I’ve been reading this manga for a while and while I don’t think I’ll be watching this adaptation I can definitely say the source is good. While the girls are definitely great it’s Arisu that carries the show, you can’t really have a harem manga without the protagonist being interesting (or rather, you can but it leads to an incredibly bland/boring self-insert type stories). He’s stuck up, slightly unhinged and supremely confident but also has an incredibly strong drive and deeply cares about the things he’s committed to. Also, the fact that the people around him call him out on his ridiculousness instead of just accepting it. I’ll take an MC that’s unlikable but with redeeming qualities that you grow endeared towards over a bland cardboard cut-out any day.

Reminder: we’ve got an anime announcement - by KyoAni themselves, no less!

Ruri continues to get the short end of the stick with these dragon powers. Horns? Cool, but useless. Scales? Her AC is now 13, big deal! Give this poor girl the wings she deserves! Being able to fly places would be both AWESOME and convenient in her everyday life!

My darling manga that could! After years of hiatus and almost giving up hope of ever seeing it again, not only did we get an unexpected return but now it even gets an anime adaptation - by KyotoAni no less!

I think you perfectly put into words why I don’t enjoy watching adaptations of manga/LNs that I’ve read. Baring some exceptions, I always feel like the adaptation doesn’t really add much compared to the source material and in many cases it detracts from it, skipping scenes for the sake of pacing or just being badly animated because of budget/timing constrains.

I might not be using GNOME any more but there is one design philosophy it pushed that stuck with me and I employ it now on all other DEs - fuck desktop icons! They lead to nothing but clutter, much better to have all of your folders neatly organised inside of your /home than plastered all across your desktop space.

Me and Tux

Save and exit to desktop straight away with no going back to the main menu before. I’m looking at you Dark Souls series! It’s like the developers have never used a computer for anything not related to writing code before.

Very excited for more Re:Zero! Still can’t believe we’re getting it so soon (April 2026), I was expecting a similar wait to what we got between season 2 and 3.

TBH if the person has a laptop I don’t blame them. Those can be an absolute hell to wrangle into giving you access to the boot menu. Some won’t even let you select the boot device and require that you edit the boot order from BIOS instead! You also might have to disable secure boot if your distro of choice doesn’t support it - and I bet even with Windows 11 requiring it 95% of people have no idea that it even exists as an option.

Been excitedly waiting for this since they announced they are working on it, the game was engaging enough I trudged through it years ago even with my vehement hatred of RTwP. I enjoyed my time with PoE 2 a lot more thanks to it’s turn based mode despite it’s somewhat flawed implementation, hearing that they learned from that and are addressing the issues with it makes me even more excited to replay it (I kinda hope they go back and retouch PoE 2’s turn based mode as well)!

We got confirmation that the house protector monster is the family dog! Kinda wholesome it stuck around to keep the house safe. Speaking of wholesome, the black suited gentleman are surprisingly nice, helping Miko with tests, pointing out lost objects and even helping return lost pets! It was really cute how Miko paid them back for their service with snacks, although it sure seems like her dad should notice something is amiss with her leaving obvious offerings to a bunch of ghosts. Is this the moment he learns she can see things or did he know all this time and simply went along with it because it’s what Miko was doing?

Clicked for the anime girl, stayed for the incredibly fluffy wolves.

Back when I lived with my parents our neighbour had a really friendly husky that was so eager for people to pet him he would lean against the fence and push his floof through it whenever someone passed by. I miss that goofball.

Would jury-rigging Wraithguard be booting a live USB and trying to fix the system yourself?

Just because Brave comes out as “the best” on privacy tests doesn’t mean it’s worth it to support a commercial browser that pushes AI, cryptocurrencies, that blocks ads while replacing them with their own locked behind their system that they get a cut from, that added their referral links to websites you visited and only removed them after severe backlash, whose CEO is a notorious homophobe that donated 1000$ to a campaign aiming to ban gay marriage rights in California. Zorin might claim they chose it based on merit and remove a lot of these features from it but they still push people to use it and increase its market share.

The fact that they default to Brave Browser already makes me wary. I have plenty of issues with Mozilla myself, especially their recent trend of integrating AI into the browser but I would rather use a fork or even vanilla Chromium rather than Brave. I know it’s just the default and you can switch easily but the fact they landed on THAT out of all available options doesn’t give me confidence, I would go with Mint instead.

As others have mentioned, this definitely sound like the partition is being mounted by your desktop environment instead of your system. You can either add it manually by editing /etc/fstab or use the Disks program (think it’s Gparted?) that I’m pretty sure Mint ships with, select your drive then your partition and click on the cogs to edit mount options (you might have to unmount it first). Deselect Automatic Mount if it’s enabled, make sure mount at startup is enabled and check if the mount point points to a correct path, clicking OK should add the entry into your fstab, you can check if it’s there with “cat /etc/fstab” in your terminal.

They made an entire game centred around this concept and why it doesn’t work the way they want it to (it’s also a dang good game in general and perfect pick for Spooktober).

Thanks for posting your art on the Fediverse, I always look forward to seeing your comics here. Congratulations on the marriage!

Steam specifically designed the system to make it easier for developers to handle pricing for multiple regions, and in their SteamWorks documentation on pricing for developers in the Regional Pricing Recommendations section they say:

“All of these factors have driven us towards the commitment to refresh these price suggestions on a much more regular cadence, so that we’re keeping pace with economic changes over time.”

yet their suggested pricing has not changed since the program was introduced in 2022. If they don’t want to commit to keeping the pricing up to date, as they themselves promise, then retire the program and make publishers set the price themselves on every game.

I don’t really care what they do, I just want them to do ANYTHING. Either update the regional pricing more regularly or just get rid of the damned thing and let me pay in USD/EUR. There are some rare publishers that will actually go out of their way to manually set the regional pricing to make it reasonable but most of them just follow the default suggested Steam one leading to massively overpriced games. I’m Polish and at this point I only buy games on sales, the final price still often comes close to what the game would cost me in USD/EUR without any sale.

Edit: Valve themselves specifically says in their SteamWorks documentation on pricing for developers

All of these factors have driven us towards the commitment to refresh these price suggestions on a much more regular cadence, so that we’re keeping pace with economic changes over time.

and yet the prices remain the exact same since they introduced the Regional Pricing Recommendations in 2022.
