    This is a great thread to dump some of my knawledge

    TIL that "orz" is actually a symbol forming a person with their head on the ground. I think it's of Japanese origins and is usually used to represent shock, depression, or the need to apologize.

    Couple people were using it in discord so I had to figure out what it meant lol.

    While I don't know if it's the exact same thing, you may be thinking of Dogeza. It's the term for how people in Japanese culture kneel and bow to apologize or ask a favour.
    I've never seen "orz" written out in text but I have seen "OTL" which is for something similar, just someone bowing on one knee.

    As for what I've learned, I don't really know what to put, but apparently "orz" is used by people and that's something I was unaware of? So hey. There's that.

    Three of the continents in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon are based off the maps from previous games. The Air Continent is based on PMD Red and Blue Rescue Team's map, the Grass Continent is based on PMD Explorers of TDS's map, and the Mist Continent is based on PMD Gates to Infinity's map. The game is already full of homages to the previous games so this was a neat discovery of yet another homage.

    TIL about Premiere Pro's Captions feature and how you can easily make subtitles for videos with it. this would've reaally streamlined college projects back in the day had i discovered it then. should've paid more attention to tutorials when i first got into video editing damn it.
