People said the first baby kicks tend to feel "like a butterfly inside the stomach". Nah. It felt like a dualshock controller in Playstation 2 inside my belly 😁 It later became stronger as weeks goes by 😍

LOG winter 2024: As the baby started to grow, so as my belly. And our parent's know-hows and gifts surely came in handy!

After some series of thoughts, I've decided to gradually move on from Meta to alternative social media channels to start sharing my comic. For starters, here are some of my earlier comics about my pregnancy! :D FYI, the kid is now already 2 months old <3

After 4 years of doctoral study in Finland, I recently realised that the Finnish doctoral hat is BLUE - instead of black, which is typical in other majors. And not just regular blue. But SONIC BLUE! Oh, what an interesting place to have a Doctor of Arts degree as a game researcher :D :D
