that-house

Untitled.

i made a comic in google slides for some ungodly reason

that-house

the long-awaited sequel, Untitled #2

that-house

Untitled #3 explores the formulaic entertainment mass-produced by the pawns of capitalism. Or I just wanted to say ass. One of the two.

that-house

Untitled #4: the plot thiccens. also there’s a plot apparently

that-house

Untitled #5. This whole comic is 23 strips long, and I’ll be doing daily uploads until it’s all posted. Thanks for the great response y’all.

that-house

Untitled #6. Okay so firstly, HOLY FUCK Y’ALL. I did NOT expect this comic to get notes, let alone fanart. The most recent strip will always be linked at the bottom of my pinned post, so you can check there to see if you’re caught up.

that-house

Untitled #7. Not much to say here. I hope you’re having a good day!

that-house

Untitled #8. The true plot begins.

that-house

Untitled #9. The Creator can possess Red because I, like Red, have a phenomenal ass. That’s it. It’s not that deep.

that-house

Untitled #10. *slaps roof of blue square* this bad boy can fit so much fucking existential despair

that-house

Untitled #11. Bet you didn’t expect the ass jokes comic to come to this now did you

that-house

Untitled #12. Red is fucking pissed at me. sorry buddy

that-house

Untitled #13. I indeed cannot have a comic without characters. Well played, Red.

that-house

Untitled #14. Red has his priorities straight.

that-house

Untitled #15. It would be funny if this were the last strip but I promise it isn’t. I put too much effort into the end of the comic to stop it now.

that-house

Untitled #16. Nice try, Red. Nice try.

that-house

Untitled #17. The paradox of omnipotence perpetually vexes me :(

that-house

Untitled #18. Let’s not have any ambiguity: Red’s dead. Hey, that rhymes! Neat!

that-house

Untitled #19. While strip 18 coincidentally did fall on April Fool’s, it wasn’t a prank. This comic has two characters now. Remember when this comic was about ass jokes?

that-house

Untitled #20. Three more strips to go. Holy shit.

that-house

Untitled #21. ass haha

that-house

Untitled #22. What am I going to do? Who knows… Find out tomorrow at roughly 8:30 AM EST!

that-house

Untitled #23.

LOL so after getting tagged in this post over and over, I decided to draw it XDDD Original post here: http://forever-painting-roses.tumblr.com/post/183370006868/hades-babe-whats-wrong-persephone-drunk

Hades: babe what's wrong?

Persephone, drunk, scratching two of cerberus' heads, weeping: I don't have enough hands

if you don’t know the difference between a hare and a rabbit you’ve never gazed into the cold wild eyes of a hare and known that if it could speak it would speak backwards

gallusrostromegalus

Jack Rabbits are North American Hares and they’re the WORST to encounter at night becuase:

You all know how big a rabbit is. Jack Rabbits and hares are much bigger. they’re the size of large cats or small dogs or just-walking-age children.

They also like to hang out in gangs of a hlf dozen to over 30.

and in the middle of backcountry dirt roads.

perhaps they’re dustbathing

or blood sacrifce

I don’t know because when you come up the road at night because your dog has a tiny bladder and needs to go out at midnight and you have no yard so you’re walking him on the dirt road around your neighborhod because you might aw well get some stargazing in, and you come just over the ridge to see a coven of twenty jackrabbits in the middle of the road

and

they

all

stand

not just onto all fours like a proper prey animal

No they get up on thier hind legs and don’t just sit but STAND like tiny rabbit-skinned toddlers, wobbing slightly as they stare directly at you eyes shining in your flashlight’s glow

…Blood Red.

And a chill goes through you on that warm july night because while they’re a puntable size and allegedly herbivores they’re standing and watching you just like people and you are vastly outnumbered.

everyone freezes

you’re considering your odds aganst roughly 200lbs of Suspiciously Humanoid Hare

and they’re considering their odds against you

the only sound in the never-ending high desert wind

somewhere in your peripheral vision you can see the streetlights but they seem awfully far away

The nearest Jack Rabbit

Blinks

and takes a single shuffling step

forward

You area an overdevloped monkey and your prefrontal cortex is capable of some amazing feats but it runs very slowly compared to the reflexes of a rabbit and you’re frozen as you desperately scramble for the appropriate course of action, hands feeling thick and useless, mouth dry and feet imeasurably heavy there’s no way you’d outrun THESE, god there’s a rabies outbreak going around that shit’s not curable-

The Dog

L U N G E S

It’s only the briefest of movements but the animal you’d picked out for his gangly legs and floppy ears and goofy smile is suddenly a dark shape of muscle and teeth and had flung himself at the horrible goblin rabbits faster than mere physics should dictate, appearing in the circle of the flashlight for only the briefest of moments before the jolt from the leash makes you stumble and the light falters

The Jack Rabbits

Scatter

Vanishing into the faintly starlit sagebrush in as so many faint gray shapes that might be mistaken for the dustclouds they kick up

Later, you sit on the couch disquieted

and you wonder

If the sight of the Jack Rabbits standing and studying you was frightening enough to make you yearn for the safety of the yellowed streetlights

what must it be like from thier end?

what terrifying creature

deliberately ties itself

to something so horrible

As a Dog?

biomechanical-magitech

@gallusrostromegalus that last bit gave me such a strong mental image I absolutely had to draw it

gallusrostromegalus

WELL HOLY SHIT.

