Re: ArcFlash Labs' GR-1 Anvil Portable Gauss Rifle

Just had a few ideas: "rifles are not a suitable countermeasure against drones" - well this rifle might be, because the drones cannot afford heavy shielding against an EMP. :D But there may be better ways to create an EMP. Also regarding the EMP: The rifle as it is now has a plastic casing. It shoul...

Re: Outsider Versus Other Webcomics

While I won't judge, You won't? ;) :P Ahem. this is a wholly different category of comics altogether. So it is. That's what I said, too. About "sex sells", indeed, but Grrl Power surely is not a porn comic. The most "porny" thing is Dabbler, being a succubus, and Deus... But the main character Sydn...

Re: Outsider Versus Other Webcomics

... To each their own but that was too insulting for my taste. Grrl Power is at or near Number One on the TopWebComicList since... years? There might be a reason for that. Achilles' (the blonde guy) face alone on the latest page of now... I'm not comparing, though. There is no comparison, the comic...

Re: Page 214: Ready for boarding action!

It needs to be usable by people in heavy armor and bulky environmental suits. The fingers of which may be restricted by a trigger guard. My first thought was "My, no personalized weapon." So that's the reason for that. Why would an ultra-tech weapon need a trigger guard? The weapon requires energy ...

Typo detected in chapter II

"They do seem to be targeting the destroyers first. I would've been a problem if all" ->
"They do seem to be targeting the destroyers first. It would've been a problem if all"

You (still) want errors and typos to be reported, right?

Re: Page 188: Get down from there Alex!

*explaining ideas* So I did some more research on bubble styles and digital techniques, and I saw some really interesting examples. Unfortunately, Photoshop can't do all the tricks with vector shapes that Illustrator does (which is what most professional letterers use), so I came up with is a combi...

Re: page 178: Beryl's time of her life

Friendly reminder... while we may like her, Alex most definitely does not. You know, for reasons. Which reminds me of the most burning (pun not intended) question I have since then: How much did they get out of him?? They managed to telepathically clamp his eyes shut and even stop his breathing, so...

Re: 177: What do you miss?

Yep, she's already huddling up to conserve body heat. Now I half expect Talon to mak...

Re: 177: What do you miss?

Grass...is tamed not domesticated. Unless one refers to wheat and cereals an perhaps bamboo. It doesn't differ from wild varieties, it's only trimmed and maintained in a certain way. Do you really think that distinction is important in the context of Alex's dialogue with aliens who know nothing abo...

Anise is strong repellant for me, you can add Pernod to the drinks I won't go near, even the thought of it makes me shiver. But I have no problem with licorice of all sorts, I don't find the a...

Perhaps the best way to describe a human-like intellect is "Would you, as a european or american, feel comfortable cutting this being up and eating it" And then: How was that supposed to work in any case O_o? - There may still be cannibals somewhere in the jungle.

Re: 174-175: Got milk?

I think there's a limited amount of "fine manipulation" you can do with the body of a trunk or tentacle. If you need fine manipulation on two objects at once, as is the case with much tool use (such as knapping flint), I think it would be significant handicap to skill if you have to wrap one of the...

But my point is that birds appeared 85 million years before the extinction, not after. Birds and pterosaurs and other dinosaurs coexisted for almost the whole dinosaur period. That was something that I found surprising as a youth: I had thought of flight as an advanced feature that must have appear...
