Experimenting with higher resolution pages
Added 2025-01-07 17:19:34 +0000 UTCI'm looking to increase the image sizes of the comic pages and am experimenting with the most recent page. Can you guys tell me if it's loading okay? (You may need to refresh the page)

That's great to hear!

2025-01-08 19:31:33 +0000 UTCLooks great, thanks! The standard webpage sizes were starting to get too hard on the eyes due to the lower resolution for a few years back. Makes skipping back and forth between comics for refreshing the memory so much easier on the eyes now.

2025-01-08 01:44:40 +0000 UTCLoads fine for me. Side note, please please please tell me you're going to sell the WizHard tank top. I want one so bad

2025-01-08 01:27:52 +0000 UTCNo issues with load time, and agreed with everyone that say it's worth it!

2025-01-07 21:52:59 +0000 UTCWhat would you consider is lower res? Thanks!

2025-01-07 19:38:19 +0000 UTCWorks fine for me; the images do take (a little) more time to load, but I don't think it is significant and I doubt the download-time is enough to annoy anyone. Spider Mod posted saying it took 10sec to download a page which is about as much as I'd want to wait (if I wasn't as invested in this story as I am -- personally I'll wait as much time as it takes). Thus, I think a valid question would be: if someone new is coming to the site for the first time, will the download times associated with binge-reading everything annoy those folks?

2025-01-07 19:08:34 +0000 UTCThanks for the feedback! I'm going go slowly roll out the image upsizing. Currently Dark Science #158-153 are now his res!

2025-01-07 17:38:17 +0000 UTChires works better imo, especially with how densely packed the pages are
Maxx
2025-01-07 17:33:16 +0000 UTCLoads just a touch slower than other pages, but definitely worth it for the visual upgrade!

2025-01-07 17:29:20 +0000 UTCThat's a good point! It looks readable on my lower res side monitor but I'd like to hear more from people with lower res displays.

2025-01-07 17:29:05 +0000 UTCLoaded instantly and is crystal clear!

2025-01-07 17:26:58 +0000 UTCLooks great on a 5k external display, laptop display, and phone (all retina/hi-dpi), so π― from me. You'll also want feedback on how it looks on lower-DPI displays. Offhand, I think pretty much everything will come through fine, but I'd want to confirm the lighter line-weight text on the meal tray bubbles.

2025-01-07 17:26:11 +0000 UTCLoaded plenty fast for me, and it looks _gorgeous_

Spider Mod
2025-01-07 17:22:00 +0000 UTCLooks good in Chrome
Michael Sperry
2025-01-07 17:21:51 +0000 UTCLoaded fine on my phone. Though when I zoomed in to see the higher resolution I saw a few JPEG compression artifacts ;)
