My New Comic Series
🕑 Added 2021-03-02 18:32:22 +0000 UTCThis comic really runs the gamut of BT tropes-- introspection, massive walls of text, overthought commentary on the stupidest of dumb internet minutiae, and sex jokes.
This comic originated because I though of the "Biden is a reboot of the Obama administration" joke, and thought it was sorta funny but not really, which got me thinking of other gaming jokes, which made me think of the CD Projekt Red joke, which I did think was very funny, and then I started thinking about the role of "gamer comics" in the current zeitgeist, and well, this unfolded. I wanted to make sure that even in the fake comic parodies that the jokes themselves were still good-- this is a golden opportunity to make "gamer" jokes and still get to write them off as not really actually my "thing".
A few jokes that got left out:
-I'd compare this administration to one of the Fallout games, but even Bethesda games operate more smoothly than the Biden administration-- and with more believable human characters, too!
-The biden admin is just like Call of Duty! Because it glorifies imperialism and the massacre of brown people? No, because its very old and it sucks ass!
-I've seen more social justice tact in Custer's Revenge
-Something about Hunter Biden and Infamous: Second Son
The best ones made it in, I think.
JFK Reloaded is a funny deep cut-- there are certainly games that depict massacre on a larger level, but even if you dislike JFK, I think it's hard to find a game that cares less about the sanctity of human dignity than one where the only thing you can do in game is reenact a famous real life assassination. It would be like playing a fighting game where you just try and perform the sickest combo possible on an AI Gandhi who can't fight back, which, on reflection, does sound exactly like the sort of game that would exist on Newgrounds circa 2005.
It's hacky to make fun of furries, so I won't, but-- christ, you guys, I had to look at so much fucking gay porn to try and get those character designs right. I think at some point it starts to affect the human body in a similar way to astronauts who spend too long in outer space. Rapid aging, loss of bone density, heart shrinking to the size of a baby's fist-- that sort of thing.

You probably hit the nail on the head: normie RELATABLE comics are the gamer comics of this generation, because gamer comics were the RELATABLE comics of the past.

So you’re trying to tell us your self insert isn’t Karkat yet you reference sweet bro & hella Jeff? 🧐 Curious... Memes aside I like this break in form... I think there’s more to explore here- I don’t know if you’ve seen avocado_ibuprofen’s work but the way you deconstruct the comic form/ talk about the issue of cringe* culture definitely had me thinking of them
