Googling "Witch Planet Soccer" helped me finding all the active QC discussion forums, yay :D
This past week I have had two conversations about U-Matic which was better than S-VHS but worse than Beta. Many news companies used it
Dreams of nonexistant media format is just the kind of fanfiction I would be qualified to write.
*murmurs* EBCDIC
"another"? Now I want to know how many times this has happened before.
Emily having dream-access to an alternate universe would explain more than one thing.
I'm not even going to bother to write a shipping comment.
I bought a Sony minidisc system way back in journalism school, for its broadcast-quality performance, only to find Sony had made it nearly impossible to download or utilize the resulting files. This finally made me a NeverSony person. Grrr.
I secretly suspect that somewhere in a deep dark NSA lab someone has just screamed "HOW DID SHE KNOW ABOUT cyberdisks!"
does time flow in the opposite direction for Dale?
The first time my house was burglarized the thieves stole my VHS deck, turntable, CD changer, dual cassette deck, and DVD player. They left the Laserdisc player in the middle of the living room floor. I guess they knew....
To this day, I own the Star Wars original trilogy, pre-any-special-anything, on laserdisc, boxed set. I haven't had a laserdisc player in years and years, but how can I let go of these? Answer: I can't, apparently. Sadly they have failed to become big ticket collector's items.
I swear, if at least one couple doesn't get together I'm gonna be peeved
I thought at first she was referring to Capacitance Electronic Discs. I had never heard of them until recently when I watched a video from a guy putting various media formats in an SEM. They very nearly fit her description, could pass for what she is holding (CEDs are much darker though) and were pretty obscure.
Damn, I feel old.
Oh she has that like haptic AI interface! She could like to hook her brain up to a TV and remember.
I used to have a Jaz drive. Was cool for its time. 1gb of removable storage... But I was pretty much the only one I knew with one so the cartridge pretty much never left the drive.
Was that the superpowered zip disk?
I actually empathise with Emily here. I once dreamed up an entire extra book for Anne McCaffery's 'Dragonriders of Pern' series and spent some time in the library that weekend trying to find it on the catalogue computer.
Well... on the plus side, you seem to be in the position to write some KICKASS fanfics
I don't even care about sports ball and I'd watch "Witch Planet Soccer".
The first time I ever watched Monty Python was on laserdisc. Hell, I think my parents still have the discs and the player.
Ahhhh cyberdiscs are the worst format, they open up and blast everyone, and explode for splash damage
Baby Emily is so cute ❤
EVERYTHING about Emily is cute.
So...Emily lives in multiple realities simultaneously, and just occasionally collapses the wave functions. Explains a few things.
My Dad had Speed Racer on VHS as well.
They're all a fad! 8-Track Master Race!!
So um, do Dale’s glasses vanish at will, or does it only happen when he appears in panel 2.
He has something in his hand that could be his glasses. Or Jeph made a mistake. He usually corrects errors like that by the time they go on the main site
That's it. Someone has to write Pretty Pretty Unicorn Detective. I wonder if PPUD knows Unicountant? <a href="https://www.fishtankbooks.com/copy-of-gallery" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.fishtankbooks.com/copy-of-gallery</a>
Calling it now: PPUD is a reference to the 'Shadow Spade' books in the My Little Pony episode 'Rarity Investigates!'
Emily... I feel ya. I really do. I've dreamed up many a piece of fiction and then been baffled at reality being different to what I remembered.

I was thinking about that comic, glad someone else found it
"Witch Planet Soccer" should be the next patreon strip!
I would like to see this
Jeph, if you need a new side-project, both of those sound like winners!
Holy shit I haven't thought about those things in FOREVER!
Jaz drives, wow, there’s a media format I haven’t heard in ages.
Never had on of those, but I think I still have one of Iomega's Zip drives in my obsolete tech bin. Only 16 years out of date!
