I don't get it

I don't get it

LOL

lel

go hard

Man, I hate how thoroughly niggerspeak infects the internet.

This post goes hard

I literally don't understand the joke
why would all the 13 year olds, specifically, dying be notable?

Wait, the plot of the game is that someone is killing off all the old hags, until it's just prime age girls left who have to keep the births going?

this shitty webcomic was once popular enough to have a fucking convention

How in the fuck do you start a convention about a webcomic is beyond me

Expedotion 11...

I love the whole of the internet trying to call it "Expedition 33" instead of "Clair Obscura" because when a title gets too "not American English" we have a mental brekadown

to be fair, look at how they decided to make the logo.

What did he mean by this?
Is this a edit? Like what's the joke?

Webcomics were quick and easy entertainment in the early to mid 2000s and there were TONS of them. Comics like PE, the ones that found their footing, are still going because of how important they once were and still are to their fans.

I don't get it

pig man thinks it would be cool to have some kind of lord of the flies scenario where kids fight for the fate of the world but it sounds like he just wants to fuck 13 year olds

WHY IS HE SO BALD

I get it, and I don't get how (You) couldn't get it.

fr no cap

because he gets hard at the thought of it

So you call them The Elder Scrolls instead of Morrowind, Oblivion, or Skyrim?

Who even reads Penny Arcade enough for it to still be going on? Its like the Modern Simpsons where apparently theres just a legion of bots who read this slop and never discuss it. Besides PAX and Tycho being in Poker Night what impact has this dogshit strip even had? Even CTRL ALT DEL has Loss and the value of ironic humor attached to it, this shit on the other hand is dry as fuck.

tumblr noses gone

At least that's an improvement

I don't call it 7 I call it Final Fantasy.

do you call splinter cell "tom clancy" ?

The entire title is cancer

splinter cell

you mean "stealth action refined"?

complains about simple-minded retards using the easier words of the title

fucking gets the other part wrong, himself

lmao

Clair Obscura is a retarded fucking name, i genuinely thought everyone was freaking out about a nancy drew type game before realizing clair obscura and expedition 33 were the same thing

Sounds similar to tactical espionage action

he means what if this game but high school

AYOOOOOO

I look back at the kerfuffle over someone saying they were raped to sleep by dickwolves and PA's sudden disavowal of it as the exact moment that we entered These Trying Times.

Penny Arcade was a good forum to discuss video games in the 2000s. That was a long ass time ago, though, I wasn't aware this comic was still going. Stopped reading when they lost their edge and caved to complaints about the dickwolves.

I think this joke would make much more sense if he used the power of cartoons to show us what would be so funny about Expedition 13 in the third panel. But what the fuck do I know!

Nah it just sounds gay and lame. Like some homosexual makeup brand.

At this point I use it like a gaming news site.

i mean, it's a nice title in the sense that you juxtapose clear-obscure for a nice contrast, but why the fuck wouldn't you call it expedition 33?
it's pretty obvious what part is the main title, even from the cover

The wild thing is that they made a whole comic follow-up saying “grow the fuck up it’s just a dumbass joke” and then immediately caved afterward and deleted all of it with apologies to those raped by wolves or whatever.

That said I still look at PA every once in awhile. It, Oglaf and Awkward Zombie are about the only comics I still have any awareness of. I’m shocked when I find out some are still going that I used to read

Expedition 33 is a decent subtitle and a horrible franchise name or main title is why they called it that. It's Final Fantasy Tactics, not War of the Lions.

American noticing there isn't a cheeseburger anywhere in the title

The same fucking reason you wouldn't call a game franchise Unknown 9.

You know it means light and dark right

calm down guys it's just an ed-

it's real

what the fuck? are they fishing for the new dickwolves discourse?

Are you sure it doesn't mean clear obscure because that makes way more sense

What even is the joke?

Your mind on Anon Babble. The joke is that jrpgs are always about plucky teenagers saving the world. You are degenerate so you immediately assume it’s about gooning to children

I'm left to assume that he means something along the lines of an expedition of teenagers being even more melodramatic and ineffective? Something about teen angst, I guess?
If only there were some way he could have shown us what was funny... like in some sort of cartoony fashion of some sort

There’s no curry either saar stay calm please

Why specifically 13 then? Squall is 17 in FF8 and Cloud is 21. Crono is 17.

The wall is real and has comedic applications.

Kids would suck or be comically-narratively competent at saving the world.

I dunno because you have to pick one? Would you not be upset if the joke was expedition 17? There is probably more humor in a group of 13 year olds who are the oldest and most mature people on the planet

Kids would suck

haha

clear
easy to perceive, understand, or interpret
obscure
not discovered or known about; uncertain

just look at the words, the influence of latin languages in english is not a coincidence

light is lumiere, darkness is obscuritè.

what makes more sense for an expedition, aka a voyage into the unknown?

