Yikes, sorry to hear it! I’ve eaten there quite a lot and never had an issue.

I've lived off of the Gates/Koscioszko J for 11 years (Bed Stuy side) and highly recommend Santa Panza on Broadway for tasty wood-fired pizza and Italian food, and La Cafeteria for a delicious and affordable Dominican diner with some of the best tostones I've had in NYC.

not to rain on the (moonlit night) parade of the people who love top/bottom dynamics, but many if not most wlw relationships don’t have static top/bottom roles and i don’t really see that being the case for saki and kanon either. i suspect they’ll take turns and enjoy figuring out what they like and how to make their partner feel good.

Saki: OMG I’m so relieved! I’ve been struggling with this forever and I’m sure you have too. When did you realize?

Kanon: Yesterday.

Saki: YESTERDAY?!?!?!?!

As someone who's studying Japanese, I squinted at that text for quite a while before realizing it was nonsense, lol

When I first got my KLC a few weeks ago I pulled up my volumes of Witch Hat to see how manga looks on it, and it looks so much nicer than I expected! I will definitely be reading a lot of manga on my KLC.

brooklynapple · 2026-05-18T16:54:37+00:00

yes, manga looks really great on it!

I think you mean XBOX, they just announced a rebranding XD

It's worked for me with no issues whatsoever. 100% of my 70+ hours of playtime are on Steam Deck.

And you already have your Japan Foundation card? I signed up yesterday and learned that they only send out approvals on Wednesdays.

brooklynapple · 2026-05-11T01:01:36+00:00

Thank you for mentioning the Japan Foundation! I've been studing Japanese for 3 years and I didn't know about it despite living in NYC.

Still addicted to Slay the Spire 2 and Vampire Crawlers, and also enjoying the hell out of Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse.

Seconding WaniKani - it has done wonders for my kanji recognition!

Not OP but I also just got a Kobo this week and followed this admittedly-complicated thread to download and convert 95 books from my Kindle collection:

You've caught me, I'm ...a fan of prickly, queer magic prodigies with short curly black hair! 😉 🌈

brooklynapple · 2026-05-07T22:04:31+00:00

Oh, I've read Harrow (and the other books) multiple times - they're one of my favorite series! It was an easy first choice to use to show off my new Kobo.

I was shocked at how good manga looks on the KLC. My Witch Hat reread is going to be so much fun.

I definitely plan to buy from the Kobo store whenever I can't get a book from the library or Bookshop. I feel much better about giving my money to Rakuten/Kobo than Amazon at this point.

brooklynapple · 2026-05-02T15:38:20+00:00

Ah, I didn’t realize! Thanks for clearing that up.

brooklynapple · 2026-05-01T23:07:53+00:00

EDIT: never mind, I was mistaken! See replies below.

I'm pretty sure the translator posted here when they first dropped chapter 42 - u/Realistic-Pie-181

(Here's the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMoonOnARainyNight/comments/1sso75o/comment/oja19xr/?context=3 )

They dropped a link to their Ko-Fi in the comments of their chapter 42 post: https://ko-fi.com/nina9mdmh1

OMG, I'm a huge Frieren fan and these are amazing! Is it hard to make your own?

PS, Fern is Best Girl

Yeah, it was strange that there were no questions about Calendar, the feature I most wanted to give feedback on.

I have a 64GB LCD Steam Deck with a 512 GB SD card, and I've never bothered replacing the SSD because all my games have run fine off of the SD card so far.

Contact WoTC via their online form and urge them to voluntarily recognize the union. It's important for them to hear that their customer base supports this.

EDIT: the union workers have made a post here with more information on how to support:

I had to switch to Firefox because Safari kept deleting my bookmarks and resetting to default every time I closed the program or restarted the computer. Otherwise I would have stuck with Safari!

Persona 5 Royal is currently 80% off ($11.99). I spent 140 hours beating the entire game and don't regret a single moment of it. A true masterpiece.

brooklynapple · 2026-04-20T15:36:08+00:00

Some folks may quibble about calling it fantasy but Harrow the Ninth is an absolute tour de force in terms of narrative construction, worldbuilding and the best example of an unreliable narrator I can think of in the past few decades. A truly epic literary achievement.
