Heterocephalus

I´m sorry to hear that and hope he will pay on time. Maybe he has mental issues that keep him from doing it?

I enjoyed reading it, appreciated the weird humor and the ugliness.

Your comment was simply what went trough your mind in that moment, nothing wrong with it and for sure nothing important enough to fuck with your mind.

Chirox

Did you just imply the existence of ... thinking machines?!?!

Haha, that was a bit of a wacky post above.

I liked it!

Yesterday I finished off a huge job on Calvin’s apartment

I am happy you made it on time, well done!

treated myself to some of his fine booze Oh, my head…

lol

Anyway, yeah, I think you have the spirit of scanlation. Other definitions you’ll find online. It’s a bit of a touchy subject, as we don’t want to take away proper royalties to the creators, you know? Part of why we say ‘extracts are fine, but no pirated links!’ in the sidebar.

Im am undecided in the matter, I want artists to get every penny they deserve for their work. On the other hand, I think most people who pirate graphic novels do it because otherwise they simply could not afford reading them. At the same time people who can afford buying graphic novels will often pirate and then buy the stuff they like, so pirating can even increase sales.

Anyway, I’m not sure if I’m fully “back” yet, but we’ll see.

No pressure mate, take your time.

I really appreciate your focus on Jodo’s Dune series lately

Thank you, happy that you like it!

and in any case, there’s a HUGE archive of posts here for anyone wanting more EGN+ content! :D

Exactly! Just think of our first few months streak for example. I think I have to go back sometime and look at all those cool posts! :D

Das erste Buch ist ausreichend, mehr geht immer wenn du dann möchtest :)

Oh, sehr interessant! Das ist sogar noch eine andere Version des Bildes, der Blickwinkel ist ca. 45° nach vorne gedreht. Das Bild aus dem Script ist hingegen eine Seitenansicht aus dem 90° Winkel. Beim Betrachten wird mir mal wieder klar wie virtuos Giger organische und technische Strukturen verschmelzen lässt!

Great to have you back!

I also never heard the term scanlation before, so here is what I could find out just now. Scanlation is well known in the manga community, meaning fans making translations using a scanner and the results getting distributed digitally, usually with permission of the artist. However, there seems to have developed a practice of not just translating but also modifying the content to a degree, just look at page 2 of the third link you posted: https://web.yongsai.net/comics/gaston-lagaffe/gaffes-and-gadgets/2

Ja, genau diese Ausgabe! Bis auf den ersten Teil, den ich leider mal jemand geliehen habe, ist sie vollständig :) Falls du Dune bisher nicht auf englisch gelesen hast, ich empfehle es dir, Herbert schreibt richtig gut und einiges davon ist bei der Übersetzung verloren gegangen.

Yeah! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harkonnen_Chair

I have the same edition!

Maybe he has relatives you could call, or maybe some of our users live near your place and might help? Otherwise, think about what is the most important and what you can realistically get done in time, focus on that and ignore the rest for now. Best wishes to both of you!
