It's just an assumption honestly. They're stylistically different from the guest comics about games which aren't by the cast (the MGS ones), and well, Kat's drawn accurately so they have to be taking place "now".

edit: The comic has featured guest art by the main girls (and Mort) when they were kiddos too. They probably don't have much time for drawing now though, any of the three!

I think they're referring to how the Mort strip was better.

That said, I thought this one was okay. Maybe because I've played a lot of Cookie Clicker.

The SimCity thing was ridiculous because the dev tried to claim it was necessary for the game’s various simulation systems and then a modder showed that the game didnt utilize it for anything other than phoning home.

That and the horse armor dlc showed that no matter how big backlash is to something initially, if companies want to force lovely practices in their games/consoles they will eventually get their way with time and inertia

What a lovely way for that franchise to go out though, they really just didn’t give a poo poo

Haha I like the reveal that Kat has an utterly brilliant conscious mind... And a really bland average subconscious. No wonder the ether didn't mean anything to her, her dreams are super boring like normal peoples!

Edit: wonder if she's woken up to find she roboticized her pillow.

Serious question here I promise I’m not nitpicking this comic because it’s bad:

Have Zimmy and Gamma at any point prior demonstrated the ability to ki sense poo poo going down like Piccolo on the lookout

Is that weird it feels weird

Zimmy is sensitive to etheric disturbances for sure, though it's unclear how much. It's why the rain from the etheric power plant has an effect on her.

The limits and capacities of Zimmy's power are extremely vague so of course she can.

We don't plainly see stuff from Zimmy's perspective much. It's usually someone else's perspective reacting to her being all crazy, or her being someone else in one of her reality breaks. She has shown up before yelling about stuff annoying her so she absolutely has some kind of spider (lol) sense. Gamma we have even less of a handle on but given how adept she is at ZimmySpace again it's not weird that she'd be able to feel something's up, though probably differently to Zimmy.

e: and it feels weird because the biggest casualty of the weird chapters is that your suspension of disbelief and... can't think of the phrase, faith in the narrative? has been damaged so instead of your first response to new info being "ooh interesting how does this fit into the existing narrative" it's more "is this legit or an asspull".

e: I've got this cool mental image of in universe narrative threads like the etheric image of Andrew's powers, and Zimmy is seeing them shift and snap away from Annie's narrative loci to whiplash onto Jerrek.

I agree with this, although I will admit that my first thought on loading the page was "Oh goody, is Zimmy going to wave her hand and solve everything for Annie again?" I went back and re-read Find Yourself, and it still doesn't feel right.

Just gonna go:

"I think I know something that will help Jerrek understand himself a little better."
<Couple pages of freaky etheric smears>
Jerrek is just Jerrek, no more tension between Loup's own desires and his physical body's.
