Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

I wonder if it's as helpful for sore throats as honey in tea? Probably not as good as Vicodin for a sore throat, but soothing nonetheless. Dr. Jennifer House. :shifty: I actually haven't taken a Vicodin in a very long time. I just remember that after VH, Jr. was born, I had a ton left over from my ...

Re: clash images washed up on the internet's seashore

Brigs isn't certain on the photo. He thinks it's 80 and that Joe's hair is buzzed, not slicked back like early 82. Hopefully he can chime in here directly. The main issue I have is with Paul's hair vs. Joe's. It's close, but doesn't match the Fridays hair. I'm back to thinking that it's from 1980. ...

Re: AI-yi-yi

From what I've seen, AI art works by taking pieces of whatever art it can find based on the prompt and mashing it all together, to the point where I've seen people post AI art they've discovered in the wild within which they've noticed their own work kind of blatantly obviously ganked. Whereas a cou...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

I guess I might conjecture that comics themselves are niche enough that I don't know if they'd attract casual readers in the first place. I certainly rarely see them in the shops, which are mostly filled with regulars. I suppose they might be buying trades at Barnes and Noble. Definitely, definitel...

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?

1280x1280.jpg The recently released new LP by The Church, The Hypnogogue. It's deep, dense, post-punk psychedelia. Steve Kilbey's lyrics are still cryptic and weird. The band musically has been reinvigorated with the addition of 2 new members, giving this LP maybe their best guitar work in years. T...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

Traditionalists who value the old style of single-issue or two-issue stories cock an eyebrow at you. And, somewhat in sympathy to them, if you're requiring over a year to tell your story, you're telling the casual reader to fuck off. That's not a good business model. Ardent fans might love that kin...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

Primary among these is one that I mentioned earlier, that long-form storytelling has gone almost out the window. Most series are 12 issues max anymore, and I find that it's kind of hard to tell a good story with such a limitation. Traditionalists who value the old style of single-issue or two-issue...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

I want to be clear here that I'm not judging anyone for what they do on this topic, I've pirated plenty in my time as well and still do—I'm kind of dense when it comes to economics so I'm just trying to get a better handle on the counterarguments for the following (also to be clear, I'm speaking mo...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

Just scraped by another round of layoffs at my org this morning. We just had the previous round in 2019, so it seems things are not very healthy. I was sure I was going to be on the block if we had another one but looks like I made it again somehow. My old manager from the team I used to be on befo...
