#758 - All Herbs Aside
Greetings!! I am writing this a whole week in advance!! For you see, I will be out of town!! I shall be in…. Orlando!! Doin' a little vacay. Ya boi is vacating, is what I'm saying.
I am currently, as I type this out, watching Frieren. It is boring. I kept seeing it everywhere so I assumed it was good. I am not interested and it has not grabbed me. It appears to have 28 episodes. That is…… too many. I'm going to give it the obligatory 3 episodes and decide from there. But I'm really not feeling it. Nothing happens!! You can't have an anime where nothing happens!! I don't even mean action. I mean they just don't DO anything. They walk around, talk to some people, walk around, talk to some people. Woo! The characters are not even interesting.
BUT! You know what's excellent? Dungeon Meshi. Phenomenal. Cool premise. Fun, likeable characters. Great voice acting. I especially love Marcille and Senshi. Go watch it.
Anyway. That's all I got. Am I having fun in Orlando? No idea! Even I don't know!! We'll find out next week! Maybe!

#757 - Plum Gone
I had a five hour long working session meeting today. FIVE HOURS! Nothing takes 5 hours!!! Nothing!!! I don't want to have a five hour working session ever again!! It was boring and I was starting to fall asleep at the end!! And I'm tired of staring at spreadsheets!! I used to run anime conventions for a living and now I'm doing 90-Day No Use Reports for phones!! And coordinating recycling pickups!!! That's dumb!!! My only respite is Final Fantasy and writing for RPG World!!!! If it weren't for those I'd run into the woods and disappear!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[DoomDragon6 is having an episode, please check back next week.]

#756 - What Do You Mean Perhaps!?
Guys, I cannot tell you how much less funny I am here now that I'm medicated. I got nothing! I have zero manic rants for you. Looks at this. -slaps my manic rants- Limp. Nothin'.
But do you know what I DO have??
No, I'm asking, do-- do you know? What else do I have HELP
Okay so I'm playing FF7 Rebirth and I love it. It's not as tight as FF7 Remake, which had me smiling all the way through and I gave it a 13/10 even with its flaws. Rebirth is hit or miss in some areas--- For example, it improved things you can do in combat by a lot, BUT the game holds your hand through every little thing. I've never once worried that I would miss something, because the game makes sure to bang you over the head and say LOOK OVER HERE THERE'S A THING OVER HERE DO YOU SEE IT
It definitely ramps up the absurdity, and FF7 has always been silly, so I'm hear for it for the most part. Definitely laughed more in this game and I'm enjoying all the little character moments.
I haven't gotten far, only just now finished Chapter 4 or 5, but there are a few instances I've felt let down. There was one, highly iconic scene I was looking forward to early in the game, and they made it SO LAME. IT WAS SO SO LAME YOU GUYS. But it's fine. I GUESS. There's another scene that I was super looking forward to, that, unless I'm misremembering when it happens, was just left out entirely. You have no idea how badly I wanted to see that happen. Actually! I want to talk about this, so SKIP EVERYTHING WITH THE /// IN FRONT OF IT if you don't want teeny FF7 Rebirth spoilers. (Or don't care.)
=== FF7 REBIRTH TEENY SPOILERS DISCUSSION === /// The first was the Midgardsormr!! The fight wasn't that epic (it felt so much more epic in the OG), BUT the scene I'm talking about is where we find the thing IMPALED on a tree!! And they go, "Did Sephiroth do this?…" That was such a cool indicator of his power, and created mystery. How did he do it?? Here they just… have him weirdly appear in the water, use a whirlwind attack to send the snake up, then it falls on the tree…. Like… ok…. Lame. /// /// The NEXT scene I was really looking forward to is the fuckin' SLAP FIGHT between Tifa and Scarlet!! Doesn't that happen in Junon??? I'm past Junon! Maybe we come back but HOW COULD YOU REMOVE THAT IT WAS SO ICONIC. /// /// The game has so many other good moments though, so it's fine, it's its own thing. Barret in his little sailor outfit and Red walking on two legs, just like he tried to do in the OG. They're hitting most of the key points. So it's fine. === END FF7 REBIRTH TEENY SPOILERS DISCUSSION ===
Yeah that's it. That's all I got. I'm excited for more pages!! I wrote the dang things and I'm still excited for Wednesdays. We have a pretty good buffer currently and I personally think most of the pages are bangers, so keep an eye out! For.. for those bangers.
Alright. Peace out.

