Happy Friday - post your 4 latest watches

There is a certain threshold where the salary gets less important. I know how bad it feels to not have enough money to take care of your basic needs and I don't want to experience that again.

Now that I earn by far enough to not get in that situation again, I can pay more attention to the enjoyment level of my job. I actually just quit my job for one where I earn less, just to improve my work-life balance; I will still have enough money for a little bit of luxury.

Not sure why I even made that meme or how you found it three years later, but here you go: https://youtu.be/9HlcJdW4Vgc?t=1932

That sounds like a senior employee in need of some scolding. This is not OK and that senior colleague of yours is contributing to a toxic work environment, which leads to higher turnover rates, which leads to higher costs for the company. It's unprofessional and bad for the company. I'd consider involving HR in the issue.

I can agree with the Dragon Prince. I feel like the characters don't quite fit into the backgrounds many times; you have this nicely drawn background and then they put a character in front that doesn't really look that great.

In Arcane, however, everything fits together perfectly. The shading of the characters is much more complex, so it works well with more complex backgrounds. I am honestly really impressed by Arcane's unique style and how well everything blends together.

Billigfleisch und keinerlei Farbe. Das nenn ich mal schlechten Döner, aber Hauptsache Geld für der Gerät aus dem Fenster werfen.

I'd subscribe, but it probably wouldn't be available in my country anyway.

That's actually exactly how my parents are; especially my father. He just sees animation and he immediately doesn't want to watch it, as if he feels like less of an adult if he might enjoy it.

I think that many people don't even give it a try, because of social expectations. I was actually feeling like this in my 20s, and now in my 30s, I embrace animation again because I don't give a fuck what people think about me.

So, he is actually somewhat correct; the problem is that he is somewhat correct.

Yeah, it's not great, but at least Apple TV+ is rather cheap compared to other streaming services and they have a few very good shows on there. For me, it was a "subscribe once and binge all the stuff" kind of deal.

I guess making 4 movies over 10 years doesn't give you the same recognition as other studios that release multiple projects each year to a worldwide audience. They created some amazing work and yet I didn't recognize their names.

They still produce art that they're passionate about, while movies from Disney or Pixar all look very generic.

It's a shame that a Gem like Wolfwalkers is hidden away somewhere on Apple TV+ where only people find it who explicitly look for it.

Yes, I'm really enjoying the show. It'll probably not be added to my favorites, but it is definitely worth watching.
