    This is a bodypaint joke? I thought it was a Bob and George joke.
  2. Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)

    I am curious which part of this is saddening.
  3. EGS Strip Slaying

    That's quite a treasure trove.
  4. EGS Fandub [canceled]

    I think half an hour isn't too bad, per strip. I mean, it's not like you'd sit down and do one strip in a go. You'd lay out your lines for several weeks of comics. Practice them as a sequence for a while alone (how long depends on line density of the character). Then everyone gets together on skype and goes through it to get a feel for the scene. That could take an hour if everyone's smooth about it or indefinitely long if someone's flaky. Then you do several read-throughs, each person making as high quality sound recording as they can, simultaneously with skype (the incoming voices will be cut in editing), not pausing for mistakes, and avoiding talking over each other. That'll take an hour. Throw in an extra hour for general screwups/scheduling, etc. We're looking at several hours, yes. But it won't be per comic strip.
  5. Story Wednesday July 6, 2016

    Oh heavens, if I'd had a creative writing class half as useful as that I wouldn't think it was the most useless thing I've ever done. We spent half the time talking about prose poetry and precious little on actual methods of producing a story worth reading.
  6. Story Wednesday July 6, 2016

    Panel 4 resembles certain Zelda concept art. I suspect all the panels are.
  7. Story Friday July 1, 2016

    Misread that as 'misogynistic ponification'. For stallions only! Anyway, LFG really turned me off. Including a character from it in a central-ish role damaged my opinion of Big Human on Campus (Ranma / Rosario crossover fanfic)
  8. What Are You Listening To?

    Britten - War Requiem - Sanctus Prokofiev - 6th symphony Rachmaninov - 2nd symphony Prokofiev - Piano Concerto 3
  9. There was a study done to see how interest people were in experiencing the opposite gender. Turns out, it was something that - in the hypothetical - a lot of people were interested in. 30% of people would go so far as to choose to reincarnate as the other gender. http://www.utpjournals.press/doi/abs/10.3138/cjhs.252-A7
  10. EGS Strip Slaying

    Wow. I was just reading Bob and George, and bam you refer to it.
  11. Age Brackets (Bunny Demographics)

    You are around a week older than me.
  12. So wait, you had three opponents. With Hive mind in place, one cast prosperity and then on their turn another cast Windfall? Why didn't the one who played prosperity have only 7 cards in hand at that point?
  13. OOP CMD Regulations

    Wait. He said 'methods'. I wonder if the term 'method' was meant in the OOP sense, which basically boils down to 'function of an object and perhaps some other arguments'. In other worse, the restriction might be very narrow - 'do not execute this algorithm on this data type'. Which, incidentally, I think has the potential to be a reasonable restriction, depending on the algorithm and data type (if you implement a sentient being, say) I'm pretty sure that's not what was meant, but there's wiggle room for it to be that, if an author (Dan or a fic-writer) wanted to interpret it that way.
  14. Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)

    Makes perfect sense. The most rabid homophobes are self-hating. They have their noses rubbed in the issue day in, day out. Hypothetically, this guy suffered the horrors of guilt over doing what his body told him to do. He couldn't take the contradiction anymore.
  15. OOP CMD Regulations

    I meant, using certain OOP practices with CMDs. So even OOP with CMD would be OK as long as you didn't do certain things with it.
  16. OOP CMD Regulations

    I thought it wasn't OOP in general, just certain OOP that was banned.
  17. What Are You Listening To?

    There are a few OC remixes of that, both quite good. This one is HUGE, though. I can't tell if it repeats,or keeps on doing different variations, without listening more carefully than I can right now. ... okay, I think it began repeating.
  18. Age Brackets (Bunny Demographics)

    Rowling's aging the stories with the readers was nice at the time, but now it's awkward because my 7 year old wants me to read him Goblet of Fire. That one might be okay, but Order of the Phoenix is definitely going to have to wait a couple years.
  19. EGS Strip Slaying

    I laughed at the time. It came back to me and I laughed at this hours later, startling my coworker. Great.
  20. Word of Dan Discussion

    If you check the comic almost every day, that makes you a regular reader by definition of 'regular reader'
  21. Word of Dan Discussion

    I understand that he was really, REALLY aware of the problems.
  22. Once upon a time, there was a personality quiz which identified your best-matching EGS character. I think we could do that again. I can program the quiz easily enough - the hard part is the content: questions and scores for each character for each question. We can start with the most-main characters and expand. - I propose that we look at a pair of characters and propose a question that would distinguish them well. Then, we figure out how other characters would answer (for those we have a definite answer). Narrow the answers down a bit, and then score each answer for each character (if we don't know how the character would answer, score will be near 0; answers they would definitely not make would score negative). We then repeat with another pair of characters - preferably two with similar answers so far, or no scores far from 0 - and repeat (toward the end I can guide our choice of characters by doing some statistics to see who looks most similar). - Also, we'll need new banners. - If it turns out to be reasonable to add lots of people, we can have multiple versions of characters based on which part of their character development you match best. This won't be too bad, since we can mostly reuse scores with a few tweaks. 2016 Nanase is still a lot like 2008 Nanase. - But, we will still need to come up with a score for every answer of every question for each character we add, AND the number of questions and answers will need to increase as we add more characters - though, importantly, that increase can be sub-linear, and for more-fun-more-questions sake, we will probably have them sufficiently overspecified that we don't need to add more questions quickly as we add in characters. What do you all think?
  23. A new Which EGS Character Are You quiz

    One thing to keep in mind on moving targets - we can have separate like-ness entries for the same character at different times. Past Elliot is less likely to change than current Elliot (the remaining cases are further exposition that isn't character development, like flashbacks or when Tedd pulled out the TF gun for the first time)
  24. Favorite Quotes

    Ah yes, the illusion of short inferential distances.
