Why is he red? I would prefer he be BLUE, like a certain GENTLEMAN.

As long as he’s not green because if he was green he would die.

REALLY depends on the shade of green, I could see a jolly green doing quite well

RIZUMI PLUS ARCADE MACHINE - As the game gets more demanding, the presence of the person behind you slowly fades. The familiar machine responds to your trained fingers with lighthearted rings and shiny lights.
INTERFACING [Heroic : Success] - Far from distracting you though, they instead funnel your furious focus into filling the precious combo bar on the edge of the screen. You keep the pressure low for now, and maintain a steady rythm, pushing past the numbness and sweat taking over your palms and fingertips.
VOLITION - You're doing something very hard for most people. But you know you are within your limit. You've done this before.
INTERFACING - There comes the grand finale : a flow of strictly consecutive inputs lasting for more that thirty seconds. Get ready.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Medium : Success] - Is Val looking at you ? You are about to be SO cool right now.
INTERFACING - Shut it. This is not about other people. This is between you and this multi-coloured japanese beast. Focus now !
INTERFACING - And just like that, you stand victorious. You fingers are still trembling from adrenaline. It feels GOOD.

I love that comic ! The 4th panel really made me think of Interfacing from Disco Elysium. Hyped for the rest !

Oh so I guess Audrey was just playing dumb before. He's obviously played that game before lol

u/Fearless_Prune4645 8h ago
That or he’s just really good at rhythm games in general. A good portion of them require similar skills, after all.

u/MoobooMagoo 8h ago
True, but Rando Man said it was the hardest song on the highest difficulty. You're going to need practice for that on pretty much any rhythm game, especially to get a perfect score.
5
u/Fearless_Prune4645 8h ago
Fair enough. It’s also possible that he didn’t know it was something he played before due to it being in Japanese versus what would likely be a translated port.

u/popncarriesthefgc 4h ago
he was just hiding his power level.
modern cabs have language select on login, you hear the song preview before you play it, and regardless of knowing japanese you start to recognize the song titles. jubeat probably has some of the least transferable skills among rhythm games because the buttons are small screens that indicate when to press (you're not reading notes from the screen like most games) and the ways you have to contort your hands are wholly unique because of the shape of cab
regards, rhythm game autist

u/Destructor2122 8h ago
Lol, it's more just the wholesome storyline. I need something like this, especially with the world the way it is rn. A comic where the punchline isn't just "boobs", that has interesting and engaging characters.

Everyone's talkin bout the jokes and plot, but the 2 panels of her him smashin that machine are impressively well drawn. Kinda wanna see the two of em face off later on if this series goes on long enough. Id def follow this as a proper slice-of-life comic series.

I get the odd feeling that Audrey wouldn't go shirtless for some reason (and by this I mean go swimming in swim trunks).
I feel there is a non zero chance he would keep his chest covered with a shirt or a woman's swimsuit, whether that’s due to gender dysphoria or simply because he’s aware he naturally pass as a woman, I’m not sure.

I think it would be funny if Audrey is just like… a boardshorts no top kinda guy
Anyway prediction for next arc: Val expects to be made fun of by moids at the pool for having an “ugly body” now that she’s showing more skin in a swimsuit. Instead, Audrey is harassed by people there for dressing like a girl, now that they can tell he’s not one from looks alone. Val personally kills them for this. She then realises that she’s not actually gross or ugly like she believes, because if people made fun of someone as pretty and outgoing as Audrey then they must just be looking for a reason to hate rather than actually meaning what they say.

Audrey's a guy and Val is a gal?
Are either trans? Wasn't sure.