CONGRATULATE, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING FOR.

is it ok if I print it out and stick it on the fridge?

wizardpotions

I wonder if multilingual dnd characters work like multilingual people irl

Character 1: hey can you pass me the (demonic screeching)

Character 2: (visibly disturbed)

Character 1: (takes mundane object out of character 2s hands) sorry I forgot the word for it in common...

hayleyolivia

This made me laugh really hard. It deserved a comic. 😆

EDIT 11/29/2020: 7 years later I still get notifications about this dumb comic, and I hate it. Ugh, thanks guys, I guess.

So I can’t be the only person who abuses talk points? Which considering what your companions choose to talk causually about could look mighty odd to an outsider…

“The Future of BioWare - Back To Space”

“A look at the next Mass Effect.”

On the heels of a long-awaited remaster of the Mass Effect trilogy, BioWare now prepares its epic return to space. A veteran team is hard at work envisioning the next big Mass Effect game. Expect amazing new worlds to explore with memorable characters buoyed by the series’ signature choices and consequences.

“There’s an incredible universe of history to draw from, and many more stories for us to tell,” project director Mike Gamble says. “We’re focusing on creating something truly for the fans.”

I think these 3 pieces of art are new to us (correct me if I’m wrong). They were presented in the book along with the mudskipper image that came out with the blog post about the remaster and the next Mass Effect. They didn’t have captions. (All previously-seen concept art for the next Mass Effect is collected here.) What can we glean from these guys? 🔍👀

You’re a daycare worker, watching over toddlers, when the imminent end of the world is announced. It becomes increasingly clear none of the kids’ parents are going to show up as the end inches nearer.

[Audio starts]

“Mom has been texting me for the last twenty minutes. She wants me to come home. It’s a four hour drive, when the roads are clear, and from what I hear everybody is trying to get somewhere right now. There’s no telling if I’d even-”

“Everybody else has left. All the other kids were picked up, the other staff left. They gave me all the keys. I promised to stay and wait for as long as- well. Even if some of the parents show up, I guess some of them won’t, so I’m just waiting. Until.”

[Clears throat.]

“A couple of people came after everybody left. Peter, one of Aidan’s fathers, gave me three hundred dollars for staying. What am I going to do with money? It’s- anyway. I kind of get it. He wanted to give me something.”

[Audio ends]

[Audio starts]

“They’re all between 2 and 4.” Sniff. “They’re so little. Too little to really- maybe if they were older, I’d have to tell them something. But um. I’m just- trying to stay calm and keep them happy and occupied. I think that’s the best thing, right now.”

[Heaving breaths.]

“I normally use this recorder to help me remember stuff. It’s just, uh, habit to talk to it. I don’t know. They’re napping, right now. I’ve got the baby monitor, they know that if they talk into it, I’ll come, so-”

[Sobbing.]

[Audio ends]

[Audio starts]

“Mom keeps texting, so I blocked her. I sent her a text telling her goodbye, first, but. I do. But these kids need me.”

[Sniff.]

“I tried calling their parents again, but I can’t get anybody. It’s just busy signals. I called the firefighter station, 911. I can’t get through to anybody.”

[Shaky breath.]

“I went out into the yard. Um, I think they can play. It’s nice out, and you can’t really see it yet. Little bit of a glimmer, if they ask I’ll just tell them it’s a plane, but it’s nice out and we’ve got hours before-”

[Murmuring child’s voice, indistinguishable.]

[Audio ends]

Dragon Age development insights from David Gaider - PART 3

This information came from DG on a recent SummerfallStudios Twitch stream where he gave developer commentary while Liam Esler continued playing DAO from where they had left off in Part 1 and Part 2. I transcribed it in case there’s anyone who can’t watch the stream (for example due to connection/tech limitations, data, time constraints, personal accessibility reasons, etc). A lot of it is centered on DAO, but there’s also insights into other parts of the franchise. Some of it is info which is known having been put out there in the past, and some of it is new. There’s a bit of overlap or repetition with topics covered in Parts 1 and 2. This post leaps from topic to topic as it’s a transcript of a conversational format. It’s under a cut due to length.

The stream can currently be watched back here. Next week LE will be streaming a different DAO playthrough with commentary from another guest. Two weeks from now LE and DG will return to continue this playthrough for another stream session like this one.

Maric: Loghain, I have a son.

Loghain: …It’s alright, Maric.

Maric: His mother’s an elf.

Loghain, taking a deep breath: We’ll work through this.

Maric: Also, she’s a mage.

Loghain, through gritted teeth: This will all work out.

Maric: And a Grey Warden.

Loghain, internally screaming: I support you no matter what.

Maric: She’s also Orlesian.

Loghain: This is unforgivable.

Today’s problem

carbisari

big comfy piles of pillows

basiliskfree

Well, that don’t work in the scene I’m doing it’s too cute not to draw.

carbisari

noivern

rareandradiant-maiden

citrus-adventures

Wait elongated chairs y’all. Eight chair legs instead of one, they can lie down majestically and put their chins on the table like they were always meant to.
