Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

As a trans and possibly autistic New Vegas fan, I resemble that remark.

I think trying to police strict categories though is a problem - reality doesn’t fit genre. People don’t fit genre. My Bejeweled loving grandmother got hella into the newer Civilization games, my FIFA addicted ex would dabble into furry romance games.

Even within the same game, there’s vast differences in how people can approach gameplay - I play the Sims for fucked up historical roleplay. Other people use it as a wish fulfillment vehicle where their self insert characters live their dream lives - others cheat to give themselves lots of money and just build gorgeous houses.

Video games are a combination of art and toys. There’s no “right way” to appreciate art, and no one likes when someone else tells you how to play with your toys. Thomas Kinkade paintings makes me want to vomit, while Cy Twombly paintings intoxicate me - others will not have the same reaction, and that’s part of the beauty that makes us human.

(How on earth can human beings listen to Sargon for more than 15 minutes? Even the clips I’ve heard excerpted in Hbomberguy etc make me want to claw my ears out lol)

Dont worry im a Autist who is quite into Fallout (Just look at my name) not trans though.

Anyways my lamentations that I cant sub catalog every speck of reality must be suppressed, which is why ill settle for breaking things down by system, gender, and age groups. Bout as granular of data as I can get for seeing trends, which is more than enough to beat chuds with.

Also im aware of how different folks interact with and view art. I dont really have an appreciation for traditional art outside of respect for its craftsmanship, but I adore Neolithic-Bronze age art, architecture, weapons, and armor. Plenty of folks look at it as if it was simply old stones and metal.

I have no clue how I listened to sargon, I blame middleschool and highschool sleep deprivation. Dude makes me want to commit a hate crime against the Saxons starting with him.
