She's switched voice bubbles in previous strips.... I interpreted it as her black voice bubbles portray a ghostly, otherwordly sound, while her white voice bubbles are how she normally sounds like.
Game fans: "60 FPS it's just 60 FPS forever, 60 frames and their adventures, forever a hundred years, 60 and frames running around... and 60 frames time all day long forever - a hundred times 60 frames per second dotcom, every minute 60 frames, dot com"
Also game fans: "Why these textures not very good now?"
Most of use cant really tell the difference between 60 and 30 as long as its consistent but if you say its less than 60 heads will roll
I just adjust to whatever framerate it is, I don't even notice after about ten minutes playing. Like, OoT's framerate is abysmal (20? 25?) but I can't even see it after leaving the first area.
I used to play a game back in like, 1997 or so, called Tanarus. At the time I didn't even have a videocard so I had to use the shittiest settings for the game and it still ran like ass (I don't know what kinda FPS I was getting, but 20ish with dips lower sounds about right). Add to that the fact that our speakers stopped working so I just played the game in silence, unable to hear enemies coming up on me. Oh, and dialup internet and all the joys that could bring. One of my friends was actually angry at me for playing like that, he said there was something wrong with me lol

My cousin was shocked the first time he saw Diablo II run on my computer. His framerate was so bad that he pretty much played the entire game in slow-mo. On the bright side, he'd been Matrix-dodging around fireballs the whole time.

Yeah I was under the impression that she wasn't technically all the way there, and was also somewhere else holding that thing in place best she could, so the black bubbles was here in her ghostly "Not here" voice.

Oh geez, I forgot that she had a crush on him back then. Yeah that's kind of a slap in the face, Carver.

Just a supremely clenched fist digging fingernails into the palm. Tony is not as emotionless as they seem.

Yeah. He was stressing out so much he was digging his nails in, either to distract himself or because he couldn’t deal with his emotions.

As I recall the point was to show that Annie had been doing the same thing.

My own mind has warped my memory to believe Tony is a sinister emotionless monster and his inclusion in the cast has always thrown me, every new page.

Tony is incredibly relatable and he knows he has fucked up, he is just not emotionally capable of dealing with it in a healthy manner.
Hell of a poker face though, which is what convinces people he's so placid about everything despite his mind probably being a raging storm.
I think his main deal is that he shuts down whenever he has to face more than one person, he's been shown to be a pretty okay guy whenever he's dealing with someone one-on-one

He's got his own separate set of issues when it comes to his daughter. Two separate but complimentary sets of mental baggage.

It’s impossible not to see a lot of parallels between Gunnerkrigg and Harry Potter. It’s impressive how much better at being an amalgam of her parents Annie ends up being than Harry.

I find many things impressive about Gunnerkrigg. One of my favorite parts is how the story keeps firing off Chekhov's Gun. Annie falling into the chasm as shown in the flashback in the previous chapter happened back in 2006.
ABANDON just throws out stuff like this every 3 or 4 days:
“A swordsman is at his most natural state when he thinks of nothing at all. Thoughtlessness is the natural state of things, and thinking is probably the biggest mistake of amateurs. By completely disavowing use of that pesky organ in your skull all that is left is the hard and old nerves in the body that think about deep and consequential things such as survival. They know exactly what to do, and they are smarter than you. You become a completely naturalistic and comfortable animal, who’s only motivation is the killing impulse.
To give you an example, I once spent the better part of a summer afternoon killing thirty five men from the Kagen Amat school who had been sent to execute me, returned home, and I had made most of supper before I came back to myself. I remember the incident poorly but several of the men were almost certainly master swordsmen who had studied the blade for most of their lives, and I unfortunately was still an idiot at that time and had taken no weapon with me. I ended up using a piece of driftwood I picked out of the surf. It was quite pleasant and not difficult at all.
Some people think my story an exaggeration and that I had a hidden blade on me or had used perfidious tricks such as poison or several of my friends hidden in ambush. I tell you no such thing is true. I started my afternoon out taking a shit on the beach and I ended up decapitating fifteen men.

Oh also I didn't realize "oh you're Eglamore's kid" is a running joke. It also happened here.

On my sleeve, let the runway start
To be fair to Tony, Surma was the one who initiated the relationship.
It is actually impressive how much the opinion of Eglamore and Tony have basically swapped since the start of the comic

AND THIS IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND
although I guess this scene might be more appropriate
not sure what white chain's core drill equivalent would be though
Makes me think of Jotaro in Za Warudo stopped time