#755 - Hey Man You're Covering Up the Title
Hoo boy and howdy! I've been doing two things the past 5 days: Playing FF7 Rebirth, and fighting a stomach bug! Let's just say both of those activities are trying to DUKE it out, you get me??? Huh?? Huh??? You get me.
Rebirth has so, so much going on in it that I get a little bit overwhelmed, but I'm really excited to tackle more of it. I play really, really slowly because I like to savor everything.
Also, everyone's battle mechanics are different, and it feels so stressful (yet fun) to try to get good at all of them. Back in the day I just had Tifa and Aerith on my team because they were Cute but now I do the exact same thing!
In fact, I'll probably go play that immediately after making this post. I wonder, would I have gotten into RPG World if I didn't start my RPG journey on FF7 back in the day? Would this exist? Would you be reading it? Almost certainly, entirely no.
I lied, I'm probably going to shower, shave, get a haircut, go to a doctor appointment (for the rampant dookies you see), get groceries, then come back here, THEN probably play FF7.
Oh! Atari and I are doing an RPGW:FR Enhanced Edition. Some pages out there have really glaring errors (Howard is missing his wings for the first half of the comic, go look), so we're going and making some changes to pages. Collect your vintage OG pages now while you can! Those error pages are going to be worth something one day.
Also, we've been doing this 8 years, can you believe that? 2 year long hiatuses in there, so like 6, but still. Damn, man.

#754 - Remarkably Efficacious
I just realized this page doesn't have any dialogue.
Oh well. They can't all be bangers.
FF7 Rebirth comes out in 2 days. You will not see me again.
[So this is how the comic ends, huh…]

#753 - Kissed Off?
You and me in the author's note!? What is this, a crossover episode!?
You guys remember when I had really long, insane author's notes? Yeah those were fun. I'm tired now. Ya boi is on medication
I bought a PS5 specifically and only to play FF7 Rebirth when it comes out in a week. When I finish the game I will be selling my PS5 back on eBay. But if I didn't, I would have paid roughly 600 dollars (console + game) to play it.
And it's worth every penny. You guys don't understand. I'm fucking -feral- for these games. I made ex girlfriends promise that if I ever died they would hook up a generator next to my grave and play any FF7 remakes that ever came out. I fucking pinky swore them. I'd like to think they'd still do it but they're actually coming out now and hopefully???? I won't die???????????
Also something else that will keep me going for the next 10 years is Deltarune. I stg with how slowly it's being developed it's gonna be like a 20 years project. But that's fine. I love it so much.
After that, uhhh?.. Idk I guess I can die after that.
Well anyway! Enjoy this Howgabo page. Wait.. Howgabo? Dragobo's not even in it. EXO-HOWARD! … Hexo? I like Hexo. Enjoy this Hexo page.

#749 - Who Buys Flowers for the Florist
GREETINGS! I am sleep deprived. Like ACTUAL sleep deprived! Not just sleepy. I got tied up working on running a local machine install of an AI Language Model and it just kept going and going and then it was 10am.
So I just… Took a shower and ate breakfast.
[Cue Goofy: and I'd fukkin do it again]
But no, I seriously didn't feel any effects at all. I wasn't tired in the least. I just went about my life. UNTIL! About an hour ago, when I sat down to get this page ready. It was the first I hadn't been nonstop moving in a while and I just feel kinda drunk. And I can sorta see shrimp colors?? But it'll be aight. I'll sleep tonight. Prob'ly.
I haven't done a legit all nighter since college. I dunno how I did it man. Maybe being in a trance working on my installation counted as rest. Who knows.
Comic! I almost put a funny title for the page. But I do that all the time. Have a had one. (It's okay, there's some funny text in the ALT text. As a treat.)
Alright. I'm going to go [gestures vaguely]. AWAY!

Happy New Year! (2024)
Pop the champagne! It's a NEW YEAR!
I love this page. Atari did a phenomenal job on it. Fun Fact: He initially forgot Reka, so. We put her out there taking photos. Seemed very in character. ;)
Where's Syd and Plum? They got their own page, ya mooks!
Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!! Hope it's starting out great. As for me PERSONALLY, I woke up to my phone display failing and my very expensive recently upgraded PC not powering on. GREAT START. Love spending just, so so much money right after spending just so, so much money.
But we're not carrying that with us! We're leaving that shit behind. This year's going to [FILE CORRUPTED]! And you can bet a nickel on that!
As usual, I'm just rambling. If you're still coherent and sober when you read this, kick your game up a notch and go party. If you're reading this days after New Years.. well you heard me!! Go party!!