PAX is their actual job now, it's replaced E3 as the gaming industry's central physical get-together

They pretty consistently get 60,000 to 70,000 paying attendees and 500 to 800 companies to turn up, four times a year (Boston, Seattle, Philadelphia, Melbourne), which has to be a comfortable living and they also bitch fairly regularly about how that's essentially their day job and they also make a comic sometimes

Of course there used to be a fifth event in San Antonio. They used COVID as an excuse to cancel that forever but I think they just didn't like Texas.

no u

The might of the USA

Um where is the diversity?

I don't think there's ever been a PA strip with a joke in it.

this is still their best strip

The irony that WoW (Gilneas) spawned the inspiration for the dickwolves comic, and both PA and WoW went soft over time

MegaTokyo is still going
Questionable Content is still going
Both haven't had their art evolve in the slightest over the last 15 years

Anon Babble and Anon Babble have had ongoing Bittersweet Candybowl threads as long as I can remember God that comic sucks

MegaTokyo is still going

I'm not sure I count that when they only update one page every three or four months.

Also that visual novel people paid money for never came out.

This is the edgy 2000s randomness I crave

What happened too the artstyle? It should've just stayed with this, now it's like a tumblr refugee got hired for it.

There's really nothing like 2000's webcomics.

Gabe probably got uppity like artists do, when 75% of webcomics tried to be 2000's Penny Arcade. A lot of them got the artstyle down pat, and I guess he thought they had to escape that black hole.

they would be allowed to have sex since they are about to die

I call bs, when their mid 2000's style basically blends into the geometric designs of most shows at the time. Like Clerks, or Dexter's Lab. But artists are vain, so yeah that could have been the catalyst for change.

Does anyone have the parody where the two are called "player 1" and "player 2" and player 1 ends up falling in love with a little girl who was playing multiplayer with him?

Penny Arcade was at the forefront of edgy videogame webcomics. I promise you, the people doing their own vidya comics with geometric shapes were aping them, not "Dexter's Lab."

Was that a Buckley comic? I know he did some with colorful humans named player.

I call it 'Tom Calancy'

I call it...

I think it was done by some anon because he ended up getting the loli pregnant and she threatened the doctor with death if he told her parents.

I could see that happening in Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

moon over june

american elf

hathor the cow goddess

Are any of these still going?

>hathor the cow goddess

don't think i recall this one. do i wanna know?

Don't forget the trans girl one where every single comic is "her" blatantly in the wrong and basically the villain.

mods really don't want me posting these huh?

The "this is me, you're beautiful" one I think is ongoing still.

Moon Over June is still going
It's about trannies now
Being Moon Over June, it has biblically accurate trannies, flabby and grey-haired, their tiny limp dicks flopping in the wind as they're pegged by their angry hairy lovers, both partners gurning as if being eviscerated

Has this phenomenon been named yet? Because if not, I want to call it the Moon Over June Ahegao.

Look up Ghastly's Ghastly Comic again a few years ago

Uncle Ghastly is now auntie Ghastly

What a waste.

Absolutely nobody wants you posting these dude
The only way this gets any worse is in five minutes when the furry spammer shows up to storytime his incredibly fucking boring 5,000 page comic again

This one is called. "Bean there done that". What do you guys think?

Heh, women!

You fuck you just summoned that faggot. Why does he always try and spam that garbage when no one wants to fucking read it?

They literally have interns doing the art, aping the artstyle

In a pathetic highlight of my Anon Babble career, I once got him to admit that he does it simply because he hates webcomic threads and doesn't want Anon Babble to have them, making him an honorary janny who does 10x the work for half the pay

I like LOL threads where we post random shitty webcomic, I find it incredibly boring when somebody just dumps some manga
Good to know at least part of my hatred comes from one spammer, that's classic Anon Babble

sex with lizard lady

He's just wants to be an honorary janny.

That's just... unbelievably sad. Can't you just report the thread for being off topic if you REALLY wanted to be a fag about it? Why put in the extra effort?

Freud would have a field day

barneyfags, this is your mindset

I legitimately forgot how awful these got.

