Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Because they were. Back then games changed drastically with more powerful systems. Today, you sometimes have the same game available for multiple console generations.
Hell the Last of Us is on every plastation system from the PS3 onwards, also Skyrim. There were also notable differences between PC and console games with random bits of overlap, now its a fucken circle.
Yup. NES to SNES - huge! SNES to N64 - huge! N64 to Gamecube - huge! Gamecube to Wii - ehh, widescreen is nice, graphics aren't that much better otherwise. Wii to Wii U - more of a jump than Gamecube to Wii thanks to HD. Wii U to Switch - not really that different, it's the system actually being popular and portable that makes it better more than the tech.
Used to be that 5 years was enough time for graphics to be astronomically better. Now we have games approaching 20 years old that don't look too bad by today's standards.
Skyrim without mods? That's possible?
