Copernic posted:Sporadic, infrequent, unexpected updates are not an inevitable component of the creative process. Particularly when the author's method is to promise a time, break that promise, promise a new time, break that promise, and THEN it appears. Yeah this is why I don't pay for the fanflow either. I own a bunch of achewood merch, but the fanflow doesn't appeal to me at all. Also since the fanflow started it seems like the blogs and such have all died  Spillane, criticizing his release schedule and the fact that Magical Realism is featured more heavily than Roast Beef nowadays is certainly fair game. The experimentation and "overindulgence" of dialogue is pretty much the definition of Achewood, and complaining about that would be like getting pissed that Picasso had lovely perspective or Sinatra didn't have enough drum solos. If he did three panel situation, setup, punchline cartoons all the time in 10 words or less he'd be Garfield. also maybe you should take your meds.

It's a game where the next level comes out intermittently and significantly less so since the game started advertising the DLC which has over 700 levels which is apparently where the real effort goes.

I remember the halcyon days when comics were posted more than once a week and there were regular content updates that did not require a $3 monthly fee. I don't know why I have issues spending $3 on talking cats when I have bought something like 3 shirts, 4 posters, pint glasses, cookbooks, regular books, and other poo poo. I guess its the lack of permanent access.

Happy Hippo posted:Welcome to the Achewood thread, where we rehash this same conversation every 8 or so pages. Because it takes that long for a new comic to come out  In all seriousness, though, what else is there to talk about aside from the current comics and the delivery of the comics? Is there some new cool Onstad talk or interview or something similar? No one really talks about the fanflow content because half of us don't pay for access to it and its not like there is the wealth of content there used to be - a lot of that stuff gets shunted to the fanflow I guess. The blogs were last updated: Ray - 12/8/08 (these are all american dates gently caress you british backwards folks) Beef - 5/24/09 Pat - 4/6/09 Teodor - 5/30/08 Phillipe - 12/16/08 Cornelius - 4/4/09 Lyle - 5/4/08 Molly - 7/29/08 Onstad - 1/16/09 Nice Pete - 5/4/08 Little Nephew - 5/4/08 Emeril - 5/12/06 So yeah, even the most recent posts are 10 months old. I mean dude's welcome to bake his bread however he wants but I don't think that somehow means people gotta love it.

Hours provide context for minutes in the same way that months provide context for date. Year is a superfluous bit of data that is only added for long term planning, in the same way that a clock might list hours, minutes, date. A clock that reads minutes:hours is literally the same as the bad/wrong days:months calendar, and it is obviously bad/wrong because otherwise it would not have been previously labeled as such.

Considering Nathan has zero problems touching a naked dude in a Denny's at 2am, hell, considering that Nathan is in a Denny's at 2 am, I don't think he's exactly some exemplary member of the human race. Gay dudes aren't a horrible thing but there isn't a player aside from Teodor in this situation that isn't part of the horror show. I think the important thing to take away from this whole situation is that high school is a pretty poo poo time of one's life, and double high school is apparently even worse

Citizen Kane has literally beautiful, complex, layered artistry in each shot, and literally pioneered all of those techniques. It's practically where cinematography began, and aesthetically it holds up very well. So that's why I like it. If you're watching it just for the plot and don't know the historical context of Hearst's life, then its not going to amaze you, but nobody is watching Avatar for the plot, either.

smashczar posted:Does Ray have vodka martinis or just ketel one shaked over ice with an olive? I saw a bottle of ketel one the other day and nearly bought it. Considering the proper way to make a vodka martini is to put three parts vodka in a shaker, put one part vermouth down the sink, and then shake with ice, pour into a martini glass and fill a toothpick with as many olives as it will fit, I'd say this question is irrelevant.

I don't think people are hating on Achewood, merely hating on the fact that it updates more rarely now than ever. On the one hand, I can imagine it's annoying to work on it and see people talking poo poo. On the other hand, it's largely done because people (myself included) have grown accustomed to regular deliveries of mirth and turns of phrase that excite and titillate. We expect, and deeply desire Achewood in our lives, and to go without sucks. If the sun did not come up every day, we would complain, but that does not mean we hate the sun, merely its absence. Having said that, I don't think there is a thing that Onstad could say that would improve the scenario. No matter what reason, mundane or fantastic, he put forth, people would complain, and the reality is the only thing that will sate fans is more Achewood, not excuses, no matter how rational or understandable they may be. If, god forbid, Onstad's entire family was on fire, and only through not writing more Achewood could he ease their suffering, a group of cantakerous internet people would complain that he was not upholding his Achewoodly duties. And if it is anything less than that, even more people will complain. Really, the safest, best, and most enjoyable 'fix' all around is to simply put out more Achewood, more often, without drawing attention to the fact that it's been about 3 weeks since we saw a strip. There are no words that aren't uttered by a cartoon cat in a regular update that will sooth the pains of an Achewood longing, so its best to forgo them entirely.
