Talking Heads and an uncensored slur make this image pretty bad in my opinion. Thoughts?

How about this:

Don't know if it might be a issue with the slightly more than half the comic but the "Duty Commenced" bit is a screen cap from Final Fantasy XIV which is what the comic is about so I dunno if there might be some wiggle room there? Alternatively I can reach out to the artist on social media she's slightly active on Twitter/"X" still.

Current isn't just talking; in the second panel, she's put the hat on her face instead of on her head.

It was chosen in this thread

[up] Yeah, 11 years ago (nearly 12) when I think people were less aware of the offensiveness of that word.

How about this edit of current?:

I still prefer 5 myself though as it shows abilities being locked out has has less crossover with You Have Researched Breathing.

[up][up]Going with that one because it's less busy and visually better at demonstrating the trope.

I actually have no idea what's going on at 5, especially since it requires you knowing a bit about gaming lingo to fully understand it.

5. Honestly it's funnier without dialogue, and I can glean from context what "license points" means (I assume it's just exp points). We can use the first half of the second panel dialogue as a caption.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

7 with "Well honestly I'm ashamed of myself" as the caption is pretty funny.

[up] That's what I meant, my bad.

[tup] I'm thinking 7.

Good morning, and good night, I hardly ever sleep. With what I have, what else do you think I'd ever need?

I still like reusing the non offensive part of the original strip:

"Well honestly I'm ashamed of myself"
