Things have gotten so deliciously muddy that something's gotta give soon.

Unfortunately not open source from what I can see, at least not yet.

I deleted my decades old IMDb account recently and migrated here. Meager protest against Amazon, I know, but tmdb is definitely good enough. Don't miss a thang.

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

Also new is the NVidia tool PenguinBurner, which can now also auto scan for most optimal undervolts instead of just importing an Afterburner undervolt profile from Windows.

No enshittification. You can trust it to get better in the long run.

There's a really nice TMDb compatible Android app called ShowCase, btw.

Perfect, I prefer this myself too :D

Well, I've seen it first-hand. The irc server cluster I've been uninterrupted on since the early 00's has dwindled from 25-ish to 2. I think the userbase has shrunk from tens of thousands to a couple hundred. We might as well pretend IRC no longer exists. Do wish that it would.

Based on the reaction it feels like the emotional distance between the new family members is pretty huge in that house. It's like neither know what to expect from each other.

Yeah, I didn't take it so much as jealousy yet, more as shock and surprise, combined with the ideas that Shun's let loose so quickly, and that she doesn't actually know him so well after all.

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.

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!

Yeah, Koyun can't even begin to wrap her head around as to why Minato would even try to approach her. It simply all seems fishy to her, lol. That's why Minato is going to have such a hard time doing his usual thing.

It's actually really funny to see Koyun go thru the various alternative behaviours she can think up in real time, trying to see what might work in a particular situation. Nothing comes naturally any more since she's shut herself out. And yet she's completely natural with Youta already, so it isn't that she can't - she's just overthinking everything.

I think the way you framed the characters is really good, it's as if they all have something the others don't. Youta has his issues, too, but we just haven't seem them yet :)

Yeah the lack of alternatives is real in many places around the world. A lot of it is just terrifying, dizzying monopolization. I don't luckily have that issue, but it is undeniable.

I use ProtonPlus for updates. It be nice. Dev promised background updates soon, too.

Amazon already knows everything about you from your buying habits, down to menstrual cycles and toilet cleaning. What's your favourite films on top of it?

(I hate Amazon, finally deleted my decades old IMDb account a while back. Now if only I could rid myself of Amazon... They've not fulfilled a single order for me correctly since 2020 so it's not even the ease that counts any more... One day!)

You're not wrong. He's got socializing down to a T as an art form, but doesn't have anything going on inside, so it creates these problems for him. People clearly assume that he's deeper than he is, and are disappointed to find out.

I saw another commenter note that all the while he was bombarding Koyun with questions, we don't actually know the first thing about his interests and hobbies. Makes sense to just assume he doesn't have any?

That said, I don't think he's irredeemable because of the interaction with Miki. It's not that he was completely in the wrong with Koyun, either, he couldn't possibly know how deep her anxieties go. Only the viewers have had access to her insecurities so far, so the blow-up was at the very least unexpected if not unwarranted. Can't wait for the next episode!

Woo! Season 2 in the summer. See you then!

The effects are kinda bizarre, btw :D
