1190: "Time"

[NoMouse]

It has jumped from RGB(14,14,14) to RGB(16,16,16) or HEX #101010. My prediction has also jumped from 1027 to 1012.

Edit: Also part of the castle is falling down into water.

I was just going to remark on this myself, but with extra emphasis on the fact that this is the first time* it's actually incremented the value by two in one NewPix.

* I believe; it's a bit confusing to keep track with all the confusion caused by the different renderings.

Whatever the case, I think it goes without saying the rise of the sea and the degradation of the sand castles is greatly accelerated compared with the prior 800+ frames.

But I said it anyway, because sometimes things that go without saying are worth saying.

The obvious being that which I refer to in the first sentence.

Firstly, I'd like to address buffygirl!
Seems like you had some hard times a few NewPages back! Hats that got thrown away and someone thought you wouldn't be able to place it on his head properly!
I for one am still very happy with my hat! I just had a small maintenance related question: Do I have to water my flowers? Wouldn't want them to dry out!

Spritz daily with unsemenatedcoffeebaconwithdoublebabbies. Otherwise you'll ruin the croissant.

So some internets, kudos and an oven-fresh Croissant for you, Sweet buffygirl!
I never watched BSG, is it any good?

Thank you! Yummers!
And yes, I'm enjoying it (BSG) muchly.

Or does it so happen that the more you know how much a quark costs, the less you know how many you have?

Besides being impossible to isolate a quark and all that; if you wanted a single quark I'm guessing you'd at least need your own LHC at the piffling cost of $9billion.

I agree with the theory that the fade is more of a lighting change, such as the glare that might come from a sunset.

Also, here's a replacement for Angelastic, the tray now says "Snacks." rather illegibly, but it's there.

About CHF1.80, any flavour. I'm selling them as snacks. Would you like to buy one? I only have two.

And now, a prediction/dramatisation, possibly an actual spoiler if anyone hasn't seen The Neverending Story. (Edited to add formatting and a couple of lines. Then edited again to add more lines to add context for people not familiar with the original script. By the way, BlitzGirl should probably read this even if she's in a hurry; there is a special task in it for her.)

Spoiler:

We can pretend Megan and Rob are alternating that part if we want. It's both of them.

Megan: Are you the Great Randall?
Randall: Yes, I am,
Megan: Then you must know what can save Time!
Randall: The Child-like Beret-Wearer needs a new name.
Megan: A new name. Is that all? But that's easy! I can give her any name she wants.
Randall: No one from Time can do it, only a human child.
Megan: A human child? Where can I find one?
Randall: They can only be reached beyond the boundaries of Time. You must hurry Megan. We do not know how much longer we can withstand the Fading.

…

Megan: I have failed you, Beret-Wearer.
Childlike Beret-Wearer: No, you haven't. You've brought her with you.
Megan: Who?
Childlike Beret-Wearer: The Earthling child. The one who can save us all.
Megan: You knew about the Earthling child?!
Childlike Beret-Wearer: Of course. I knew everything.
Megan: My castle was destroyed, I nearly got hit on the head with a bukkit, and I just barely got away from the Fading. For what?! To find out what you already knew?!
Childlike Beret-Wearer: It was the only way to get in touch with an Earthling.
Megan: But I didn't get in touch with an Earthling!
Childlike Beret-Wearer: Yes, you did.
Childlike Beret-Wearer: She has suffered with you. She went through everything you went through. And now, she has come here with you. She's very close. Listening to every word that we say.
Megan: Where is she? If she's so close, why doesn't she arrive?!
Childlike Beret-Wearer: She doesn't realize that she's already a part of xkcd.
Megan: xkcd? What's that?
Childlike Beret-Wearer: Just as she is sharing all your adventures, others are sharing hers. They were with her when she hid from Outside in the internet.

But that's impossible!

Childlike Beret-Wearer: They were with her when she started reading the One True Thread, in which she's reading her own story right now.

…

Childlike Beret-Wearer: She has to give me a new name. She's already chosen it; she just has to call it out.

It's only a forum thread; it's not real. It's only a forum thread.

The IKEA Platform shakes and cracks. Megan falls over backward and is knocked unconscious by a bukkit. Cueball trips over and falls into the white box.

Megan! Robball! NO!

Childlike Beret-Wearer: BlitzGirl, why don't you do what you dream, BlitzGirl?

But I can't! I have to keep my feet on the ground!

Childlike Beret-Wearer: Call my name! BlitzGirl, please! Save us!

Sharkbait! Ooh-ha-ha!

…

BlitzGirl: Why is it so white?
Childlike Beret-Wearer: In the beginning it is always white.

A black pixel appears and starts growing until the two faces are outlined. It is coming from an object in the Childlike Beret-Wearer's hand. BlitzGirl looks at it.

BlitzGirl: What is that?
Childlike Beret-Wearer: One grain of sandcoffeesnowbabby. It is all that remains of my vast empire.
BlitzGirl: Time has totally disappeared?
Childlike Beret-Wearer: Yes.
BlitzGirl: Then, everything's been in vain.
Childlike Beret-Wearer: No, it hasn't. Time can arise anew, from your dreams and wishes, BlitzGirl.
BlitzGirl: How?
Childlike Beret-Wearer: Open your hand.

She puts the grain into BlitzGirl's hand, and she looks at it.