There's a lot of them. My main board is Anon Babble. There's a guy who is furious that porn exists, like if you are in a thread and offhandedly mention Sasha Grey or something he'll show up and start spamming CP, then reporting his own posts until the thread is deleted

There's a guy who insists that you will never speak about Star Trek, and there's even a Star Trek general that runs every day to 300 posts and 200 of them are just him shrieking that Star Trek is for old people and the new black lesbian Star Trek is far superior, like it'd be lazy bait if he did it every once in a while but he's literally made tens of thousands of posts for 18+ hours a day for years

There's a guy who, I think if I were in a room with him I could outright fucking murder, who has made an entire list

you will not talk about The Simpsons

you will not talk about Family Guy

you will not talk about the Saw horror movies

you will not talk about the pundit Bill Maher

you will not talk about any movie where the main character rides a motorcycle

And he's just got infinite fucking energy to watch the board every waking hour and start spamming terrible AI images and nonsensical puns about ice cream if someone breaks his sacred laws

I don't understand why he targets lol threads instead of shit like youtube comment screencap threads or culture war threads or whatever.

Because occasionally people are communicating with each other and deriving enjoyment from lol threads

youtube.com/watch?v=kGlF4eBR_z8&list=PLQuZzCxg4TNOM9n7RpLPPBSDX7EINOsyu
Never forget

ugly maxxing

it's autism/aspergers

I once got him to admit that he does it simply because he hates webcomic threads and doesn't want Anon Babble to have them

LOL threads are Anon Babble culture though and have been a thing since time immemorial
the mind of schizos truly is something "normal" people like us cannot comprehend, honestly though i feel as if these threads from 10+ years ago had way worse shit dumped into it on the regular

Haven't played the game. What happens if the number goes down then you have a birthday the next day that puts you at that number? Is it a one time thing you can skip or it stays in effect the whole year?

Everyone older than the age dies I think, so 32 means anyone at least 33 will die

How did Anon Babble of all places end up infested with so many shrieking retards? I've tried to discuss shows there occasionally and it never works because all the threads are full of chimpanzees flinging shit at each other.

What's it been? Like 15 years of that obnoxious pac-man hairstyle on Gabe's head? I still can't look at it and take it seriously.

He said he did that to "evolve" as an artist except it still fucking looks shitty and exactly the same 15 years later. Evolve some more god damn it.

Kikewood influence. Also why manchildren raised on games made after 2012 ruined Anon Babble.

It's Anon Babble, everybody's got autism. Hell, I've got fucking autism because I'm more concerned about and angrier at this shit than I should be.
The crazy part is that these people are MORE rigid than bots. These days bots actually do sort of engage you, ChatGPT's Chinese Room trick has gotten really good to the point where at a glance or two you could 95% believe that's a genuine thinking feeling retard on the internet you're talking to
The ritual spam guys are LESS than that, all they can communicate is their next fucking canned response, in spite of the fact that they're flesh and blood typing this shit out

Like the fucking gay guy on Anon Babble who succeeded for some time to make it impossible to talk about literally any RPG with a character creator (including Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Cyberpunk, Baldur's Gate and Mass Effect simultaneously) because we're going to talk about how sexy men are and how everyone who's sexually attracted to women is a tranny pedophile instead. Anon Babble ended up rangebanning Uruguay to get rid of him. Yes, he was from the U R Gay country. Yes, there's 10 million people in that country and he singlehandedly managed to get them all barred from Anon Babble, I feel sorta bad about that because there's probably five others here that were okay dudes

It was never about "growing as an artist." It was about disassociating with their past edgier comics.

That doesn't answer the question. Do they die the moment it's painted, or do they die continuously as they have their birthdays throughout the year?

there's someone on Anon Babble like this who said he has aspergers

The paintress activates the spell at a specified time and everyone older than what is painted dies. She does this once a year, and paints a lower number each year

She sounds like a bitch

It's just you could do something that you actually enjoy like jack off to something, watch something, read something, play a vidya, or fuck even engage in a thread you actually like. And they choose to do, all of this embarrassing shit for hours upon hours a day, every day? That's basically hell. Actual honest to god hell.

Wait was he the guy who always posted his generic bara characters and cried about str8s? Is that why I haven't seen him in 6 months? And they had to rangeban an entire country to get rid of him ell oh ell.

How has ban evasion not been dealt with yet? Surely there's an actual way to deal with schizos who have dedicated their life to ruining the website?

Questionable Content

Haven’t read that in forever. Last I saw the main characters have basically left the series and everyone remaining is a gaggle of racially diverse lesbians. He never truly recovered after stabbing himself in the hand out of impotent rage, did he?

We talking about farquaad or is there another gay spammer?

I like it if you finish with the in the paint part.

I watched that series as a kid. Knowing everything else about him, I don't know how to feel about this.

You run an anonymous imageboard. Anonymity is the whole point of the entire thing. There are spammers who you wanna perma-ban. Since there are no accounts on the imageboard, the only data you have on him is an IP and some cookies
How do you permaban him?

