Thanks for trying. I tried jisho.org and translate.google.com before asking and struck out on both myself.

I used to be on kbin as e0qdk@kbin.social before it broke down.

What does ぽやぽや mean?
Oh, I remember playing Iji! I think that was the first game I played that noticed and reacted if you tried to play as a pacifist. There was at least one unavoidable boss fight when I played it though, as I recall.
Digging back through my old disks, it looks like I actually still have my copy from 2008 (version 1.2, according to the manual.txt file) as well as a saved game from much later when I replayed it in February 2013. That was a while ago!
You added a rainbow!
!animepics@reddthat.com – people mostly post fan art these days, but discussion of anything anime-adjacent (anime/manga/VN/hentai/etc.) is explicitly allowed too. In the past I’ve posted amusing/interesting stills from shows I was watching, custom image composites, screenshot comics, and things like that.
!anime_irl@ani.social – “A community for sharing relatable real-life situations depicted in anime.”
Huh. I recognize this one. I didn’t know who the artist was, but I’ve apparently seen a bunch of their work before attached to various songs that YouTube auto-played for me a few years ago.
Thanks for linking this!
A few off the top of my head: Shirobako. Space Dandy. Samurai Champloo. Ghost in the Shell: SAC.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever fallen in love with a completely imaginary dream person, but I did dream about my ex once years and years after we broke up. I don’t remember what I dreamed about exactly, but I do remember waking from it. The happiness fading as the realization set in that it was all a dream – I was by myself in bed and none of it had been real. I’m usually pretty good at dealing with solitude, but that moment… that was the most intense loneliness I think I’ve ever felt.
Wow, that’s surprisingly quick turnaround!
I thought SpaceX was grounded. Were they really cleared to start launching again already?
I wrote something like this before for academic researchers to load data sets on display walls by using their cellphones. I approached it by building a simple website. When the user logs in, they’d see a table of entries (from a directory listing on a shared file server that they could drop their data sets onto) and could click a button that made a form post to the server which caused it to run whichever programs were needed to load the data set they wanted (or run a couple of other handy commands – like turning the monitors on/off, etc).
You can do something like that too in Python if you want:
subprocess
library. If you know how to launch the programs you want from the command line, it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out how to do it from Python by reading the documentation. It will take some more effort to figure out how to interact with it (e.g. to stop it from user input) without blocking your script, but this can be done.localhost
(possibly plus a port) or from on your LAN by putting the IP of your computer into the address bar.os.listdir
, or something more involved like tracking the entries with a spreadsheet or database or JSON file that lets you associate custom metadata with each entry (like a custom name to show or an icon to display or when it was last launched, etc.)<
into <
that are needed for HTML output and also repeat patterns using entries from lists you provide to build the rows of tables and such for you.Good luck and have fun!

Sorry if this is answered in the video – I have YouTube blocked – does that include PC?
I read part of it, but didn’t finish it. It was pretty heavy on the language learning aspect with integrated lessons and quizzes. I learned enough of the version of Esperanto in the VN (Juliamo) that I could follow along as I was reading it, but it did not stick with me long term. I had to take a break for a couple weeks due to circumstances IRL and I found that I’d pretty much forgotten everything when I tried to come back to it.
I tried booting an old Surface off a USB stick with stock Ubuntu once – probably either 20.04 or 22.04. (I tried this in June 2022 but didn’t make a note of the versions in my journal, unfortunately.) I was able to get it to boot, but I couldn’t get touch/pen controls working so I decided against replacing the OS. I didn’t have enough enthusiasm to bother experimenting with it further – I assume it probably needed the custom kernel.
You might find writing guides relevant to your interests. For example, “How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy” by Orson Scott Card contains some details about how the author came to write Hart’s Hope and other novels. “Scene & Structure” by Jack Bickham might also be interesting – I don’t remember discussion of specific books in it, but it might scratch a similar itch for how-it’s-made style content.
Some books also contain introductions/forewords/afterwords with details about how the book was written. A bunch of OSC’s novels (like some editions of Ender’s Game) come to mind specifically – I read those back when I was curious about maybe trying to become a writer, so that’s the most prominent example in my mind, but I’m sure there are others. I’ve also seen translations of a number of works where the translators include really long introductions explaining some of their choices – and sometimes criticize earlier translations.
I can read most of the text, but I don’t understand what is meant by 髪結い version. It translates as hairdresser, but I don’t get it. (Is this a stereotype I just don’t know about, maybe?)
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz FYI your danbooru link doesn’t match the image from catbox.
I don’t know what other systems do, but text-to-speech on my computer reads it as “with a shirt that says (pause) emo skull (pause) the dialogue reads…”
