Standard-issue mid-to-late-thirties woman living in Denver and spending too much time on the Internet. I like books, coffee, video games, football, punctuating correctly, waking up way too early, and spending all day in a bathrobe.

The Creative Director over at Moon Studios has launched a new reviews aggregator website that gives outlets a score based on how often they align with the audience consensus... which is a flawed but interesting metric. Presented by @springloaded.bsky.social.

The Witcher 3. Tried it three times, and each playthrough I got a little further than the previous playthrough, but I always bounced off it.

Proud Papa (Part 4/4) - Gator Days
Proud Papa (Part 4/4) - Gator Days

Characters

Daryl - Bear - A big fellow who looks intimidating but is pretty friendly. Has a dry sense of humor. Seth's husband and Hannah's papa.

Transcript

Panel 1

Daryl is in his backyard for a little get together with his friends and family. He's watching his husband, Seth, talk to August. Daryl begins to contemplate where he is in life.

Daryl (thinking): It hurts when the people who are supposed to love you the most reject the most important people in your life.

Panel 2

Daryl turns to see his daughter, Hannah, playing with her friends Liam, Gustopher, and Olivia. Gustopher is holding a ball above his head and Hannah looks like she's trying to get it from him. Olivia also appears to making a motion to grab the ball.

Daryl (thinking): I thought I'd lose everything without my parent's approval. I thought I wouldn't have a family anymore.

Panel 3

Daryl's brother, Terry, has wandered over to show Daryl the new design he made for his band's merch. He has a tank top on with the word "FORK" on top of a giant fork. Terry is very proud of this. Graphic design is his passion.

Daryl (thinking): That's not what happened. I still have my brother. I'm a husband and a father. I'm finally making friends.

Panel 4

Everyone is running around and having fun. Daryl puts his arm around his husband as Hannah tries to get his attention to tell him something. Daryl smiles.

Daryl (thinking): I never lost my family. I found it.

Productivity - Gator Days
Productivity - Gator Days

Characters

Stuart - Quokka - A perpetually smiling Sectional Manager. He tackles every problem with motivational corporate speak intended to maximize collaboration and synergies among all employees.

August - Alligator - A soft spoken single father who works in IT. Gustopher's dad.

Transcript

Panel 1

Once again, August finds himself at work and carrying a box of various cords and wires to the wire room. This way no one will accidentally mistake them for delicious noodles and try to eat them. Behind him is a sign giving directions to the wire room and the regular rooms. Stuart approaches August with some good news.

Stuart: August! The whole office is getting new plants.

August: Oh? Cool... Why?

Panel 2

Stuart: Studies suggest they increase productivity.

August: How do they do that?

August holds the box of wires higher up. On it is writing "Seriously, DON'T EAT!". It is tragic how often this needs to be repeated.

Panel 3

Stuart: By helping with productivity.

Stuart notices something on his phone and diverts 80% of his mental energy towards taking in that new information.

August: I don't understand how-

Panel 4

Stuart interrupts August.

Stuart: Change of plans. We're getting yoga mats.

August: For productivity?

Stuart: You got it!

It is uncertain if the yoga mats will actually come with the opportunity to actually do yoga.

Weird Sisters - Gator Days
Weird Sisters - Gator Days

Characters

Olivia - Opossum - A child who is shy until she gets to know you. In reality she's rather mischievous and likes pranks. Polly's younger sister.

Polly - Opossum - A young teen with an eclectic taste in music. In tune with her emotions and those of others. Olivia's older sister.

Transcript

Panel 1

Olivia has wandered into her sister's room and is watching her clean something.

Olivia: What are you doing?

Polly: Cleaning my ear buds.

Panel 2

Olivia is shocked! Cleaning ear buds? Is that something you're supposed to do? She already has a enough things in life to clean. Her room, her teeth, her ears... When is it going to stop?

Olivia: You clean yours?

Polly: You don't?

Panel 3

The two sisters silently stare at one another. One of those stares where both individuals are wondering how they could possibly be related to one another. On the wall are two posters. One is of the pop star Doe A'deare and the other is for the alt-rock band They Are Possibly Elephants. Polly and Olivia's dad was a big fan of the latter.

Panel 4

Olivia breaks the silence.

Olivia: You're weird.

Polly: You're gross.

Polly makes a mental note to never loan Olivia anything that would go anywhere near her ears.
