I just want to be somewhere where I can read about video games from people who also love video games. Hopefully this does the trick.

Video game themed comic #10: Get well soon @erinplays.bsky.social
Erin: So, I’m getting surgery today, so I may not be able to stream for a bit depending on how healing goes. Vance: Don’t worry. You’ve created so much content that by the time you come back it’ll feel like you never left. Erin: You’re right, I guess. But now I’m hungry! Vance: Not a problem. Are you feeling more like “Remembering Lunchables” Erin or “Burger King Games” Erin?

Video game themed comic #9: It’s been a while
While playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the Nintendo Switch, Vance bumps into Flip the monkey. Flip: Is that you, Vance?! No way! It’s been like… Whoa! 4 years and 5 months! I swore if I ever saw you again, I’d make you do ten thousand squats… but you can do better. Right now, I’m just pumped to see you again, rerack!

Video game themed comic #8: AI sword fighting
Vance and the bloodthirsty pirate are in the middle of a sword fight at Mêlée Island, straight from the exciting world of The Secret of Monkey Island. Just as it reaches the climax of battle, the bloodthirsty pirate exclaims a well-timed insult. Bloodthirsty pirate: You fight like a dairy farmer! Vance: *looks up dairy farmer on the internet* Dairy farming is a class of agriculture for the long-term production of milk, which is processed for the eventual sale of a dairy product. Dairy farming has a history that goes back to the early Neolithic era, around the seventh millennium BC, in many regions of Europe and Africa. For more information, please follow this link to Wikipedia. Vance proceeds to lose the sword fight.

Video game themed comic #6: No explanations needed
*Vance is in Sakuragaoka, a small town in Yokosuka, Japan, as depicted in the Sega Dreamcast game Shenmue.* Sumiya: Can I help you? Vance: Apparently the hot thing to do on Bluesky right now is to share a crush you have, no explanations. Anyway, there’s this really cool arcade in Dobuita I’d like to go to. Would you like to play some darts with me sometime? Sumiya: No, no, no. Not right now. Why not ask Mayumi-san?

It is my belief that there should be a starter pack for every single retro game reviewer on BlueSky. All of these people have different opinions, and the YouTube videos to prove it. Please check them out!

Video game themed comic #5: A matter of principle
Gus: Hey Vance! Why the long face? Vance: I’m sad because a lot of my friends on Twitch feel unwelcome because of the new rule they added there. Gus: Why not make a comic that calls attention to the new rule so we can have a civil discussion about how to make it better? *After giving it some thought, Vance begins to sketch*

Video game theme comic #3: What, me worry?
Vance: So, a few days ago I decided to make my own comic on BlueSky, since I already make livestreams on Twitch and video game reviews on YouTube. But between making all of these video game themed comics, playthroughs and game reviews, I’m concerned that I won’t have enough time left to play the video games I love. What do you think? Innkeeper: One night, 300 gil. Wanna check in?

Video game themed comic #2: The Most Retro Retro
Gus: Hey Vance! I heard you started a new comic about video games on BlueSky! Vance: You bet! I want to share my love of retro video games with the world! Gus: Sounds great! What’s your favorite retro gaming achievement? Vance: I beat Aldynes: The Misson Code for Rage Crisis without losing a single life! Gus: That game doesn’t sound familiar to me. Was it on a Nintendo or Sega console? If not, it’s probably not retro. Vance: What are you talking about? The fact that it’s such an obscure masterpiece makes it the most retro retro!

Welcome everyone to my Bluesky account! My name is Vance, and just like you, I love playing video games. Whenever I join a new platform, I always try to do something different. That’s why I make video game reviews on YouTube, and do livestreams of retro video games on Twitch. So for BlueSky, I want to make something that will remind people of reading comics from their favorite video game magazine, but I haven’t figured out how to do that yet! Once I come up with a way to do this, I’ll make more sweet video game related content on BlueSky. In the meantime, thank you for stopping by!
