Questionable Content

While the title of this post may be a bit misleading, Questionable Content does not mean that I will be posting scandalous pictures (Although Plantie is totally naked and flaunting those roots). QC is actually a web-comic that I've been reading for a number of years now, run by Jeph Jacques. It follows the lives of several characters, all in their twenties. It's a little difficult to explain why this comic is so amazing. The art style has evolved significantly over the years, and it's a nice nostalgia trip to go back to the first pages after reading it for so long. The characters are relatable in many ways. It's funny, well written, sad, and causes so many other emotions. The comic covers a massive amount of topics, including bi, gay, and straight relationships, alcohol (both for better and worse), life as a musician, owning a business, germ phobias, AI as normal parts of society, and cybernetic limbs. Just to name a few. The comic is so well done. I honestly couldn't recommend this comic enough. To top it all off, because the artist updates multiple times each week and has been doing so for years, it feeds into the amazing culture of binge consuming media. Trust me, I am no stranger to watching entire seasons of a new show on Netflix in a single sitting.

If you want to read an amazing comic, relate to someone no matter who you are, and watch an artist improve their craft over time, please, PLEASE read Questionable Content.

Sorry for the short post today, but I want the comic to speak for itself. That, and it's hard to write while watching the LCS...

Toodles!

Wintereenmas

Alright, Dark Souls out of the way.

This past week has been a holiday called Wintereenmas, created by Tim Buckley in his web-comic Ctr-Alt-Del. If you are reading my blog for any reason, you should also be reading this web-comic. It is hilarious. The short version is that Wintereenmas is a holiday dedicated to gamers, and is a week dedicated to playing video games. Normally, people participating in the holiday choose a difficult goal and aim to achieve it by the end of the week (the web-comic characters attempt to beat Hard mode in Demon's Souls one year). This year, because of a shifted exam schedule, I was unable to fully participate in the holiday. A fair amount of D&D did get played during this week, as well as planning for my own campaign. I will be uploading videos of all future gaming sessions of my campaign, so anyone actually reading my blog should find those entertaining, at the least.
