25 August 2013 Beard and eye update

That's... strange.
Can anybody explain what happened? Eye of MinMax harmed by Complains is... restoring like beard of Forgath? Was it connected to oblivion anyhow? Is it even restored or just purpled?

Shouldn't this be August 25th update??

Interesting twist. That's probably how they are getting the Key back and thus Win their way out of there

The date for the comic (and in the link) should be the 25th, not the 20th. The 20th was the Onyx update.

Ruby surmised or deduced that badly scarred tissue would be affected. I feel this was designed to restore Psimax's missing arms, as the restored parts match the person's IME.

If anything I say offends you I am sorry. It is likely late and I am tired, or I'm upset and I am not thinking straight, and though I sincerely wish I could, I can't express myself in such a way that helps you be less of a crybaby.

Hehe, purple armor, that could mean that MinMax will do a remark on Kin's green IME and cause the armor to turn green, or something like that.

Now I understand.
But wait... living with purple eye can be troubling. Like wearing sunglasses all the time. And think that Forgath will now revenge all the times MM called him gay. And Complains will kill him with laughter, when he sees that.

Or on the Jade Teapot..or maybe on Fumbles' skin color ;)

At least from the last update we are 100% sure that Minmax is going to meet with Complains. Can't wait! I have to re-read the GAP and their dire situation but...sniff...Chief....

Has anything happened to Kin's tail?

What color is Forgath's IME?

Good catch, and I think we may be drawing closer to Minmax getting to fulfill his promise to Psimax.

Also, Minmax...please stop faffing around and just chuck Kin at the healamajig posthaste. I have seen too many movies and TV shows where someone delays just an instant too long and loses out on the Thing Which Will Fix Everything.

Anyone else thinking Kin will get to strangle a resurrected Psimax with her indestructible tail?

It's the origin of Superbeard, bane of scissors and razors everywhere!
Also, Minmax might have purple skin patches on his head, depending on if that was scarred or just "lost HP".

Interesting. I wonder if PsiMax somehow studied his universe's klik or the klik in the maze to create that. Reminds me of dies arm.

I wonder what would happen if they tried to cut the beard with Oblivious.

Division by zero, sort of....

The color of his new formed beard is his IME color, as seen here, panels 3, 4 and 5: http://www.goblinscomic.org/03132012/

It's kind of taupe/tannish, but I suck at naming colors.

Hey! Why are you reading this? It's bad for your eyes, and there's nothing to see here; no words of wit or sage like advice.... Nope, none of that crap... Still here? Well, I guess you can stay for a little while, but no touching. Ok, MAYBE a little bit of touching, but don't expect a kiss... Oh, and don't expect me to cuddle afterwards, either. This is purely physical in nature, and you can't REALLY want something serious after everything we've been through? Fine... 20 seconds of heavy petting, and that's IT! Annnnnnnd done...

So if the new parts are powered by your IME, does that mean that restoring a whole tail would kill Kin from exhaustion?

And more importantly, who else is being restored? Because if the engine is executing a preprogrammed sequence, then consider who programmed it...

Doesn't sound like it will work on inanimate things from Kin's description. We'll see.

Oh hey, comic is showing up for me now! I feel like the beard and eye are going to end up looking normal eventually, though. Like, the effect'll just fade after awhile.

Nope, because the super-tough bit will eventually grow out like with dyed hair.

I'll bet that on reset PsiMax needed to do something to retain both the memories of the runs of the maze and the experience earned each maze run. I'll bet that chamber stays unchanged each time the maze resets, and the purple claws we wondered about of PsiMax are his 'repaired' arms, not a psionic projection of arms.
