Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments IV - A Rich Source of Quotassium
Not at all! I don't think anybody on the opposing side is saying that at all. Rather, we are all saying that if you don't understand it, we can clarify by presenting sources from the comic itself that support the correct interpretation, and so an external source that essentially serves a redundant purpose is unnecessary.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments IV - A Rich Source of Quotassium
I have to agree here. There are plenty enough people who've posted here saying the tweets clarified a situation they found unclear, so I don't understand why people are still arguing that it was clear enough already. As has already been pointed out, there are plenty of other quotes in here that are purely clarifying something which should have been clear already (such as the difference between a vampire getting destroyed by the sun and turning into gaseous form), so why is this one so special it can't be included?

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments IV - A Rich Source of Quotassium
Clarity on the first read is irrelevant. The information is there. I can point to the relevant strips and say "here is the big blur comment. Here is him remembering his mother. here is him remembering he got his mother's cooking from her house. Clearly, he remembers some details."
“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments IV - A Rich Source of Quotassium
Looks like we'll soon reach the page limit for this thread, so we're going to need a new title!
To honor what seems to be our most frequent and most contentious exchanges, I'd like to propose:

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments IV - A Rich Source of Quotassium
Ah yes, better not forget that! Let's see, I know we had a couple suggestions last thread that didn't make it, maybe with the multi-pun power of Quotassium out of the way they'll do better this time.
So, dropping these here for now:
- The Index of the Giant's Comments V - On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
- The Index of the Giant's Comments V - Banana Republic
- The Index of the Giant's Comments V - The Giant Writes Back

Don't you think the banana meme has gone too far? It was an amusing typo followed by a very funny edit, but what's it got to do with The Giant's comments?

I just spent like 15 minutes on a Rhyming Dictionary website thinking the same thing, but for the life of me I couldn't think of anything with "The Force Awakens".
The best I could get is that this thread is a source, and source rhymes with Force....like I said, I got nothing.,

Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments IV - A Rich Source of Quotassium
Well, when ThePhantasm contacted me about taking over curatorship (because of that "real life" stuff), the intent was to roll over near the end of the thread. I remembered thinking it was sad that none of the title suggestions at the end of the first thread were used, and decided I was going to get input from posters to determine what the next thread title would be....And when ThePhantasm's timetable changed and I had to port to a new thread immediately, there wasn't any time to actually do that, and the joke suggestion was all I had to work with, so I decided to go with it rather than reverse course to pick a title myself. It's a very tangential connection, yes, but still a connection.
Also, I'm easily amused and this continues to be a fruitful source of amusement for me

I'll throw my lot in with the Banana Republic.
Some day I'll probably peel off and support a less fruitful title, but that day is not today.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments IV - A Rich Source of Quotassium
First read, seventh read, hundred and twelfth read, it doesn't really matter how many times you read it before you figure out what it means. If people are consistently getting confused, the strip could maybe have been written better, but the information is there.
Didn't we have this same argument about the strip where the demigod priests showed up and voted?“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments IV - A Rich Source of Quotassium
+1 for "The Index of the Giant's Comments V - On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index"
(although to honor the original quote and I think it looks nicer, I wouldn't capitalize as much and would use "On a saner forum, we wouldn't need this Index".)
And since I'm posting anyway, I add my voice to include the Twitter quote.
From reading 666,670 and 1022 (especially in that order) it is more than easy to conclude that he remembers some details. True, you could argue 670 with rule of funny and 1022 with posting a link the elevator scene in 600 (which still allows the argument that we don't actually see him having the food in 601, making it unclear whether that is some part he remembers or not, since we don't know where the elevator is in relation to the Big Golden Gate). So I can't see how linking to those three strips alone settles the matter since the description of 666 ("big, fulfilling blur") + 670/1022 makes it basically impossible to say what he remembers or not. Basically a whole range of answers from "basically nothing besides the sword move" to "quite some details like sexual intercourse of his mother, eating at home and thus also some other stuff" is possible and there is no clear answer in-comic*.
The Twitter quote makes it "perfectly" clear (or as clear as you can get with "blur" and "fuzzy"), so I honestly see no reason to object against inclusion. At least it says Roy had the food while being in a place in afterlife he can remember - which imo is something that can't be concluded from the comic alone.
*The problem is that for the story overall it isn't really necessary which position is actually true. As long es he remembers an amount between "something" and "not anything" the comic has no contradiction.
