Megatokyo webcomic 1322 panel 1 megatokyo.com/strip/1322 #webcomics #manga

A color drawing called "Tohya Miho - Something Old and Unopened". Miho wears a party outfit, sits on a bar stool at the Cave of Evil nightclub, and talks on her phone held to her ear with her right hand. She is waring her hair ribbon, a choker with a pendant, and sleeveless top that is off the shoulder, has dark ruffles, and long matching gloves, a short pleated skirt, long dark leggings that go halfway up her thigh, and no shoes. The stool she is sitting on has a rose colored base that is shaped like a plant stem, with a brown and white seat.

A longish post which goes beyond the description of the heroic pause. This message is my takeaway

Screen shot from the post linked below. Text reads:
So here's how I would urge you all to celebrate Stanislav Petrov Day this year. Remember the example of the man who disobeyed orders to ignore what the cutting-edge computer system was telling him to do, and saved untold millions of lives in the process. Whatever an Al is telling you, whether it's a warning of a national security threat or a business efficiency" recommendation or healthcare "cost-saving" or personal "communication tips," do not trust it unreservedly. Do not let yourself become a meat-puppet for unthinking software because it's easier in the short run. Do not take irreversible actions, especially actions putting life at risk, due to AI guidance.

Disobey, always, rather than do something barbarous.

Megatokyo webcomic 1297 panel 4 megatokyo.com/strip/1297 #webcomics #manga

In Yuki's bedroom, Yuki lies on her bed curled up on her right side and facing the wall and her big teddy bear. The window is partially open with vertical blinds klattering in the breeze. There is a nightstand holding a lamp and alarm clock, a dresser with various bottles on top and a first aid kit hanging off the side, a small desk with a chair and computer and shelf on the wall above with books. ZomZom is on the other side of the room wearing a big bow to hold her together. And Masamichi can be heard giving Yutaka the psycho-dad treatment on the phone after he called asking for Yuki.
Masamichi: <So THAT'S your little scheme!! You got hit by a car so you could make my daughter feel sorry for you and fall in love with you!! DON'T LIE TO ME BOY!! DENIAL IS FUTILE!!>

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.

The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Piro climbs the steps out of the train station, on his way to Kimiko's event in Ikebukuro. He is wearing an open jacket and his bookbag, looks a little angry, and has his head turned to talk to Sleepy Shadow and the rest of the Nanasawa Protection Coalition who are following him.
Piro: <You feed me all this crap about "protecting" her, then ask for intimate details about her personal life? Do you have any idea how creepy that is??>

Junpei wears pants tucked into heavy boots and an open leather trench coat that flaps dramatically behind him as he stands on the hood of Megumi's moving car, flexes his knees, and holds both hands above his head to push back the descending hand of a police mech that is trying to grab the car. Megumi inside the car driving, and another police mech can be seen chasing after the car from behind.

As i sit here with three different story vector mappings of the current Megatokyo storyline, trying to work out creative ways to clean up, merge and coordinate all the pieces in motion, i couldn't *IMAGINE* using AI to solve these problems. I won't even ask FRIENDS for help, nevermind AI. OMG.

There have been an unbelievable number of Kanon music releases (especially if you take into account all the doujinshi releases) but my overall favorite is still the tracks i ripped from the original game CD back in 2000.

Outside on a street in Akihabara, Meimi wears a cardigan and cross necklace, places her right hand against her cheek, holds up a chef's knife in her left hand and stares at it in wonderment as she talks to Erika who is wearing a jacket with a popped collar over a v-neck sweater.
Meimi: <Oh dear. I believe I forgot to pay for them.>
Erika: <Are you STILL doing that?>

though it has been pointed out to me that a Recap comic chunk might not be useful really till i can get a flow of comics going again so i might just opt for the next comic (which is in progress anyway), get that done, do a few more and see what happens.

I've been doing almost 20 hrs of overtime a week since the start of September which is why you haven't heard much from me. Everything is so expensive its just killing us (like all of you are probably well aware :) It's been so long since the last comic that i'm working on some recap first.

Erka: <Ah! Ahh... hahahahha! Sorry! that was... uh, nothing! I~>
Meimi: <It's nice to see Largo-san doesn't get all those forced smiles.>

The L33T Dud3 stands next to Largo wearing a hockey jersey with a large F, with his hands in his pockets, and commenting on Largo's problems. Piro: Do I... know her? Largo: L33t senses tingling...
