He used to go to any con that would invite him to do a panel on writing unique heroes and memorable villains. I remember a year he did not go to one of these when he wasn't invited to do a panel.

Didn’t he basically say that he thought that physical handicaps were good examples of character flaws? I never followed DD before it finished, so I’m only half remembering this stuff secondhand.

You know what, I know he’s doing a unbelievably lazy “no dialogue” thing here, but he’s really passing up an opportunity. Because Snout could easily talk here, he’s Deaf not Mute. And if Mookie knew any actual deaf people, he could play with this by having the speech bubble be odd, or have randomly bold/thin words to convey being unsure about pitch/volume.

....I’m writing fanfic again, gently caress. It’s just so easy while looking at this nothing to want to make it any way interesting.

But then that would raise questions. How did Snout learn to speak if he's deaf? Does that mean he used to be able to hear? How did he lose his hearing? Was it an accident, or did someone-

Oh no, I'm doing it, too!

I think it’s so easy because Mookie really hasn’t developed Snout at all yet. We know next to nothing about his life, and he certainly hasn’t done enough to establish himself as a real character.

He used to read/post on the Keenspot forums for the comic when it was hosted there. That place turned to mockery not long after the Storm of Souls arc, iirc. Mookie kind of withdrew from any fan engagement like that after a while. There's a pretty consistent pattern of the sincere discussion places turning to derision after a while that's kind of strange but also a bit of an interesting phenomenon for the comic.

Hahahaha holy poo poo that forum is STILL going and STILL hates his loving comic http://forums.keenspot.com/viewforum.php?f=73

Mookie, darling, baby, light of my eye..... I've said this before elsewhere and ill say it here once again: Literally having your characters write stuff out diegetically does not make it not dialogue. Also I've noticed that you traced or used a compass to draw the ship because you designed a big giant orb spaceship but cant free hand draw a circle.... Why do this to yourself, man ?

They apparently moved to Discord too lmao.

Oh I just remembered, during the Very Special Episode about how alterists aren't all bad Luna found out that even though her womb would bear no fruit, the eggs in her ovaries were extra magic and if they were implanted in someone else they'd take on the other person's DNA or something, and it'd be great for other infertile couples or let a surrogate carry a baby for her.

E- Also, they found out Dominic was infertile too so good work undermining any special sacrifice Luna had to bear for revitalizing the expansive plains of a nation

I’m actually...interested? In what this Orc wants. Obviously not the pages since they‘ve clearly been worthless this whole time, but maybe Snout will unwittingly lead him back to the Ink Witch and there’ll be tension as we see our hero traveling with a known danger.

Yeah I'm at least vaguely interested in what the motivations of this character are, because at least it's a character with some kind of agenda besides Snout, whose priorities make no sense. It would have made sense to introduce him before Snout started finding the pages or Ink Witch, to establish a credible threat and give Snout an actual motivation to collect them.

Huh, I like the villain of this comic more than the hero. Where has that happened before?

Also, again, where the gently caress is the Ink Witch? Is that her ship? If so, why did she destroy his house? Has she been kidnapped? If so, why is her priority the pages and not her rescue?

AI Dungeon 2
AI Dungeon 2 is a completely AI generated text adventure built with OpenAI's largest GPT-2 model. It's a first of it's kind game that allows you to enter and will react to any action you can imagine.

Everything in bold I wrote, everything else is generated.

Your name is Dominic Deegan, Oracle for Hire. You live in some backwater village
where all the jocks don't understand you. One you walk out of your house and
see
a bunch of people standing around talking about how they're going to kill
each other today
> Say "You're going to waste your lives that I so generously saved over and over? How, how ungrateful."

"I'm sorry, but I can't help you if you won't listen!"

The crowd laughs at this remark. They laugh at it because it's true. If you had
listened to me, we would have been able to save yourselves from death
> Cast a spell to make a big scary illusion that scares them into doing what I say

You cast a spell to make an ugly giant with a sword come to life. It walks up
to the crowd and starts screaming at them. The crowd backs away scared.
> Look for jocks or evil babes with huge boobs in the crowd

You walk through the crowd looking for jocks or evil babes with huge ****. You
find none. You see a few guys with large ***** and some girls who are wearing
skimpy clothing, but nothing else of interest.

> Lecture the girls in skimpy clothes about being sluts while imagining how they would look dead on the ground with their asses in the air

You tell the girls in skimpy clothing to get out of here. They don't understand
why you want to do this to them. You explain that you need to be alone now that
you've found the truth. You then grab one girl by her and start spanking her
*** hard
> Say "I guess you really got it IN THE END!"

You say "I guess you really got it IN THE END!" Then you pull out your **** and
shoot a load all over the place!

> Say "I just saved your life, you should be thankful to me!"

You say "I just saved your life, you should be thankful to me!" Then you throw
your load in the girl's face and run off laughing.

Yeah it went to that pretty quick alright. It doesn't always do that, but it does come up out of the blue sometimes.

I've been messing around with it a lot this evening and I quite a few stories where it didn't happen at all. There was one where every single character wanted to kiss and hug me, it was pretty wholesome (well, except for all the booze that kept showing up).

No limit, but sometimes it will break and just start spouting gibberish. If things slow down, direct the game by saying you're moving to a new location, or try talking or announce you're looking for a certain thing. Remember you can type anything.

At this point it's Chekov's hardcore loving. He declared his intent to draw such and you can bet the moment the Ink Witch is actually a character, he'll start railroading her and Snout to the bone zone. Because Snout is a Mookie, Ink Witch is big tiddy goth gf, and Mookie horrrrrrrrrrny.
