Suggestion: Surprise Incest

I realize that the last attempt for putting an image to this trope went nowhere, but afterwards I found this◊ Hiimdaisy comic. I wonder if it would be okay to use panels 4-7 or so.

Oh gosh. Look what I just found: Oedipus Rex Summary◊ Source...

I just edited your suggestion. Give me a sec while I upload and link it.

...

Edited for important panels.

It is what it is.

what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else

I don't really like the OP. The lines and text are too hard to see. It makes it rather unpleasant to look at. Perhaps the contrast can be increased or something.

Oh, and that new ninja icon looks really cool. I know I'm not using this properly, but I just want to try it.

Give me a sec. I'll be back with a version with the text darkened. I was think the same thing.

...

The Link should be updated now.

It is what it is.

OP is a very weak yes. Think thumb pointed at about 2:00. Could probably afford to ditch the third panel of the edited version in 2.

"Polite life will fill you full of cancer." - Iggy Pop "I've seen the future, brother, it is murder." -Leonard Cohen

Isn't OP's suggestion a spoiler for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney?

Moon◊

The edited OP suggestion is better than nothing. I have no idea how it could be a spoiler if I can't link it to the game.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman

So is the page image for The Resenter.

A quick search reveals that there's no mention of it on that page, but it is on Hiimdaisy though as a spoiler. I don't think it's much of a problem though... well, actually I dunno. I've never played the game nor read the comic. If it is an issue, what of the Oedipus suggestion?

Personally I like them both and have no problem with either.

• EDIT

Since there's no mention of what work this particular plot twist comes from, is it really a problem? The comic that 1.1 is from covers a variety of different works. This image shouldn't be a problem since no names or works are mention in the cartoon right?

It is what it is.

Well, if you look at the very top of the comic, "Turnabout" is in the name. That links it to the Ace Attorney series.

The suggestion gets a weak from me...I'd suggest losing that title banner and trying to take out some of the space between the panels to make the final resize a little bigger.

Yeah, that'd help. :) Let me go ahead and make that happen cap'n.

EDIT: Ehhh... hold on...Okay. How's this one?

Don't use Flickr, you can use the site's uploader.

I just Flickr the stuff until my Photoshopping work is done. When everyone's happy with the finished product, then I upload it with the uploader. But if that's easier for posts, I guess I can do that sometimes too.

It is what it is.

It's just a matter of convenience really, either is good but the site uploader is preferable.

Well, it's much better than before.

Let me know if there's anything else needed. :)

It is what it is.

Lakija, The advantage of uploading files onto other sites is is that you can get around the 350 px wide and 200 KB limit, which is good for sharing a larger picture for someone else to work on. But in this case, where the uploaded image is 350 px and 85.1 KB, you might as well upload it to TV Tropes anyway. Then, the legwork is already done, and it allows the picture to be seen in the forum (as well as increasing the odds that it will be noticed and get support).

As for alternate sites, I personally prefer Imgur because I find it the easiest to view, and it's easy to download pictures from it. Photobucket is annoying to view on mobile, and Flickr makes you click on this inconspicuous [...] button all the way to the right to be able to download it.

One more thing to rant about: as a rule of thumb, I always save images as a PNG unless it's over 200 KB and can't be compressed, or (as in this case), it's already a JPG, and I did not alter it. Saving as JPGs creates artifacts, which reduces quality (which is bad). If I can't get a PNG under 200 KB, then I make the JPG as close to 200 KB as possible. I don't know if you saved it as a JPG or if Flickr converted it, but an image of this size and lack of colors should be able to save as a PNG under 200 KB easily.

Lastly, when posting an uploaded image in the forum, post the URL only (without brackets or "quoteright:350:").

Okay thanks. I'll make sure to avoid lossy filetypes; I will convert them before upload from now on. I didn't even realize I could upload pngs. :) Should have probably checked.

I don't particularly like flickr either, but I already had an account.

Thanks so much. I hope this makes my IM activity easier in the future. :D

It is what it is.

Just remember: it doesn't make sense to ”convert” a JPG to a PNG because quality loss cannot be undone, so it would just be wasting space. A JPG saved as a PNG won't improve the quality (and will be a larger file), but a JPG saved as a JPG again will be worse than before because an image looses quality whenever you save it as a JPG. PNG's are great because they save space compared to bitmaps, but are completely lossless. Certain programs like PNGGauntlet will lossesly compress PNG’s as much as possible. In short, if you are editing an image, saving it as a PNG will avoid degradation.

Filetypes and resolution issues were always the two most difficult things for me to remember. lol Thanks a lot.

It is what it is.

Bump; any other thoughts on 19?

It looks good.

I'm good with that as well