I'm gonna take this opportunity to ask, because I am in no way a newfag but somehow this singular bit of Anon Babble lore always eluded me

Who the fuck is ACfag? Is it Armored Core, Assassin's Creed, Animal Crossing? Just from context and having met all of the similar shit-smearing cretins I can guess what his deal is but I really don't know what specific game is his singular target of wrath.

Armored Core. If you ever see someone throwing a total spergfit in a thread about how even the slightest bit of story makes something a moviegame, that's ACfag. He actually likes armored core; the whole deal was that he'd go into things like Metroid or Bayonetta threads and start calling them moviegames because they have cutscenes, while proudly proclaiming how Armored Core is the peak of vidya.

He's a guy that acts really insufferable while avatar posting using Nineball (a dude from Armored Core). Honestly I never saw him enough to get a read on him, I mean he was clearly pissed about DS killing AC but you know who isn't? He was just kind of a tool shitting up threads on games he didn't like.

B-but AC has cutscenes too...
He's making AC fans look bad doing this shit

Moon over June is the only comic that's disgusted me to the point of never reading it. And I have a really strong stomach for that sort of thing. Junji Ito, skeleton jelly, etc, no problem. It's like it was drawn specifically to disgust me in particular.

He considers them not to count because he's "willing to admit flaws in his favorite games"
Funny enough he also recently seems to have gotten banned, or at least bitchslapped by the new mods. He's stopped posting his usual images and won't even mention some of his favorite games by name.

Oh shit yeah that was his deal sperging out over story in vidya. He did Avatarfag as Nineball at some point though right? I'm not misremembering that right? And he did fuck around in Dark Souls threads back on the day yeah?

VGCats avatar

Suddenly I just remembered the creator failed at making a go of drawing furry porn on his Patreon

things i rail against are OK in the things because it doesn't count

A tale as old as time

Dispatch a team of jannies to assassinate him.

skeleton jelly

always a favorite of mine

Tried to do all kinds of searches like "american elf pedophile", "kochalka pedophile" etc, nothing
It's like Americans don't want to admit he's a fucking creep, and his wikipedia page says nothing

I really hate these kinds of comics for some reason, the "woah dude this big thing is made up of tons of tragic stories dude woah", like the balls made up of tragic memories

I'm pretty sure he avatarfagged as some other mech actually, and he started out losing his mind over Metroid Other M.
He insists that anyone who doesn't feel revulsion at the sight of the Zero Suit is actually defending Other M specifically, by the way.

He's a victim of child sexual assault himself that kind of thing fucks you up forever.

MegaTokyo is still going

How?! At least Penny Arcade is still consistent after 26 years, MegaTokyo, if its lucky, updates maybe a couple of times a year.

defending other m specififcally

when the zero suit debuted in zero mission (hence it being the ZERO suit)

What's with self proclaimed elitists not actually being knowledgeable?

I thought you people were talking of me because I did a number on AC threads yelling about stagger and autolock. Shall I begin rambling about how turn rate would improve AC6?

Thanks for the knowledge dump, actually interesting. Because I'd heard of the dude plenty before, just hushed whispers of what a fucking tool he was, and I could fill in the blanks in my head.

woah dude this big thing is made up of tons of tragic stories dude woah

i dont think its supposed to be deep or anything just a weird otherwordly nonsensical setting
ive never seen a followup comic to it

His entire set of core opinions reads like someone trying to sound like a "real gamer" in 2010, of course he doesn't actually use any logic.

I only played AC6, the thing that game needs is a fucking autofire toggle, I'm tired of mashing the triggers

what are some other notable Anon Babble schizos, while we're on this topic
i know about barry/xvkun and barneyfag already, are there any others?

You're baiting. By that point the game would become playable on phone and would get a google play adaptation.
It's already almost that bad if you murder the game with OP build. Four gatlings on a four legs and you can play with the screen turned off. I wish I was joking.

Essayfag. The guy who makes like 6 consecutive double-spaced rambling posts about nothing for an OP and has a hateboner about every game he's ever disliked.
Sybb is obsessed with the butts of a handful of video game girls. One from some gamecube game nobody played, then there's Samus, then BOTW Zelda. There's some lore with him getting booted off multiple other sites for his weird attempts to gather a consensus on his opinions. (Mostly that butts with any degree of give to them are "flabby" and embarrassing and women should strive to be as skinny as physically possible.)
Also Nutriments Nigger, but I haven't seen him around in a couple years.

