Last time on Joey's Special Experience by Hirohiko Archie: Super Taxi sneaks into the hospital(??) late at night to see how Joost is doing! He finds that Eren is staying up with him at all hours of the night, caring for him until her hands bleed! He prepares to burst into the room to tell Joost how happy he is he's okay! Joost's bandages manage to conform to every curve and ripple of his prodigious physique! Read right to left:      oh no  the fight with god gave him a concussion

I'm just constantly enjoying what a good looking comic this is. I'm so used to Anthony Clark from just Nedroid and his doodles, which are talented but generally simple, it's easy to forget it's the same person. Although, since I asked about the artist early on, there's been a lot more stuff on the character end that is recognizably from him.

I'm going through earlier installments of Stand Still doing the same thing Lalli did, just revisiting the town before it went away. This is a great comic.

Yeah, Im' really happy to be reading these later bits, the comic has really picked up while when I quite reading it was more about a dangerous road-trip without all that much going on. Thanks for posting it, Kit! (Fun fact: "Kade" is Finnish slang word for "kateellinen", i.e. "jealous". My hunch is that the creature is named after some folklore and this etymological link isn't actually there, but it's still fun.)

I am so glad someone else remembers White Ninja! There's an incomplete archive here, and it's...well, it's definitely what I remember: "White Ninja does a good deed"  "White Ninja takes his dog to the doctor"  "White Ninja has a prosthetic foot"  "White Ninja and the floating boy"

Trixie Slaughteraxe for PresidentHempuli posted:Lumskhund 15  Lumskhund 20  Lumskhund 21   Well then - who can figure out (without having read the comic before) why the stars vanish? Talking character deaths: 44 Deaths altogether: 83+ Scepter of Deaths: way more than 10, pretty much impossible to count (+whatever, I think I'll only count on-screen sceptering from now on)

Hempuli posted:Well then - who can figure out (without having read the comic before) why the stars vanish? I've got my theory on that, The Scepter of Death's simulation only simulates a ~6 light year radius sphere around it. Because the stars themselves are not simulated giving light off, the light that was traveling within the simulation at the time it started runs out at the 5y 318d mark.

Thorsby honestly has some of the coolest sci-fi ideas out there and I love the execution as well. Somehow it needs that goofy art style as well, but someone smarter than me can explain why. Anyway, have some Hark! A Vagrant.  “He was, without a doubt, the greatest agent produced by the Americans during the first World War”  Ohh Sasaki Kojiro you should not have run your mouth (oh I should also mention that he carved a sword from the boat oar they say, but man it was still a boat oar. There was no room for a carving scene! I squish things enough). Anyway yeah he also knew drat well what he was doin’  Perhaps it is time I made a comic about Napoleon featuring something he actually did  January 4, 1889 To friend Overbeck and wife. Although you have so far demonstrated little faith in my ability to pay, I yet hope to demonstrate that I am somebody who pays his debts?for example, to you. I am just having all anti-Semites shot.  The more I read about Emperor Norton the more I think he totally rules.

Emzedoh posted:Ok so: WW2, Eastern Front, Nazis and communists. Except, all myths are true and fairy tale creatures and characters have been mobilised to fight on each side. The main characters are the Baba Yaga's apprentice and her eternally flustered NKVD minder. Together, they fight Nazis. Oh, and the author is another history fiend. Comrades! Let us rest from our labours and enjoy a tale of the Great Patriotic War, as recounted in Kutsuzure Sensen!         Incidentally, each chapter of Kutsuzure Sensen comes with bonus pages called The Whispers of the Screw, which detail the history of various technologies. Since there are rather a lot of them, I'm just going to provide a link to the imgur album for each album. Here's the first chapter's album: https://imgur.com/a/2JuWo4j And the second: https://imgur.com/a/Tx6Equk

The reveal that the scepter of death kills an entire planet worth of simulated people every time it's used is one that I think a lot of people saw coming a few pages before it happened but it's still really good.

Somehow it needs that goofy art style as well, but someone smarter than me can explain why. It's a matter of taste for sure. I absolutely love the crazy poo poo Thorsby puts out and I agree: the art helps take some of the edge off of the more serious bits, but also allows for cartoon shenanigans. For me it's perfect. Other comics in the same vein idea-wise but that take themselves deadly serious I don't often enjoy as much even if they are almost exactly the same subject-wise (like qualia the purple). I'm just not into the whole weird "we're cutesy kids on a maaaaaagical adventure and HOLY poo poo THEY BLEW HER BRAINS OUT" bait and switch poo poo that you see around.

On my first read-through I didn't really appreciate how dedicated the ambassador is. He's re-running the sim dozens of times a day to calculate his odds, committing suicide every time.

He's re-running the sim dozens of times a day to calculate his odds, committing suicide every time. Future him is, present sceptre touching him isn't. In fact, each of the simulated ambassadors only does it once, even from their perspective, since you only get the vision of the death scene, not the actual experience and memories of it. I imagine it's tedious work, but from ambassador prime's perspective I don't think it's that tough. Emzedoh has a new favorite as of 02:06 on Oct 7, 2022 |

hmm even though i guess the ambassador is the antagonist i never really thought about how much he went through to make his ideal future a reality. having yall here to talk through it kinda makes me sympathize a bit more for a dedicated friend trying to save the life of someone he admired. of course since all we ever see is the protagonists' adventures and not the probably evil poo poo the ambassador is doing off panel that helps not having too much of a connection to the villain and their plots.

There are only 4 stars within a 5 light years and 318 light days radius of the Earth including the sun, and one of them isn't visible with the naked eye.Emzedoh posted:I imagine it's tedious work, but from ambassador prime's perspective I don't think it's that tough. If you come up with a painless way to die and use it every time it's not really so bad, though I imagine it would be a bit existentially distressing. Monarchists do be like that though.

Maybe it creates a temporary copy that only extends 5 light years and 318 light days. Any light that was already on its way gets copied over but nothing outside of that

The scepter just dims the stars after a period of use to prevent image burn-in.

I assume that it just stops simulating the rest of the universe after that many days because that’s a big computational load

Yeah, space is biiiiiiiiiiig. It would be interesting if that comes up though, like someone on the opposite pole of the planet confirms they can still see one or two stars that are within the Scepter's simulation because those stars just happened to be close enough to this planet. That is on the assumption that "all the stars disappear" because the only ones visible from Diabolica's latitude are not within the simulation.

The decision to read Trixie at this pace: slowly but not as slowly as it would have been to follow it at the original update pace, and while discussing it with you people, is proving to be one of my better life choices.
