Shugojin posted:relatable content I think the game design term is "abnegation". Just enough of a focus to occupy the mind and disconnect from other worries, while not requiring engagement effort on its own in the way that puzzle or difficult bosses do. This is where the repetitive grind of stuff like Minecraft lives.

This is where the repetitive grind of stuff like Minecraft lives. I think there's also an element where video games offer A) a sense of control, B) reliable positive feedback for a job well done (which is not even necessarily the case with real jobs that give you money.)

2018 Spiderman 1979 comics      Locher Tracy  End of the Sunday Comics  Fun fact: I've spent this entire time gradually catching up to the actual posting schedule of this feature(which was only 4 days a week), but accidentally caught up to it right when it ended. It has apparently been rerun once already, and it may or may not do it again, but frankly I'm glad to have one fewer comic to post. (even if I enjoyed everything Origins threw at us). Goodnight, sweet prince. Footrot Flats  The Lockhorns  Mandrake  Johnny Hazard  Computoon: Origins

riderchop posted:For Better or For Worse When this guy showed up I thought he was doing a fake French accent because he thought it was funny, like treating customers like fake royalty or something, I dunno. But for whatever reason this strip made me remember that Foob is set in Canada, and the dude probably is supposed to have an actual French accent. Zereth posted:Failing to explain why your victim should here, True. I mean, he did explain. The reason is "Because I will beat the poo poo out of you if you don't." Which makes me think that it's really lucky that every dude Everett faces just happens to be unable to outfight a morbidly obese old man, imagine if Everett actually faced a dude who worked out or even did some boxing for a hobby. riderchop posted:i'll mess around with the order, i dont know if i'll sequester holbrook in his own post bc i WILL forget to make the second post of the day, but i might put him at the very end I think putting Holbrook at the end of the bunch is the best compromise. You don't have to worry about making a separate second post, and people can read through everything they want and as soon as they see Holbrook know they can check out without fear of missing anything.

Jucika "192 - Jucika Makes Better Use Of The Working Hours" "193 - Jucika's Present"  quote:Mark Trail Hey hey hey Jules, more of this, please! Amazing how much better the flow works when the dialogue carries all the weight and that narration box is ditched. Even the art is decent and the word bubbles aren't gratuitously enlarged so that there's less to drew!

I wonder how much willpower it took for her to not phrase it as "It's dangerous to go alone" in the third panel though. Maxwell Lord posted:She's not a dude but his wife seems to keep fit Yeah seeing his wife get one over on him is always great. I know it's because of sexist poo poo about Everett being henpecked and whatnot but she's still the only one to consistently give him a taste of what he deserves, so even if the attitude was "This'll make my readers really dislike her" I think it makes her the best character in the comic.

I don't think Condo wants anyone to dislike Mrs True. It's just funny to see a character get a taste of his own medicine once in a while and it lets him mine domestic life for material.

Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise: The Mind of Mrs. Drake I like these early Modesties Blaise a lot better than the late ones. The quality didn't drop that badly, but I feel like a 90s one would have spent six pages chatting about throat mics and the blind guy's "vibes" where this one just gets on with the story.

riderchop posted:hey weird question here but do you have any feedback for me on the order these comics are listed in? i started putting foob second-to-last so A+J could counteract it more effectively, but i'm open to most things being in a different order. I don't have any input but I once asked someone to post in a different order and they were really cool about it. I don't even remember who or what but I appreciated it. edit: I don't see why this robot chef with the mysterious background could ever be anything than what it seems Sweaty IT Nerd fucked around with this message at 01:57 on May 4, 2022 |

Our Boarding House (December 5-7, 1921)   Toonerville Folks (February 27-March 1, 1919)    Dok's Dippy Onboard Brawl (February 8, 1914)  Little Lefty (July 9-12, 1936)      And Some Guy TT was right. Banker and the Butler is an interesting contrast even when the strip's not at war with Lefty's gang. Blondie (From Zero) (January 7-9, 1932)
