Captain Hygiene posted:I think the guards' slang is getting a bit more mixed, but I enjoyed the slide into 1940s gangster a lot. That xkcd comic is unfortunately right about how language all blurs together into becoming equally old-timey after long enough. On the other hand, maybe they're regional dialects from back when.

That's been someone's avatar for ages, surprised to see it's this early in the comic. Also frankly none of those are the craziest things that have happened to royalty.

I just realized that both Junji Ito shorts posted here ended with extremely distorted bodies - the first because of the pressures of the holes, the second because of the pressures of the older layers on the younger bodies. Is that a recurring theme in his work?

I'll say this about Ito's stuff, while you can always expect distended bodies you'd still be shocked by the execution.

Concerned: The Half-Life and Death of Gordon Frohman 174  Hey, I'm the number one Google result for the word "concerned"! Take that, Union of Concerned Scientists! Eat me, Concerned Women for America! Hey, , I got a match for you: my rear end and your face! Okay, granted, people googling for the word "Concerned" are probably just looking for my site in the first place, but still. The only search my old site (notmydesk.com) ever pwned was "nude women with hiccups", the reasons for which I neither can nor wish to recall.(dead link) (Thunderbeast note: the above is formatted exactly as in the original blog post, including the wrong second link, the missing org name, and the entire underlined portion representing a dead link due to missing a closing anchor tag) (edit: now googling for "concerned" only brings up a full page of links to dictionary entries for the word. rip) 175  I've been using some custom models in the comic lately (not made custom for me, but for G-Mod in general). Here are some links: Eyeglasses (and way, way more) by Kathar aka Mark Lyon (flag models by Freelancer/Shadow7.(dead link) Half-Life Source Mod (seen in today's comic) by Someone! and Splurgy.(dead link) The Freeman model you've been catching a few glimpses of for a while now by HB_Talon.(dead link) I still think it's amazing that you can find just about anything you need in the G-Mod forums, and they stuff you can't find, someone will probably make if you ask nicely. 176  This is a nod to the "Which Barney is the Real Barney in HL1" discussion that is probably still going on in a number of forums. The "Blue Shift" expansion answers it clearly -- the Barney you see in the tunnel at the very beginning of HL1 is the real Barney, but some people still don't believe it. Since you never interact with that Barney in the tunnel, that Barney never offers to buy you a beer, and thus the Barney in HL2, who references that line, can't be the same Barney. (Not to mention Blue Shift was made by another company, and some fans don't accept it as canon.) Of course, the beginning of HL1 does not represent the first time Gordon Freeman has visited the Black Mesa Complex, and thus the tunnel Barney may have offered to buy Freeman that beer on any other number of prior occasions. This is the sort of thing that dorks, such as myself, tend to discuss in great detail. As far as my comic goes, Valve actually does a fine job in HL2 of making sure you don't have duplicates of the same extra on the screen at the same time. I think I may have seen it happen once or twice, but I'm really not sure. Son of Thunderbeast has a new favorite as of 16:54 on Jul 13, 2022 |

And now for something completely different. I've been wanting to post about this for a while: it's The Dragon, the Hero and the Courier (Ryuu to Yuusha to Haitatsunin), a comedy by certified history freak Gregorius Yamada. There's kind of a lot going on in this manga, but the thing I want to draw attention to is the riff it makes on the current fad for game-like fantasy worlds - you know the ones, with levels and skills and classes and things. DHC has all those things too - but they're all done completely manually. Experience points aren't gained automatically - there's a guy whose job it is to follow you around and write down what you've done. There's a combat log - it's that same guy doing a running commentary on how the fight goes. Apparently, he can tell how much damage you do just by looking. There's battle music - a troupe of bards who attempt to play the appropriate theme depending on the progress of the battle. On top of that, these people aren't just brainless npcs, they're working stiffs just trying to get by and we mainly see the story from their perspective. Finally, instead of the setting largely being based on the usual fantasy mishmash, DHC has a medieval vibe that is, if not capital A Accurate (I mean, there's dragons and elves and things), at least has a lower case t true verisimilitude to it. Anyway, I'm starting us off on chapter 2 because that's when the aforementioned vibes really kick in.    And here's our main character, a half-elf from the countryside come to the big city.   Here's another touch I like, most characters have epithets (the Tempest, of Flurries, the Anus Smasher) instead of last names.         I guess it's worth mentioning at this point that the author hasn't really bothered to file off all the serial numbers on the religion of this setting? It's never mentioned explicitly, but most of the characters seem to be Christians - they talk about saints and feast days and the holy trinity. At one point, a costumed mascot show (shutup) gets busted up by the Inquisition on suspicion of idolatry. The mascot show deploys a former monk to debate the inquisitors and they actually cite (as far I can tell) real theological sources and rulings.      Bonus pages:     (In case you were wondering about the curry from earlier on) So that's the Dragon, the Hero and the Courier. It's a little crude in places, but I'm quite fond of it. Would people like to see more? Whole chapters or part chapters? I don't want to punish people's scroll bars too much.
