Buzkashi posted:If the village is under the reverse gravity zone, will that mean all the buildings will be on the ceiling of a cave? Logically, the reverse gravity zone should be fully in the sky. And rock, dirt, or other form of landmass inside the zone would have flown up long ago, reaching the top of the zone; where it reached a sort of equilibrium between both gravity directions. The wind, then, would take it away to fall some distance from the zone. So if the zone had been placed at ground level initially, it would have eventually created a large depression bordered with hills and mountains. A sort of crater.

They basically have the same body as the local intelligent aliens. So those things on the torso actually are legs. They just evolved their tentacles into arms and legs so their six paws are useless vestiges; while the beast here evolved them into weapons and keeps crawling on its belly.

They need to know about the spell, though. It's probably simpler to cast "obeymeix" over and over and over again.

(It seems pretty much all the fauna on this planet has these wraparound cylindrical mouths.) I think it's less "guys can't stand each others" and more a celebration of machismo. There's also artwork depicting non-combat feats, at least one sculpture shows a datima bending a metal bar.

Mannerisms and other parts of someone's idiolect would still be personal though, but that's generally more subtle. But yeah, finger prints, retinal scanning, and voice recognition are all useless to limbchoosers. I wonder what biometrics they could have developed for themselves. (Probably in the form of a limb, of course.)

The limbchoosers are basically Mr Potato Head rationalized as a symbiotic alien species. There are no set places for limbs to be connected, it's always a traumatic graft. That means they can have as many limbs as needed (the tradeoff being that if they have too many limbs, they'll tire faster as they have to feed them all). Control is based on hormones, so logically their reactions should be quite slower than species with their own limbs and a nervous system, which would make them quite lousy at being action spies.

my dad posted:I still hope that the theory will turn out to be wrong. Or at least, not generally applicable beyond the Tjargellos. While it tends to be Biotruth: the Webcomic; so far it has shown different aliens adopting very different approaches to fulfill the same imperative. How could the "royal harem" theory apply to the trap-building aliens who never actually meets, for example?

my dad posted:They're so tiny. Mmh. How d'you get there? Not-Plume is 14-pixels tall in the last panel. Assuming a height of 180 centimeters, that makes it about 13 cm per pixel. The guard in the same frame is about 350 pixels, so 45.5 meters tall. In the first frame, he is 17-pixel-tall, that makes it about 2m67 per pixel. So the palace has a roof height of 168 pixels = 450 meters; a dome height of 294 pixels = 787 meters, and a tower height of 426 pixels = 1140 meters.

An Old Boot posted:especially if you mainline all of his comics within a few days Yeah don't. When Thorsby started TASS, I had just finished HFD and LS&W a couple weeks before. Upon seeing it was more of the same, I got instantly fed up. Then several months later, I binged TASS without regretting it. It's great plotting but I can understand getting Thorsby fatigue.

He's currently up to #350 on TASS, while the last update on webcomicsnation was #507 (the server stayed long enough for my RSS feed to get updated, but was already down when I wanted to see the new page). Should be caught up pretty soon at this pace.

my dad posted:Huh, while searching for the webpage, I discovered that Thorsby is a fan of OOTS He's not very active there though. Searching for his posts from his profile only gives nine threads, most of which are about his own comics. He has only one post about OotS itself, and it was to express confusion over Rich Burlew's use of speech bubbles.

http://brainchip.thecomicseries.com/comics/114 In the latest episode, Ulf is remotely hacking Chinese army computers to patch their nuclear missile control systems. This is the kind of scenario that can only end well. On the other hand, he did get out of an American nuke base full of corpses with both launch keys, in front of a witness, and nobody bothered him about that. So maybe the Chinese hacking gambit will really work.
