Basically, Hidive is only available in English speaking countries. That is a lot of territories to cut, and will push more people to sail the seven seas.

This is an email sent to customers outside the territories mentioned.

Thank you for contacting HIDIVE!
We apologize for the inconvenience!
The announcement about our leaving service is for most non-English speaking countries on 12/14/2023.
After that date, our service will be available in the following countries: United States, Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom and Australia.
Let us know if you have any questions!

@chikorita157 so, what you're telling me is that piracy again is the best way to watch those series.

I have to admit, I’m not too surprised by this at all.

I guess no more private groups on Twitter anymore. I wonder, when will Mastodon wil implement actual federated groups, which can provide the Circle-like feature, but on the Fediverse. :neocat_think:

Just looking at the prices for used DS or 3DS games is a good way to feel sick.

Hey dudes! What are your favourite short books?

I’ve tackled an alarming number of long, complicated books this year, so need some short ones to stand a chance of hitting my reading goal.

Soziales Netzwerk Bluesky - eine echte Alternative zu X?

Die Plattform Bluesky könnte eine Alternative sein zum Kurznachrichten-Dienst X, der seit der Übernahme durch Elon Musk Nutzer verliert. Welche Erfolgschancen hat das neue Netzwerk? Von David Zajonz.

@tagesschau Bluesky wird genau die gleichen Fehler wiederholen, die bei sämtlichen Plattformen, die Milliardären und Investoren gehören, aufgetreten sind.

Bald wird Bluesky alles dran setzen, Geld zu machen und ähnliche anti-Nutzer-Politiken unsetzen, wie einst Twitter.

Manga service Azuki apparently set up its own Mastodon server in the fediverse, well just yesterday.

@chikorita157 @dopey_kun @mdmrn I used it for a month decent, but not interesting enough series to hold my interest.

Well, look at that, @Azuki is now on mastodon! Welcome!

I just officially DNFed This is how you loose the time war. I found it to be tedious, boring and irritating. I don't like the characters, the voices, the plot or the letters. I know many people really like it, but after 80 pages, I had to give up.

@coffeentacos oh I am so happy I am not alone with this opinion. It has an average rating of four stars on storygraph and now I wonder how many who did not like it DNFed it and did not rate it...

It's going to be a couple of very interesting days for Mastodon.

@weebdeluxe@urusai.social avatar

@mdmrn The 1 Dollar per month thing and that they might close down for Europe should be enough for more people signing up.

weebdeluxe,
@weebdeluxe@urusai.social avatar

@mdmrn I think if Europe has no access to X, we will at the very least see a greater influx of German users, as Mastodon is kinda well known there.

chikorita157, to twitter
@chikorita157@sakurajima.moe avatar

It looks like Elon might pull the plug on Twitter at least in the EU. It looks like he doesn't want to deal with the DSA, especially in regards to misinformation.

Time to prepare for another possible wave of new users, soon.

@CommonMugwort @bookstodon Ah, totally forgot about audiobooks! I guess that would be hard to tally?

@ukaunz @bookstodon 20 pages is a great middle ground I think? It sure has helped me to read regularly.

@weebdeluxe@urusai.social avatar

@jbjarnstedt @bookstodon I consider both to be equal.

@weebdeluxe@urusai.social avatar

@econads @bookstodon Your remarks are completely valid. I asked the question out of pure interest and because for a long time, I always felt like I did not read enough. I personally think that any amount is fine, since everyone is different.

@yon @bookstodon I also never saw the movie, though I try to avoid Stephen King adaptations overall.

@weebdeluxe@urusai.social avatar

I love the vibe, setting and action of Fist of the North Star.

I don't love the chauvinist bullshit going on in it though.

Reading that series for the first time can be a bit of a struggle in the year 2023.

@weebdeluxe@urusai.social avatar

A couple of things that would make me happy if they were in the upcoming Nintendo Direct:

  • Any news of Metroid Prime 4.
  • A remaster of Samus Returns.
  • A rerelease of Pandora's Tower and The Last Story.
  • Chrono Trigger coming to Switch.
  • Shadowhearts coming to Switch.
  • Rereleases of Fatal Frame/Project Zero 1-3.

Considering how small my wishlist for that console got, I'm already happy with it's lifecycle as it stands.

I present to you: my September TBR! I think it's pretty reasonable but then again I'm cheating and starting today with Untamed Shore by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Not shown is my digital TBR which consists of Gideon the Ninth of which I have read three quarters already.

Really looking forward to Pet Semetary by Stephen King. Heard very good things about Pachinko but the size scares me a bit.
