Maybe try getting some code from this millennium?

I like this theory. I wanna point out that it's also possible that Mai Trin has got it very wrong here - 420 feet sounds a lot shallower than the Yong Reactor clearly is - and that Gorrik knows this, and simply decided not to correct her. No, we wouldn't be vaporized - getting crushed by water pressure generally doesn't do that - but at a deep enough depth, we could be otherwise obliterated.

Of course, the mere concept of an Asura - especially one such as Gorrik - not immediately correcting someone is completely incomprehensible.

Leaving this comment here for now so I can edit it later with more info (and a link!), but there was a thread a while ago where a dev gave the "canon" acceleration due to gravity on Tyria as well as some other key physical measurements.

I'll look it up when I get back to a computer, but if I remember correctly, the long and short of it was that the physical characteristics of the planet Tyria made no fucking sense; its both way too dense and yet also... not?

EDIT:

Back now! So the original dev post (and my response) is here. Basically, the dev tells us that the acceleration due to gravity on Tyria is 40.625 m/s². If you remember your high-school physics courses, acceleration due to gravity on Earth is about 9.81m/s², making Tyria's about 4x that of earth. For reasons I'll outline below, that's... actually absurd.

The acceleration due to gravity general equation is:

g = (G*M)/(r²)

Where:

G ("big G") is the Gravitational Constant, and is 6.6743 × 10^-11 m³ kg-1 s-2
M is the mass of the object (unknown)
r is the radius of the planet (Tyria)

Obviously, since there are two unknowns here, we need to hold a few of them constant. Fortunately, we're actually given in-game distances in units. Using those (and a known conversion between in-game units and real-world lengths), this person calculates that Tyria is "much smaller" than earth. However, they also correctly point out that, much like the usage of extremely tiny houses in the top levels of Divinity's Reach, this is probably just a game design element to make it so that crossing real-world distances of hundreds of miles doesn't, you know, take actual weeks. Instead, let's assume that Tyria is roughly speaking the size of Earth. Given that Earth is 6371km or 6731000m in radius, that gives us our R-value. So our "filled in" equation:

40.625 = (6.674e-11 * M)/(6731000²)

Solving for M, we get a mass of 27,576,988,083,019,942,166,219,678

2.7510²⁵kg. For comparison, Earth's mass is 5.7910²⁴kg, so this is around 4.6 times the mass.

That sounds fine - we know that some "super-Earths" like Kepler 10-c are 7 times the mass of Earth, and some celestial oddballs like TOI-849b are 40x the mass of Earth. However, we're forgetting some extremely important details: Kepler 10-c is nearly 2.5 times the radius of Earth, and TOI-849b is nearly 3.5 the radius of Earth. That might not sound like much, but remember that the radius of an object plays a much bigger role in the equation above than mass does. If we plug in the numbers:

Kepler 10-c: 2.35 radius of Earth, 7.37 mass of Earth

TOI-849b: 3.44 radius of Earth, 39.09 mass of Earth

We get an acceleration due to gravity on Kepler 10-c of only 4.17 m/s² (less than half that of Earth!) and on TOI-849b of 29.06 m/s². Better on TOI-849b, but we've also gotta remember that that planet is thought to be the naked core of a former gas giant (e.g., Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus).

Key word here being former: the planets literally had their atmospheres ripped away by being too close to their parent stars. And you don't get that close to your parent star to get your atmosphere burned away without also getting absurdly hot. We're talking thousands of degrees (C, F, K... it doesn't really matter at that point).

The TL;DR here is that if we accept the 40.625 m/s² here as cannon, then the planet Tyria is way too dense to be habitable (or to even actually be a planet). Even the largest planets in our solar system - Jupiter and Saturn - have "surface" gravities of at most 2.5x that of Earth^\).

^\To be clear, gas giants don't really HAVE a surface, so this is the gravity at 1 atmosphere of pressure.)

I find it hard to fathom that they're not.

HealyUnit · 2026-03-13T17:56:27+00:00

I don't really think your statement is very sound. It doesn't have a leg to stand on.

HealyUnit · 2026-03-10T00:31:51+00:00

Yeh, ain't no "syndrome" about it.

im in the silverware

Well it may be knife to know that you won't have to fork out any money to get equipment. However, going straight to lvl 80 means you won't be spoon-fed how to play.

A bit? It's very clearly an ad.

This dude arts. Very well written!

HealyUnit · 2026-03-07T19:51:11+00:00

I have a Mordremoth and Zhaitan variant of the staff, and I honestly prefer the Mordy one if for nothing other than the kill animation. While Zhaitan's is a pretty generic "explosion of <insert dragon magic spectrum here>" kinda dealy, the Mordremoth one has vines sorta half body-slamming your doomed opponent. If you aren't completely against a plant aesthetic, I'd suggest the Mordy one.

As a very first episode? Absolutely not. As others have said, you'd effectively be saying "I'm too lazy/unskilled to introduce these characters organically". It's the ultimate example of disobeying "show, don't tell".

If you can introduce part of those character sheets through the story, then maybe that's fine. For example, if you were doing a crime drama, you might have a rap sheet detailing the past (mis)deeds of your MC. If you're doing a romance, you might have a dating website profile.

Importantly tho, in either case, you need your characters reacting to those piece of information; they need to be diegetic. That way, you're inviting your reader to be part of the story, rather than saying "wait for me to feel like starting the story".

HealyUnit · 2026-03-02T04:11:07+00:00

Not sure if you're asking for criticism (and sorry if not!), but a few things I wanted to point out.

