Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I’ve had an idea for a video game that intentionally makes talking more difficult, to get people to overcome the anxiety and value interactions more.

It’d be based on some old adventure games where players need to type certain words to garner a response, but use a number of assistive tech forms to:

Allow for many synonyms of the expected word
Remember words that have been used recently
Let console players use a microphone to ask people things
Have NPCs speak using text to avoid the need for fully dynamic speech of all kinds

Probably won’t ever happen but fun to consider.