Russian NG non-player schizo
KH2FM guy

rugga the 3incher

There's Fygoon who continues to peddle the idea that he isn't a furry despite his game featuring buff lizard men

I mean the guy's from Vermont a State in the US. And won an award from Vermont, and his work is stored in the library of congress. And he's only really known around American comic book circles.

author is american

book is literally called american elf

But anon, the skill comes from managing your overheating and charging, or your reloads
Hammering the triggers manually adds nothing except manual dexterity

lunaticsoda, requestfag, and marielX do everything in their power to shit up the drawthreads and make them absolutely unusable and i personally think they're the ones who kept spamming that gay drawfag's comics in the LOL threads

Same
I read too much of it trying to find the boner and the boner never arrived

jesus i used to read this shit compulsively up to around a decade ago. they had a documentary series too where they kept going on how the magic when collaborating was the only reason they still were doing this and would quit in a second if that ever got lost.

That """drawfag""" in taimanin, Senran etc threads that cries about gate keepin

for me it's Girl Dobson

that's lunaticsoda, he's been at it for ages

the joke is they're gay

Cannot stand this trend

I read the whole thing back during the older runs. It's very obviously some sort of kinky lrsbian propaganda made by a tranny.

IT'S NOT A JOKE YOU FUCKING CHUD

I actually could have believed it was drawn by a genuine fat hairy tumblr dyke until the tranny characters showed up

Being gay is a joke, but it's no joke how little we professional god tier voice actors get paid

My favourite thing about this artist is that her Patreon includes "erotic" content of herself because she knows her art alone would get nothing. Just sad acceptance that her work is worthless and falling back on the hopes that her body carry her.

roflmao

the joke is lesbian sex

need more of this trend

no mention of ACfag

did he sudoku after people stopped caring about the new Zelda?

Oh, my mistake

So how does the magic number work, exactly?
When it ticks down to 32, would it only kill everyone who is 32 years old when the number hit 32? Or does it also kill anyone who becomes 32 years old while the number is still 32?
Like if I'm 31, but my birthday happens after the number changes to 32, would I still be fine? Wouldn't that allow some people to skip over the death waves depending on when their birthday is?

nigga read the thread

Have zoomies never heard of Logans Run

Not exactly, I remember even 15 years ago people were convinced they were an agp tranny

Damn, the Prince Succession arc is getting a bit weird.

My son was literally doing it all the time since 2y old, he is 5 now. He goes up and down on my foot saying seesaw
But he never did it without pants so far

her nudes are very repulsive and her webcomic is actually just a roastie screaming into the void
worthless human

I think someone says it kills everyone that age and over. So even if you lucked out and skipped a death wave by having your birthday be the day before you're still getting fucked next year once the next death wave hits.

He was asking because we were just talking about ACfag

Both haven't had their art evolve in the slightest over the last 15 years

Questionable Content's art did change. It arguably got even worse.

Woah I sure looooove cool-down management. I wish it was in every games it's such a riveting mechanic. Remember when MOBA were the big thing? Or overwatch? Woah so technical and satisfying. Love watching gauges and shit man.

Thank you for this post unironically making me finally realize why I hate Doom Eternal

So laser weapons should be able to be fired forever with no drawback, but mashing the triggers all game is incredibly high skill?
Good lord you're a fucking casual

index and middle

not middle and ring

Seems like shit technique desu, but maybe that’s just me

Nexus was kino you fucking pleb

I don't remember what the deal with this was, probably making fun of some guy who only posted a thumbnail

dangerous levels of blindness, I guess I'm retarded.

The guy who makes mother threads and then replies to himself hundreds of times about mother 3 being overrated. I think he started out on Anon Babble and moved to Anon Babble.

what was it? i want to see hot lizard women

LÖL

Oh yeah thanks a lot O forgot about eternal. It's without a shadow of a doubt the most aggravating example of that new school of game design I LOATHE.

Play ps1 AC and PS2 AC before you start spouting shit oh god. It doesn't matter how large your dps is if you don't have the technical skills to both keep your target in sight AND evade him while mastering the movements so you stay away from his lockbox. That's what's saddening in AC6, lot of technicalities were sacrificed and went from pure manual control to either full automation or is slightly stirred one way or another so the player will not be overwhelmed. Like the atrocious BIP BIP whenever something's about to hit you.

There's a 3rd world namefag who goes by "Saucy" but is more commonly referred to as "Shit Sniffer". You can likely infer why he's called that.

to both keep your target in sight AND evade him

So mashing the triggers is an unnecessary annoyance and should be replaced by autofire as long as you hold them, since mashing all game is not part of the skill required. Glad we could come to an agreement :)

Caramel

When you thought it couldn't get any worse...

can't believe scotty boy is making regular comics again
good on him, i loved vg cats when i was younger

No since in a good AC you have ammo that's going down fast as fuck and you get some moments when you ain't hitting shit because your target's erratically moving in a fucked up pattern to throw you off or going up and down or hiding behind a weird warping ps1 texture making you think you can hit him because he's right there but actually he's not he's behind a solid object.

