If he actually listened to Meti he should be able to Cut without something as needless as a sword. But alas, Meti was cursed with two terrible students.

Greg Egan wrote an interesting story set in a world with 2 time-like dimensions and 2 spatial dimensions as opposed to our 3 spatial and 1 time universe. one of the interesting side effect of those physics is turning 90 degrees left or right is impossible as accelerating to the speed of light. Also the most stable shape isn't a sphere but a hyperboloid. He explores the math in an easy to understand for non-physicists on his website: https://www.gregegan.net/DICHRONAUTS/DICHRONAUTS.html

I suppose we'll find out next page, but it looks to me like she's rasing the entire island into the air - the pillars in the last page are columns of water falling off of the black underside above.

Yeah I see it now, she's floating the island. My first thought was that she was raising some very sharp/smooth walls but it didn't really seem that clear to me. Floating the island makes a lot more sense with what we're seeing there.

I first saw it as walls that she was erecting, then I noticed that she was lifting the arena, but it took reading the thread for me to fully parse the cascading water as water and not like truckloads of falling ash or something.

I'm pretty sure it actually is somewhere between water and ash. Looks like almost everything got hit by the same stone-like binding spell rendering it... whatever it is now, but it definitely doesn't seem like normal water anymore.

Never bring a duck to a cock fight.
Hello K6BD thread. I’ve decided it’s time to re-read the series yet again. I’m trying to do it on my iPad and since all the images are also links most mobile browsers don’t show the alt text. I thought I had a solution since Chrome actually shows the alt text on images that are links, but the further I go I’ve noticed that it truncates the alt text of it’s too long, which a lot are.

Does anyone have a decent solution to this? Is there some obscure browser that works? An alternative site that’s mobile optimized? Or am I just going to have to dig out a laptop?

You can't just do the standard mobile thing of holding a finger on the image until the alt text comes up? I'm not really familiar with apple stuff.

Oh yeah it does look like she's lifting the island up rather than creating walls. I guess if you're fighting an unbeatable enemy and there's no volcano nearby that you can use to launch him into space, you must be your own volcano.

This is what I get in Firefox or any browser that isn't Chrome. It just shows the link that you're sent to if you were to click on the image.



Chrome works except for the truncating they started doing like 2 years back.

Weird. It looks like the old strips do that on Firefox but the new ones give alt text. (Because clicking on the comic gives you the next comic for anything but the newest one.)

You know, I wouldn't blame chaos for eating maya she is probably pretty well marinated given her drinking and she has a nice muscle-fat ratio like Waygu. Which K6BD character do you think would be most tasty for Chaos to eat?

The prophecy picture we saw when Jadis called out the K6BD name showed Allison flanked by WC and Cio, which we can interpret as being Voltron'ed. Maya and Jagganoth were off to the side, with the remaining demiurges arrayed against them all, so we might be looking at a fight with four distinct factions (though Maya is most likely going to be sympathetic to anyone not-Incubus).

Maya seems to have some kind of moral compass, so she probably isn't going to do something that would obviously screw over innocent people.

At every opportunity, she has acted to protect bystanders.

Except that she could be doing that now and not chasing Incubus. She may act to protect bystanders, but here and now is quite possibly her ONE chance to strike at the thing she hates most and the sanction action is to Cut.

"God will never forgive the hate I feel for that man"

Maya's wandering swordswoman deal, and her protection of innocents, is going to be sorely tested when it becomes clear that Incubus is in fact on the right side of this conflict and protecting Allison. Because he's awful! But he is acting as Allison's mentor in a real way, albeit a lovely mentor she will have to become better than.
