This hit way too close to home. I’m absolutely the “I haven’t slept in two days” type, proud member of Team Too-Much-Gameplay, and my pet judge me the morning after like I betrayed them. Sleep is for NPCs, honestly.
Cute comic, but can we stop leaning into the gendered stereotype that women are the “done” players and men are the obsessive ones. Gaming comes in all flavors, and I know plenty of people of every gender who will disappear for 48 hours to finish a raid. Still, 10/10 relatable.
Is it a gender thing? I just read the comic as either:
-
Being inclusive of multiple genders, or
-
A comparison of the artist’s experience, and of someone they know.
Yeah, I’m fairly sure the artist is just showing herself and her significant other. Showing the two types of gamers via their own relationship.
-
Note the ‘I haven’t slept’ guy did not say the game was fun.
