    Perhaps for same reasons why talking is a free action and that no amount of haste sets you on fire due to friction.

    The haste spell won't make you twice as fast. It only allows you to make twice as many actions.

    in D&D maybe, but in other series, particularly among videogames, there's a visible difference in movement speed and animation speed, implying that the character very much is going faster/slower, or in some offline games the manuals describe it as having that effect, yet the only examples i can think of of that translating to a change in base reaction time, are video games that involve the player manually dodging. none of the ones that use RNG hit chance seem to do it.


  2. since the subject is here anyway, one thing that's always bugged me in games:  why do haste, slow, and related abilities never seem to have a drastic effect on your hit/dodge chances? being able to move faster than your opponent can react to, or react faster than they can attack, should be an absolute game changer. even a difference of milliseconds is enough to mean the difference between seeing a thing coming and not in some situations. pitching normally, a fastball, a screwball (reverse curveball), or a curveball, for example. a batter has an extremely narrow window of time, a few milliseconds at the professional level, to figure out which type of pitch it is and correct his swing accordingly.

    They were probably part of an ecosystem that kept the more dangerous critters at bay and now Susan's upset that balance and will have to find someway to fix it.

    I don't think Susan is wearing enough orange power armor for that.

    It's also possible she totally agreed with complete separation originally, later regretted that but is too proud to admit the mistake and do anything with it.

    if she's anything like her sister id find this one to be the more believable option.


  5. the previous two breakups though had major hangups on one side that were derailing things (Nanase being in denial of or not fully understanding her orientation, meaning she didn't connect with elliot the way she wanted, elliot being too close to sarah leading to him seeing her as family and fumbling at being anything else) i'm having a hard time finding any hints of a similar issue with ashley, considering we know what to look for this time...


  6. in simplest terms visually, realistic is boring as fuck, and i see it as lazy no matter how technically proficient it is, because you're just copying the visual asthetic of the real world rather than creating your own. putting it on par with 'generic anime rip' art styles that haven't come up with anything unique yet. 

    there's only one way to do realism well, and the better you are at it the more your work becoming gratingly similar to everyone else going for realistic visuals. the more detailed your work, the more your lazy choice of aesthetic works against you. the level of nudity in the comic never even enters into the equation.


  7. i have somewhat the opposite opinion on several of those points; they're all good points but you've got them in the wrong order. actually updating is still number one, but being a strictly visual media art quality trumps almost everything writing related (by quality i do NOT mean realism, i mean whether your style is appealing and technical proficiency the style skewing towards or trying to skew towards realistic is actually a detractor in my eyes). also whether or not the story is coherent only matters if it has a story to tell, which actually puts it near the bottom of the list as that's a 50/50 coin toss for webcomics. there are plenty where plotlines are completed and then promptly forgotten about never to be referenced again, like some kind of monster of the week, and they make it work.

    or TO lucy. this comic has done stranger things. on a regular basis.

    However, despite all those strange things, almost everyone survived.

    Who said anything about survival? i was talking about her getting turned into a guy.


  9. gimmie a bit to dig through the archive. unless i'm remembering it wrong, i'm pretty sure the scene i'm thinking of is just after the 'shouting on top of a table' scene.

     

    EDIT: and i just went through that entire arc and can't find it... Huh... Maybe i was remembering that bit wrong.

    ... so, our latest assumption is Diane is bisexual, right? In that case yes.

    less assumption, and more stated by several characters (mainly Dianne herself & Justin) and demonstrated in canon (Attraction to both Elliot and Lucy, is a big hint).
