Oh my god, that's such a weirdly deep cut. The pixel guy is the protagonist from Final Fantasy 2. That game was a bit of an oddball in the series, as there was no actual leveling system. Instead you could gain stats depending on what you did in battle. If you took a lot of damage during one fight, you'd gain more hp. Hit with weapons a lot, your strength would go up. Magic for magic ability, etc. Comically, this meant that the best strategy for growth was to get into a random battle outside the first town and have your characters beat the poo poo out of each other, heal up, then repeat. With a bit of effort you could get enough health to sail through the rest of the game and your other stats would naturally build in the right direction in the process

I mainly recognised him from 8-Bit Theatre by Brian Clevinger.



I didn't know about that farming strat though, that's interesting.

Oh yeah! Good catch. I forgot about that because the more efficient strategy is using Accumulate over and over so your team is basically a bunch of Gokus charging up for dozens of turns, but Rock Throw is great until you unlock Accumulate. Games sure are silly sometimes

A lot of panty shots on these couples pages, which is weird because the comic tends to avoid them for the most part that I remember
