Oh, this was by no means meant to degrade the idea of picking up something from pop culture. It was meant to capture that weird situation or feeling when seemingly the whole world connects something you like to some particular item from popular culture that you don't know about. That's not supposed to say that those people are wrong in any way, but it does make it kind of hard or annoying to discuss that topic. Should you then dump your hobby to play the recorder instead? I mean, maybe, if you live in a four-panel-world that needs a punchline ;). Playing OOT would of course have been a solution as well, especially since Zelda games are time well spent, but wouldn't have been as funny.

I love it.

Wow, TIL!

Hey, you're one of today's lucky 10,000!

I still wish there was a real instrument that sounds as cool as that app

a real instrument

Like... An ocarina?

But that requires me to watch shorts to judge them... I don't know if that's worth it, to be honest.

Maybe it's the low risk? If it's just a shitty short, you haven't lost four hours. There's got to be a piece of gold in there, somewhere.

When smartphones were still a new thing, I kept preaching to take videos sideways because all useful playback devices were sideways. Man, how that has changed...

But much less vocal.

You know, because we'd all be dead.

But I bet your home looks nice. Like, even this second frame needed to be drawn, so I now have tiles with empty gaps. Guess I'll do it tomorrow or something.

Luckily (for me) it's just raster graphics, so there's an obvious end after just 4 steps when it all disappears in just a handful of blurry pixels.

Thinking about it, this kind of comic maybe should be published as a map tile server so people can zoom in as deep as they want.
