I’ve made quite a few posts to /c/risa that are actual OC. I’m either horrible at humor, the timing is bad, or it doesn’t work for whatever reason. Extremely low effort memes? Lots of upvotes. If I do high effort stuff that takes an hour or more, I’m just discouraged by the lack of even comments.

So, to tie this all up - is it worth a latinum bar to keep trying to do OC? Do you all even want that (seriously)?

Every professional funny person, from stand up comedians, to humour columnists, to daily comic strip cartoonists, has to hone their craft. And even once they do, not every thing they produce is going to be a banger.

Figure out what is funny to you, and work at making stuff you think is funny. There’s a good chance that there’s an audience that exists that will share your sense of humour.

Got to hone my meme craft so that I can bring much honor to my house. 💪

Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
