Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
With moderator permission, resurrecting this thread in anticipation of the end of the scheduled hiatus of the comic on the 15th.
To quote Ashley on what's coming up with chapter 13: "You want to meet Sette’s dad at last? What about an entire tribe of Two-toed Lizards? Wonder what’s been going on with that gross Silver monster and its crazy reptile master? Want to see how Duane deals with a shrine full of children he should but probably is incapable of hating?"I have my own TV show featuring local musicians performing live. YouTube page with full episodes and outtake clips here.
I also have another YouTube page with local live music clips I've filmed on my own.
Then there is my gaming YouTube page with Kerbal Space Program, Minecraft, and others.
Finally, I stream on Twitch, mostly Kerbal Space Program and Minecraft.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
So we are. Duane in a Gefendur shrine is going to be a hoot. But first it looks like we're briefly visiting Sharteshane.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
The King of Sharteshane is certainly a good fit for his country.

It's good to be the king.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
A thousand lines of pymaric conditional statements seems awfully small for how advanced that AI is.
Maybe they use standard AI libraries, or sieve the right memories for the personality - e.g. get all Skipcross female player memories.
It's kind of weird since formal logic can't really work at scale - maybe the conditional statements actually yank the right memories out to grow the AI properly.

The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Good question, but it could be just "Great Khert, find me a memory of a person that won their game of Skipcross, given such and such position of pieces".
Also from the sound of it, it seems the game is dice based, so they could be using some kind of simple heuristic, or just bragging around.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Not insurmountable, of course. The code is complex, but the relationship between length in lines and algorithmic complexity isn't exactly tight.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
An aetherial construct wouldn't push down the pillow she's sitting on. This is a Sharteshane scam: a human girl cover with glitter paint.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
I think that’s why it’s so impressive to the king some one has rendered a bottom forcefield.
I wonder if someone served as a real world model or the ai face has been sculpted.

this is like the Turk Automaton. This king is a bit of a fool. He wouldn't see through it.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
I’d normally agree, but Timofey the poet and those ghost babies already exist in this world, so it’s possible it is the real deal.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Beadman's is a rather significant business, and giving the King a particularly fancy and expensive pymaric sounds in line for anyone wanting to be the power behind the throne. The king has def' been coming off as the type to be easily bought so long as crass distractions are provided. I strongly doubt the construct's fake, as there are clear khert lines coming off of her.
Uaid's got a perfectly serviceable memory and personality, so making a skipcross-playing construct is hardly out of line (if expensive). I'm certain the image of woman is a mix of Solidity, Opacity, & Contour aspects taken from a model, and the pymaric is not a small item, which is to be expected if it's going to hold all of that *and* a robust library of skipcross memories.Last edited by virgileso; 2018-02-12 at 02:01 AM.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
So we finally get to meet Sette's illustrious old dad, in the present and not a flashback. Let's see what he's like without the filter of Sette's memories.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Beadman is certainly the closest Sharteshane has to a ruler. As much as anyone can rule it.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
I'm guessing he's also the big bad, finally revealed. Or, at least, the closest we might get to one. It's not like this is the first time we've heard of him, after all.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Appreciate how Nary-a-Care is subtly pocketing the silver ashtray here.
I want to believe it's just a Sharteshanian way of paying respect, and that Beadman would feel insulted if Nary didn't steal anything.
That's just for the Skipcross playing part. "We've translated the reigning champions' playbooks to pymaric logic. A thousand lines of conditional statements for the construct's artificial mind to scan and obey."
That's not what powers the artificial mind in the first place, that's the flowchart she's following to know what moves to make.Hark! An avatar drawn by Kate Beaton!

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
I wouldn't call him the big bad. A big bad, if anything. He's one of the several people who want to direct the brewing situation and use to their own ends, like General Bell, Ruck, Queen Sonorie, Cutter/Prakhuta and whoever else we haven't seen yet or I'm forgetting.

Speaking of chapter 2, does that assassin remind anyone else of Cara?

And now we've got some two-toes attacking. I wonder who sent them. Beadman? Frummagem?
