History Webcomic / Savestate

* FurryConfusion: Lampshaded in a strip where {{Film/Zootopia}} comes up, where Rick wonders why there were only mammals in the movie and no reptiles or avians (which do exist in the comic's universe).
** During a strip talking about VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild, Kade points out that the Rito in previous Zelda games looked like "creepy humans with bird beaks". All characters shown in this comic- including video game characters- have been portrayed as some form of animal, with no sign that humans exist at all.

Something the two have in common is a passionate love for video games. A lifelong passion, as they show their skill in everything from [[UsefulNotes/The8bitEraOfConsoleVideoGames the original NES and GameBoy]], to [[UsefulNotes/TheEighthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames the Xbox One and PS4]], and [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg even the]] [[UsefulNotes/TheFifthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames Virtual Boy]].

'''Rick:''' From the [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty Rick And Morty]] cartoon.\\

* BeyondTheImpossible: When Harvey breaks Kade's Nintendo Switch, [[http://www.savestatecomic.com/2017/03/not-quite-april-fools/ Kade legit grabs the ghost by the throat]]. His ectoplasmic neck. Bare-handed. BewareTheNiceOnes indeed!

** For context, [[{{Adorkable}} Kade]] gets angry enough to ''grab'' the ''ether-vapor-made'' throat of a ''ghost''. He intimidates a lost soul by threatening to choke him, ''bare-handed''! BewareTheNiceOnes UpToEleven indeed!

* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Kade is ''very'' [[http://www.savestatecomic.com/2017/02/droid-drone/ protective of his pre-order receipt]].

Much of the content is SliceOfLife, though Tim launched the comic's first storyline when the twins inherited a(n apparently haunted) mansion.

* PuppyLove: Kade's interactions with Riley veer into this category. Though it might have to do with the fact that she works at a video game store.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The mansion storyline kicked off [[http://www.savestatecomic.com/2014/06/mail-call/ as an obvious salute]] to Creator/CaseyKasem, as they found out their "Uncle Scooby" died.[[note]]Yes, we know Kasem played Shaggy. Close enough.[[/note]]
** Kade manages to compete in the 2015 Nintendo World Championships but loses in Mario Kart 8, so the competition is won, just like in real life, by John Numbers.[[note]]Well, his FunnyAnimal counterpart.[[/note]]

* WeirdnessCensor: Kade somehow fails utterly to see the spectral rabbit thing Nicole is [[http://www.savestatecomic.com/2014/09/look-where-im-pointing/ pointing out]].
