Re: Page 188: Get down from there Alex!

Maybe that process needed for actual printing, but for now looks like Photoshop is enough for web distribution.
The only issue I've seen in downscaling of pixel aligned fonts like that used for umiak.

But one of the upsides going forward is that I have three mostly-finished pages in the buffer.
You mean that on Patreon or there is another buffer?

Re: The Forums are Restored.

That's why I think unread is better. If i missed some updated topics during last visit, new posts doesn't show them, but unread do. Also if I read some posts during login session, unread wouldn't show them again.

Re: The Forums are Restored.

That said, I can't imagine that there are a lot of posts with 0 views that are worth searching for. My guess is that the intent is to exclude posts made by bots that haven't yet been authorized (since this version requires that all new users' first post be manually validated by a moderator before i...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

Arioch, thank you for the detailed answer. I was interested in the general direction of Loroi actions (would they invisibly observe, technologically enlighten, etc) not a full alternative history.

Re: How to Make Mecha Work in a realish setting

I have a feeling that war planes today are used only if enemy have no weapons to oppose them (or the attacker believes they have no weapons). Because anti air missiles are much cheaper than planes and very efficient. The same with tanks - there is no tank army vs tank army fights as was in WW2. And ...

What would Loroi do if their scout reached humanity now?
I mean, when there is no Umiak and they leave in peace for 200 hundred years.

Re: How to Make Mecha Work in a realish setting

But vertical landing rockets? The US did that on the moon in the 1960s! Okay, yes, less gravity, but then McDonnell Douglas did the Delta Clipper prototype in the early 1990s... so it's definitely been out there for a while. The primary nemesis of the idea is politics and entrenched interests, whic...

Re: How to Make Mecha Work in a realish setting

Seriously though... how about we settle this argument when mechs are actually a thing? This is getting stupid. I think everyone can agree that mechs require at least a little suspension of disbelief. Can you make "realistic" fiction with them? Sure. Are they going to be created in real life? Probab...
