LOL, I had no idea that the Rice-a-Roni slogan was euphemistic for being a gay man. I’m gonna start calling me a Rice-a-Roni.
Project Button Masher
I teach myself music composition by imitating the style of various videogame soundtracks. How did it turn out? Listen for yourself.
Civilization VI
I'm a very casual fan of the series, but I gave Civilization VI a look to see what was up with this nuclear war simulator.
The Loot Lottery
What makes the gameplay of Borderlands so addictive for some, and what does that have to do with slot machines?
Spider-Man
A game I love. It has a solid main story and a couple of really obnoxious, cringy, incoherent side-plots in it. What happened here?
The Death of Half-Life
Valve still hasn't admitted it, but the Half-Life franchise is dead. So what made these games so popular anyway?
San Francisco has been affiliated with homosexuality and gay rights for decades. The Village People sang a song celebrating it. Remember the Titans references it with the team’s gay player. And yes, gays were called “The other San Francisco treat”.
When I saw this comic on the Patreon after reading about the discussion about how to handle the casual slurs and homophobia in the comic, I did a hell of a double-take and couldn’t stop laughing at the absurdity. It feels so over the top.
This comic is a great link for clueless people on social media asking why these are explicitly LGBT-friendly TTRPG games advertised, though.
I’ve lived in Chicago, Pittsburgh, San Fran and yes… even the hometown of the original author Shamus.
Ratio of straight/homosexual population is about the same. SF was just the first place that DNGAF one way or another.
Comic’s not showing for me.
Me too!
Whole post off the front page, boss.
Dangit, fixed.
If I may, the comma is missing in “Well, you know…”
Lol now I can go back to the 90’s and talk about people being so ‘rice-a-roni’ without being offensive.
