Do you think robot society would have reverse captchas? Like you try to log into your robo-Discord account and you have to select which of a handful of images contains a very specific specialized type of computer chip in order to prove that you ARE a robot?
Recently I have been watching Demon Slayer. It's pretty good, but I think it would be at least twice as good if Zenitsu had a trans awakening from "pretending" to be a woman in the Entertainment DIstrict arc and just permanently became Zenko for the rest of the series.
Now that this is over I would just like to inform everyone that I am incredibly salty that I wasn't made aware of it in time to submit anything, because apparently nobody submitted a single song from the Figment games and I would have gladly fixed that glaring flaw if I had the chance to.
Villain Song Showdown Winners
Thank you to everyone who participated in this tournament and supported their most hated villains! It is now time to announce our winners...
In third place, his teeth and ambitions are bared to take over Pride Rock... Scar's Be Prepared from The Lion King!
In second place, he's got voodoo, he's got hoodoo, he's got things he ain't even tried... Dr. Facilier's Friends on the Other Side from the Princess and the Frog!
And our first place villain song goes to....
Frollo's Hellfire from the Hunchback of Notre Dame!
I had a lot of fun with this tournament and it was my biggest one so far. I didn't think you guys would let the podium be all Disney songs, but I do admit they're all really good ones. If you want to check out some villain songs that didn’t make the cut, I made a playlist of all the submissions here.
Submissions for the next tournament will be out soon so be on the look out!
The only other recent example I can think of with a similarly drastic contrast between how it started and how it's going is SMG4 if you count it, but unlike Spooky Month it kinda sucked
Has an internet cartoon ever evolved and grown as drastically as Spooky Month? I guess back in the day there were a lot of web originals that began as a simple joke bit and expanded into earnest storytelling but I feel like the contrast is really stark here
I really want to recommend oots to more people. However, a lot of my friends are professional artists, so it sounds kinda insane, like "Hey, there's this old webcomic that breaks many rules of layout and composition (the things you went to school for), but I promise it's really good. The best thing about it is all that text in a language you aren't fluent in. Please read all 1300+ episodes. It gets especially interesting after the ~200 mark. No, you can't skip anything. Yes, it's still ongoing. Listen, you'll surely love this. You're a fan of dnd and enjoy reading all those fantasy webtoons — this is perfect for your tastes. Here is the website. No, it doesn't have a mobile version. No, I also have no idea how all that 3.5 stuff used to work. So... are you sold on it yet? What if I annoy you every time we meet?"
Yeah, Awful Hospital being anything other than a webcomic would have made it very different from what it is today. I kinda wish I could play a proper video game with Awful Hospital's combat system, though.
Based on how Awful Hospital runs the fights and traveling through the locations, I'm kind of surprised it's not a point and click adventure game. Was a game something you wanted to do at some point for the story or did it just happen that way so the audience could interact with the comic? I'm curious because the art style and the format would translate so nicely!
Yeah, I wanted to be making games all my life but whatever makes my brain unable to memorize long division made me unable to even begin figuring out any of the ways to make games, even as it evidently got easy enough for just kids to do it? But now I'm slowly learning Godot
In fact everything I make would have been a game if it could have been. Mortasheen is only a tabletop RPG setting because I couldn't make it a console style RPG, though I even planned out the shops, extensive item lists and countless other mechanics for years.
If Awful Hospital hadn't been an ongoing interactive comic that acknowledges the readers, though, it probably wouldn't have built the kind of fanbase it does have and a lot of plot points just would not have hit the same!
