Comic Sans is good

i am dyslexic :3
I think this is a pretty cold take at this point; but, Comic Sans just kinda looks good.
Comic Sans
Occasionally, I’ll post a screenshot of my text editor or my web browser…
I often get comments about the number of tabs I have open, or my choice of browser, or whatever.
But, before any of that, without fail, someone will bring up something else:
Comic Code
I used to juggle a few different fonts, often changing to a new font after using the same one for a while. The popular Fira Code was one of my favourites for a long time, at least when editing or reading monospaced text. Ligatures usually helped with dyslexia, but I still consistently misread words or strained to read.
Eventually, I found Toshi Omagari’s Comic Code, and bought the Ligatures Coding Essentials set on the spot. Now, I exclusively use that font for all monospaced text, and Comic Sans MS for all plain text where possible.
I even use it in my terminal!
Thats all (:
so, like… morally… ethically… if you’re not using comic sans youre a sinner :3
