Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease

[Anecronwashere]

That isn't all she has.
She defs has it, but I have asbergers and I'm not That weird... Well I am, but it's different.

She either has some form of autism or Asbergers + Something

[Radar]

She seems to be too socialy open for any form of autism. On the other hand, her complete lack of friends before the library internship is probably not without a reason.

[Astrella]

*cough*

I don't think playing backseat psychology is really useful here.

[Anecronwashere]

You'd be surprised how some autism people can function, especially after years of trying to fit in.

My cousin has Autism and he deals pretty well socially, not a suave charisma 18 guy but alright.
He does have the habits of his, like having to open and close every cupboard when he walks in or through his kitchen but socially he can keep friends

[Cikomyr]

Are you talking about the section where you have to break up into three teams and stop the troops from reaching bannon at the back while you try to get to the commander at the other side? Those events are always fun.

Nah, not yet. We are simply escaping through the waterfalls, while Locke went to infiltrated occupied South Figaro.

Is there much point equiping Sabin with advanced weapons? Or his Blitz techniques actual depend on Battle power?

I'd like very much to agree. Nothing good ever happens from hobby psychology discussion...

Sabin's Blitzes mostly depend - big surprise - on his magic stat. Only two, I think Pummel and Suplex(?) depend on his strength, iirc. So, no need for weapons, mostly, just put him in the back row, boost his magic later on and fire Aura Bolts until you get Bum Rush.
And now enough FF VI, awesome as it is. Look for a walkthrough or write a PN in the future, please.

Oh god I love the narshe river escape. Get a turbo controller, put bannons group heal as his first option then tap down the action button and the left direction and bam, permanent never ending leveling loop. I once left my game running for like 8 hours and came back 30+ levels higher. It was hilarious.

Frikkin' Ultro. He 1-shots Banon...

[Traab]

Bah, not when bannon is an extra 30 levels higher! Then we get first shot and ULTROS dies in one hit. Shoe is on the other foot, aint it squidward?!

[Marnath]

Why is everyone always so quick to guess asperger's or autism? You can be strange and not have any of those things. There's a whole spectrum out there between the extremes of actual conditions and so-called "normality."

[Yuki Akuma]

Level grinding in FFVI in the first half of the game: the absolute worst thing you can do.

You only get stat increases when you level up with an Esper equipped. >.>

What? NO! You always get stats up. It's just a waste to get too many before getting espers. But most of the game can easily be handled without any esper power ups if you know what you are doing.

I found the solution. I never used the "row" command before, turns out to be quite useful to protect key party members who don't use the "attack" button.

Reduced incoming damage by about half. I won easily once I figured that out.


Yay! Update!!

Never stop dreaming, Pintsize. Follow your dreams wherever they might lie.

Okay.......


Well, a quick search results in the quite impressive number of 1.43 billion hits for porn on google. (Considering that is only the amount related to the English language for the most part I feel free to take ten times that amount. Of course not all those pages actually contain porn but let's say 1% does which is probably a little low estimate. Now we assume that every site has about... a few thousand entries on average we get up to the range of a few hundred billion things, images, videos, stories that would be considered porn. Which is more than there are people on earth. Now, I'm not sure if I made too many bad estimates or whether Freud really was right about humans...

Well, by definition our desire to be snuggy-bunnies has kind of be ingrained in our subconscient as we are the descendent of people who were the most likely and enthusiast about having children in the first place. Humans who weren't that much into sex did not really had the chance of passing on their genes.

edit: and seeing as cooking/food website is the 2nd most popular topic on the internet, I believe the same argument could be made. Internet is just a very blunt mirror of our basic instincts.

[Marnath]

Stats are completely irrelevant once you get to the point where everything you do does 9999 damage.

Okay.......

I'd be surprised if the amount is that low. Even after you factor in how many of those hits lead to different parts of the same site(like how googling certain D&D terms can lead you to like a dozen pages here) I bet the percent is still way more than 1%.

[Cikomyr]

Yhea, but we are talking about at the early games. At that time, we don't do 9999 damage per hit.

You must just not have ever leveled up that high then.

[Cikomyr]

Not all of us have this compulsion to grind endlessly.

Some of us wants to get through the story...

[Morph Bark]

Stats off which damage is based, yes. Stuff that gives you more hp or mp is always good.

[Comrade]

I think Jeph's comment in the newspost aptly sums up anything I could have said about today's comic.

[Yuki Akuma]

I do always like it when Pintsize shows that, yes, he does care about Marten.

[Turalisj]

The same kind of caring that a deranged puppy who alternates between chewing up everything you own and pooping in your shoes shows, but caring nonetheless.

[Morph Bark]

I do always like it when Pintsize shows that, yes, he does care about Marten.

Ditto that. I actually like it when characters otherwise not very likeable (or they are likeable, just not very moral) show such depths that they normally hide.

[Kato]

Interesting how Pintsize not only comments on his own situation and relationship to Marten but also on the overall dynamics of the comic that started out as "A boy and his android" and now is... pretty much just a regular webcomic with some weird SciFi once in a while. And lots of crazy people, but what webcomic has a cast that's not made of crazy people?

I always felt the comic only really started with Faye entering the picture. Anything else was merely setup.

Therefore, the comic for me started as "elitist hipster musical reference" with dabbling in personal relationships. I hated the former, loved the later.

[Anecronwashere]

I just did am archive bing

You can really tell the difference, the style andfocus expanded as Pintsize dropped away and became more, Im going to say Human but that's not exactly true...
He became more realized, fleshed out.
He became less of the source of Funnies and causing about 1/2 the character conflict with Faye and Marten to actually exploring what an Anthro would do. While maintaining his character too.

Like the whole thing about the Singularity, "I WILL BECOME PORN!" is classic Pintsize but he actually deals with the whole thing from an Anthro point of view
He started getting a social life among the Anthros at the same time the cast expanded, Marten getting a social life and maturing as a person allowed Pintsize to do other things, to become a side-character in the comic but do more off-screen.

Basically: he won. He did his job as an AnthroPC to a Human and then found and did some Off-Screen goals
Like watching all the porn on the net.

[Othniel Edden]

I'd very much like to know why Marten and Pintsize decided to enter into a contract together. Was it an immaturity that Marten grew out of or is there something else there?

[Yuki Akuma]

Maybe Pintsize was younger and less... Pintsize than he is now?

And now, well, Marten likes him, so he's not about to dissolve the contract.

[Cikomyr]

Hmm.. so Pintsize was with Marten since 2 years before he met his buddy...

So, when he was still in California?
