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

Rules
  1. πŸ˜‡ Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. πŸ“½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. πŸ“‹ Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      βœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. πŸ“¬ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 πŸ–) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 πŸ–) will be removed.
  7. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      SΓ­, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

I started to cry. I hate OP.

Black mirror vibes.

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 32 points 16 hours ago (5 children)

I kinda did the opposite of this with Undertale.

I had the game spoiled for me, so I just played the pacifist route. Every replay, pacifist. I thought about doing a neutral or a bad route, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Last time I opened the game, it was maybe my fourth or fifth time getting the good ending. I just left it there. Let them keep the world they deserved to have.

Yes, I know it's a stupid and illogical sentiment. Bite me.

I tried doing an evil run on BG3 after the first, good guy, run and when I broke Alfira's lute being the huge asshole evil guy I just couldn't continue. That was too fucked up.

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 hours ago

Dude you've engaged with the main theme of the game. Doing a genocide route is literally about how your devalue your connection to the game and become something akin to a psychopath because of the desire to extract as much content out of it as possible. Nothing to be ashamed of by not doing that.

[–] Zarobi@aussie.zone 6 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

I did normal first, then pacifist. I did 10% of genocide but it physically hurt me to do that and I just couldn't; so I watched a YouTube playthrough instead.

Tap for spoilerFlowey calls you out for being a coward even in the video for not being able to do it yourself πŸ˜‚

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

How are you supposed to get a genocide route?? You mean you have to kill the dogs who are getting married??? What kind of a lunatic would do such a thing...

I didn't have the game spoiled but I didn't and haven't disturbed my Undertale save after the pacifist ending. I fully understand. Lol

Saddest episode of tv I’ve ever witnessed.

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

This episode is brutal (and a true work of art), but for me Game of Tones takes the crown.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 32 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

A story so sad even the futurama writers couldn't take it.

This is essentially the ending of the show community and it makes me laugh every time.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 68 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (11 children)

for those who don't know, this futurama was inspired by real life. it is really sad story:

It's funny, because I remember playing Persona 5 and seeing that statue in Shibuya Square every time I'm running to the train.

And then I visit Tokyo and there it is. Like getting to meet a celebrity IRL. Except it's a statue. And there's a someone next to it with an Imperial Japanese flag screaming fascist shit in Japanese. And at the crosswalk there was a guy with his dick out flashing people.

Japan is a magical place.

i once had a cat follow me into the depths of a mine craft cave. I left him down there years ago and still think about him.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 21 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

😭 😭 😭

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

You're a monster.

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 52 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The Wii Fit game (I forget the actual name) let you enter your pets and track their weight. Then they'd sometimes show up and run beside you while you were running or cycling around the island. It was a great touch.

I can't fire it up to look. Our tabby that passed away in 2020 is probably still on there, as is our gray and white cat, who is not doing well - we're at the "keeping him comfortable" stage. (He's okay for now, he's still a happy cat, but he probably only has a few months left.)

Welcome back, little guy.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 18 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

That was my first experience of death as a child. 5 year old me cried like a little bitch.

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 15 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

My son made me promise I'd watch his dinosaur Tamagotchi while he was at school. He was paranoid of it even getting hungry.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 14 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

You better hope and pray it doesnt die on your watch. Thats some canon-event level stuff.

[–] terranoid@lemmy.cafe 2 points 9 hours ago

I went on a 2 week school trip and my pet scorpion was dead when I got back.

I swear they killed it on purpose

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 16 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

It died when my son left it in his pocket and put it in the laundry to get washed.

That was a rough couple days.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

That's some "Why doesn't my son talk to me anymore" trauma.

[–] naticus@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

I've never played one of these but I've repaired so so many in ReStory lol.

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 12 points 17 hours ago

Oh no, you nintendon't

[–] Ryudos@lemmy.world 45 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Well now I'm sad thinking about every character and pet I've left behind.

I guess the modern equivalent is uninstalling the game.
