    The Destiny poster in the background got me thinking how funny it would've been if that patch before TTK just replaced all the ghost's lines with painfully awkward silence.

    You guys ruined it. You appended text to the comic. But then, I suppose Jerrisophine also did this with his newspost. Since you guys broke the hearts, so to speak, I guess there's no reason not to keep going.

    On the comic, I find myself in the same camp as Sir T. Braheshire Esq. III and can relate to having mixed relations with people who would side with Gabrullo Thrice-Illiterate. It's not often a problem, but when it is, it can be hard for either party to communicate that there's a problem.

    On the post.
    I’m always trying to reverse engineer the creator of a game via what I perceive in their work - even though I know that’s not necessarily a viable methodology
    I do something similar. I dabble in modding games that were never intended to be modded and as such were not designed to be conducive to that end. In literal reverse engineering, I picked up the involuntary practice of trying to figure out what people were thinking when designing something; not of a specific individual, perhaps a team of people, the suppositive discussions behind the decision to manifest something in a given way. This has extended beyond games, unfortunately, and now I sometimes ponder the group mentality of focus groups who look at home shopping garbage and say "I'd spend money on that." With effort, I'm able to break away from this possession and focus it only on stuff I actually know about, but it's still incredibly annoying. I do hope I'm not the only person afflicted in such a way.

    Great comic as always. You folks have a lovely night.

    I was listening to the podcast for this and learned something new today: Apparently a large number of people (including Mike in this case) pronounce Chell's name like "shell".

    Just gonna leave this here. (Spoiler: it's "tschell")
