  • High School DxD: Volume 1-14

    Recently took the time and actually read the books of this. Obviously the target demographic is horny teenage boys of which only the first part still applies to me but oh well, it’s still a good read anyway, if only because some aspects of the story are just way too funny to my adult brain.

    For a harem series the MC is expectedly dense, although the author does have an explanation ready for that and gives the MC some character development this “early” on into the story, reducing the annoyance of it somewhat. Still even after supposedly overcoming his issues the MC displays a typical lack of self-awareness and a profound ability to not actually do anything lewd while constantly doing lewd things. I find other approaches to avoiding graphic descriptions in the novel preferable to somehow making the audience believe a hormone driven teenager wouldn’t try anything if surrounded by willing girls, but that’s the genre I guess.

    Enjoyable enough to be very good if you like Ecchi Harem stuff, definitely wouldn’t recommend if you don’t

    Last I checked (which was a while ago) “AI” still can’t pass the most basic of tasks such as “show me a blank image”/“show me a pure white image”. the LLM will output the most intense fever dream possible but never a simple rectangle filled with #fff coded pixels. I’m willing to debate the potentials of AI again once they manage to do that without those “benchmarks” getting special attention in the training data.




  • in my experience that usually boils down to the Linux version getting (an understandably) low priority compared to the windows version. Which is something that won’t change until Linux has a significant market share and I can’t fault the devs for it. For an example of a game where that is not the case I’d like to take Factorio, where the devs went out of their way to properly work on the Linux native version and even include Linux/Mac exclusive features for their next update. But that only happened because one of the devs themselves uses Linux.
