Props to the artist for the spot-on character renditions from each game. Lots of effort for a 4-panel comic
especially since it's totally different artstyles, not like terraria and stardew
also the text boxes are accurate!
The craziest part to me was animal crossing was 2d drawn in.
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...
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
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.
protecting
Projecting?
No, protecting. Taiyang carries the Shadow of the Gamemaster. If he gets too good at games, the world is doomed.
Even if they do stick with one game, it’s hard to keep up. My kid has stuck with Minecraft (when he’s not playing his favorite game: NFS Heat) and he always wants to play Minecraft with me, but every time asks me to join, he’s created a new World and started over, and everything I helped him build in the old world is gone.
Aww. Maybe you could set up a family minecraft server
I subscribed to a realm! We built in it for a while but then he didn’t like it anymore. Wanted to move on. Now I’m paying for a realm he doesn’t use.
Oof
I thought being a gamer meant I was prepared. " No "Get off the Nintendo" or "just pause it" from me I naively thought, "I'll be able to play all their games and even enjoy the game!" I was such an idiot.
Nothing could have prepared me for the rapid clip "game surfing". What's worse, I can remember how to play them all just fine from my own childhood, but it's the constant in and out of memory that gets me lol
I know what it feels like to be RAM LMAO
