Thread for talking about webcomics. Share your favs, discuss latest updates.

I recently discovered "basket of guts"
https://basketsofguts.thecomicseries.com/comics/1#content-start
A story about a lich that comes out of his crypt for world domination and find the world evolved and then quickly end on the run from a "modern" state security services.
Really liking it so far. Good mix of genres, starting from a standard fantasy world and instead of freezing it in time add societal and technomagical development. Also I find it pretty funny. Not everything translated yet sadly.

its on leftypol that I discovered Out Of Placers (apparently created by a furry artist, which explain the horniness)
https://www.valsalia.com/
Pretty interesting world building.

Finished since quite a while but at the time followed schlock mercenary. Goofy SF about a mercenary company.

On a more smutty side, I like alfie by incase.

For the non storyline webcomics, existential comics, oglaf and SMBC are my favs.

afaik incase is still making art + shorter comics but he went through some kind of hand injury/strain that put a strain on Allie production and changed the art style a little bit after he recovered as a result (although he might’ve returned to form by now, idk)

>>47376
Ah thanks. I just saw someone say that he was done with comics in an exhentai comment, but I wasn't able to find any dis/confirmation.

>>47355
First time seeing this. Lovely, lovely art and a nice story to boot. Teared up a bit when Alfie and Vera finally reunited, only for Alfie to tear my heart out by being such a bitch. Glad she came around.
Been so long that I can't say why but the comic made me nostalgic for Bone, might try and re-read that

It's boring and toothless to make villains "well intentioned extremists" or "good guys deep down but troubled" or any other variation. There is essentially one main problem with this type of character, and it's expressed on a spectrum. At one end of the spectrum, they are too villainous, making any notion of grayness or redemption laughable or insulting to the audience. At the other end, they don't do enough villainous things to warrant their status as a villain, so you can't take them seriously. In most cases, these characters fall somewhere in the middle. Theoretically that should make them more balanced, but instead the archetype is just massively overdone. It has become predictable and boring because so many writers use the formula as a crutch to make the character "interesting" instead of giving the characters something actually interesting about them. If you're going to have a villain, you can make them interesting without resorting to this cheap tactic, and if you really want morally gray characters you don't need to bother framing the story as heroes vs villains.

normies want mid wit slop and the Market must provide.

you know, people who read real books don't start autistic arguments like these.

If you are going to critique, give specific examples.

Just watched Josep, a fictionalized account of the Catalan artist's interment in a French concentration camp after the fall of Barcelona.

>>47443
and? any good?

>>47444
I liked it. Also yes, the framing device of his story being told by a fictional concentration camp guard was a strange choice, but I suppose it can be treated as like an extended metaphor for the guilt and dejection he would have felt from fleeing the fall of Catalonia

Also Episode 8 was just a wrecking ball. I feel so bad for Caine.

>Emilia Clarke was at a huge disadvantage since she was trained for stage acting, not screen acting
Fucking nonsense excuse, some of the best film actors in history began as stage actors. Stage acting is in fact what most modern actors lack.
>When you're like 100 feet away from the audience you have to really exaggerate your acting
No, you don't. That is today's modern take on stage acting and is why most stage plays I've seen in the past decades are fucking trash.
>That's the reason for everything she did being so over-the-top.
The Camera is right there, she's performing on a greenscreen or on a set a few feet away from the crew and director, which would be equivalent to small-stage. To be fair, even if she didn't realize this, the Director's role is literally to stop and correct her and make sure the take goes well, so she's not entirely to blame.
>She also had two brain aneurysms near the start of the show
Ah, I actually did not know that, in which case that at least explains the acting, even if it doesn't make it good.

Kit Harrington is the same as Emilia - modern "stage training" except he doesn't have her excuse of the aneurysms and what not.

I'm not being mean to her, she's probably a nice girl and probably tried her best, but her acting was still over the top.

And that's the kind she was trained in…
>some of the best film actors in history began as stage actors
Yes and they also learned how to act for the screen.
>Fucking nonsense excuse
No it isn't, when your muscle memory is a certain way you have to train yourself to do it differently.
>she's performing on a greenscreen or on a set a few feet away from the crew and director, which would be equivalent to small-stage
Idk what you mean by this, what theater stage has audience members sitting as close as a camera gets in a closeup?
> the Director's role is literally to stop and correct her
Correct. It's also something where if it's a persistent problem the production should hire an acting coach to help fix it. That doesn't change the nature of what she was doing wrong thoughever.

>that at least explains the acting

Probably she was too busy getting medical attention and recovery to get coaching needed to fix the issue.

>when your muscle memory is a certain way you have to train yourself to do it differently.
Yes and no. For example when Diving you train to breath with the mouth and not push air out through your nose, and unless you've got some problems in reigning yourself in, you can do this by merely staying conscious of the fact and proceeding carefully. The same can apply to acting, especially when she has a director there who should be reminding her of things. That being said, as you mentioned with her aneurysms and what-not, it's excusable in this case.
>what theater stage has audience members sitting as close as a camera gets in a closeup?
There is Small and Big Stage performances. Small Stage is when audiences are often right up close and the performance area is (obviously) smaller and up-close. I've been to a few in my time.
>He has the opposite problem if anything
I suppose in some way yes, though proper facial expression is also a problem I've seen in modern stage performances, either over or under acting a role/scene/character.

