Kyoukai no Kanata ED drops even more powerfully in the film version.

At least she has a unique (for now) movement speed passive.

Yup, it’s a much welcome respite, but I’ll spend all of it farming upgrades for my core units because I don’t trust Hoyo to not pull another 3.7 on us soon. Won’t hurt to be fully prepared.

It was more of a travel segment skip than a timeskip really, the year advanced by one which could mean only a month or two passed, and they had to cross half the world.

Lovely show so far, but I’ll be a bit disappointed if Miyo never develops any supernatural powers. Her being talentless was an important initial plot device, but now it’s been cashed in so I hope she gets a magic of her own to match her fiance and archrival.

What exactly are we looking at here?

Are you hopping between DEs?

Hu Tao’s looks scary.

I’m having a good time even on an 11th gen mobile Intel processor with its iGPU. For more demanding games I use FSR to get much more bang for buck from the iGPU, on Linux it’s pretty easy to activate in almost any game. On a side note, Waydroid (with libhoudini) also has excellent performance on this setup.

Why not install SteamOS or plain Arch Linux on the GPD devices then?

There are good things to be said about the Ally, but I find the soon-to-be-released GPD handhelds more interesting. Both are officially stated to support SteamOS (which means plain Arch and possibly other distros should also work great) and offer something different from the Deck and Ally in that the GPD Win4 is much more compact, and the GPD Max 2 has a much larger display.

LineageOS is great even without root, but I still recommend using Magisk on it for system-wide ad blocking (via e.g. AdAway) if nothing else.

A banking app may have a simple root check, or a SafetyNet check. You can use shamiko and safetynet-fix respectively to fool these, both have already been linked.

Spy Kyoushitsu 2nd cour. First one was fun, especially in the “manor” arc that concluded it. Other than that, I have high hopes for Zom 100, since it gives off Zombieland Saga vibes and that series had no shortage of great scenes in either season.

I love larger displays. Easy on the eyes, better gaming and video experience. Still, on many newer phones aspect ratio is a problem for me. If the phone’s screen is something like 21:9 then it’s only really big on paper, since videos won’t fit perfectly, and the text and UI elements of games I play would still be pretty small, since they scale with the screen’s height in landscape mode.

It’s mostly torrents that are dangerous without a VPN, since as a torrent user you’re also redistributing the content in question, and the peer-to-peer nature of them makes you very visible to copyright trolls.

Direct download is generally much safer. Specifics vary by jurisdiction, but in many countries merely downloading (or streaming) a pirated copy of a game or film is not a criminal offense, and is not in practice vulnerable to a civil lawsuit either.

Avoid torrents, know good direct download sites (these will vary by what content you’re interested in, look around using various search engines to get around DMCA delistings), use rudimentary privacy protections like private DNS and HTTPS-only mode in your browser, and you’ll get far without a VPN.

Tor is also a powerful, free option, but it’s generally overkill for non-torrent piracy and very hard to configure for torrents.
