Reasons I have seen webcomic authors publicly cite for cancelling their comic mid-storyline:

Too busy  

Lost interest  

Increasing age gap between characters and author made it difficult to relate  

Did the math and figured out that completing the planned arc with their current update schedule would take 150 years  

Ostensible author actually a fictional persona that’s now being retired, and they didn’t want the comic linked to their real identity  

Realised that the way they’d written the central relationship wasn’t emotionally genuine (note: this was a hobbit porn comic)  

The comic’s readership contained too many lesbians  

Converted to a religion that regards all representational art as a form of idolatry  

Broke up with the person the protagonist was based on  

Outed as not actually Japanese  

Imprisoned for manslaughter  

Aliens

Just eight more years until non-licensed fantasy tabletop RPGs can stop pretending that their hobbits aren't hobbits.

The fringe Parasitic Encephalization Theory claims our nervous system is a parasite that took over the body of the earliest vertebrate ancestor. It captures 20% of the body's resources, while staying separate from the blood and being considered unique by the immune system.

While very few defend this theory, one fact supports it: If the body dies while the skull is open, the brain and spinal cord sometimes detach and briefly flail outside, in what could perhaps be an ancient host-seeking reflex.

The problem with playing as a character I know is extremely capable is that I feel I am dishonouring her when I keep dying to random minibosses

“sex/romance/empathy makes us human,” they say. awful. pathetic. what makes us human is the urge to set things on fire

Scientists have just discovered some rocks at the bottom of the ocean can make oxygen... and they do it in complete darkness!

These aren’t magic stones, they’re polymetallic nodules, potato-sized metal lumps packed with manganese, cobalt, and nickel.

But here’s the twist; when seawater flows over their surfaces, they generate tiny electric currents that can split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. No sunlight, no photosynthesis, just deep-sea chemistry creating breathable gas in the pitch black.

This “dark oxygen” could explain how deep-sea creatures survive in low-oxygen zones far from the surface. What's even wilder is that if this can happen on Earth, it could be happening right now in the hidden oceans of Europa or Enceladus, two icy moons that scientists think might host alien life.

My silksong experience so far:

I'm in the deep end of platforming bell hell, bosses want to pummel me to a pulp, my fingers hurt dodging and weaving like my life depends on it, Pharloom is a capitalistic hellscape that wants to take all my money in new and exciting ways so i'm broke constantly, and every unlocked area unleashes brand new horrors beyond my comprehension while I sob at a bench preparing my next attempt.

Great fucking game. I can't put it down. :)

Either Silksong has managed to completely take down Steam's checkout workflow, or there's an extremely funny coincidence happening right now.
