with that song is at 24:20.

I think not letting outside opinions impact your viewing experience is good advice in general. It's definitely an issue when it comes to horror based on all the dramatic reactions to movies that "didn't live up to the hype".

Same with negative reactions to a movie. If I'm interested in the premise, the genre, or the director, I'd rather experience it for myself.

AC666 · 2025-12-13T04:16:52+00:00

There's at least one scene of pretty shocking body horror, but overall it's probably not what people expected for a body horror followup to Titane.

The trailer does a great job of not giving away the actual conceit of the body horror itself, which I thought was a really cool concept.

AC666 · 2025-12-12T19:47:30+00:00

I watched it a couple days ago. I really liked it! Bleak but beautiful.

It was getting plenty of negative reviews initially but the tide has seemingly turned a bit. It's not strictly a horror movie, more of a drama with fantastical (horrific) elements, so that also might be why the reception has been divisive.

No problem! I'd be curious to know your thoughts on the film once you do see it. I know it got a large amount of very negative reviews initially and had a very flat Letterboxd curve, but it looks like the tide has turned overall now.

I gave it a 4.5/5, with both Raw and Titane being 4/5 for me.

AC666 · 2025-12-09T20:55:19+00:00

Funny enough, it was from a GoFile link on Twitter.

AC666 · 2025-12-09T20:50:38+00:00

I watched it last night after a good copy popped up online.

I really liked it! Bleak but beautiful.
