yknow what would be cool? a modern "gamers on the couch" webcomic that recognizes and celebrates all the different ways you can engage with video games. a queer indie game nerd, a speedrunner, and an oldskool pvp hardcore sounds like a perfect three-pointed ensemble cast

Follow

with guest appearances from a rhythm game diehard, someone's mom who only plays hidden object games but it's not a point of mockery in the comic, and a retro game preservationist who is regularly shocked by how bad some of the shovelware they're preserving actually is

@typhlosion people go to the mum for help with puzzle games like professor layton

@foxes yes!!!! and it turns out she kicks ass at phoenix wright too

@typhlosion i also want an ex game dev who loves modding games because they like understanding how a game works

also in less specifics; technical players and creative players

@typhlosion I would friggin' love that. Makes me wonder if I could pull off the queer indie game lover role there.

@typhlosion Somebody who still calls FPSes "Doom clones" but only because they really like Doom and don't know yet how they feel about Doom 2016.
