The GamerCat is pretty meh, but it updates once a week and ticks the 'dumb game jokes' box.

I'd give it a bit stronger recommendation than that. I mean, it's got cats and video games in it; you pretty much know going in what you're getting. It's jokes about cats playing videogames. It's basically what VGCats would be like if it were updated by someone with a work ethic and had like 100% fewer rape jokes.

Did CAD ever get that promised reboot that would once again bring the comedy focus back to the friendship of those two universally beloved everymen, Ethan and The Other One?

I visited the website and it looks the comic is currenty about his colour-coded player 1-4 characters playing D&D.

The Adventure Zone it ain't.

Why would you want that? It would just be what it is now, but worse in a non-mockable way.

Morbid curiosity? I can only imagine how he'd write for a "mature" "grounded" self-insert character, and then like PMush Perfect said, you know it would devolve into the same lovely mix of wish fulfillment, achingly sincere melodrama and some classic rando monkeycheese sociopathic violence.

Also I was honestly curious, because he said those characters would eventually return almost 5 years ago and cited being able to really focus on the reboot as an incentive when launching his Patreon in 2014.

I don't think Awkward Zombie or Manly Guys ever did that, though that's probably because both are made by women.

Hi. I make Astral Aves, and you guys have given me some pretty helpful crit. Recently, life has gotten in the way of a regular update schedule...but I am glad some people are still reading. I realize I've been focusing on improving my art over my writing, but I hope things will pay off soon. Thanks for reading, and I will definitely try my best to give you the best story I can. If anyone has any questions or comments, I'll do my best to answer them.

How old is that comic? I haven't seen Assassin's Creed being presented as something elitist for a fair while. If anything you'd think that kind of rear end in a top hat would sneer at her for playing something so entry-level.

For five panels the joke is that he shocks himself because he doesn't slot the other half of the controller in, but then in the last panel it's clearly in place, so the entire premise of the joke is completely gone. How do you gently caress up your punchline like that? What even is the punchline, since he clearly worked things out?
