I am a huge fan of this manga, having followed it from the very beginning, but was coming in very cold due to the look and feel of the anime not quite matching that of the source material. The main characters are all a little off.

The Klutzy Class Monitor and the Girl with the Short Skirt, for instance, does a great job of translating the look and feel, and this one just doesn’t. The original has an understated look all its own that I’ve not seen elsewhere.

Still, I warmed up enough at the end of the episode that I’ll continue watching, gripes or no gripes. It’s a great series, after all.

Wow, this is great! I’ve seen a bunch of these before but never in a more concerted effort. Looking forward to it.

The last 5 orders that I’ve made - with intermittent attempts at boycotting the store between them - have all had something wrong with them. Amazon literally can no longer fulfill an order completely up to par: There’s always something that you have to refund, resend back or just gripe about. Minor details, big problems, there’s always something.

They’re an “always something” service. Yes, there are products you can’t get elsewhere. Yes, the price is often cheaper. Yes, they’re easier to use than others. But they simply fail at the simple task of actually fulfilling your order more often than not. I’ve stopped thinking about where to move my purchases to simply starting to reconsider whether I need a particular thing in the first place. It’s pretty much the only way you can get off these services :( That, and being infuriated over and over and over again by the inadequacy of the service.

Freedom is my top feeling too! I was so, SO miserable on Windows. Every task felt like a chore. Haven’t felt that way on Bazzite once, even if some things take an extra step here and there!

I am loving, loving KDE and Bazzite. It feels like such a mature operating system compared to ol’ Windows :D

Oh damn, now that you put it in the aether… the signs are there. Hope we’re wrong!

Yeah figured xD

I didn’t much care for the student council focus either. I did like the show up til that point, though, and while I heard there’s going to be more of the council shenanigans in the next season, I’m still going to give it a go. If it’s more of the first half of the season, then might as well watch, and if it’s more of the second half, then it’s a drop.

Same, great update, happened a few times already and I’ve only been on Linux for two months.

One thing I love about swapping OS is that over the past two months, I’ve already seen 10 or so patches to the OS that have legitimately made my experience better. On Windows, everything just got progressively worse with each upgrade. It makes me hopeful for the future instead of despondent!

I’ve definitely seen people do it successfully. Mending Wall exists, too, though I’m not sure if it applies here.

You could go straight for, too, 5 if you like the setting at all compared to the others. There’s a sidequel called New Dawn for 5, too. It’s nice.

Absolutely second Singularity - it’s a game very much in the vein of Half-Life 2 and BioShock. Almost as good, if not quite, but rather quite forgotten. Loved it when it came out.
