Hello! The mirroring site is going through some growing pains with a new account system, so Superego can't be updated on there right now.
(edit: I have fixed my issues! You can comment on adventures now?! woah!)

The comic is having some changes of its own as well. I got a new drawing tablet!

Now, onward!

>But isn't the true prison our own selves?

Wow. That's profound.

Maybe you'd write an essay on it if you weren't busy doing nothing while this guy checks every door he comes across.

"I don't understand...the room with the switch should be here..."
"How can you tell?"
"It was in the basement!"

"...And what happens if we never find it?"
"I...um."

SAME HONESTLY...

RE: Superego - Unclever title - 06-08-2017

Is there even basement left in the basement anymore?
I mean at this point shouldn't we consider this a total debasement?

boooooo!


>grey, does this LOOK like a basement anymore

Of course it doesn't, but it still has the properties of the basement you had programmed.

The monitors were still down here. The room initially containing the shadows was still down here. You were able to teleport there, even!

You have to believe that there is stability amongst the chaos. You have to stay in control.

You have to keep looking.

>Grey: Could it have moved? This place has been getting more unstable after all

[Image: 2321.gif]

That's...a possibility, but you'd like to explore every option down here before you go on a wild goose chase.

"Hey! Are you listening to me?"

Even though things appear to be collapsing, the worst damage is still in the main hospital areas. Until something like, say, the individual subjects' rooms combining all into one happens, you have to assure yourself you still have a shot.

"What happens if we never find it, huh? Are we trapped here forever?"

And--

>Sam: Want answers, dammit

[Image: 2322.gif]

"Hello?! Am I talking to a brick wall??"

[Image: 2323.gif]

"It's here."
"Excuse me?"

[Image: 2324.gif]

"The control switch."
"Uh..."
"It's in here"

[Image: 2325.gif]

"I can feel it"


RE: Superego - NonAnalogue - 06-12-2017

Grey: Feel correctly.

RE: Superego - Benedict - 06-12-2017

ominous disappearance of punctuation, check. ominous glimpse at what may or may not be his eyes, check. boy oh boy grey i bet nothing upsetting is about to happen to you!!!

On top of totally jinxing things this is exactly the kind of line of thought in a dream that will inevitably lead to that exact thing within a dream happening.

I can't tell you the number of times when in a dream I thought "Well I sure hope [undesirable thing] doesn't happen" only for that exact thing to happen immediately after. Sometimes even simultaneous with the thought itself.

I mean sure this is a shared dreamspace supposed to be kept stable by a machine, but if even one mind is considering the possibility of the individual subject rooms merging I think it's reasonable to assume things will soon be trending that way (assuming they aren't already).

[Image: 2326.gif]

You have to admit you're getting anxious, but you can't help but wonder if he's right.

It'd be nice to get this all over with. But where's this sudden intuition of his coming from?

Freaky.

>Grey: Well, open it already!

"Sam."
"What?!"
"Do you remember the room I showed you with the intercom."
"I...yes?"
"Tell everyone to come here."

RE: Superego - Jovian - 07-10-2017

NOTE: Photobucket seems to be going the way of Dropbox (i.e., disabling/limiting hotlinking), so I finally bit the bullet and purchased my own hosting space to end this circus once and for all. Just like last time, I won't be fixing any images on the forum threads since that'd require time and effort editing every post, but the mirror will always be clean and up-to-date.

Big props to the mirror site finally having mass page editing; I would've lost all motivation if I had to replace every single link a second time in one year.


>Sam: Is this really the time?!

"Why, exactly? Don't we have better things to do?"
"The simulation is failing. It's the end for us."