Oh yeah and swords aren't heat seeking weapons slinging you in the face of the enemy so you need skill to hit with them. So with that too you'll need timing.

and you get some moments when you ain't hitting shit because your target's erratically moving

So stop holding the trigger in those moments. You mashing the triggers has 0 difference to you hoiding the triggers with an autofire mechanic
You keep seething about this but then always point out mechanics that don't clash with an autofire at all. So I'll take your concession at this point. Have a nice day

The signs were always there with his fixation on Freddy aka James with tits.

This is a normal presentational format if you know in advance that you're preparing for sequels in a franchise

Ronnie is back and is still vaguely amusing about 20% of the time which means it's still the best webcomic on earth

Evil Tiger. Dude sometimes comes here to bitch about getting banned from one Steam community hub or another for being a spergy faggot but then accidentally reveals his identity and then everyone gets to have a laugh when someone posts his steam profile which reveals he's some Russian retard with some kind of mental disability (most likely autism) that he's self diagnosed as "dark personality disorder" because lolrussianmentalhealthcare

500 to 800 companies to turn up

Is it all indies/small-time publishers, or what?
None of the flagship corporations like Nintendo, Sony, etc. have anything physical ever since E3 dissolved, do they?

just take the interactivity away it doesn't matter, also because I'm retarded I forgot what you said two minutes ago about ammo management.

I know you're talking about games you never played but there's modules just for that in OG AC. Want to know why we're not using theses? BECAUSE IT WASTES ALL YOUR SHIT AND THEN YOU'RE LEFT WITH NOTHING TO DEFEND YOURSELF. AND ALSO BECAUSE IT'S A WASTE OF A SLOT TO USE WITH A REAL EXTENSION.

STOP WASTING MY TIME JUST SO YOU CAN BE THE LAST TO POST.

Quick googling shows Microsoft and Sony stopped coming to PAX in 2020

Shockingly, Nintendo continued until 2024, although this year they've officially dropped out

You already conceded, anon. But it was really nice of you to also confirm that you are literally unable to not waste your ammo by just not holding down the triggers when you don't wanna fire. This therefore proves that you don't want autofire because you do not have the manual dexterity to let go at critical times. You just wanna mash the triggers cause you lack the physical skill to do anything else.
No more (you)s, you completely destroyed your own point accidentally.

you can actually see the subtly different expression in panel #5 indicating contemplation of whether this is an improvement to the status quo or not.

ngtl, sometimes penny arcade is low-key great.
Rarely- but sometimes.

Reminds me of:

People unfairly hate me because I think gameplay matters more than anything else. For some reason it drives people mad.

Little too relatable

Same, was thinking of the bug time loop comic too when I saw it

Do normalfags really use napkins when eating by themselves? Just go wash your face, fag

oh wait you're talking about an autofire to activate at will which will waste all your lead indiscriminately if a target is entering the lock or not? First you have controllers for that, secondly it's immensely retarded and encouraging a game design more lenient on visual spectacle than interactivity, quick wits and such. What the fuck was this conversation?
Oh yeah I know, some nigger bending it so he can have the last word about some issue as equally retarded as the topic he choose to discuss, again.

Yes. I keep a roll of paper towels nearby at all times. Not just for jerking off into, but for wiping my fingers when I'm eating. I don't want grease on my keyboard.

There is probably more humor in a group of 13 year olds who are the oldest and most mature people on the planet

this is actually hilarious and i'd play this

More an autist than a schizo but any time someone is discussing mesoamerican antiquity an anon shows up with paragraphs and handmade charts to try and educate them about the reality of the settings, which is pretty cool. I like when we get autists that you can actually learn something from, nice change of pace from the babbling schizophrenic autists who shit up every thread on a certain game.

I get the functional purpose of the short nails, but wouldn't it look better for ALL of the nails to be short?
The mismatch just looks weird.

They dropped the ball and couldn't get any exhibitors, so they had a half-filled exhibition floor. With no exhibitors there's no reason for attendees to show up and with fewer attendees there's no reason for exhibitors to show up, so any drop in either is instant death for an expo.
A group I worked in used to exhibit at a few of the PAXs and every year it was harder to justify the increasing costs and annoying staff interactions, so I really can't blame them. PAX West was really the worst, the dipshits spread it across multiple buildings but required a security checkpoint at each. Well guess what, people just looked at the first building with all the biggest spenders and ignored what essentially became the cuck building because they didn't want to line up for security again. South and East had much more sane floorplans

This is cheating, but I swear I've seen ACK here before.

She wants to be asked about it, gay people have a constant desire to talk about their sex.

not a dude.
you should play armored core sometime

Whomp is back after 3 years

I figured it was dead for good this time.

