This is the only Japanese LN that I've read, I'm otherwise mainly a manga reader. It kept popping up in my recommendations on MyAnimeList, and I was intrigued by the synopsis with the presence of the "romance" tag:

Kazuki Hoshino values his everyday life above all else. He spends the days carefree with his friends at school, until the uneventful bliss suddenly comes to a halt with the transfer of the aloof beauty Aya Otonashi into his class and her cold, dramatic statement to him immediately upon arrival:

"I'm here to break you. This is the 13,118th time I've transferred. After so many occasions, I have to say that this is all starting to grate on me, which is why this time I'm spicing things up with a proper declaration of war."

And with those puzzling words, the ordinary days that Kazuki loved so dearly become a cycle of turmoil and fear—Aya's sudden appearance signals the unraveling of unseen mysteries surrounding Kazuki's seemingly normal friends, including the discovery of mysterious devices known as "boxes."

I eventually got around to reading it when I'd gotten a craving for the "enemies to lovers" trope. It was quite good overall (I rated it a 9), though it does flirt with what I consider to be cheap rage bait at some points.

There's currently a spam "buy adderall" post on /m/fediverse that's been up for 16 hours now. The magazine has no moderators other than Ernest.

I also remember hearing at some point that kbin.social was being run by some other admins so that Ernest could focus on code, but I don't know who they are. Does anyone else know who we should be pinging for issues like this?

One additional question, is there an issue tracker for problems/requests that are specific to kbin.social, rather than the kbin codebase? It doesn't make sense to fill up the issue tracker on codeberg with "this magazine needs moderators" requests and the like, but we do need somewhere to keep track.

This place is looking a bit dead. It seems like lemmy.world has the most active Bitcoin community, so we should probably consolidate our activity there:

• https://lemmy.world/c/bitcoin
• /c/bitcoin@lemmy.world

This got created on programming.dev about 2 weeks ago, but hasn't had much activity yet. Not too surprising as Nim is a relatively new language. It's super cool and you should check it out, though. It's a compiled language with performance similar to C/C++, but is much more pleasant to work in. Some tend to liken it to working with Python.

Just found a place to post my more risque anime memes. It has a "no genitals" rule, so not for outright porn:

I just made a very large update to the list of specialized instances. It's now about 3 times the size! I normally won't be making new posts here for updates, but this was a really big one:

• The full list of specialized instances
• Just the additions
