It happened again. I thought it was behind me, but the dreams came back. I was up all night.
I can't eat. I can't sleep.
What's wrong? It haunts me.
"Oh, Steven not this again," my wife says at breakfast, as she sees me looking into the distance. I forgot about it for months.
But then I remembered that AI: the Somnium Files, the critically acclaimed Japanese visual novel, used the comic sans font for its inner monologue.
He just highlighted the dialogue, he clicked the drop down menu, and then he randomly selected comic sans. Like a thoughtless child wandering by a garden yanking leaves along the way.
He just got away with it. This man, this professional graphic designer. Was it laziness? Was it cruelty?
"You showed me this before," my best friend says as I show him the game. "I don't think this is literally comic sans. Maybe that was the starting point but they clearly modified this."
"But whatever they did," I answer, "it wasn't enough! And now here i am doing what I vowed to never do again, sitting outside his house, hoping to catch a glimpse of him to see him doing his little things, live his insane little life. I think about it every time I see comic sans."
"Okay. Where else do you even see this font?"
"Middle school power point presentations, doge memes, dorm room pamphlets..."
And then…
I know what you did. I know what you did!
I can't eat. I can't sleep.
