Image description: 4 panel Loading Artist comic. 1: Blue guy stands behind Red guy playing a game on the couch "oh it's a SINGLE-PLAYER game?". 2: Blue guy scoffs "no thanks. Single-player games feel too lonely". 3: Blue guy puts on gamer headset "that's why I only play MULTIPLAYER games". 4: Blue guy happily at his PC, while tweaking his game settings Voice Chat: OFF, Text Chat: OFF, Friend Requests: OFF.

Except for the three dictionary definitions I provided. 😆
Yeah, that’s my original point. The comic is claiming that there is no communication in a multiplayer game when the voice and text chat is turned off. That a person can be “lonely” in a multiplayer game.
I’m claiming that there is still communication. I’m claiming that the comic’s premise is faulty.
I am arguing that it is possible to coordinate without voice or text chat.
Go tell one of your friends you’re playing a multiplayer game and see the look they give you when you say it’s checkers…. It’s not how people talk, it is “technically” but no one actually calls it that…
No it never claimed no communication, interactions. Since you can’t communicate with anything in a SP game… did you forget this key detail…?
You missed the intent of the comic, it happens, not everyone understands everything.
I’m moving on from this, peace.
Please explain, in detail, what you think the comic intends.
Again with the snide remark. Are you okay, dude? This isn’t that serious.
