    So, this comic is actually #5 in a 6-part series. One that’s gone increasingly ridiculous as it’s progressed.

    The villain here is Lasso Man. The lasso tool is a selection tool, a way to select something by drawing around it, letting you do whatever you want to the selection. In this comic, Lasso Man is using his power to take parts of other people and add them onto himself, gaining their powers.

    In panel 5, we see he took the powers of Copy and Paste, who were featured in a previous comic. We’re also introduced to Cut in that comic.

    in panel 2, the guy in Green is Undo/Redo/whatever.

    In panel 6, we get a few more characters. The guy in red is Slice, which is like an upgraded version of Crop. It’s used to slice up an image into pieces that you can do stuff with.

    The dude in orange with the purple helmet is presumably the Spraypaint function, which is a type of painting tool with a customizable “brush”. The one with the drop I guess is Liquify, which is a type of filter that let’s you distort images.

    Panel 11 is confusing without context. See that purple arm? It belonged to Paint Bucket Man. He can fill in selected areas with a specific color. In this case, turning that woman solid “stone”.

    In panel 14, the dude uses Generative Fill, which can be best described as asking an AI to fill in this section, hence the weird finger results.

    Finally, we’ve got the wizard up next. He uses the Magic Wand tool, which is another selection tool that basically uses “AI” to determine what you want to select. With this tool, you can adjust its tolerance to determine how little or how much it considers worth selecting. In this case, the wizard turns the tolerance all the way, telling it to as much as possible.

    Then he deletes it.

    Best part is, there’s still one last comic left.















  • I can agree with that. In fact, I just played the System Shock remake and found it quite enjoyable. It kept the same vibe and feel while just updating the cosmetic aspects and having a few QoL changes for some of the mechanics. The maps and story felt the same, and I enjoyed the nostalgic feel of playing it again.

    Maybe I wouldn’t mind an alpha centauri remake. They’d only have to update the cosmetics and the UI, after all.






  • Why can’t the DNC run a better candidate?

    What other candidate has won a presidency already?

    And why can’t the GOP run a better candidate? One who’s younger and isn’t a convicted felon?

    Sure vote for the 81 year old husk but why defend him?

    There’s a difference between defending him and disputing you. If he was anyone else and you were still saying the same argument, I’d still be disputing your point.

    If trump wins its his fault for running such a miserable option for the “not trump” side

    No, this is equivalent to victim blaming. If Trump wins, it’s because of Trump and the people who voted for him.

    If trump is really so bad that we cannot let him get elected, why not just run an easy win with a competent nobody candidate with Brandon’s moderate nothing platform

    And this is the part that lets me know you’re acting in bad faith. I wouldn’t expect another reply from me if I were you. Have fun under that bridge.
