The angle at which he's glancing at the light makes me think there's an Immortal reasonably nearby, but that could be wrong. I'm too lazy to look thru the archives, but I think it's been mentioned that Sirleck is fair game because he's on the spirit plane. "a spell no mortal could learn"

I think Sirleck is unaffacted because he is in the spirit plane, rather than the physical plane. Dan did make sure to point out that all the Immortals were pulled into the physical plane before casting the spell, so that detail is probably important.

Would that make Susan some kind Super Saiyan Samson?

Blonde hair makes a return! Cool.

Monastic record keeping was pretty good during that period, actually. And while a lot has been lost, much has survived by copying, and I assume secret magical organizations would be pretty good at that.

Unicomp owns all the patents and copyrights, as well as all the original tooling that was used to make the Model M. They do unfortunately use a different plastic, and make it thinner.

I know this is a late reply, but I recall Dan saying that he considers the new commentary thing fully payed for, and that he will get it done one day. So it wouldn't make sense as a reward anymore.

Ah, that is also my personal favorite, you have a great taste in tea. I think they also use leaves from differently grown tea bushes, hence why english breakfast being stronger despite both being made from black tea.

Those all also exist in hundreds of different blends, making for all kinds of variation, I'm guessing. Like, what's the difference between magic earl grey and magic english breakfast?

Doesn't have to be in color... http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=349 Tedd's hair stays the exact same shade of gray.

You mean *can* make you blonde, right? Since we have plenty of examples of hair not turning blonde. Again, I think this is just a different blend.

On Sarah's amount of tea vs here, I think they're just different blends.

I'm thinking his desire probably lowered his spell resistance.

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2290 I can't believe I actually predicted this.

Oh no, I don't think Sarah did a proper morph, since she thinks she can't. Whether or not she can is up for the future though.

Hmm, you know, there haven't actually been anything that shows that she can't use other people's abilities (rather than just imagining them). Last comic had her question why she didn't see herself glowing, but she wasn't using any spells in the simulation, so of course she wouldn't glow, and this comic she didn't even try to use Tedd's mark. This feels like a red herring, Dan is trying to make us think that she can't simulate abilities, without actually showing it.

I have set up a discord server where people can chat with other egs fans. Please note that this server is not affiliated with Dan Shive or 910cmx. https://discord.gg/TfzPVag I hope you like it! EGS is copyright Dan Shive.

Haha, I hadn't noticed that! I guess my server is mostly for people who already uses discord, though one big advantage with discord is that message history is preserved, so it's more discussion oriented than this web-chat.

Her surname is Bobcat.

I wouldn't interpret it that way, but alright.

Audio has only plateaued in the areas of encoding, decoding, and playback of simple audio, one big thing we can't do yet without noticeable performance degradation—or heck, even doing it in the first place—is the generation of proper, real time audio effects, like echos, muffled sound, true 3d positional audio, or just how audio spreads past obstacles of different materials. As a comparison, realistic echos require complex calculations that are at least as complicated global illumination, which has been something of a pipe dream in graphics programming for ages. No need for the pregnancy, Tedd thinks that (s)he can make transformation wands that changes someone base form, and presumably it would work with any transformation. Just load up that "me when I was 18" form into a perma-wand and BAM! I'm definitely asking about this next Q&A.

I wanted to put this in an edit, but the edit box seems messed up. --- The case of Xerox is actually pretty funny, Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center created all kinds of cool, ahead of the times stuff, but because executives didn't really understand why anyone would use that stuff, a lot of it was more or less given away, for example, what became the modern desktop under Apple. I have code running on my computer that is copyright Xerox Corp 1985, because they gave it out for free, under an open license. Edit: apparently, I'm getting white text on white background in the editing box. Also, does anyone know to make a horizontal bar in the formatting?

Fair enough to you too, I guess :-P

Precisely
