Kinda sad to see that their last comic was posted in 2019

A blog I followed stopped posting two years ago, and their site is still up but they don't post anything to any form of social media that I can search.

One by one, we'll all stop posting eventually. :(

It's fine, others will replace us and post in our stead.

And once AI gets just a little better those replacements can step in to our shoes seamlessly. All those cancelled and permanent-hiatus webcomics can start updating again.

It makes you feel so melancholy, doesn't it? Like a decade ago, I really enjoyed this small YT channel where she did blind playtbroughs of Dark Souls games. She wasn't much of a gamer in the beginning and started it because her boyfriend thought it would be entertaining having a complete noob try dark souls. He was right. Anyway, she worked her way through all 3 games over the course of about 2 years, but stopped part way into part 3 and never posted again. It's been like 7 years. I think about it every now and then and check on the channel. I always wonder if she okay.

They seem to still be alive, as at 5 months ago

(Apologies for the Reddit link. It's the most recent proof of life I could find)
