Doesn't look like you're subtracting those you've already killed?

edit: oh, no, I see, the running total before push 34 might be slightly under (?)

According to my 30 seconds of googling he's a fan of Stonetoss and chummy with the nazi webcomics circuit, so I guess that depends on whether your definition of actual nazi includes people who "ironically" promote them.
That's a firm yes from me then. Thanks for looking into it.

Something really important just clicked for me about comic making, but it's so stupid that I didn't get it before, and I wanted to write it down.

It's good a insight there being value in scenes that are not fighting scenes, but it still sounds a lot like you think fighting scenes are the meat and potatoes. Everything else is like the greens that need to be camouflaged or covered up with something 'interesting', filled with explanations... of the fighting scenes. It doesn't seem that helpful if everything is actually still subservient to setting up action. It seems better to me to move towards seeing all types of scene in their own right, on the same level, in function of the story. To a point where fighting is almost incidental, if it just so happens to be the best way to teach the reader or the character something. Where in non-fighting scenes things happen or are done that are of equal weight to the story from the ground up instead of it being grafted on. Like, if the angle is you're going to pad out some things just to get variations in the tempo, I can't imagine that being very engaging on its own. Which is the absolute least charitable reading of what you're saying, I know. Tell me if I'm misunderstanding entirely though.

I think it's because there's more separation between the values of the foreground/background. Because the line weights don't vary, it's often quite hard when everything's at the same saturation and contrast.
I think it's in the camera work so to speak as well. And enough background detail to tie things together from shot to shot.

The ai backgrounds look great and very much help tie things together. I have as many moral problems with it as I have with someone using the fill tool instead of coloring every pixel manually ie. none.

I think he takes issue with the mythologizing some adults or media create around childlike imagination and says he doesn't recognize himself in it and remembers it being all pretty mundane. That's not hating on the other kids. That's saying the way the total immersion is represented and normalized in Calvin and Hobbes or whatever is so over the top it feels alienating to him. Made him categorize himself as a kid with no imagination to this day. Which, like, if that's his experience then, I guess, ok? And the question isn't even why the trope shows up in children's media, but why some adults talking among themselves insist on romanticizing it to the degree they do. I can imagine thinking that is a bit weird when it happens and it being a personal bugbear. I don't think there's really any intent to invalidate anyone else's experience.

The Awful android app doesn't show you the full resolution image when you pick the display image option. If I share the image to imgurviewer or a browser it doesn't seem like there are any problems with the images you posted so far re. legibility.

Just so I'm clear, the protagonists of Demon are currently doing all this... just out of spite? They don't particularly care about hunters big plan, they just want to gently caress him up cos he dared to mess with them. Am I right?

I like the comic but the motivations are possibly hard to relate to if one is not an absolute sociopath, which I also gather is kind of the point too?

Odd comic
They have lived very long lives and have had the opportunity to sample every walk of life and have run out of things that are new and exciting. Is what I took away from it.

there's also t(humbnail) and s(mall) below m(edium), but yeah h works for most things. imo for comics either post using img with h, or timg with no suffix. the latter works for everyone unless they are bandwidth constrained (56k no !!!)

kind of amusing that "huge" size is 1024x768 though. what year is it?
It wasn't just bandwidth, but people reading on old budget phones with little ram, like maybe even just two or three years ago. I couldn't read the five acres thread back then because the glut of full size pictures would make the app crash. Zero problems on the new phone though. Maybe the rest of the world has mostly caught up as well.

On a less awful note, I've been making a few more sales of the bird palette swap poster, and Redbubble indicates they're from europe and north america. As a holiday project I'd like to do a couple of new Avigraphs of birbs from those areas. But I don't really know what species you actually have. I guess the question is, what are like the iconic birds if you're living in Canada or Britain or adjacent countries? I'm going to be drawing a bald eagle with hummingbird colours, but that still leaves the rest of a 6x6 grid to fill. And Europe is worse, I think you guys have seagulls and starlings and....... sparrows? helP

Yeah, good point! Remember those ubiquitous jokes about threatening the computer with a hammer until it works? And you'd think phones would be ripe for being person'd, but it simply never happened. I wonder if that is because the phone is viewed as an extension of the self, rather than an independent entity we interact with.
A thing has got to be complex enough to be temperamental, but not as complex that a hobbyist can't figure it out. We went through the same with cars. You used to be able to fix a thing. Teach it while it teaches you. Now it's all reboot, reset to factory image or rma. The bond comes from having to coax a thing into doing what you want and succeeding. Now you either don't have to or just can't. Increased reliability makes it boring and so does lack of troubleshooting options. My phone, the device, is not an extension of me in that sense. It's utterly replaceable. I use a phone, I'm not a "phone enthousiast" like I was with computers thirty years ago. That's imo why that went away.

Yeah don't use the imgur thumbnail options, even the hugest one is tiny by modern standards. Also yeah, the display option in the Android app for some reason doesn't use the full res image. You can open image links in ImgurViewer for the superior zooming experience. Available one both the play store and f-droid.
