By Crom! is my joke-a-panel autobiographical comic featuring life advice and spiritual guidance from Conan the Barbarian. It ran from January 2012 to May 2014, and is collected in two books, The Collected By Crom! and Full Colour Cromulence. You can read the archives on WealdComics.com, and grab the books in print and in PDF.

By Crom! will be tabling with Weald Comics at TCAF, VanCAF, TAAFI and possibly FanExpo Toronto!

So many years later, and I still love these comics.

[wantonlywindswept]

googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly

[wantonlywindswept]

oho and now you’re questioning my adverb usage? you? you?

you fucking dare?

[wantonlywindswept]

you try to change ‘tears’ to ‘years’ for no reason but don’t catch ‘imporint’???

[wantonlywindswept]

hey quick question gdocs

what the fuck

[wantonlywindswept]

1. how the fuck did this post become so popular

2. everyone just commenting ‘QUERCHED’ is delightful

3. some people have suggested i use grammarly. this is letting the robots win and also would deprive me of the opportunity to complain about insignificant technical things instead of just wanting to scream over writing all the time

4. i use googledocs because i want access to my writing on multiple platforms and also because fuck microsoft 

5. the difference between [its] and [it’s] is that [it’s] is always used as a shortened form of [it is] and [its] is used as the possessive of [it]. yes, this goes against the usual practice of just tacking on an [‘s] when you want to indicate ownership. yes, english is absolutely a trash language.

[wantonlywindswept]

btw, gdoc’s most recent transgression:

noooope

[wantonlywindswept]

LITERALLY THE EXACT OPPOSITE MEANING OF WHAT I WANT, GDOCS

[wantonlywindswept]

i’m sorry what kind of AI FUCKERY is going on here that you are trying to ADD IN ADVERBS FOR ME that could ENTIRELY CHANGE THE TONE from a neutral ‘He’d been young’ to something that would put emphasis on just how young he was and how long ago it was you cannot just THROW EXTRA WORDS IN LIKE THAT

‘he’d been so young’ I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU

[wantonlywindswept]

OH MY FUCKING GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS

me @ everyone else using googledocs:

YOU

I just listened to a podcast with an A.I. research scientist. She said if you wouldn’t trust autocorrect to be in charge of a decision, then you shouldn’t trust another A.I. with it, so… that’s something to worry about

[elfwreck]

Grammarly is not better.

My takeaway.

[queer-as-city-folk]

While there is a certain romance to steam locomotives, I see no reason to preserve the polluting, ugly, inefficient monsters we call diesel locomotives, electrified trains or hell even battery electrific and hydrogen are all better ways to power a train than diesel

[queer-as-city-folk]

Even so, hydrogen and battery electritric both suck do a certain explosiveness, and battery electritics needing to recharge, making electrified rail or Pantagraphs the only real practical way to power a train

[lillyofthefern]

what about a giant solid fuel booster on the back of the train, would that work?

[queer-as-city-folk]

We are not doing turbojet trains again, they were a mistake in the 70s and are a mistake now