Happy Holidays! (2023)
It's a Christmas Miracle! An update!
Happy Holidays everyone!! Whichever one(s) you celebrate, enjoy them. Hope you're happy, healthy, and with your loved ones. If not, shoot me a message. I'll love you. (in the wholesome way, not the sexy way)
(.. unless?)
Lookit Plum 'n Syd up there. They're adorable. Atari put a lot of effort into this page. Really like it.
And! I've got more presents for you! We're COMIN' BACK at the start of next year! That's right, all new pages, all new words, all new chaotic author rambles! How long will that go? Who cares! As long as we can. Just like everytime. We're just along for the ride. This comic would be DEAD without me!! You don't get to make demands!! Mua ha ha ha haaaa!
Ehem. While you're waiting, join us on Discord! We talk about Stuff, Things, and sometimes More Stuff! You could join that conversation!! You could be a trailblazer for talking about Stuff!!
Well anyway. Happy Holidays. Tell me something cool you did or saw or got for the holidays. Tell me what you're looking forward to in the coming year! What you're excited to see in the comic! Just, ye.
Drink and be merry, frends.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! (2023)
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!! It's October 31st, and you know what that means!!!.. Well, it's-- it's Halloween. I already blew my load on that one too early.
I decided to dress up the gang in stuff I'm looking forward to or already enjoying this fall season.
We've got… HERO! As INVINCIBLE! Invincible Season 2 is dropping, uhhh. This Friday! In fact. The show prompted me to read the comics, and!… Uh, the show is much better, in my opinion. Much better written and much better paced. But hey! Invincible came out in like, the early 2000's. They did pretty good for themselves back yonder.
CHERRY! As RAMONA FLOWERS! The Scott Pilgrim anime is taking off (pun intended) on Nov. 17th and I am HYYYYPPPEEEE
HOWARD! As MALLOW! From the Super Mario RPG remake, which is ALSO dropping Nov. 17th! This is gonna be a packed month. SMRPG was one of my favorite games back in the day and I still bust it out every couple of years. I've hit a point where I've practically mastered it and know all the secrets though, so it'll be nice to have a refreshing new take on it. I even fostered a "Lowest Coins" challenge on the game.
DIANE! As SHADOWHEART! From Baldur's Gate 3. I haven't touched that game in like 2 months now. I'm sure I'll pick it up again. PLEASE notice how much more detailed and different scale she is. I take this to mean Atari really enjoyed drawing her.
EIKRE & RABBLE! As RICK & MORTY! The newest season kicked off a few weeks ago and I'm enjoying it. I've never been a R&M elitist so the episodes and new voices are fine, but none of them have blown me away so far like some other episodes have.
Mysteriously missing from this list!? Star Ocean: The Second Story remake. It's a JRPG with a tan elf main character, and I didn't make Cherry dress as her? Low hanging fruit, man. Star Ocean 2 is one of my absolute favorite JRPGs from way back in the day and I'm excited to give it a shot with the remake. It's one of those ones I never finished because there was just SO much to do. I also really loved how every little thing had an interaction, or little moments between the characters that genuinely made you feel like they'd formed a friendship. Good stuff. That drops… Thursday!? Oof, I'm never going to have time for all of these. I'm ALREADY playing a 100+ hour game on top of ANOTHER 100+ hour game and I've already got a few other games lined up. Ugh.
Oh, also? I pre-ordered Star Ocean months ago and its delivery date is listed as 2 weeks from now. I'm sorry, what was the point of pre-ordering??? Anyway, it's fine. Like I said, I have so much to play already that those 2 weeks won't even make a difference.
SO! Go enjoy your Halloweens, but no matter what you do tonight, remember the absolute most important thing about today---- it's my birthday tomorrow. 😎
Boom! Happy treating! (Or tricking.)

#746 - The Best Defense Spell is a Good Offense Spell
Hello! Greetings. What's up? I have nothing to say. I really need to write these on Sundays when I have more energy. Instead of Tuesday afternoons, when my soul is drained from office work. At least on Sundays I can pretend I'm not trapped in a time prison!
We're all trapped in time prisons. What's your time prison? Are you strong enough to escape?
Ganbatte, traveller-san.

#745 - A Smasher Darkly
Howdy! I feel super Normal today. And I felt super Normal yesterday! I cannot tell you how groundbreaking that is. I usually feel in some form of chaos one way or the other. Like if emotions or your mind were a ball, mine always has spikes jutting from it. But these past few days it's just been a sphere! A normal ball! I wish I had some reason. Like drugs or adderall or something. But nope. Just woke up like that. Would love it to stick. I don't even mean I've felt "good" necessarily! I've still gotten frustrated at things, or annoyed or angry at things. But I got frustrated in a normal way. Like, how a normal person would experience those things. It just briefly wiffs them and then they keep on with their day like normal. It didn't dominate my entire day. I didn't feel like this is how it's always been forever. Even when I felt good, I recognized the moment was nice, but I returned to my Normal Orb.
These are normal things to say, right? This is the most normal and stable I've ever felt in my life. I wish I could capture this in a memory sphere and show a doctor so they could give me whatever medicine makes me feel Normal forever.
I've been analyzing the variables. I don't really know what they are. I was outside for an excessive amount of time each day prior to the Normal day? I sure hope that's not it. I don't have time to be Outside for an excessive amount of time each day. But dang, if I get back to Chaotic in the next few days I'll know.
Who knows, maybe Mercury's in the gatorade again. Either way, good shit.
This is another page that didn't quite match the tone and expressions I wanted. You might be able to notice my… edits. It's a strange line to walk between wanting something more tonally consistent with your vision, and also praising the Art God that is your artist, without whom you could never express your vision in the first place. (Love you, Atari! <3)
Maybe it's the weather. It is nice weather, but nice weather doesn't TYPICALLY make me feel Normal.. Who knows. I stayed at work for an extra 4 hours to get more things done, then I visited a $16.5 million mansion. Gonna see if they'll let me put it on a credit card. You're all invited.
(There's a pool.)
