  • 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.





  • Man, that video was so good.
    Several parts had me dying. The way he described “Protocol: Rain” was so goddamn funny, because the show takes itself really serious in the dumb way where you just think “Dude, you’re just playing a video game.” At one point, the protagonist genuinely says, he has never “truly stopped” playing the game, he always played it “in his head” and that’s why he’s not rusty…



  • 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.

    finally a decent use of this dumbass meme format.

    I hate how the majority of the time this is used, it can be summed up with “girls boring, boys fun haha”.
    Thought we left that sorta thinking behind in elementary school?
    Anyway, fuck gender stereotypes, we’re all just humans trying to wing it.

    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.
