you must blow on icosahedrons for their favor

but it has some really good moments too

like in 2014 there was a comic that was found to be the most favorite comic in a 2019 egs community survey

it just takes some time to get there

oh yeah, sorry, it does get better

it becomes more of what it is today story-wise after painted black

i forget when the more blatant sexism things end, and if it matters, the gender transformation stuff doesn't stop. it also has 2006-era terminology for the first few years, and i cannot make that more comfortable, but that does get better too

i don't remember the sexism being worse than in the intro comics

egs had its 3000th story comic today

xkcd worry was temporary and lasted only 10 minutes

it just posted

but that was like a 242 minute difference

and the past few times it's been like 225

but i haven't been keeping track of that very much before like yesterday, so it could be normal

yes

there should have been a new frame by now ono ono

i do not understand ;-;

haha i made it ncurses instead of just output to console

so

i put tofu in my salad

but i do not put salad dressing on my salad bc i have never tried salad dressing

this has resulted in dry salad

but then

they changed the tofu

and now the tofu is juicy/watery

so my salad is not dry

it is very good

100th frame

my mind was never ok but now it is not ok but even more

it is my absolute most confident prediction that the thing in the top-right corner is a cloud and not a plane-eating bird

the ocean must have doors

it is clearly a sound (geography)

there is a black patch in the lower right corner

i am luwusing it rn

the camera or the shape took a sharp turn (best viewed in the animation)

i am so tired of doing this and looking at the xkcd subreddit causes me to either lose hope in myself or people in general so everything is fine lol

it appears to be not a spider, because it appears to be disconnected on the left

just wanted you to know your existence is loved

i have viewed the memetic apioform page. i am happy now.

i have linked to that page on my website.

the spiders have 6 legs but we only see 2 right now so maybe it will not be

perhaps the red spiders are coming back

what if it is a rectangle with 3d projection

that would mean it is a rectangle

here is my xkcd countdown tracker

sdjkflajfkl7jflhslfh

if i am talking about megalovania, that is because i have my program play a song whenever i am disconnected from the internet. my computer disconnects from my access point due to access point issues, and song-playing was implemented to wake me up or alert me while i am already awake to reconnect my computer to the internet

i previously posted this on reddit, but it was far less popular than posts which contained only a screenshot of the countdown timer

after that, also on reddit, i posted a screenshot of the countdown timer and linked the website in the comments, and the post was popular

i have decided that i do not like this and apioforum > reddit

you do not have to read el goonish shive

it is not a requirement

also you should read el goonish shive it is good and coming up on its 20th anniversary in like a week

spoilers for stargate and egs

also maybe star trek at the end

The immortals in EGS are the same general thing as the Ancients/Ori (ascended beings) in Stargate. It is just that they have different self-imposed limitations and exist in different places.

Part 1

In the main EGS universe, the immortals have the law that they can only empower and guide people, and that they should reset (wipe most of their memories) every so often.

In an alternate EGS universe, these beings are called ancients (iirc) and have a different law thingy. Might reset, idk.

In the main Stargate universe, the Ancients have a similar empower/guide/non-interference rule, but do not have the reset thing.

If the immortals do the memory-wiping, but the Ancients don't, that could be why most of the Ancients are really not feeling mentally up to any task, and why they don't do anything about anything. They've "seen so much in so many places, so many heartaches, so many faces," and they're just depressed.

Part 2

also iirc at least a couple of the Ancients were Greek or Roman gods, the "builders of the roads". it was SG-1 season 2, like The Fifth Race or something

There's an immortal who calls himself Zeus after resetting, presumably every time he resets. It is possible that, long ago, he called himself Zeus and was the real Zeus until he named himself not to be Zeus anymore.

Part 3

In EGS, all magic users are descended from immortals. In Stargate as well, it seems like the magic user (Adria) is a child of the Ori and the human Vala.

Part 4

There's also something up with the Q from Star Trek. Both the Ancients (SG-1 season 7 or 8 finale?) and the Q (in Voyager) have brought humans to a corporeal representation of their reality. DeLancie Q had a child with magic powers, although I'm not sure that we've seen a Q have a child with a human.
