Regarding the interface: Krita is heavily designed to match artist workflow around the world. Here’s the complexity:

Different region, ages, and level of professionality have entirely different of common/standard app.

A lot of comic artist or illustrator that delves in anime/manga/ACG style in Asia use Clip Studio Paint as their main software. People from Western gaming industry often used Photoshop or Procreate. Teenager in Asia often use ibisPaint. PaintToolSAI for lightweight and customizable interface. There’s Rebelle for replicating traditional realistic painting.

Krita tried to cater to all of these people, not just “Photoshop users” that mostly just for image editing.

It also the only FOSS YT-based music player that actually support ruby text lyrics for Japanese.

TIL there’s Malaysian Lemmy instance called “monyet” nice name

Another reminder that we need to keep Crunchyroll from operating in SEA market.

We enjoy our anime being available on several platform at the same time. Whether it was on Netflix, Bilibili, Muse YouTube, or regional smaller platform.

Japan actually have a lot of independent PC game store, like DLsite and DMM.

Vtuber also popularize new generation to PC gaming, especially for competitive and social games. Not to forget, so many PC-only games sold in Japan store exclusive due to culturak differences.

The actual answer is Vtuber.

Vtuber playing a lot of PC-only games or modding acene, making people get inteoduced to PC gaming.

There is an actual industry analyst, but I forgot the source.

Some people actually do, especially for people from similar music fandom.

I use Last.fm for more than decade and its nice to find fellow friend that have incredibly same niche music taste.

In a way, it’s the same as peopel sharing books collection on Goodreads or tracking movie list on Letterboxd.