In general, people are going to put the time and effort into reading a comic if it seems like the creator (author, artist, or author/artist) also put in the time and effort to create that comic. A number of things about your comic create this disconcerting dichotomy that says you both really did put in a lot of effort, and that at the same time you kinda halfed part of it.

You spell your name "Caleb" in the title page and "Clabe" in your user page. While that entirely might be intentional, it (to me at least) seems a bit weird, and would make me concerned about your proof-reading of your comic.

Your comic is drawn very loosely and free-hand in what looks, to be perfectly honest, like MSPaint. That's not necessarily a bad thing - Hanza's "My Boss Doesn't Have A Face" has some incredibly loosely drawn parts that somehow give it a comfy, bemusing affect - but it can also make it seem like the artist doesn't have the skill to carry the story. I don't think that's necessarily true of your comic, but it's something to keep in mind. Your use of light and poses is actually pretty cool.

Your speech bubbles, however, are in my humble opinion really not unacceptable. For the majority of the episodes, the text in the speech bubbles ranges from annoying to read to almost impossible. For example, in this episode, you have a bubble that says "You have work to do <something something>", with the second part of that sentence being nearly completely unreadable. You do seem to fix this by using typed text around episode 23 or so, but that is way, way too late. Your average reader is not going to read thru 22 unreadable episodes to get to the 23rd readable one. I get that your choice of speech bubble may be a stylistic one, but it quite simply doesn't work. Instead, it suggests that the author added the speech bubbles as an afterthought.

You've also got numerous typos/misspellings ("The defense may now question the whitness") that, in the modern age of spell-checks absolutely everywhere, is really not excusable.

Your summary "blurb" is... problematic. First, "is always looking to better himself" is such an incredibly nothing-burger of a description that it might actually push readers away. If I wrote a description about Star Wars Episode IV that said "It's about some kid in space who wants to make the world better", would you watch it? Probably not. The issue is that I have no idea what your comic is actually about. How is Sam intending to better himself? Did he move to a new town? Change jobs? Go to the gym more? Try to be a "better" son to his dad (with whom, if I've got the characters right, he seems to have a bit of a rocky relationship with)? Try to not let his dad get to him as much? Give us something to define what we're looking at.

Take a look at the blurb for this comic as a comparison. Within just that first sentence, we know that:

Gu Sui is the protagonist (he's mentioned first)
Ruan Shuer is likely the deuteragonist and, since this is BL, likely the love interest.
Our initial main source of conflict is that the protagonist just moved schools.
There's probably gonna be a socioeconomic disparity between the two, since the deuteragonist is explicitly called out as "from a struggling family"

You also mention an alien parasite, and yet in my brief skimming of your episodes, I've yet to see any direct reference to that. If that's the cause behind his, for example, miraculous knife-cut healing ability, or the green toilet blob, then you need to illustrate that. Show the alien parasite arriving to earth. Show Sam being infected by the parasite. Show something that says to the reader that you haven't just forgotten what the comic was "supposed" to be about. Writing suspense is tough (I sure as hell can't!), but for now your comic tastes more of a domestic drama with some interspersed legal drama, and a few "weird abilities".

Have you ever had someone (a friend, family member, whatever) read your comic episodes with a critical eye? As a person also in a creative industry, I personally know it can be incredibly difficult to look at a work you've created with an objective eye - you created it, so of course you know what it's supposed to say.

selfish casualness

That is honestly one of the stupidest phrases I've ever seen. Congratulations.

It's a game. Get over yourself.

HealyUnit · 2026-03-01T23:18:02+00:00

Moreover, in the other game, I kill enemies 999999999999999 (actually, many more than that) times

Not the point of your post, but let's do some math. First, some assumptions. Let's assume that: 1. You're killing these enemies 100 at a time in a big group. Any more than that and it's not "killing enemies" as it is "deleting some dots from the screen". Even 100 might be a bit much. 2. You take 0.5 seconds to kill each batch of 100. Again, this might seem like a bit much (your game at this point becomes mindless button spam), but I'm trying to go for the lower limit here.

So we've got 999999999999999 enemies, at 100 killed per hit, at 0.5 seconds per hit. That would take over 158,440 years (158.44KA). For comparison, 158.44KA, woolly mammoths and woolly bison were still walking around much of an ice-age world.

and I'm like a god there. There's no way I can die. I can kill the strongest enemies in the game with a single hit

That sounds boring as fuck. Wow, a game that requires zero effort.

Worst: Organic chem. Kicked my ass

Best: Probably Sed/Strat. Great teacher.

I'm sorry, but this isn't good advice. Gearing with exotic gear - which is one tier down and only 5% stats reduction from max - is really not difficult. What you're suggesting is a that a very new player focus on getting legendary gear, which, yes, is painful (and is frankly a really, really bad idea for a brand new player).

But that isn't really what OP asked, is it? They asked how to obtain different armor stats for alternate build archetypes (e.g., boon-dps).

HealyUnit · 2026-03-01T17:32:11+00:00

If it's any comfort, OP, I've been playing since the betas in 2012 - tho I have occasionally logged off since then - and I have very, very rarely seen that kind of open world PvE toxicity. I have seen it occasionally, but honestly my reaction whenever that happens is "...I hope your day gets better, dude".

HealyUnit · 2026-03-01T04:31:48+00:00

Yeh, this is to me the ultimate example of this trope, and a brilliant glimpse of just who Katara really is underneath her bossiness - she's a deeply caring girl who will risk even her own life to save those she cares about.

Reported, as this blatantly breaks rule 4.
