Hey Aneeka, idk ifyou are aware of this, but the page you linked here has its comic repeating 4 times. Lol
Just wanted to point it out. Love the comic!

Yeah, the site is having a lot of difficulties and is being held by the equivalent of duct tape while I continue researching my options since there are no easy fixes. My main goals right now is a) is the site up b) is the recent comic able to be viewed and c) can the archive be accessed? As long as those are in the affirmative, I’m leaving the rest of it alone for now.

Hmmm…
Lots of possibilities that could be causing the duplication issue.
The most likely culprit is a plugin. (A random Plugin either needs to be updated or is wreaking havoc with the older pages)
If it is only impacting older pages it could also be due to the pages being uploaded on an older version of wordpress. Either version 4, or version 5 had a major update where the entire UI was overhauled. WordPress does offer a plugin of the older UI called wordpress classic. I am doubtful you will want to install another plug in, even if it would help with the older pages.
It’s tough as I think your webpage has gone thru multiple versions of wordpress which makes it harder for you to diagnose. Also, going thru and un installing, and reinstalling plugins one by one does not sound like fun either. (Unfortunately, I have had to do that a couple of times myself, hopefully never again.. lol)

Panel 2: “Is the NPC Kat really dangerous? Don’t hurt me, please!”
Panel 3: “Hmmm… I know Bandit’s the expert, but…”

I wonder if “Kat” will disclose Kleya’s real name if/when Danni asks about Kleya.

Thanks for the new strip, Aneeka!

I have to imagine it’s novel for Kat to have someone legit worried for her safety (as opposed to trying to arrest/kill her). Danni has always been my favorite as the foil to everyone else’s dramatic shenanigans, and I also love her for asking the right questions and just generally being a good influence :3

Yeah, Danni might be my favorite too for similar reasons

Jake’s worried about Kleya too.

Jake: “I’ll explain later. Offline.”

I know he’s almost certainly talking about outside of the Game, and in LiFE, but now I’m imagining that, post-Game-Session, Jake shows up in Danni’s City in Reality, next to where she is, and attempts to speak to her from there about what he is intending to explain.

On one hand, that seems very unlikely for Jake to do, given their current locations in Reality…but I also didn’t expect Danni and The Bandit to be having this discussion at all, so…all bets are off on where this goes.

well he will be in for a shcok since she is basically paralized in a life sustaining machine and might not even interact with the real world. sorta like mae but even worse

Yeah, that’s why I phrased it as “Attempts to speak to her.”.

Chances are, he’s also in for a shock when he does.

Presuming D doesn’t shock him first for even showing up.

Danni lost her previous friend to the game, so understandable she’s worried.
also, happy new year to everyone, I hope this year will treat you better then the last one 🙂

Some things for Jake to consider before answering Danni:
Are the cameras on?
Who’s watching us?
Will Danni’s interaction with NPC Kat be logged somewhere?
What happens if Kim/Dr. Grace/Dmitri find out what happened?
What will ‘the Prez’ do if he finds out?
Will Danni even care what answer I give her?

Thanks for the update!

I suspect Danni is going to ask because she has none of the context the other two and she’ll get an answer and that’s going to mess with Jake’s expectations. Perhaps that’s going to be the reason why Kat logs back in?

Either way, looking forward to the next update

Just reread the comic. This story is better than I had remembered. Actions fit motivations and everyone has several goals that may conflict with each other. The characters make sense as people.

I just wanted to say again how much I appreciate this comic. I look forward to the next page!

Thank you for this comic, I was reminiscing on my days binging webcomics and remembered yours <3 I hope you keep uploading so I get to see your story
