in Hong Kong, the custom is those who're married will give out red pockets to those who're not married, the amount isn't important, it can be as low as HK$10 (the smallest note, never coin), the main point to do this is to exchange best wishes between the giver/receiver like 'good health' 'good fortune' 'good educational progress' whichever suits best. Depending on how close the giver/receiver related, the giver may give out 2 (two) red pockets, that is, one from the husband one from the wife (or only one if unfortunately divorced/widowed). As a rule, people who had unfortunate event in their family (family member passed away) in the last year, will NEVER give out red pocket during current Chinese New Year.

When you're at workplace, your superiors or company may give out special red pocket called 'workplace red pocket', it's given out regardless of your marital status. It's a way for superiors/company to express gratitude to subordinates/employees for their hardwork during the past year, sometimes accompanied with wish like 工作順利 (Everything goes well with your work).

If you're like me who's working in a company with thousands of employees with hundred(s) of colleagues, depending on your marital status, you might have to give out (or receive) hundred(s) of red pockets haha!

Quite thrilling if you're not married and expecting to receive because you have to remember who's who (only ask for red pocket from a married person and it's not nice to ask for red pocket twice after you've been given by someone, doing otherwise will lead to embarassing moment :))

In the end, doing this custom leads to deeper relationships between colleagues and know your colleagues better.

Now we know Sada-chan died in 1998, that's why she's got so many old consoles.

This is Tawawa on Monday. Wholesome endings are a foregone conclusion.

How many gaming consoles does Sada-chan has in her well?

Don't know if it's the right word for it, but I think they are referring to the fainter "lines" that seem to run through the images of her while she's "inside" the screen.

Oh, those. I didn't consciously notice them until I looked more closely after seeing your explanation; had to even get significantly closer to my computer screen just to make sure.

You don't normally, but it's an excellent (but apparently outdated?) shorthand to reference her as "a virtual/in screen entity".

People who emulate video games look for ways to artificially re-introduce scanlines on non-crts in order to create a more authentic experience.

On a side note, this has been a very "I'm showing my age" moment, looking at confusion in the comments over what a scanline is :O

We even have a tag for scanlines - I added it when you mentioned it, because I hadn't noticed either.

I thought scan lines are limited to CRT-era monitors or video tape recordings. Do you still get scan lines on LCD or OLED screens?

Most likely the former. If I had to guess why, the evil grin in the last panel.

I doubt it. Like I said before, she acted more like a clingy jealous girlfriend than anything in the previous strip.

She has Scanlines! I didn't notice them until I zoomed in to the picture, for... uh... research purposes?

Somewhat amusing, that TV is only 4/5 even in Tawawa land.

Nice try Sada-chan but the moment he clicks, he'll just get [out of stock] because he's hesitant when there's only 1 more in stock.

Jesus, how many game consoles does she have stowed away in there!?

By the looks of things, all the most major ones from 90's to the mid-00's, plus a Tamagachi and a CD player. Either she's a retro-gamer or she's behind the times.

Y'know... considering what she supposedly needs it for, there's no need for him to buy such a tricked out monitor. Any big screen should do, right? If she just wants a "door", the cheapest on the market should do the trick. I got ten that says she turns out to be a hardcore gamer, considering her massive console collection.

It's not just any big screen, it's a HiDef, anti-glare, 4 color LCD screen. when she comes through she will look *AMAZING*

... Why is this in the Digging Your Own Grave pool? Is it out of the belief that she's still trying to kill him (which doesn't make sense, since the last strip has her say "Even though you have me!" which is usually what a clingy girlfriend would say) and thus him giving in to her request is him walking to his own doom, or the belief that she will regret seducing him like this once she does cross over because she might be underestimating how perverted he is?
