Shen Comix has done it again with a side-splitting comic strip that perfectly encapsulates the anxiety many gamers feel when taking on epic challenges. This three-panel comic, sourced from shencomix.com, features two distinct characters in a setup that has left fans in stitches and sparked a flurry of relatable comments.

In the first panel, an orange-haired character with a large bow, yellow shirt, and blue shoes, stands with an unsure expression. An unclothed, bald figure, labeled "FROM SOFT," hands the anxious character a sword, saying, "HERE YA GO, BUDDY!" The tension sets in immediately, as anyone familiar with From Software games knows the difficulty that lies ahead.

The second panel heightens the suspense, showing the orange-haired character holding the sword with trembling hands and tear-filled eyes. The purple background emphasizes the character's anxiety as they ask, "WH-WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO FIGHT WITH THESE?"

The comic delivers its punchline in the third panel, where the blank-headed figure, now kneeling next to the orange-haired character, nonchalantly replies, "GOD." The gradient from green to blue in the background adds a surreal touch to the humor.

Fans of Shen Comix and From Software games have found the strip incredibly relatable. One commenter said, "That Radahn is STUNNING! Do you remember who the artist is?" Another reflected deeper emotions, stating, "Honestly, I've never seen a more accurate depiction of what I'm feeling every day."

The comic has also sparked discussions about gaming challenges and personal achievements. One user shared, "This game is one of the few games I have truly enjoyed in a very long time. Played through to get three different endings and the platinum trophy."

As always, Shen Comix manages to blend humor with poignant commentary, making this strip a must-see for fans and newcomers alike. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just appreciate clever comic art, this strip is sure to resonate and entertain.

#11 that hits home, at least before the meds and years of therapy. Now it's a much more mild yet unending sense of melancholy and somber. No longer spiraling into the void but the world still doesn't have any color.
