I was going to do an alt ending to this comic where I'm still regular age, since it literally just came out. an advanced punchline where it's only funny if you've memorized my body of work

Panel 1: A blonde man in a blue hoodie is presenting a Wii copy of Super Mario Galaxy, and says "Does anybody else remember THIS old gem?" In the foreground and background, people are going crazy with social media validation.
Panel 2: A parade has formed in celebration of our relatable social media poster, being lifted up in the air by his peers. In an over-the-shoulder shot of my self-insert, I gesture frustratedly toward the parade and say "What? That game JUST came out".

Panel 4: I take on a shocked expression, resting my hands on the sides of my head. I mutter, “oh god”.

I got 100% last night (as is my crippling impulse) after sanding off some edges with mods (no runbacks, bench fast travel) and after comparing my playtime to the howlongtobeat completionist average, my life feels so much longer for it
