    I recently learned about gyro-aiming. Leaning does help, since about 2015.

      I do a lot of gyro aiming on my controller. Do only need certain parts of my body for that, not the whole.

    The L in Luigi’s hat? Stands for ‘lean’.

      He’s on that lean? Might explain some of his behavior of late.

      Urban Dictionary edit, in case:

      When I first got my N64, my brother and I literally couldn’t play Mario Kart without tilting the controller. And my cousin always had to slam the controller down into his lap when doing the grapple attack as Kirby in Super Smash Bros. He claimed that mimicking the motions of Kirby made the attack do more damage.

    I still do this when I’m fully engaged with a game. I just laugh at dipshits who say something like this and say ‘You just wish you could immerse yourself in the game as much as I do’.

      I’m still convinced I can climb higher ledges ingame when i look slightly upwards irl.

      Ducking also makes me harder to hit for sure.

    This made me laugh, and I’m still typing this with a bug grin on my face. Everyone made fun of me for doing this! I don’t regret one moment of it.

    Is all this comic does is take others comic strips that have been done before and make them raccoons and cats?

      I think they also put their name in there so it is harder to crop out.

        I just mean I’ve seen this banter in little 3 and 4 panel comics before. Also a sitcom or two. I think their drawing is original. Just not the joke.

          Do you have some more examples of this comic ripping off existing jokes?

          Yeah this joke is older than I can remember and this artist didn’t add anything to it.

          Well there’s only so many relatable jokes you can come up with before you repeat something someone already said

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

Rules
  1. 😇 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. 📽️ 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. 📋 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.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) 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 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ 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.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  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:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

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)
