Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Steam sales seem great until you realize before steam we owned Physical copies that also went on sale sometimes and didn't do the roller coaster of 5 year old game still $50 but on sale is $10, the price it should actually be given how old it is.
I don't ever recall new copies of physical games being widely available for a tiny fraction of their RRP. Sure you could get more second hand games, but they're nowhere near as readily available.
Rereleased cheaper games were a thing but adjusted for inflation they'd still be very expensive compared to now. I remember buying them for ~£10 which is about £18.50 now. These days they're generally much cheaper and don't need manual patching or media. I never got my copy of GTA 2 back!
Fucking physical is a lost love.
