Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
It really depends on how much comics are a part of your personal sphere. I don't think it's crazy to not know about a gag strip that's been running for 75 years if you have only the most passing interest in the field and didn't have it readily available for consumption via the funny pages. It hasn't been good for decades and it doesn't hold a lot of cultural cache that would make it ripe for parody. Just because you, personally, aren't familiar with a subject doesn't mean it's not popular or at least known to others.

actually it's probably that majora's mask is a better and more interesting game than Ocarina in every way but that's not really fair considering

Nancy wasn't in either of Seattle's newspapers when I was young enough to care to read newspaper comics

e: It might have been in the Times, we always had the P-I (rip) in our house

I’ve never seen Nancy in the papers either but you could find collected versions in comic shops easily.

Fantagraphics has long heralded Nancy so it got this underground comix appeal in the 80s and 90s kind of like how Moomin was Finland’s best kept secret until the 90s boom.

clearly it's a portmanteau of moo and human, i.e. a cow-human hybrid, or minotaur

That How to Read Nancy book seems pretty interesting, I might pick that up to go along with my copy of How to Read Donald Duck. Probably less Marxist ideological critique in the Nancy one though

In Ki No Kuni II, I just got the Zepplin, this is pretty badass because now I can go anywhere in the gameworld, but what should I do before I continue with the main story?

There's a few Zelda matchups I just refuse to rank against each other because I love them basically equally. Ocarina vs Majora is one of those.

the stealth is badly designed and often made irrelevant by scripted sequences where enemies just rush at you

and the story is like Walking Dead game season 1 except worse characters

Beyond some pretty surface level poo poo (man and young girl that is not his daughter in the zombie apocalypse) LoU and WDs1 have very little in common

Like it's fine if you don't like the game, but that just makes it seem like you haven't played it

Well I'm only up to chapter 5 (Pittsburgh). I think zombie stories just bore me in general.

My hottest take was that Majora's Mask sucks but it's probably been replaced with BotW sucks now.
