Ah fuuuuck,

These loaves are making me mad horny for bread.

How could you do this to me? 🥲

I guess I’ll start…

I have a few stories but I’ll stick to one topic: The White Orb.

Like 8 years ago, I had a unexplained experience at my mom’s house.

It was the middle of the day and me and my partner were at my mother’s house. It was just me and him. We were near the kitchen, sitting on the stools by the island, we were shooting the shit. His line of vision was of me, the dining area and living room and my line of vision was of him and the kitchen.

I remembered I had the sudden urge to turn to face the kitchen, I dunno why but I did and in a split second, I saw a bright white orb appear… it was about the size of a baseball, just floating in mid air. It appeared for a few seconds before blipping out of existence.

I was fucking baffled. I turned immediately to my partner and asked if he saw the white orb and he exclaimed no, but he was clearly confused. He said that that he saw from the corner of his eye, a bright white flash. He described it as if someone had taken a photo of us with the flash on.

To this day, neither of us know what exactly happened.

Weird thing though , this wasn’t the first time I’ve seen a white orb.

I had saw it once as kid, it was the summer before sixth grade. I was riding bikes with my friend at dusk ( this was the late 90s). The street lights were turning on and we knew it was time to head back home. We weren’t that far away, just a few blocks. We were side by side, riding in the middle of the street, with some space in between us… just talking and going at a leisurely pace. And that’s when it happened, a bright white orb zoomed right between us before it disappeared. We both saw it and freaked out. We made a mad dash back home.

I have no idea what the fuck these white orbs were. I’m just glad I wasn’t the only one who saw them.

Loved the graphic novel and had a blast watching Nimona, last night.

My only nitpick was that I wished there was more world building. I wanted to know more about the townsfolk: it was hinted there was a divide between them and the knights (I guess they were the nobility ?), the town itself and if there were actually any other “monsters” out beyond the wall. I guess I wish it was a series rather than a movie.

Since it was a movie and not a series, totally forgivable. One of the best animated movies this year for me. Disney really dropped the ball for not picking up this project, could have been a slam dunk for them. Oh well.

I currently use Seren addon on kodi with real debrid. Works like a charm for movies and tv shows.

I also use the Otaku addon on kodi with real-debrid and Kitsu ( to help keep track of the anime I’m watching and want to watch). This is the best addon for anime on kodi that has worked for me.

With these two addons + real debrid, I feel like I got all my bases covered for entertainment.

Hope this helps.

Man, I thought it was just me. It was driving me bonkers! Thank you sooo much for your informative post. This literally is the first post that I saved on here. Truly ,doing god's work. 🙏

I recommend checking out any of the Boox ereaders, if you’re looking for an ereader android tablet.

I currently use the Boox Nova Air and I love it, to bits! It has a 7.8in screen, that has warm and cool backlighting. It comes with a stylus, so you can take notes, do some journaling or even draw. I use my Nova air, primarily, to read manga on Tachiyomi app.

There is preinstalled app called BOOXDrop that allows you to select files from your computer or phone and send it to your ereader. I’ve used it a few times to put some ebooks in there, it wasn’t too bad.

Since Boox devices are android, you can pretty much download any app on google play store or you can side load any apks.

The apps I have installed on my device are: Tachiyomi, kindle, Libby, GDrive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Pocket, Foxit PDF reader and Firefox. I use to have Apollo app on there, but not anymore.

I also love that I can put any image as my screensaver, so it’s pretty cool to see wallpapers or screenshots from my favorite manga scenes on there when my device is on sleep mode.

There are newer Boox ereader devices that do color. Would be great for comics, magazines and textbooks. I personally haven’t tried them out yet but I’d love to get one, one day.

If you’re looking for something more basic and intuitive to use, I also recommend the kindle, 11th generation (2022). It’s small, 6in and very light. I still use mine often when reading my kindle collection. I just love how pocketable it is.

Hi, this is my first time too, posting anything on Lemmy.

I just made an account last night since Apollo app is going offline. RIP Apollo.

Sooo, this probably isn’t going to answer your question since you’re looking for a colored screen to read comics …..buuuut, if you or anyone else was interested in getting a device to read manga….then I do have a pretty good suggestion. I currently use the Boox Nova Air for reading manga.

Boox Nova Air is e-reader android tablet, so it’s sorta like a kindle but way more powerful than that. It has 7.8" HD E-ink Carta Screen, so it’s not too big, not to small. This device is only in black and white, no color… so perfect for manga. And because it’s an android tablet, I can pretty much download whatever from the google play store app or side load any apks. It came with a stylus so I can write notes on here too or draw.

I currently use the Tachiyomi app to read manga and I love it. I’ve definitely been reading a lot more manga since I purchased this device, last year. I also use pocket and the Firefox browser to catch up on news articles on the web.

There is a new Boox Tab Mini C, which is a ereader android tablet that does support color. So maybe this one could suit your needs for reading comics, if you wanted an ereader experience. It’s also a 7.8in display and comes with a stylus.

I hope this helps your search and anyone else who happens to read this comment.

Happy reading!
