The programmer who invented the .gif format pronounced it like Jif, for what it's worth.

I didn't write any of that.

[up][up]It is a strange thing for a creator to be so wrong about the thing they created.

Well, the "G" in "gif" stands for "graphics", which would imply a hard "g" sound.

[up]The 'P' In JPEG stands for 'photographics', so it means it is pronounced 'J-pheg', right?

I mean, I do pronounce with that "hard g", but this is a silly argument. Then again, it is a silly discussion to begin with.

I have gotten into more than one online argument about why Force Lightning is considered a Dark Side power and fighting over the pronunciation of .gif is too nerdy even for me.

Society has already decided that a soft g gif would be written jif.

@Red Savant: Guaranteed dark. Power used by dipping your psyche into raw anger (see: several points in the Revenge of the Sith novel) should not be considered Light Side, ever.

Luke pretty much Force Chokes two Gamorrean Guards in Return of the Jedi doesn't he?

I mean, he Force Pushes them into walls, seemingly by the throat and in a manner that is basically choking them with the Force, based off their reactions.

Addendum: Heatth's the right one here. There are words starting with g that are pronounced soft; such as genuine. Society's decided nothing but that it's pronounced either way.

I guess Luke would be Lord of Hope and Anakin Lord of Rage. Maybe Heirs instead of Lords since they kind of inherit their positions from their mentors. I thought about Seer of Hope for Obi Wan but he played a fairly active role for his part so something like, Knight of Light seems more appropriate. Maybe breath. Seer of Hope seems to fit Yoda more than anything. Lord seems to fit Palpatine but I like the idea of him being a Seer of Rage to add to the duality of Luke and Anakin.

I wouldn't actually call Anakin a Lord. He doesn't have control over his emotions; they have control over him.

@Heatth:

1. A P is only pronounced like that when an H follows it, which it doesn't in the abbreviation.

2. It wasn't a serious argument to begin with. tongue

Imp isn't willing to bugger back here so I'll tell you all he sees Anakin as a Bard of Space for him.

I'd see him more of a Rage guy frankly but I don't know how well that works for when he's actually Vader. Hm...

Luke is Hope, I think, and Obi-Wan being Light would make zero sense. Hope could work for him, and Yoda; if you think Seer would work, but be too passive, perhaps Mage is what you're looking for?

I find it complete bullshit that you can win a game of SBURB but still be killed if you land on some planet with gunpowder and get shot while trying to help someone.

Only if you get shot heroically helping someone.

If you are e.g. giving a hungry person a sandwich, and get "sucker stabbed"(/" sucker shot") by someone you were unaware of, chances are that will not count as Heroic, and you will revive, given that you are god tier.

So whatever gets prototyped apparently has a very big mouth.

The music actually doesn't seem very Homestuck. Good, but not quite the same...

Heh, suddenly when I think of "point-and-click" I'm reminded of some old Humongous games I played when I was younger. Freddi Fish, Spy Fox, Fatty Bear...I wonder if Hiveswap is going to be as easy as those games? Maybe some combat, but mostly just exploring...

More A Lee Martinez. Both in the Helen and Troy setting.

Among the Gods

Troy gets a nemesis

Chasing Monsters

Going around saving the world is a good way to avoid less apocalyptic problems

Honestly, both a bit spoilery for the book.
