What does the thread think of Supermassive Black Hole A*? It's a hard sci-fi story about the human diaspora living in the galactic core (near the eponymous stellar body) and follows two characters, a revenge-driven engineer and an absolutely batshit crazy mercenary who's a lot more than meets the eye. Much of the conflict centers around the pursuit of very advanced technology left behind by a famous inventor during humanity's emigration to the core.

Captain Oblivious posted:I think this time it's not so much about Doc's blindspot as it is about the fact that King Radical is winning, decisively. This is legitimately probably the only option left with the stakes this high and victory so close for King Radical. Plus, Sparklelord likes Doc's world the way it is. They understand how lame Radical things are.

Pavlov posted:Why do we have to have this conversation every time it comes up? Because it's really edgy and trendy to hate a popular webcomic that's mostly popular because it updates a lot, when people should really just chill the gently caress out and read what they actually like.

A Gnarlacious Bro posted:Do you chalk up every instance of ambient negativity to it being trendy? No, just the repetitive ones. I could not care less about questionable content. I get a little annoyed when things with merit are ignored in favor of the same stupid talking points. If people want to eat millet once a day instead of steak once a week, who cares? This is the internet, go find something you like. Otherwise you're just being boring.

Sparklelord loves Doc's world, because it's so lame compared to the Radical Lands. King Radical was going to do the Radical Holocaust. I think that's an obvious choice.

Kojiro posted:If you're into Derelict, btw, the first book is on sale til the 4th. Couldn't recommend it enough, it came out really nicely, and since Ben's moving house right now it'd be a great time to support him. The comic about the most loving terrifying lethal goof there's ever been. It's always a little jarring to see how Dang just cold-bloodedly offs people.

Nuns with Guns posted:fair point... and given her newest page has like 200+ comments I'm not optimistic on that level As unofficial Steven Brust cheerleader, I both completely disagree with every one of his views and loving love everything he's written. I would go so far as to say that Steven Brust is the best living fiction writer.

Most of the magic in LOTR is just how things are. Gandalf throws fire around because of his ring, not because he's a wizard, and the other stuff he does is mostly tricks. The only out-and-out magic he does is because he's an angel, and even that isn't very big. The rings are amazing works of magic because some guy was just that good at metalwork. It's a world where craft and secrets have power; Aragorn's sword is more than just a normal sword because of its history and because the elves poured all their skill into it. All the middle earth stuff is very influenced by Norse mythology, so the closest thing to a magic spell are the songs of slaying sung by ancient heroes as their blades cleave through the flesh of their enemies (because in this world, God sung existence into being.)

President Funkhouser isn't dead, though, just trapped in the Negazone (I love the fact that this sentence makes perfect sense.) It's not the "protect the acting president" spirit.

The pizza was Ben's last piece of unfinished business, and once he had it he wasn't a ghost anymore. Now Old Patrick McNinja is in Purgatory, but Dr. Patrick McNinja isn't, and Raynor will realize that when he sees the face of the corpse he's unmasking, just before he dies.

Avshalom posted:insane people make the best art, it's a stereotype that has been proven true again and again throughout history, however non-insane people can also make good art if they try hard and believe in themselves and they tend to be more reliable when it comes to transactions involving money. however modern psychiatry has levelled the field a lot and i hope someday it'll be possible for insane people to make great art AND basic income please without being doomed to a life of mailing their ears to prostitutes and/or mailing dead wasps to kickstarter backers There are these people called "agents" who act as a buffer between strange people and people who are willing to pay for the products of strange people. However, some people are strange enough to not want help, and some decide that trying to make money is somehow bad.
