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.

If any of my parents took any interest in any game I played when I was a kid, I would 100% play that game with them, alas...
My dad used to play some Mortal Kombat with me. Until one time, it was in my early teens, 13 or 14 maybe, I had been playing a lot of it recently and was just whooping his ass. Like 8-0 streak kind of ass beating. So he bet me $20 I couldn't do it blindfolded.
Well I did, I lost one round but won two to get the match purely off of sound cues and blind luck, and he paid me $20 and then never played a video game with me ever again.
Doesnt seem like it was worth $20 imo
No. No, it really wasn't. I wasn't socially aware enough at the time to think to throw the match. But to be fair I didn't expect my dad to pull such an ultimate rage quit.
Have you ever talked to him about it since? Maybe you could go "Hey dad, bet you $20 you wont play games with me again" then boot up some coop game, heard some beat'em up games like River City Girls are somewhat similar to fighting games.
At least you got $20. I got yelled after I whooped my dad on fucking Mario Party. Kept calling me egotistic but in hindsight, pretty sure he was protecting.
Projecting?
No, protecting. Taiyang carries the Shadow of the Gamemaster. If he gets too good at games, the world is doomed.
I've had a few opportunities to play Red Alert 2 with my dad. He always obliterated me, I was too much of a turtle player.
There was one time I won against him, but it was pretty obvious to my 14yo ass that he let me. I asked and he just smiled.
I should probably challenge him sometime nowadays
my grandpa would do that with checkers in the Cracker Barrel store lol
