Doesn't saying they got there four centuries ahead of everyone else imply that it was four centuries before everyone else? Maybe that should be worded differently. ( )e: also, I just realized that when Dirk said antediluvian he was speaking literally

Captain Oblivious posted:Why are people acting like Karkat is acting differently or whatever? Turning into Eridan? What the hell is this, just because his vitriol is directed at Dave who we like? It's a joke about how Eridan did the same "appearify suddenly, knocking Kanaya off the platform" thing right before fighting Sollux.

Mystic Mongol posted:I just figured he bought enough shaving cream to last him the rest of his life, so he'd never have to go shopping again. Yeah but he was at the store like every fifteen minutes for more cake mix. The dude's life was basically baking, shaving, and being proud of his derpy son.

Pessimism posted:It's going to be an A1 troll, and John's just gonna be all like, pff oh it's you again. Just wanna point out that I called it. Sorta. Anyways, I wouldn't think much of John's dismissal of Vriska (and would agree with it actually) if the rest of his conversation with Jade hadn't been peppered with abandonment anxiety. In the context of him fretting over not ever seeing Dave or Rose or any of the trolls they know in the dream bubbles and also wondering if his friends will be better friends with the trolls than with him when they all meet up again, it does seem as though he might care a bit more than he's letting on. Add that to the fact that Jade seems to be getting closer to Davesprite than John is (I assume, since she's the one who noticed that there are differences between his and Dave's personalities), and you can't blame John for being a little lonely.

Boneless Jogger posted:Forgot to mention this earlier, but while I'm not sure Andrew would introduce all of the A1's ancestors I'm thinking that he probably will give more info on A1 Karkat at least. If only to explain the Cancer symbol necklace Aranea has. It seems unlikely to me, but I guess that could be for the A1 equivalent to the Signless though. She did say she watched the whole A2 history play out. Maybe the necklace is just a fangirl thing she materialized after she died. Or maybe it's just her way of showing support for her coplayer's scratched counterpart. Who knows? I have a feeling it'll come up though.

So while we're all listening to the new album and waiting for the updates to resume, I thought I'd mention that I saw this last night and couldn't help but notice a few... similarities to a certain comic. It was a pretty good moive; I recommend it.

That game was so awesome! I really, really loved the eerie emptiness of it and the music was perfect. Now I want to go buy Myst since everyone's saying it's so similar. I wish I hadn't gone through it with my boyfriend though. He has played puzzle games his whole life and solved everything right away before I got a chance to think about it  . If another one of these play through things ever comes up, I'm keeping it to myself!Have we heard any of that music before? I haven't really been keeping up with the fan albums.

Dang, I was really hoping we would get a little more sprite horror out of that. Still, probably for the best I guess. Wonder if this means none of the new kids will get to have sprites at all? They already don't get consorts or (apparently) imps. Poor things .snucks posted:I wonder how long it took Hussie to decide to kill off Tavriskasprite.

So does this mean we can all stop speculating that Jake is gonna turn evil and become lord english? I mean I know we all love thinking that the characters are going to spontaneously turn all hitleresque in this thread but god drat.

Bobulus posted:Nah, it just added more fuel to the fire. Now it's going to be a closed time loop. I don't think Jake himself will become Lord English, but he will play a part in the creation of him. Guaranteed. Well sure, creating him, that's plausible. I'm just sick of the "X is turning evil!!!!1"theories that crop up at the drop of a hat. Weird causation shenanigans and time loops are par for the course, but Hussie has never had his characters start acting wildly out of character just for the sake of a surprising twist. Even grimdark Rose wasn't evil, she was just really pissed off and also gray.

Eikre posted:Yeah, okay, not that I care about this too deeply as it transpires in the comic, but this isn't how the designation "species" works. When your species has one gender, and your only method of procreation is by inseminating another species that also has one gender, that is not a one-gender relationship with another species. That is a two-gender relationship with the other gender of your own species. That's how those words work. Modern biologist will very explicitly back me up on this. WARNING: BIO-SPERG A COMIN' Welllll, not quite. The link you provided is a really cool example of sexual dimorphism, but you're still assuming that "boy impregnates girl" is the only game in town when it comes to sexual reproduction, when really it isn't. Obviously many species lay eggs instead of getting knocked up, plus there are a handfull of species where the males actually are the ones who get pregnant. So, what makes a male a male and a female a female if dude pipefish are the ones havin' the babies (and they are)? It all comes down to gamete size. The very simplest form of sexual reproduction came about when little primordial critters started branching out into two groups: one group made big gametes (eggs), and another made little ones (sperm). Biologically speaking, whichever sex makes bigger dna packets is considered female, no matter who carries the kids. I don't think the mother grub is supposed to be the female of the species, since it's implied that she isn't actually contributing dna, just sort of cooking it. It's theoretically possible that mother grubs actually are another species with a separate evolutionary lineage that just entered a very close symbiotic relationship with trolls. What about the imperial drones? Different species or just specialized morphology? Who knows? They're aliens in a webcomic that is written by a guy who is way less spergy about biology than I am, and I'm not going to try to apply the principals of sexual reproduction to them because a) it probably wouldn't make sense and b) I don't feel like thinking that hard about cartoon baby making.

Renaissance Robot posted:No, see, those are all still fish. There is no taxonomist on earth who would put a giant butterfly grub in the same phylum as an erect quadrupedal vertebrate, let alone the same species. Taxonomists classify species based on evolutionary lineage, not just what they look like. Some species have such massive differences in morphology that taxonomists thought they were different species until dna testing could verify that they were actually the same. Would you see a species containing giant butterfly grubs and also humanoid forms on earth? Not likely. In a webcomic? Sure, why not? Not saying this definitely means they're the same species and not symbiotes, but it's possible.
