How does anyone live like that?
We don't. We distract ourselves the best we can from those thoughts.

Not even trying to talk to Blackwing or Mr. Scruffy I see.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
Ooh, I love this!
Honestly after those previous two strips (which were good, but also very heavy) this is kind of a nice break.
Elan never ceases to be endearing (as always), and Haley proves herself as one of the strongest characters alive (osquip head lifting is a real sport right?)
And Belkar coming in with a surprisingly accurate prediction (if a bit tainted by his perspective).Homebrew setting: UnintensifiedFailure's Setting Please check it out, I'd love feedback.
Occupations: DnD Player/DM, High-School student, Webcomic reader.
Webcomic Recs: Tower of God, Yumi's Cells, Questionable Content, and (of course) OOTS.
My third occupation takes the most time.

Also, I can't help think but wonder how difficult it would be to try and peel potatoes with a greatsword.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
I can relate to Elan's thougts more than I like to admit... And I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
He’s exhausted all the humanoid conversationalists, but I bet he could entertain himself thinking with Blackwing.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
Wait, why isn't Haley sitting on the OTHER side, facing inward, if she wants to be ready for Xykon & co? We know from when Roy shoved his head through that the portal is double-sided in that respect (i.e., you can see in toward the dungeon), and it would give her more than "a moment's notice".
I don't think Scruffy is even in the bond...but yeah, I'm sure he could find some drama to bond with Blackwing over...Last edited by Reboot; 2021-05-25 at 08:23 AM.

So does the sword also give a +5 circumstance bonus to Profession (culinary)?

Presumably with the potatoes close to the table's edge, so that the hilt doesn't hit the table, and with a large enough table so that the tip of the sword can rest on it while you chop at the potatoes with a guillotine motion using the edge of the blade close to the hilt.

"How does anyone live like this?!?"
Eh, you get used to it sometimes, Elan.
This strip was cute. (To be honest, I thought there was going to be a punchline involving everyone else being like "Hey Durkon, Roy, we can hear your ultra-private conversation because we're all hooked up to V's telepathy thought phone line" or whatever.)Shh! I'm hiding.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
I'm glad we can all enjoy the period of idle conversation before The Debate drifts over to this thread like a cloud of annoyance and repeated arguments.
But maybe I'm being pessimistic.If you know any OOTS liveblogs or similar reactions that aren't dafukdidiwatch or mindareadsoots, please message me with them. I am starved of OOTS reaction content.
Also anyone analyzing it or using it as an example for something like thewebcomicsreview does sometimes. I just need more OOTS content.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
That was nice - something a little lighter I think was needed.
Edit: Agreed that he should have probably tried Blackwing.Last edited by dancrilis; 2021-05-25 at 08:39 AM.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
Absolutely perfect amuse bouche after the last few strips.
I agree that Elan made a mistake not at least trying to chat with Blackwing. I'd think those two would get along really well."You are what you do. Choose again and change." - Miles Vorkosigan

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
Sweet! A breather after some heavy stuff. Elan is adorable.
There's a typo, though: V says "equivilent" instead of "equivalent".
Belkar has always had a surprisingly good read of people and what makes them tick. Even Roy acknowledges that he should have listened to him last book.
The party couldn't see her, then so they'd be surprised too.
And even if she would have time to move back with them before the ambush, she'd spend a ling time isolated from the others... In a dungeon.
They've had a whole book titled after the one thing you never do in a dungeon.Forum Wisdom

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
Is it me, or do I get a vibe that the giant may also be commenting on his endeavour to communicate his thoughts through the comic, and the occasionally harsh reception thereto?
Or at the very least the endeavour of artistic expression in general.
