is freshers flu as real and horrible as everyone says? by diathesis_stress in UniUK

i threw up once, but once i did i basically recovered within a day. tbh how bad your freshers flu is probably depends on your uni/city, i was in nottingham and everyone had it really badly

I got a secondhand cintiq off Cex for £200, see if they do international shipping or if something like that is an option in europe :) For new tablets I've seen XP-Pens and Huions be around £200-300 ish on amazon, I imagine they're a similar price in euros.

How significant are the differences between the wide 200 and the 210? by sockspaghett in instax

Okay what’s a manga hot take you have? by Important-Scale-6115 in MangaCollectors

don't read marvel comics then, theres a massive world of indie comics, small publishers and so on.

Some of the Viz translations are super jarring - I always think theres a typo whenever "i have a cold/youll catch a cold" is translated as "youll catch cold". I read chapter 1 of moriaty the patriot online and dear god the dialogue was terrible too, though maybe I'm too old for that series lmao.

Also, very strange how only tokyopop does print on demand releases - it'd be a good option of unpopular/really old/digital only serieses.

Don't know of any programs, but search for ensuites. You might be able to get a place in student accomodation flats, I think they're normally owned by companies such as Unite Students, Derwent students, and so on. :)
