I'm a long time Mint user. My Mint laptop is my daily drive and it served me well even with my not IT related job during the pandemic home office days.

And it's a 2nd gen i5 with 8 gb memory, it handled like a champ for 3d mechanical design.

A Place Further Than The Universe is one of the most visually stunning shows for me. Its backgrounds are amazing. I should rewatch it soon.

School Live! is good, I liked it a lot. If anything, go watch it without reading any review or summary.

I'd just walk away from Omelas.

I used irc back in the day, from 98 to 2007/8. It was great and I made several friends that I still talk to today. There's were i started pirating stuff, mostly books for university.

Sadly, the server we were at closed, and the other some of us migrated to closed a few years later 😢 I find it quite difficult to chat in English, so I rarely log into irc nowadays.
