    One of my favorite manga series is an old one: Angel Densetsu, a comedy series by the creator of Claymore. The main character is by far the nicest person you'd ever encounter and is also the innocent type that's absolutely clueless about life and people, but has a terribly scary looking face that is typically said to look like a demon. This leads to a host of misunderstandings where in the first day of his high school he accidentally ends up taking over as the boss of the main delinquent gang in the school (which of course he never realizes), and it just escalates from there. This kind of comedy is probably not for everybody but if you enjoy silly misunderstanding-powered comedy this might be for you. This has a bonus of being completed, 15 volumes.

    There is an incomplete anime adaptation out there that can be ignored, go straight for the manga.

    These sound like they have the competence of the average robber bad guy from a kid's comedy movie, let's send Kevin Macallister or the baby from Baby's Day Out at them, that should be more than enough

    From what I've seen about this this morning, looks like they're kicking out 5 with less than 100 followers, while the literal dozens that remain and actually make them money with the bulk of followers will happily remain. This is nothing more than empty posturing, and is in fact a declaration, "We WANT to continue being the Nazi bar, they're some of our best customers!"

    I appreciate the thought and work that has gone into this, but heavily lament that it's likely getting locked into the Google walled gardens and maybe even under patents instead of being shared with the world for everybody to benefit, doubly painful as I've been slooooowly trying to extricate myself from everything Google

    Some months ago got a Steam Deck and have slowly started to play all those games in my library i haven't touched since acquired.

    Some highlights from somebody who's now firmly a casual (long past are my days of hardcore gamer):

    • A Hat in Time is super charming, although the platforming can be rather hard at some points, i wish any super-hard parts in games were set as optional behind achievements or whatever, just for us casuals. Need to get to the DLCs although i understand they're less fun, no idea
    • The Shantae games are all fun in their own ways, and i fully thank them for creating a dedicated casual difficulty level on the latest one, would have been thankful for that on the previous ones
    • Cloudpunk is just great, need to play it more
    • Currently tackling all the Castlevania games post Symphony (all Metroidvanias i believe). Will have to resort to emulation past the Advance Collection because Konami is ruled by idiots, but oh well. There's also the Lords of Shadow games that are almost a completely different franchise, will get to them in time.

    I'm going very slow since i only play when i can, so i guess in a few years i'll be done with my backlog! Yay!

    Considering there's a crossover, is there a best watch order with those two? Or just "Meh, watch first one then the other"?

    It's individual servers due to a global vulnerability, this seems to be the right issue, the attacker cannot compromise all Lemmy (Federation helps in cases like this after all) but can compromise any instance they want until patched.
