Reinhard and Kircheis in warm yellow orange foregrounding the image, with their ships in the background. They are back-to-back, facing away from each other though Kircheis is glancing backwards at Reinhard.
Yang and Frederica on the foreground, in blue, with their ship in the background. Frederica's body is angled towards Yang, with Yang facing the "viewer", body slightly angled towards Frederica. He is touching his beret.
@geraineon I'm so tempted too, and I technically took french in school so I could justify it 
(already has the English physicals)
@geraineon posted about this on their account on priv but can't hurt to share:
Legend of Galactic Heroes is getting a new gorgeous edition in French from Mahô Éditions:
"This new French edition will offer the series in light novel format, illustrated by the Japanese artist @t0mat0juice , whose style pays homage to the original work while giving it a fresh visual identity. The French edition will be offered in a double format, for a total of 7 volumes."

No release date either! Some people have said that they restarted development, which I can believe since they didn't show anything for such a long time.
Looks like they gave up on the earlier "Flames of Fate" darker concept for DQ12...

@arimamary I vaguely remember searching for this post when we were talking about SSGs, I finally found it lol
I've decided to start linkblogging on my main when I find an interesting article or blog post
🔗 https://kristoff.it/blog/static-site-paradox/
This was one of the most memorable blog posts I read, that really got me thinking about how I wanted to structure my own blog. It really inspired me to research how static sites worked, and if I could set up an SSG too.

From LB: "In ten days last month, the Wikimedia Foundation fired the longtime lead developer of MediaWiki and disbanded the team whose entire job was to listen to volunteers. Most of the people they fired were union organizers. Wikipedia’s editors are now threatening to strike.... The Foundation has spent twenty years telling donors it is not like other tech companies. The union drive is the moment when that claim either becomes true or admits it was always marketing." https://medium.com/@jakeorlowitz/wikipedia-is-doing-the-capitalist-thing-56a393232943

Thank you EVERYONE who came to see me at Manga Ichiba! Friends and folks I've seen at other events I've been a part of-- it all means so much to me to see how wide of a support group I have!! I know I'm not alone in my art adventure but it's easy to forget since the things I make are mostly for myself. My doujinshi is a silly little thing that I didn't expect to really have appeal but you sure showed me what's up!!
I'm so happy I could bring something to the table that lots of people enjoyed.
@Hika congrats! That's still a big accomplishment, especially with original stuff. Will you have leftovers on your shop?
I was trying to figure out a way to add/browse Readeck articles from my Kobo without displacing my existing Instapaper account, and I found a method!
I created a custom e-ink friendly OPDS browser-website:
a screenshot of the simple black and white site with the same two articles in a collection
a screenshot of the readeck site with two articles in a collection
Just learned about MCE Printing, a print shop specializing in doujinshi! They offer B5 and A5 printing among many others and I'm very excited to try them out!!! mceprinting.com
MCE Printing | Premium Doujins...
mceprinting.com
Kirkland's trusted commercial print shop and a premier national printer for custom doujinshi, manga, light novels, saddle stitch books, and art prints.
I thought getting a VPS would be too expensive or not worth it, but I've got sooo many projects setup now that make my life better.
I just went through and archived all the fanfics I'd be sad about not getting to read anymore. As always, I've given myself too much power lol.
Readeck has really nice tagging and collections abilities, so once you setup a collection with a specific set of tags, it will auto-update the collection!
@geraineon thanks for linking the article! It's an interesting read, despite its inaccuracies lol.
I think the author is getting at something that feels real though, which is that light novels (CJK) feel fresh, entertaining, and expansive compared to western fiction right now.
I think they could have pushed this thinking a little further, since the popularity of Romantasy (booktok adjacent) and gamelit/progression fantasy like Dungeon Crawler Carl are meeting the same fundamental need or "reading pleasure" as this author calls it.
Royal Road/Kindle Unlimited is sort of functioning in the same manner as Korean free chapters/paid chapters model.
In the interest of saving things before they disappear, I decided to self-host #Readeck, which is a bookmark/read-it-later application with archiving capabilities.
Probably not going to replace Instapaper with it since I have some automations setup, but it has an excellent archiving ability that works with a browser extension
Shard of Nightmare (2025)
Illustration of Link from Legend of Zelda holding a piece of a mirror shard in his left hand. Rain has pour down around him. The shard contains his left hand with a triforce tattoo with the bottom right triangle glowing in the dark. In front of the hand is a shadowy figure resembling Link with flaming eyes and a smile contrasting the silhouette.
I'm sure it's going to be super busy during Anime Expo though, probably not going to go then lol
I'm definitely going to this, it looks so fun!

@anime yeah I could maybe struggle through a short story, but reading an entire novel is too much brain power for me, especially since I would be looking up words every sentence haha
I got tired of waiting for a re-license or continuation of Dawn of the Mapmaker / Tsukumo no Reimei (it's been years) so I bought the jp books to MTL.
Wish me luck I guess lol.
The world's first Fedify book, Practical Fedify: Introduction to ActivityPub Microblog Development (実践Fedify——ActivityPubマイクロブログ開発入門), has been published in Japan. This is also the first book I have ever published, and it feels quite surreal that my first book is in Japanese rather than my native language, Korean. This book is an expanded version based on the official English Fedify tutorial, Creating your own federated microblog, with various additions. Yumetsuki Mama (ゆめつきママ) worked on the cute book cover illustration, which features the Fedify dinosaur mascot, Misskey's mascot Ai-chan, and the Mastodon mascot together. It is scheduled to be published in both e-book and print formats on the 22nd by Impress NextPublishing. See also the Amazon Japan.

Ai-chan, Misskey's cat-eared mascot in a sailor uniform, jumps and points upward above Fedify's blue dinosaur mascot and Mastodon's small golden mascot, with colorful stars and geometric shapes scattered around.

I ordered books from Merry Manga Co. on April 24th and they said it would take 3 weeks for backordered books.
They still haven't shipped them out yet 
I'm gonna give it one more week before contacting them since Lord of Mysteries released on the 12th, but not sure if I would order from them again if it takes this long without any updates
@arimamary it's honestly a lot of work to add them, so you quickly learn to only do the ones you really like lol
I found these here: https://www.sigstick.com/pack/QkDGXfpzX5CJo2Mgxle5-one-piece-animated-emoji
These are actually stickers meant for messaging apps, but I manually saved them and uploaded them as emojis
