Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

My life:
Play video games despite my father's immense disapproval.
Learn to program so I can make my own video games.
Get a job where I'm paid to program.
Never actually finish any of my own games.
I do still play video games and he does still disapprove but I'm older now than he was when I started playing and he started disapproving so that's probably not going to change.
Are you me?
I actually learned so I could make a website about music, and then later wanted to make games. I'm still at step 4. :)
Are you two me, then? Only difference is that my dad actually enabled my gaming addiction and was an enjoyer back then, I vividly recall him playing Red Alert, Age of Empires and Civilization 2.
I'm on step 4 mostly thanks to godot, tho. Might give Ebitengine (Go) a try in some months. That or DragonRuby, as I qualified for a free license and Amir very quickly replied to my email.