Childlike Beret-Wearer: What are you going to wish for ?
BlitzGirl: I don't know.
Childlike Beret-Wearer: Then there will be no Time any more.
BlitzGirl: How many wishes do I get?
Childlike Beret-Wearer: As many as you want. And the more wishes you make, the more magnificent Time will become.

WARNING: Color space nerd-post, feel free to skip...

Chrome seems to be displaying a gamma of 1.0, or a Linear color space (as opposed to sRGB which is an odd linear/2.4 gamma mix, averaging a ~2.2 gamma correction).

sRGB is the de facto color space/gamut standard for the internet, most computer/mobile displays and in-application workspaces, although an absolute linear color space is now gaining much ground popular as working color spaces in CG animation and other graphic/animation color workflows.

sRGB vs. Linear.

The following illustration shows the difference between a scale with linearly-increasing encoded luminance signal (linear input) and a scale with linearly-increasing intensity (i.e., gamma-corrected) scale (linear output).



On most displays (those with gamma of about 2.2), one can observe that the linear-intensity scale has a large jump in perceived brightness between the intensity values 0.0 and 0.1, while the steps at the higher end of the scale are hardly perceptible. The linearly-encoded scale, which has a nonlinearly-increasing intensity, will show much more even steps in perceived brightness.

I think Montov means that the grey is totally uniform. If the lighting was changing a la a sunset then you would expect to see some variation in the colour of the semencoffeecancerbabyicesand.

Not necessarily. A visible gradient presupposes that the frame is oriented West --> East (or East --> West) and that the sun must be to either side.

We all seem to be in agreement with regards to grisometry, but I think we should continue to state the source of each measurement to avoid confusion.

As you can see from my deliberately misleading example images:

Having the sun set from the right or left would produce noticeable gradients

+X_Sunset

-X_Sunset

Whereas if the sun were oriented perpendicular to the XY plane of the comic we might not notice any visible gradients until after it was nearly below the horizon

Z-Offset_Sunset

In all cases assume that the sun would (over the course of a sunset) be traveling down in the Y direction

Edit: oops. I forgot the important part:

Spoiler:

I think the large number of periods is starting to become confusing. The periods should be grouped into episodes of about 150 frames each. The episodes should again be grouped into eras of about 900 frames each. Larger categories will still have to be invented, but this will do for now.

How about the Pre-expansion¹ episode² from 001-136 and the Castleiferous³ episode⁴ from 137-324.


¹i.e. the Precambrian
²I'm not a fan of the term 'episode' for this Time division.
³From Carboniferous
⁴Still not a fan.
⁵EDITED⁶ to fix grammar.
⁶ETA edit note

The idea of bigger sections (I prefer the term eras rather than episodes, to keep to geologic time references, and the larger categories VrookLamar called eras could be called eons) has been brought up before but not implemented. The term 'Castleiferous' is wonderful.

How about this?

Geological Time.png

I had suggested Eras way back on page 351, but never updated the WIki:

Spoiler:

I applaud Blitzgirl for her tireless effort in clearly delineating each Period of Time. I would like to propose that Time can also be divided into two Eras--The Castle Era and the Scaffolding Era. The two era are distinct not only in terms of building materials but also, I think, of mood. In the Castle Era, the two are relaxing on the beach and decide to build a castle, and a bigger castle. The whole thing, the recursive castles, the trebucheting of the castles, all seems to have a sense of play. And as Cueball says at the end, "It's been fun. . ."

For me, the Scaffolding Era seems to have a more ominous tone. The idea that they are young and inexperienced (and not very bright), and are just idly wondering about how the world works is interesting, and possible. However, I sense something deeper, and it's not just the ocean. The concern about the rising water level, the confusion about their surroundings, it all seems to have a lost and worried tone. Maybe I'm just imagining it (I am the Imaginator, after all) but the two sections seem to be very different.

The problem I see with this is that Time can also be divided into the Pre and Post-Flood Era. The scaffolding is present in both.

You can see into the future?

The flooding started once the water breached the wall Megan made.

Isnt that a bit presumptious to call that a "flood"?
Maybe it's just high tide?
Since they don't seem to know anything about their surrounding or how they work, maybe they arrived on the beach during low tide (which would explain the wet sand they used for building the sand castle) and then noticed the water was rising.

I agree. "flood" is a bit much. We can call it a flood when things start getting washed away.

This is an interesting point. In all the time they've been building, we haven't really seen the tide coming in and going out, have we? Just a steady increase in level. And Megan does say the sea level hasn't risen this fast before. (Although, how does she know that, when there seem to be so many basic things about the world that she doesn't know?) The tide can wash things away, especially (sand) castles, so I don't know that this would make it a flood. If it's a tide or a flood, either way, it's a very slow-moving one.

At any rate, this doesn't really affect the idea of The Castle Era and The Scaffolding Era, since it's all happening during the Scaffolding Era. If it turns out to be a flood, then within the Scaffolding Era we can have Antediluvian and Postdiluvian Epochs.

Just to add that back in to the discussion.

Puh-leeze. Page 170, bitches! (And with a followup reference to the Wikipedia article a bit further down.)

And on page 191 I actually made an attempt at it:

I tried to organize Time in a two tiered period system. This is a first Draft. Probably the male period should go under the first sandcastle period, but then it would require a third tier to separate it into the two periods it has traditionally been categorized as. EDIT: Yeah thats probably still the better idea.
