Sydney, you could use that sort of phrase if you were designing video games or writing comics, so it’s not as unique as she might think.

So Dabbler speaks 137 languages, which seems like an absurd number even for a comic book genius, but there are a few asterisks involved. I’ll get into them later in the comic, but for now I’ll say that she doesn’t often learn languages in the usual manner, what she calls “the long way around” and when she boasts knowing 137 languages, she means that’s how many in her (180+ year) lifetime she has learned, not how many she could bust out at a moment’s notice without a refresher course. Some of those languages she hasn’t spoken in over 100 years and basically doesn’t know them at all anymore, but her poor ego needs a little salve at the moment, so she’s number dropping.

Sydney is playing one of those stupid games that is ostensibly a Match-3 (only this one is a “connect adjacent alikes”) and success rewards you with blowing the clothes off some anime character. In every game like this I’ve ever seen, it’s some anime babe, but Sydney managed to find “Elfboy Stripper.” There has to be a market for that even if I’ve never seen it. I’ve never gone looking for that variety of the genre, but it seems the ratio of girl stripper games to boy stripper game has to be something like 100:1.

In some ways, I kind of feel bad for girls, because there isn’t an embarrassment of riches when it comes to stupid, usually poorly made, smutty games catering to them. On the other hand, I kind of feel bad for guys, because there is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to stupid, usually poorly made, smutty games catering to them. “Well that looks dumb… oh hey boobs. Have six bucks and 2 hours of my life.”
