@msh210 er yes, that's correct, I left out some words.

archive.org/download/2009Xkcd/2009_xkcd.pdf page 10101 says “started with four letters what a riddle what a mystery" but I don't understand what that is trying to say

@Randal'Thor Yeah. But I have one Socratic badge on Sci Fi.

@PeterShor Perhaps it's because of mystery novels, because those taught us that the obvious suspect is usually not the murderer.

Only Jules Verne somehow hasn't written or hasn't published the last part of the serial novel where he reveals all that.

of course sometimes it's backwards. In particular in Jules Verne's La Jangada I think Joam Garral is actually a criminal, he did commit the armed robbery that he was sentenced to death for, although he likely couldn't profit from it because his partners in crime took all the money, and he did a clever scheme, with his family's help, to fool everyone, get on the good side of public opinion, get his sentence overturned, and got Torres killed in that process.

@PeterShor and scifi.stackexchange.com/q/91372/4918 too

@Tsundoku I usually meet that in jokes about the employee who asks for payed time off because his grandfather died.

@Tsundoku Sure, I have read some of his poems at least for school. But I have passed the high school final exam and they didn't fail me then, so I don't have to pretend that I know much about him.

@Tsundoku I wouldn't say I'm familiar with him. Is there a question somewhere? He was killed in the holocaust so you can find a copy of his short complete works on the internet now.

Ah, here it is! sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/a-sky-full-of-stars-013 says Scarlet is six years old, and Tibor does know her by that time.

@SPArcheon-onstrike I kind of doubt that. sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/a-sky-full-of-stars-009 lists another book by Abel Axios.

How old she is that is.

I might try to ask this on the main site.

@SPArcheon-onstrike That's a book cover image, it's not in story, I don't think I can read much into it.

also "https://www.sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/a-sky-full-of-stars-019/#comment-1054" says "around three months older than on the second page of the comic"

sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/2024/01/20/… explicitly says that Scarlet comic "Story takes place over many years"

Ah no, I'm wrong!

@SPArcheon-onstrike "later, not now when the characters are 9 years old" => I don't think you have multiple years of time before this comic will continue.

In fact, sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/artist-wanted says five years old, but note that that's a preliminary plot so it might not be canon.

@SPArcheon-onstrike I'm not sure anymore on whether "9 year old" is accurate. I got it from sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/a-sky-full-of-stars-024 but that's someone else calling her 9 years old, so she could be younger or slightly older.

The mother clearly has an evil smirk in sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/a-sky-full-of-stars-028

Also, even though I'm pretty sure this is the first time they met Scarlet, do you suppose it's possible that the mother recognized Tibor from somewhere? It's not too likely, but it seems like Tibor had been around places so they could have some history.

His mom invites Scarlet quickly, which is suspicious to me. Do you think the mom will be a villain in this story, and she just got a good lead on how she can achieve her villainous goals? That's my first guess, though of course innocent explanations are possible too, as in she's inviting Scarlet mostly for the boy's sake, or Scarlet genuinely managed to charm her too.

Care for some speculation on sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/a-sky-full-of-stars-027 and sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/a-sky-full-of-stars-028 ? These are the first two strips where we see black hair boy, and it seems he hasn't met Scarlet before either, yet he is listed in sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/characters as the boyfriend of 9 year old Scarlet.

So you can't make a Celestia or Luna plushie that looks similar to the cartoon versions even if you view it from just one side.

@SPArcheon-onstrike that's kind of worse. For Rainbow Dash you can make a plushie that looks like her from at least one angle (even if cheap toys might not do so). But Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have sparkling hair constantly moving as if by a slight breeze, the colored bands in her hair move differently from how the outline of her hair moves, and I think her hair is even transparent in a non-physical way where it affects the image of objects in its background nonlinearly.

ah, it's apparently more complicated than that

@Peilonrayz meta.stackexchange.com/a/258040/222298 that is also used to invite users with no reputation onto chat

@SPArcheon-onstrike It's much more obvious with Rainbow Dash

@Peilonrayz that's because madore.org/~david/weblog/…

@SPArcheon-onstrike right, it's a swimsuit special, she doesn't wear a swimsuit while transformed into a monkey, so no monkey form.

@SPArcheon-onstrike Are you sure? A lot of these extended versions flop because no game developer wants to release games for it when people already have the base PS5 model. Or it can even go like Nintendo, where Nintendo themselves require that every game has to work fine on the base models.

huh, what are those? does it include Shantae transformed into a monkey?

you can probably just ignore the first movie

and I think the second movie gets the characters well

@SPArcheon-onstrike Sure, I can understand if you don't like that, but the second movie is better than that

I don't think it's useless, and I like the second film

They announced the next Sonic movie, and it's released in 2024-12, which is the perfect time for me!

someone posted an answer to scifi.stackexchange.com/q/112931/4918 which got deleted, and that got me four upvotes and a guru badge to my answer there.

@Slartibartfast I never know how to vote on these in memoriam meta questions. If I upvote, does that mean I'm happy that he died? I don't want to give that impression.

oh wow, one of those typos is from DVK

hey Harry Potter fans, I accidentally found three posts where Nicholas Flamel's name is typoed as "Flammel": scifi.stackexchange.com/q/24713/4918 scifi.stackexchange.com/a/250903/4918 scifi.stackexchange.com/a/77139/4918 . can you take a quick look and confirm that it's fine to just fix the spelling in these?

(SE, don't automatically freeze this room even if it's inactive)

@ArdaYonet yes, you can ask those in chat
