or it's part of her gui to simulate human body language.

[Mr. Doctor]

I really don't like Marigold at this point.

I do. I just don't like her attitude.
But then, I don't expect perfection in friends, nor they in me. We try to be good people, but if sometimes we fail, we have friends to pull us up and tell us what assholes we're being. This hurts both the giver of the comment, and the receiver, so we try really, really hard not to deserve it.

Marbear - you're being an asshole, dear. We love you anyway, but please quit it.

Aye, I should have re-phrased that since I agree with you. You know, I was in the heat of the moment and stuff.

[jwhouk]

-blinks- Where'd the pizza go, anyway?

I ate it. Being a mod has its privileges.

Exchange of the year, right here.

[snubnose]

So apparently, Momo can hear May, but cannot see her unless she's wearing the Glasses.

I think she's just trying the glasses on for fun.

You didn't share?  There are words for people like you.

VERY hungry ?

So apparently, Momo can hear May, but cannot see her unless she's wearing the Glasses.

No, there's a sensor in the glasses - unless someone's wearing them, May's confined to the server.
Momo donned the glasses so May would be there, not to see her.

Ooooh ok thats an excellent idea.

I see no evidence for that belief. Dale turned them off with a physical click to cut her off. As long as they're turned on, she has eyes and ears. I think Sorflakne has it right.

I dunno why Jeph is so surprised that his Kickstarter is doing well. What part of "horde of loyal fans" did he miss, especially since he lives off the merch they buy already? Is it just false modesty?

[pwhodges]

What artist is not tormented by self-doubt?  Even if he knew this would happen, he still might not have believed it.

[Tormuse]

Is it just false modesty?

I wouldn't say it's false.  Jeph has a long history of underestimating how much people enjoy his work and care about him.  And even if he wasn't modest, reaching 300% of his goal in such a short time is pretty impressive!  In any case, I think he just plain and simply understands how important it is to be thankful for the support of his fans.

[bhtooefr]

Speaking of Jeph...

Didn't he say earlier that there would be feels on Friday? (I think he may still be drawing ahead a bit.)

BRACE FOR WATERY SHITS

[Method of Madness]

Why do some people replace "feelings" with "feels"? Just...why?

[Is it cold in here?]

Either it's a neologism chosen for effect (one which I could certainly do without), or it comes to mind readily because their hovercraft is full of feels.

[Pilchard123]

#FeelowFriday?

[pwhodges]

For me feels and feelings are not synonyms, though I can't easily explain right now.

[jmucchiello]

Why do some people replace "feelings" with "feels"? Just...why?

I assume it relates to Girls With Slingshots in some way since he and Daniel Corsetto are friends.

[jmucchiello]

For me feels and feelings are not synonyms, though I can't easily explain right now.

Feels are unwanted feelings of responsibility and growig up.

[Method of Madness]

Wait, what? I've just seen it used when something provokes an emotional response in general. Also does Corsetto use that word a lot? I honestly hadn't noticed.

[Is it cold in here?]

Maybe it means they're all going to grope each other.

[Zebediah]

Leaving May extremely frustrated, because she can neither grope nor be groped by anyone else present.

Possibly another hologram could interact with her "physically". Maybe Marigold can introduce May to Station.

[Pilchard123]

Spaceshipping?

[Mr_Rose]

What are all the freight companies gonna do when that definition of 'shipping' takes over?

[Sidhekin]

Leaving May extremely frustrated, because she can neither grope nor be groped by anyone else present.

Possibly another holograma mime could interact with her "physically".

Hey, they gotta be useful for something ...

[jmucchiello]

Wait, what? I've just seen it used when something provokes an emotional response in general. Also does Corsetto use that word a lot? I honestly hadn't noticed.

Actually I can't find any examples. Perhaps it's just because that strip is about avoiding feelings (at times) and thus I just associate it with the degenerate "feels" term.

[FunkyTuba]

for me, feels are what I get when reacting to something I'm reading, usually on the internet, on facebook, webcomics, etc and are more of a passive thing

feelings come from a more active place, from deeper reflection or some analytical emotional processing going on in my brain

so you get the feels from things you witness, but you have feelings about things you do

that's my take, not sure if that's backed up in The Literature

Edit: this would seem to contradict Jeph expecting to get the feels from his drawing of the comic... ymmv

[Carl-E]

That was my impression, too, by usage - feelings are yours; feels are thrust upon you. 

Both can happen when you least expect. 

[Kugai]

There will be blood

[DSL]

... feels are thrust upon you ...

You can press charges.

[altheora]

What are all the freight companies gonna do when that definition of 'shipping' takes over?

I think that's why they're now calling it "logistics".

[willpell]

I'm sure this TOTALLY needed to be said, but...Momo + Glowing glasses = Cutest Non-Fuzzy Anything Ever.

[ab720]

If I told someone to leave and they instead walked into my bedroom, yikes.

[altheora]

Well, that went surprisingly well. o.o

[Carl-E]

Wow - I just can't get used to these early updates! 

Suddenly, those two are surprisingly self-aware.  Dale's obviously been thinking about this a lot - I wonder what Marigold's deal is?

[Border Reiver]

Am I a bad person for liking the Momo/May interaction more than Dale/Marigold? 

