  • Entirely depends on what you’re looking for in an anime and manga. It’s full of hornybait and fanservice, but also does manage to tell a romantic high school story about how you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover and how you gotta keep striving to be your best self while also staying true to your feelings.

    It’s genuinely wholesome, but also targeted more towards guys. If you’re put off by that description, avoid it. If it sounds like your cup of tea, go for it.


  • Honestly, pretty decent adaptation so far.
    I like the VA for Sung Jinwoo. He’s definitely doing a banger job.

    But I do miss some of the more intricate page-spanning artworks where you had to scroll from left to right to even get the full picture of what’s going on. I guess that is just very hard to adapt to an animated format.


  • Okay, so far not bad.
    I like that they don’t rush things, but I haven’t really felt blown away either.
    The manhwa managed to really incorporate the amazing art on these beautiful colored pages with big impressive moments, but that’s not the vibe I am getting from the anime yet. Hoping for episode 2 to do “the grin” justice.




  • “Legal” doesn’t immediately mean “moral”. Everything is legal as long as there isn’t a law specifically banning it, and those laws often only get created as a result of someone abusing their legal right to something.

    Google collects also way more data than you pointed out, in every avenue possible. Ever solved a captcha? You likely helped Google train their image recognition AI. Got an android smartphone (a brand that previously had committed itself to being open-source and linux based)? Have fun with pre-installed unremovable Google Spyware. You’re forced to create a GMail account to interact with the whole App ecosystem of the market.
    Google can remotely (without your consent) download and delete apps on your smartphone, read your personal data (including stuff you have saved on your SD card) and accesses your camera, pictures and GPS-Data regularly.

    I just read an article to prepare for writing this comment and feel actually sick now, I wanna jump ship and get an independent OS, screw the AppStore…





  • This is only the pilot and they’re trying to get the series greenlit.

    Uhhh considering the amount of views and the hype it generated, I hope they reached their goal?
    But in terms of production, well, no idea how long it will take. If they want to make a whole season with episodes on this quality level, then I can imagine you might have to wait 1~2 years minimum? But that’s just my uninformed opinion, take it with a grain of salt. Might be more, might be less.

    Be sure to set the audio track of the video to your preferred language!

    So this animation randomly exploded and made it’s way onto my frontpage.

    I watched it just out of curiosity and have been kind of obsessed over it ever since, so I thought I’d share it with the fediverse.

    To add a little bit of background on why this video went viral, it should be noted that this is produced by indie animation studio called “Glitch” and the creator called “Gooseworx” had a following from a previous animation. I can imagine the artstyle in this one is not everybodies cup of tea, but I am personally amazed by it and very intrigued!



  • Personally, I block anything related to news&politics on the fediverse (same on reddit).

    Humans have a structural problem with any system that allows voting on the visibility of headlines. It encourages outrage, populism, attention grabbing headlines while discouraging more refined factual discussions. Kinda like tabloid journalism.
    Reddit has the same problem and way worse, but with enough time it will happen here too.

    Most users read the headline before giving their own opinion, not many take their time to read a majority of other comments and the least amount of users actually read the linked article (which is to be honest also often the fault of the quality of an article, i.e. being too long, boring and partially ai-generated).

    This results in the most lukewarm most agreeable opinions being top comments, while they’re also oftentimes being uninformed.

    This is just what I gathered from my own personal experience with social media, I don’t have any good sources to back up my claims.

    Nah, Discord is already a way into the enshittifation process. Back when it first got popular, people ditched skype to migrate to discord en masse, because discord was lightweight and quick as fuck and had 0 ads.

    Nothing about this software nowadays gives me the feeling of being quick.



  • Yea, they are useless when being changed at will, but what if the TOS specifically said “You can disregard future TOS versions and still abide by this old one under certain circumstances” ?
    You would still be complying with the Terms of Service, by not honoring the new Terms of Service.

    Obviously, this is still a terrible situation regardless, but I am thinking about if the old TOS won’t give already released games a way out of this BS, or even better, may keep a usable Unity version alive for the future. Long term obviously, as many people as possible should ditch unity entirely, but for right now, it looks like a lot of developers will have big trouble starting in just 3 months.
