Nice try, pickpocket. Nice try…

Eh…

Escalation seems to be needed. This is what America’s 2nd amendment is supposed to be used for.

Bunch of hypocrites.

Sure you could go there still now. But it’s an empty husk of what it was before. Flash died without any viable replacement for all the old flash games that relied on it.

The comedic timing of this strip is actually really good.

Bionicle.

No. No one can.

Popular to bully. I was curious about everything. I wanted to learn things. My favorite book was a science encyclopedia, and I was always eager to help others understand something.

My classmates always came to me with questions during class. I got trashed and bullied during break or after school. I basically had no friends.

Oh no! The potential that someone is mocking me, behind my back, without me witnessing or knowing it, really keeps me awake at night!

I mean, really. If you’ve gone so far as to block someone, do you even care that they’re mocking you?

If so, why? And are you aware that someone can mock you, or spread crap about you behind your back, without explicitly needing the ability to comment on your threads?

When you have blocked someone, and they comment on your post, do they come to your front door and start yelling?

Are they standing across the road with a large, vulgar sign?

Do you get a phone call?

Do you in any way get notified?

Can you even see their comment?

If you answer “no” to the above, then you are left alone. They are no longer your concern. If you’re still concerned, then that’s a problem in your head.

But they are leaving you alone. You can’t see their comment if you blocked them. They could be screaming like a monkey with rabies and you’ll never notice.

If the idea that they can still comment bothers you, then you indeed want to punish them, rather than just ignore them.

You know, I actually don’t think it’ll be a good idea to kill people who are only powerful because they can talk. The more I think about it, the more I think they’ll be turned into martyrs by their followers. It’ll only embolden them.

So, something that really upsets the world in a tangible way would be…

Shooting more CEOs. And bankers.

Andrew Tate, though that may be dangerous as he’ll probably turn into a martyr.

A humanitarian… Hmm…

A humanitarian would eat that which would elevate the standard of human life everywhere.

So, probably start with billionaires, and then work your way down to market-valuation desk clerks.

Just another 30 more years of development, and we’ll finally have a space sim with retro graphics.

By that time we might have… Pffff… I dunno, X5, maybe even 6, that will have surpassed it on every front. Or Elite Dangerous will have all the features Star Citizen promised.

Co-op is pretty cool, but be careful with playing co-op with friends who know the game well; they will absolutely rush ahead of everything.

Yes, often books and movies are brought up when it comes to Halo, but I don’t see the point at all. I have been shown a few “cool” or “epic” clips from the movies by Halo fans but… they looked pretty bad.

When I get interested in getting into the weeds of some lore, it’s because the main-line (be it movies, or games) has made me interested to learn more. Halo never made me interested. Stuff just happened in cool alien environments, and it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve played a shooter with little story in cool alien environments (even from the era Halo is from… probably especially in the era Halo is from).

I highly doubt that would’ve changed anything.

Halo. I’ve been hearing about how cool and just good the games are. How deep and interesting the lore is.

I was visiting old games I heard good things about but never played. I had finished with the Half Life games and enjoyed them.

Then I decided to get the Master Chief Collection.

Started with Reach. Shooting immediately felt bad. The characters started dying off almost immediately after meeting them. Then the game was finished.

That was… Disappointing.

Well alright. Maybe Reach is a black sheep.

Onto Halo CE. Shooting felt even worse. The open areas were pretty cool, but there were a lot of small frustrations with the game. Story wasn’t anything special. Certainly none of that “deep lore”.

Well… Halo 2 then? Felt a lot like Halo 1. More story, yes, but it was as if the game assumed I was already invested in the story. About two thirds in I realised I was still waiting for Halo to finally become cool or good.

I stopped playing.

Decided Halo as a whole is very overrated.

Emperor Penguins are tough competition.
