Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

From the people who brought you Goat Yoga...

Seriously, how did Goat Yoga come about? It had to have been a bet, right? Someone had a line on a shitload of goats and bet his buddy who had a bunch of venture capital laying around that he could get "afternoon wine drunk yoga moms" to do yoga while goats stand on them.

Pixel weighs about 90 lbs in her human form, and Anvil was running out of space for 45 lb plates on the bar. I guess she has a 90 lb dumbbell tied to the other side. I know, you're like, why doesn't she just tie a dumbell to each side. You know how it is in a gym, one dumbbell in a matched pair has wandered off, or the 75 lb EZ Curl bar is missing and you can only find the 85 lb one and you can only get 3 reps with that one before your form goes to shit. No, leaning back 45 degrees is not good curl form.

So anyway, Sydney can make 2 lighthooks simultaneously and also somehow pre-emptively upgraded the atmorb. Atmosphorb? Life Supporb. The green one.

Here's the updated skill tree. I know at some point in the past there was an errant extraneous point in the PPO skilltree, but I can't find a comic it showed up in. I might have gone back and quietly retconned the art but I don't recall. Let's just pretend it didn't happen. The blue pips are the ones that were filled in when she found the orbs, the teal ones are the newly spent points. By the way, I realize that the second point on the Lighthook branch which allows her to use two hooks at the same time implies that the first point on that branch is required to use a single hook, meaning if that point isn't spent, the orb is fairly useless. What can I say? Aliens, man.

The team need a gravity training room like on DBZ.

Aclys

Actually, what it could imply is that the light hook has a feature aside from the obvious tentacles that may have gone unnoticed so far!

So Syd will annoy everybody with "My name is Syndey Montoya, you killed my cousin twice removed from my maternal side, Prepare to die!"

Any good theories on what the point on the line connecting the PPO to the flight orb might do? At first I thought it was the shield orb, not flight, and thought it would be what lets Sydney open a gap in the shield to fire through, but.... (at least, I'm fairly sure that's the flight orb not the shield?)

Alenil

Does Pixel's nails always leave trail or is it something she did to them this time?

Dan

The first point switches it from lightweight training mode to full capacity actual tentacle mode. Or something.

I'm wondering, We know that the upgrade tree actually projects into 3 dimensions, we are not sure if Sydney knows that yet. I am wondering if she brushed a point in that tree while moving her hand, and it went "only point on the path to the one you brushed is... This one. Spent! Thankyou very much.

Quite the contrast in drawing style, between Pixel's anime face (impossibly large eyes, impossibly small mouth), and everybody else. I dunno if it's just an aesthetic choice or if something is meant to be read into it?

Incidentally, yesterday my Switch was making decisions for me. "Hey, I didn't press that button yet!"

Adam C.

Which Orb is which? Starting from 12oclock, it's PPO, Shield, Flight,???, Life Support, Sensors?, Light Hook...right?

Dave, there IS supposed to be another point in the PPO. All the points you're currently showing on it were unlocked the very first time the skill tree showed up. See here: https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-181-power-up/ Also, this topic came up before during one of her previous upgrades, and you talked about it in the commentary here: https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-945-upgradde-with-a-double-dose-of-indecision/comment-page-1/#comments

What we need is a point-by-point breakdown of what each upgrade has done.

Aaron Mauthe

I thought it was the florb that was out of spec, not the atmosorb? Did I miss something?

Michael Altarriba

So, no mention of her "power loss", or concern that it happened?

zerotraveler

I am absolutely DYING to find out what the linkage points do. Also, we still have an orb that we don't have a purpose for yet.

Pixel goes up. Pixel goes down.

akrasia

Somehow it seems inappropriate to touché yourself in public.
