Bleed damage doesn’t work on the boss she’s fighting though

This is testing the waters for transitioning the comic into a gender-swapped Penny Arcade and at this point, I am here for it.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
i am so fuckin sick of hearing people talk about Elden Ring

nevertheless, this page was better than anything in the main comic since Annie merged

I like Elden Ring. I'm glad Annie understand the true souls gamer power of abusing every intentionally and unintentionally messed up thing in the games to win.

blood dex builds (ie character builds that use quick weapons, light armor, and Bleed status infliction) are the most overpowered in the game. Annie has proven herself to be invested enough in the game to know this, and ruthless enough to exploit it

William - gets really mad that the game is too hard when he only levels Strength and uses nothing but a greatclub

Parley - uses bloodhound fang and Weapon Arts with a lot of anime flipping. Generally just invades people on a save file Smitty breezed to level 150 on for her

Jimmy Jims - stumbles through the tutorial and loses to the Tree Sentinel a few times before grumbling about wasted time and going back to weightlifting

Jones - probably can't safely operate a controller

Paz - tries to interact with a deer, swings her club and kills it, quits the game immediately

Not that Smitty meant to, he just accidentally executed several of those frame perfect speedrun teleport exploits that cause bosses to fall through the world and die instantly while trying to finish the tutorial area.

To build on Oxxidation's explanation, it's also just kind of a broad "Kat gets wrecked by a Souls-type game. Annie meanwhile gets so intensely hooked on it that she plows through a 70-120+ hour game and knows optimal OP build strats." gag that's amusing because Annie has never shown an interest in directly playing a video game before.

Snare. Snare meaning she WAS tricking Loup and now they're gonna catch him with the arrow, which is coincidentally what they used to transfer the robots to their new bodies, so it all ties together and makes sense right?? right???

Arbiter Whatshisface seemed really intent on putting Kat in jail for eternity if she hosed with the arrow again, so if anyone is doing it, it's probably the Court. It's possible Kat reverse engineered it in some way, though, like she did with the green thingy that she used during the Jeanne chapter, and which was literally never explained beyond "We'll talk about it later" (author's note they did not talk about it later unless that was contained within the 6mo time skip we didn't get the chance to see)

They're going to have an 18 page conversation rehashing everything Annie and Jerrek just discussed. During this time it will be revealed that Surma came back to life and was reunited with her family offscreen.

A subplot involves Shell getting mad that a squirrel peeked up her skirt. Reynard scolds her for dressing like that in the forest. This sets up a love triangle between Shell, Reynard and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Jones.

If worm girl was right, then Friday’s page will be my last page until the end of the year. (I gave this comic an extra week due to the Elden Ring comic.) But I feel at best we’re going to get a whole lot of tell-don’t-show.
