Re: 2016/09/19 – Back in the Pack
Alpha still means exactly that. Just because a few people in the scientific or linguistic community try to change a word doesn't really affect its use or meaning in practice. It's not 'just' that they're trying to change a word, though; The thing it referred to does not exist. There is no 'Alpha Wo...

Re: 2014/08/29 - Asking NIcely
Wouldn't be surprised if she broke up with him because she didn't like his way of playing. Or, if we're going with the 'she's a player' idea (which I think is wrong, but mreh), she might only have gotten together with him because he was in the same gaming group. Maybe not consciously, but if you ge...

Re: 2014/08/29 - Asking NIcely
Kitsune is being way too nonchalant about everything. He's all like "Well, sucks to suck". So who is the real enemy...the celestial gods or common sense? Well, GK is the game-master, not a player - he's on the side of the NPCs (well, technically, he's not supposed to have a side, if it's ...

Hey, if crying and begging got Dissension to start posting links to the forum again, I'm sure it could work for King as well.

Re: 2014/07/14 - Whale Of (A) Time
I vaguely remember hearing once that jail/prison have different meanings but I've only seen the terms used interchangeably. I'm fairly sure that close to 100% of the non-criminal population not working in law or justice or grammarization have no clue that there is one, I'd completely forgotten it a...

Re: 2014/06/16- Keeping Up Appearances
Joel should have made himself Cerberus sized so less stairs to climb. I don't think he could really imagine himself as being both a dog and taller than Fox. But why does everyone look so serious in this comic? King's got his reasons, but it's still a change from how I felt he was acting pre-stairs....

Re: 2014/03/05 - Cultural Appropriation
I would probably have taken him at face value too, but more on the basis that he's a raccoon Tanuki. I've no clue what raccoons eat even less idea what a 'Tanuki' would eat. Even for a raccoon Tanuki I'd figure it was a special subset of tastes, but when I go to foreign countries I often miss the go...

Re: 2014/01/22 - Adventure Time
By the way, I'm the only one who noticed the color changing of Marvin's tag since the last comic? I only noticed it when you mentioned it. Going into the archives (somehow, it didn't show up in the Imaginate-session) shows the purple as being the 'right' color, so it wasn't just bleed-through in th...