[Method of Madness]

Nah, I like both though. FWIENDS!

[MightionNY]

I just had a glorious, three-word thought regarding May:

Momo's.

Old.

Chassis.

[Method of Madness]

Did this glorious thought come when you were reading this or last week's WCDT and saw it mentioned several times?

[Neko_Ali]

Well, considering how little May likes the 'anime maid' look, I kinda doubt she would appreciate 'chibi anime doll' much more. Any body may be a better option than stuck in a Robot Jail server bank though. Assuming they even let her out and into a body anytime soon.

[MightionNY]

Did this glorious thought come when you were reading this or last week's WCDT and saw it mentioned several times?

.... I haven't read the forums that much lately....

....I guess it wasn't an original glorious thought.

[Perfectly Reasonable]

The body language in this comic (2512) is wonderful.

[westrim]

I don't like the Dale and Marigold dialogue here at all. It seems like it's hopping through and over steps for the sake of brevity or easy writing or something. How did he start speaking considering she was in a door slamming mood? She accepted his explanation pretty readily for someone so suspicious. And it completely skips over how much of an ass SHE was about WoW, if only for informing her behavior (to expand, I'm not saying it should be mentioned, but that she should be behaving differently based on her previous behavior).

Okay, out with it. I like the idea of the storyline of Dale and Marigold, but the writing and plotting has been not to my liking. It's not cohesive, rife with unexplained skipping and backstepping of chronology and behavior. I like Jeph's writing, but this... this plot was not well written, ever since the peace offering pizza.


Is it me or does Momo look really stoned with the glasses on and her mouth like that?

My suspicion regarding feels is that the neologism is highly subject to personal interpretation and the users meaning, as opposed to having a set and obvious definition. All mentioned definitions have probably been meant by a user at one point or another.

Is it just false modesty?

I wouldn't say it's false.  Jeph has a long history of underestimating how much people enjoy his work and care about him.  And even if he wasn't modest, reaching 300% of his goal in such a short time is pretty impressive!  In any case, I think he just plain and simply understands how important it is to be thankful for the support of his fans.

That was the wrong term to use- I shouldn't morning and type. It's just the way he wrote about it, it seemed like it emphasized doubt that the fanbase would come through ("I had ever dared hope", for example) rather than joy that it was so enthusiastic. He better than any of us can see exactly how many people read him every day and buy his merch.

[ab720]

Westrim: Possibly they liked each other, and both realized how they fucked up.

Hell, I could have even been wrong earlier, and Marigold wanted Dale to leave because she was embarrassed, not because she was filled with rage.

Hell, even the Hiss might have been a defense mechanism.

One of the most powerful ways to defuse an argument is to admit that you fucked up.

That being said, the whole momo parent trap bit, it seems a bit creepy, but she does want marigold to have friends.

[Romanticide]

I find it odd that Dale was scared to speak with Marigold normally, he doesn't seem to have any problem to talk to any of the girls of the coffee shop, but I guess when the girl in question likes WoW he freaked out... I find it cute that they finally seem to able to clear the misunderstanding.

[Is it cold in here?]

Dale seemed to be a confident conversationalist when he and Marigold first met. How do we reconcile that with his saying he's afraid of talking to girls? It's also worth remembering that he's a favorite at Coffee of Doom.

[Rghfrgl]

 Yeah, his introduction was pretty much 'This is cool guy Dale, he's a pretty cool guy.'

[DSL]

Allowing for the fact that more people than want to admit it, suffer critical clarity failures when we most want to be clear ... substitute "girls I'm interested in (as girls)" for just "girls" in Dale's speech and things become clear. As I recall, Dale at first had no difficulty in talking to Marigold UNTIL the exact moment he discovered (by reading her T-shirt, IIRC) she was a fellow WoWser/wargamer/whatever the hell they want to call themselves. Then Marigold shifted into "NO TIPS FOR ALLIANCE SCUM" mode -- I'm going to assume, based on some experience, this was a panicked reaction to "omg someone's taking notice of me and I didn't initiate this contact" -- and off we were to the present races.
I don't intend to present this as DALE'S FAULT vs. MARIGOLD'S FAULT RARRR, though it will no doubt degenerate into that. Just as two people of good will, both reacting out of fear. Are they perfect people? Complete fuckups? No more or no less than any other h. sap drawing breath at the moment, despite what we may think of ourselves.

[Tova]

Suddenly, those two are surprisingly self-aware.  Dale's obviously been thinking about this a lot - I wonder what Marigold's deal is?

The smaller inner part of her that figured that this might after all be the case had, until now, been shouted down by insecure majority.

I don't think she's been unaware necessarily, just unwilling to allow herself to believe it. Probably because the last time she became willing to believe something optimistic, she ended up getting crushed.

I'd forgotten that Marigold got a scared expression as soon as she realized she was risking an actual conversation:
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1668 . It really shows on her face.

[KOK]

It seems so obvious now that you point it out. She does not hate every player on the other side. She needs an excuse to end the encounter.

[KOK]

If I told someone to leave and they instead walked into my bedroom, yikes.

Yes. Now she has a genuine reason to fear him.

[ankhtahr]

Maybe it was more like a "*knock knock* 'May I come in? I wanna apologise.'"