Watched A Knight of the Seven Kingdom yesterday. I had little interest in any GOT related TV since halfway through season 6, but decided to check this one out due to positive word of mouth.
It has almost none of the grimness and politicking that were the staple of the original series, the tone I would describe as a slightly dark comedy, with dramatic elements sprinkled on. The protagonist is a dim witted impoverished hedge knight, the entirety of first season covers a single tourney spanning couple days. The sets are composed out of a single jousting arena, a castle hall, a and a tent town around it. No dragons here, nor epic battles. It does have my absolutely favorite fight between knights in all of cinema thought. Like I am no expert on medieval combat, but it does look exactly how I imagined a combat between two men clad head to toe in iron would look like. Slugfest where both opponents are accumulating cuts and punctures and fractures, until they cant stand anymore.
Only 6 episodes, each little over 30 minutes, the whole thing could have been a long movie. Its really good, go watch it.

just read plato's "cratylus" (380 BCE) and cratylus appears to be the first kabbalist in history, stating that words are composed of elements, which are the letters of which they are composed (directly comparing grammar to arithmetic in the style of gematria), and saying that the true names of things belong to an ancient language that was delivered to man by the gods (this appears to also be socrates' resolve, though he remains inconclusive). in kabbalah, this language is of course hebrew, which set the world in order from the mouth of God (esoterically exposited in the sefer yetzirah, 100 CE).

Have been doing a deep dive on O9A recently and will say that the "Satanic Letters of Stephen Brown" (1990-92) are extremely entertaining, since it is Myatt bickering back and forth between members of the Temple of Set, claiming that he is actually the true (traditional) Satanist (long story short, he creates a nonsense fable about how he was initiated by a Mistress whose traditions go back to the Wizard Merlin). He also claims that his "nine angles" weren't plagiarised from Aquino's 'Trapezoid' (e.g. "Ceremony of the Nine Angles" in The Satanic Rituals, 1972). Of course, Myatt's main alias is "Anton Long", who hosts a "Black Mass" (t. Codex Saerus, 1983), so he is obviously plagiarising the Church of Satan. The members of the Temple of Set state very bluntly that Myatt is a one-man operation who is wasting his intellect on nonsense, and they deny him any partnership (it was actually a two-man operation, Myatt and Richard Moult - or "Christos Beest", who designed the Sinister Tarot). Its shocking that these letters were published, since they portray the whole thing in a humiliating way. Already in this time, Myatt had written "Vindex: Destiny of the West" (1984), published in a neo-nazi magazine, where he attempts (from Toynbee and Spengler) to construct a "Logic of History", foretelling the coming of an "Imperium" by 2011, at the latest, where the archetypal "Vindex" (latin for "Avenger") will rise up (this is a mirror of the Esoteric Hitlerism of Miguel Serrano, who portrays a second coming of Hitler as Kalki, the figure that banishes the Kali Yuga). Myatt adds some Nietzschean flair, seeing the rise of Christianity as the beginning of a "Magian" (Jewish) influence which leads to perversion and materialism (against the Faustian, scientific spirit of the West). Try to ignore the manifest contradiction. Anyway, this is continuous of Myatt's earliest writings, "Emanations of Urania" (1974) in which he similarly assembles a logical history, tied to the "soul" of a people, along with their "acausal" existence (acausality is a concept found in Carl Jung's notion of "Synchronicity"; an event in the collective unconscious). Thus, Myatt identifies the unconscious or "archetypal" realm as "acausal" in nature, but still as yet "material" and physical (e.g. hence his "physics" of the acausal, an apparent project in the 90s which was lost to time and circumstance, but which saw "living machines" take the place of current technologies). O9A revisionists such as the OxPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>47463
thoughts on whether Myatt was a glowy? holidays to northern ireland? a well timed conversion to salafi islam in the 90s?

>>47464
It's not an exaggeration to say that 95% of all Nazi organisations are undercover operations designed to entrap members into criminal acts. An associate of Myatt's, Charlie Sergeant, was convicted of murder charges in the 90s, and its believed that Myatt helped grass him up. You can see in his 1998 interview that he is an extremely dishonest person (despite his insistence upon "honour"), but not quite enfranchised into intelligence, since otherwise the interviewer (a representative of "Hope not Hate", an intelligence asset) would not be so interrogative. I think its possible that Myatt has probably given up people to police for protection, but I dont think he was an informant per se. Of course, later groups are ran by informants, like Tempel ov Blood, as an Atomwaffen off-shoot of O9A in the 2010s.

The practice and principles of Permaculture are one of the most important tools for not only creating a sustainable socialism, but also for repairing the damage done to the global ecosystem by capitalism, and lessening your individual reliance on the current capitalist system.Permacultural practice and socialism are two very powerful allies, and learning about permaculture should be necessity for modern socialists and communists.

>I'm not really clear on what "permaculture" is
permanent agriculture. its when you change the landscape to catch and store water and succession plant species long term so that with minimal input you have an edible forest that takes maybe a decade to implement and provides food for a couple generations with only basic seasonal maintenance to chop overgrowth

this year i planted zero seeds and did nothing because im really busy was kinda sad i missed planting cause its getting hot early and my whole yard is covered in food and wildflowers birds and bees anyway. its like a whole field of kale broccoli mulberries figs citrus pomegranates grapes toms peppers wild sage and herbs running off rainwater

>>47430
controlling pests will improve crop yields in the sense of stopping pests eating as much of the crops

>>47435
depends what you're testing for, pH and moisture can be done with a simple meter that's reusable but you'd need a soil testing kit for NPK levels. Should be available at your nearest store that sells gardening stuff. Not super complicated or expensive. Just take multiple samples from the places you'd plant because it'd vary.
