Planning to change my answer to “I’m reading along” after tomorrow’s read! :muscle:t3:

I just noticed that I’m not really fond of this 4-koma format thing… So I’m looking forward to getting to the next non-4-koma section.

気が合わない人と仲の良い振りをしてみたいの。

Is she saying something like: I tried to be close to the people that I don’t get along with, so what I understand: She tried to get close to people before but now, she doesn’t get along with them (because her memories vanished).

I’m just a bit confused about 仲の良い振り, I would literally translate it as “close behaviour” - I tried close behaviour with the not-getting-along-with people

I’m happy that I’m soon at the point where the story actually begins. …I think I get now why it’s called chapter 0.

#10

Basically, she tried to fake being friends with people she wasn’t really friends with, to see if her memories of them vanished the next week, and they didn’t. (Thus proving that it’s not “interacting with people” that causes the amnesia, it’s “being friends”.)

Pretty sure Chapter 0 was originally published as a one-shot, before it became a recurring series with Chapter 1.

:thinking::thinking::thinking: I have to re-read that part. Didn’t catch that at all :sweat_smile:

#13

Apparently I misread the page numbers last week, so I had four extra pages to read this week! In any case, I’m done!

Unrelated to the club (except that I tried to use the link to last week’s thread in the OP), but are links to other threads broken for anyone else? My browser just gives me an error about it redirecting too many times. I suspect it has something to do with the ‘x’ in the URLs? Or is it just me? It happens with every link to another thread I’ve tried, though all the links have used the ‘x’.

#14

Hmmm I had never noticed those “x” in the URLs before, but they work properly for me despite that. Currently using the latest version of Chrome, for reference… maybe give it a try with a different browser?

#15

Interesting, since I’m using the latest Chrome, as well. The error happens on a different computer, same browser/version, too, but using Firefox it doesn’t happen.

#16

Hmmm that’s indeed really strange. Since chrome synchronizes extensions between computers, maybe the issue is with some third party extension you may have in chrome… ?

#17

Yeah, that seems to be it. I’ll have to work through which one in particular is causing it. Thanks!

The error happens if you open the link in a new tab in chrome, so it works if you use another browser or don’t open in a new tab(even if it is a bit annoying to have to use the same tab… or at least to have to duplicate the tab before clicking the link)

Certainly, it does fail for me too when I attempt to open in a new tab =>.<= So it might be a discord bug / chrome bug?

#20

Ah, yep, you’re right. It was just a coincidence that I didn’t open the link in a new tab after I’d disabled all addons.

#21

It’s working for me.

The x is a placeholder for the topic title, which usually appears in the URL - if you include the topic title in its entirety, the link stops working if the topic it links to changes titles.