No it wasn't. I think you clicked the wrong post ID, anon.

he has a point, other m is shit, and the zero suit was a mistake, zero mission sucked ass and has something worse than cutscenes: endless gamestopping dialogue segments, fuck adam

The main thing I recall from Anon Babble was moner and how the entire board lost interest when she turned 18. Funniest shit.

for me, its waiting two months for one page of words words words, then having it redacted by Anon Babble.
tastes better in retrospect than during the moment

havent seen this one in a while, good comic

I still laugh at the existence of this one because it's not actually a terrible short scifi/horror story but why the FUCK did he put it in the format of a comic

The polish waifufaggot whose name I'm not sure the filter will allow me to say who spams any thread related to Stellar Blade, AI or korean women, but mostly Stellar Blade. It's incorrect to classify him as a Anon Babble schizo as he is more of a general internet schizo given that his spam has been identified in multiple social media websites ranging from Facebook comments to LinkedIn posts, but he's particularly notorious in Anon Babble since it's where his spam goes fastest and hits hardest. His spam boils down to a bunch of nonsensical, hastily edited images that indicate all his posts are manual, and his actual motive has yet to be comprehended. He literally says nothing other than a couple stock phrases of waifufag babble, so one can only guess what goes on in his brain. Basically, the most normal man in poland.

If anyone is curious, Sinfest is STILL going in 2025 and he goes into months long stories about how much he hates Jews constantly. He also uses memes from the 2010s a lot.

Any spillovers from /utg/, but they're so unworthy of attention I am not even gonna explain them in detail.
Anyway, they all are trying to imitate the infamy of that guy who spent $2500 on Toriel scat porn trying to get Undertale banned from Anon Babble back in 2015, and is still making threads seething about the game and its creator.

ive never seen a followup comic to it

as it turns out its from a comic strip series called Multiforce

I really hope that one doesn't come back for the PC launch of SB/Nikke collab, he completely trashed every thread for it already

I don't get it.

based

Brevity is the soul of wit. All of his stories are people staring at screens of propaganda and saying "this is bad"

fruffy/fairies guy (russian schizo obsessed with cute things) and the CRPG wife spammer who keeps replying with "What!" whenever you call him out (I hate that fucking faggot so much)

challenged myself to scroll through her comics until something made me go "heh"

it happened at #8

you win this time roast leaf sandwich

This would unironically be a good ad campaign, they already have a version of this with a parody of Nsync.

I'm never going to read the whole thing no matter how many times you repost it

feminist->TERF->anti-woke->anti-Semitic->full-blown unironic Nazi

I don't know what's more bizarre - the fact that he ended where he is, or how much this whole pipeline actually makes sense.

I mean...

become anti-porn

find out where the porn is coming from

become anti-semitic

Its not as huge a leap as youd think.

Everyone capable of introspection will eventually go "what the fuck are these people asking me to believe?" and, some time later, "why do they always have funny last names?"

Dispatch a team of jannies to assassinate him.

Ah. The classic Mangione treatment. It's been proven to be very effective.

And they had to rangeban an entire country to get rid of him ell oh ell.

KEK. Which country was it? Cyprus?

He's like 55, childless, unmarried, and cannot get over the fact that he finds women attractive. He prefers to obsess over men half his age liking porn or OnlyFans. He's deeply ashamed of having sexual desire and at his age he's beyond hope

french don't count

No one said a dude writing webcomics was going to be some succesful alpha male.

Porn is bad for you and a large percentage of women being prostitutes is bad for society, him being a failure doesn't change that.

MegaTokyo, if its lucky, updates maybe a couple of times a year.

That's consistent for Megatokyo. Even back in the early 00s.

Most people get along just fine without the problems he has

Is this suppose to be a Persona reference?

But it isn't

Jerma

wait, really?

eh, it's just a repeat of what happened with chloe moretz.

I got rags and actual cloth napkins for that

This one is so outlandish, could you even imagine someone being this fucked up?

Why do women always have, or at least claim, something wrong with them?
The new meme is claiming ADHD but I guarantee 95% of the women claiming they have it don't
What I don't understand is why

I laughed

he's back to his roots

Attention.

Finally took the time to read the text after seeing this reposted here for ages, it's pretty decent but I don't like that it was just ghosts.

Aren't they gay now?

1/2

post it

2/2

And he's just got infinite fucking energy to watch the board every waking hour and start spamming terrible AI images and nonsensical puns about ice cream if someone breaks his sacred laws

Ice cream? I love ice cream!

there's literally nothing wrong with any of this
aging will probably be cured soon too, making schizoid the most powerful human personality

implying 99.9% of people will ever be given such a cure

mesoameriboo anon fucking rocks, i used to have his pastebin on Aztec Politik but those fags must have deleted it

Who's the Brie Larson spammer? Always assumed that was an advertising bot.

schizoid personality is just autism without the autism. its not schizophrenia btw despite the name. schizoids arent crazy lunatics, theyre just numb humans

Yeah, but you have to wash those eventually. I'd rather just throw them away. I use rags for cleaning my guns and gunpla.

