Personally tired of hearing about it. I disagree on the morality of this and made an acct on another instance. Can do same with communities on lemmy.world if we could all agree to move to them.

Nothing. Purpose implies the potential for failure and while there are certainly circumstances that I would consider personal failures, there are none so great that they would invalidate my existence.

That said, I have a vision for my life and the state of the world that I would like to see realized. I want to see a world where climate change is taken seriously and recognized as the imminent threat that it is. It will be waiting on the other side of every economic crisis or war that man chooses to wage.

Is that what everyone is worried about? I’m more worried about the IPs getting turned into something bland or botched releases due to overly aggressive deadlines. Examples being bioware, bungie, infinity ward, and obsidian which were all acquired by larger companies and as a result turned into “meat grinders” responsible only for churning out titles to feed their parent companies.

Before anyone else mentions it, I will say Insomniac has been a success under Sony — releasing spiderman and ratchet and clank. That said, a company is not a person. You cannot trust companies to behave consistently.

Same. Dark souls, bloodborne, sekiro, and elden ring are my favorite games of all time. Rest of the world is going to shit. Seems like we just can’t have nice things.

Check Etsy. Can find some high quality buttons there too usually priced a lot better. Usually some combination of 3D-Printed and silicone-cast resin so lots of glossy options but I have seen matte ones as well. $20-30 range (USD)

Yeah. Komga + Komf seems like overkill for your use case too. Komf would definitely get around the limitation of english editions only.

Readarr can track comics/manga too but unless you’re interested in only indexing by author I have found it less than ideal.

Tachidesk or sorayomi or whatever they are calling it now may be an option? Like the other tools I have mentioned it’s primary function is for piracy but I don’t see why you couldn’t just add sources and add series to library without downloading. Again would need dummy files to track owned vs unowned.

I use Komga + Komf for digitals but seems like you could do simply with mylar without a download agent. Might need to create a dummy file for each issue you own to change status to owned. Been ages since I have used so not sure.
