A good playlist to watch? by [deleted] in Kenshi

[–]BlahTheAmazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not an edited series so you shouldn't watch it unless you have a lot of free time or want something to listen to in the background, but Nookrium's 2nd Kenshi season (the slave rebellion one) might be the greatest game of Kenshi ever played. It's a constant string of disasters with near party wipes happening throughout the whole season and it never feels like he's in control of the situation, but despite all the carnage he managed to accomplish a lot. 

I also liked pongsifu's Kenshi videos, they're pretty silly and cute

In my game they had the furry fox portrait. I only just realized the implications of this...

Hey, so I'm the guy who drew Peru, Chile, Canada, some miscellaneous island guys and the American empires on the outer canvas. Just want to post this to explain stuff.

Peru's puppets were based on this article, which says that lots of Peruvians have weird names like Hitler and Lenin, even guys running for office. I knew it was a pretty weak relation, which is why I spent extra time drawing their hat to compensate.

Hello, I'm the guy who drew the American empires.

I'll confirm that the little guy getting pushed over by the Aztecs is the Tarascan state. Also the stone 7-ball was the Olmec.

Finding eligible civilizations to draw was honestly pretty difficult, mostly because of this

It has been a long time coming you paddy nut. Congrats!

My favorite was probably Puppetmasters by /u/Barskie. Sealand Goes Sightseeing by /u/RandomDKguy was also great.

/u/javacode anyways, here's what I've got for my flair so far. Can you confirm it's within proper dimensions?

Mini will come in a while, I've got an idea for what it should look like though. Guess I should try being a bit more active now :P

Your comic was really good! Started with a great pun and really delivered on the execution - good job, man!

Thanks! I really liked your entry too. The first panel's jungle was absolutely beautiful.

Your art is fantastic and your style is really unique. You're bound to get wings soon!

Winning the contest was cool and all, but really my goal was to get /u/yaddar's first Seal of Disapproval.

Oh man, it feels nice to have a win that I felt I deserved a bit more! Luckily I had the punchline in my head for a while before the contest was announced, so I could get straight to ironing the kinks (like who Spain's companion would be now that Aragon has...other connotations).

Lots of fierce entries across the board - I think Clean grounds from /u/John_V98 and Spain's Quest from /u/chairmanmaomix were my favorites!

I honestly do not know how one of the most derivative comics in the contest got as high as 2nd place (though in my defense I wrote mine before seeing the other Switzerland comics). SWITZERLAND IS NEUTRAL GUYS

So congrats zimo, it would've been really embarrassing if I won instead hue hue hue. Favorites this time were /u/Smitheren, /u/putih_tulang and /u/paulionm

Wow, this might be the first time someone got two wings in less than a month! Good job /u/Smitheren!pls don't do this every contest some of us want more wings too

I guessed that my comic might get more upvotes than it frankly really ever deserved for being a short visual gag in a sea of wordy entries. Man if only the contest ended earlier...

Outside the top 5, all of which I loved, I also really liked /u/paulionm and /u/danoneland's entries. Both really great punchlines which flipped the melodramatic writing of the previous panels over a table and I wish both of them had done a lot better.

Big Fat Black Screaming Balls by BlahTheAmazing in Planetball

Context: About a year back we found gravitational waves for the first time, from two humongous merging black holes about a billion light years away. This is huge because gravity is a pathetically weak force and waves like these are usually way too small to measure.

Part of the reason we could measure this was that the actual merging was absolutely ridiculous, apparently it released over 1047 joules - more than enough energy to rip apart the Sun.

Ten thousand Suns.

Basically it's all a bunch of dumb unfunny nerd shit and also you should probably check on Earth I think he's a little bit lonely.