I've only encountered the porn guy and the Gadonfag (haven't seen him in a while). Schizos like this keep the board alive with their spam though, a lot of threads would die out in a few hours without them. Dunno whether that's good or bad.

No really, this is a puzzling comic even for them. There’s just not even a dimly funny punchline here, it just sounds weird. There’s fuck happened to these guys I used to look forward to seeing their shit in EGM I think it was

Very apt for a Penny Arcade thread

they'll want you to live longer so you can become a supercomputerized soldier in case aliums visit

The doctor didn't tell me any of that shit.

They caved because of their charity. They were going to be honored for their work by some group but then they googled Penny Arcade and saw a comic full of dirty jokes. That's about the gist I remember, and when their humor took an immediate and obvious nosedive.

Looks like it was Uraguay.

Lets give it a shot.

It's literally Edge of Tomorrow all over again

Dunno if Nubi still posts but used to spam every Tekken thread with the same posts.

Check out the Famitsu threads one day, he's very much real.

start to take this test

most of the questions are asking how other people perceive you

Man how the fuck would I know. Am I just supposed to guess?

I just put in what others have said to me.

You have autism.

And they choose to do, all of this embarrassing shit for hours upon hours a day, every day? That's basically hell. Actual honest to god hell.

They deserve it.

people say things to you?

100% schizoid

Aww, sweet!

Huh.

no idea literally havent checked in years until i looked up pic related 4 da thred
figured i'd see if he was still at it
he sure is

Why is her daughter so sexy?

I usually start out a piece of cloth on my hands and then downgrade it to surface rag and then floor rag so it gets more use before a wash. As it gets more used with every wash it eventually gets permanently downgraded to rag status.
Cloth napkins are only for when I have company, same as glasses and plates.

I get just wanting to use and dispose of stuff though. My roommate in college ate exclusively with paper plates and plastic utensils so he could do exactly that, used to drive me mad thinking just how much of our trash was stuff he used once and threw away lol.

what online test is this?

These men are based beyond belief and
is eternally BTFO.

That girl is going to have it rough, being sold a lie that girls shouldn't be feminine. Wonder if it will take her being alone and eggless in her 50's that's going to make her hate her lib mom.

I remember Lanced Jack could immediately nuke a thread by simply posting in it because everyone hated him that much.

expedition 33 says more of what the game is about than 'clair obscura' which probably just means "unclear" or something dumb

I thought it was referencing how there are so many apocalypse scenarios that end up getting solved by a plucky band of barely-teens in YA novels and the like.

My dick is pretty big but I don't think I'd call it an apocalypse scenario.

The fuck happened to these guys

A couple of things:

Jerry and Mike both went on meds for anxiety + depression

They became very successful, which led to complacency and comfort (both are the death knell for humor UNLESS you are very hardworking)

They hired a bunch of fans, a few of whom were SJWs committed to MODERN IDEALS

Mike used to be an unapologetic asshole but the internet exploded when he obliquely mocked a troon in 2013

one of their fan hires ended up being a troon, which (combined with a lot of CANCEL PAX pressure) led to mike toning down on anything mildly resembling controversy

Robert Khoo left, leaving the business strategy in disarray

One of Jerry's kids has severe autism + is trans and (if his twitter is any indication) would get very upset at the problematic humor Mike would go with, further neutering the comic

Penny Arcade as a brand found some success in livestreamed D&D campaigns + relentless pandering to le reddit tabletop gamers

Now their only viable revenue streams are PAX + kickstarters for D&D streams and ironic erotic fiction

You'd think all this financial pressure would cause some good comics to come out but they're both pretty set; they got a shit ton of money back when Seattle was relatively cheap and got very settled, so they can now easily coast (while being bankrolled by PAX, which bears nearly no resemblance to the comic that inspired it)

I don't think Modern Simpsons earns its revenue by TV anymore, it's all merchandising.

Yes, but as pointed out, it's genuinely some of the most unfavorable art ever drawn. Instead of using his standard VGCats comic style, he switched to a disgust Ren & stimpy overdetailed style and added gross wrinkles and folds to all the characters, just to make sure he made as little as possible off it. Why? God only knows.

I've seen Nintendo at PAX multiple times, same with like Sega and Capcom.

I am not reading that shit, if you need to write that much then you need to stop pretending it's a fucking comic
