Same, the only thing talkings to the internet are my reverse proxy and the security cameras (only when viewing them from outside the local network, quite like what reolink does there)

Note: Moldova also has a bit of a infestation going on, might be interesting to see the Moldovan data split by region. I have a sneaking suspicion that the parts "influenced" by a certain Eurasian autocracy are mostly to blame for the increase

Manchmal kann man nur den Kopf schütteln...

Between this and infinity nikki actively blocking non SteamDeck devices I have a feeling that Valve will bring the hammer down on this sometime soon.

When people buy a game, the store front says it should run and then it doesn't they're not going to yell at the developers. They're going to yell at the store and I doubt Valve wants to bother with the extra support workload that entails.

Can't escape the hipswing allegations now

That is absolutely true and will likely be why this ends up being the one slow roll romance novel I don't end up dropping. Too many others are just forever stuck in the relationship twilight zone where they're a couple but not actually doing anything with it so the author needs a new source of drama every volume to keep readers from realizing that their relationship is not progressing at all.

The Angel Next Door Spoils me Rotten Vol. 5

Well not like anything ever happens in this story. Just more undiluted sugar straight to the veins.

The 14th gen didn't only have problems with Linux and I still don't trust Intel when they say they "fixed" the CPUs disassembling themselves. Given the money involved I'd definitely advise against 13th and 14th gen Intel in any case, just not worth the potential headache down the road. Either go with older Intel or AMD.

Is It Wrong to Try To Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Vol. 18

Rating: 11/10 Definitely not biased since this is certainly not my favourite series ever. Nope not at all.

Obligatory curse the editor for forcing this highly misleading title. Obligatory curse the author for introducing plot conveniences just to forbid us from enjoying more sugary Bell x Aiz scenes. I want more stuff like their dance.

That aside I'm not the biggest fan of the familia conflicts, I just wanna see my boy Bell survive some dungeon adventures. Not that the familia conflicts are badly written, I just don't really get the same enjoyment reading them. The volume was iirc the longest we have got so far which was kind of needed, imo there wasn't really a good spot where the story could have been split cleanly into two volumes. There are a lot of "side" stories going on with Bell taking a bit of a step back for the first half of the story. Despite not going where I initially thought it was going the Freya arc was sort of neatly resolved, the outcome is just a bit unexpected. The climax fight against Ottar feels a bit weird, I would have liked to see Bell dominate a bit more in his first challenge as a Level 5 but the story doesn't allow for an "easy" fight right now and having Ottar be an obstacle far more insurmountable than anything before feels fitting. Unsurprisingly Haruhiume's level boost comes in clutch to win that fight along with a very brief glimpse at just what it means for Bell to only ever level up with S and upwards stats. 2 Levels difference should be an insurmountable difference yet Bell managed to narrow it down to a surmountable one with his stats accumulation.

That's that regarding the plot of the volume, I want to use the end of this "review" to mourn every Bell x anyone-but-aiz shippers some of whose ships were sunk with multiple broadsides by Bell refusing both Syr and Lyon's confessions. Poor Syr, she even got rejected twice. Lyon also joins Hestia familia as their first and for now only Level 6 adventurer. Bell's insane growth continues to force additions to the familia with higher Levels since no one can even hope to keep up with his desire to stand next to his crush. With the distractions out of the way I hope the way is finally paved for an unfolding of the long teased Bell x Aiz ship. Surely the author won't throw us another curveball. Right? Right??

starts reading Volume 19 Oh ffs...... I just want my ship to set sail already.

How anyone in leadership gave the OK for a connector this asinine is beyond me. That's, on a technical level, a very real fire hazard

The Eminence in Shadow Volume 6 Honestly not much to say here, if you liked the story up to this point you'll love this as it's just more of the good stuff. We also get more glimpses into the Cult vs Shadow Garden allegiances forming in the Midgard kingdom and hints at an upcoming country scale conflict in which Cid will surely be yet again an unassuming background character.

Also we get to see more of Akane who might just be the first non Shadow Garden member to figure out the link between Cid and Shadow. She's pretty close to getting there since she's almost linked shadow to his Japanese identity.
