It's okay if you have any questions.


Apparently Kotaku has a Sunday comics feature, which they describe like so:

quote:

Hello! It’s time for Kotaku’s Sunday Comics, your weekly roundup of the best webcomics. The images enlarge if you click on the magnifying glass icon.
Shall we see what they consider the best this week?








In conclusion, the internet was a mistake.

PA is making the joke that these two 40 year old men are still having bad high school memories and videogames bring back their PTSD.

It maybe a joke but it's actually just sad

Goddamnit. I resisted asking but



Who is Ninja? I get from context that he is a streamer of some sort?

What is Mixer? I assume its some new streaming service?

But beyond that, the whole thing is beyond me.

C-, trying to land two different jokes, first and third panels are artistically identical, overly reliant on text in visual format. Points for competent and clear art. I'm inviting you to resubmit this MADS; you can do better.

You already have as much information as you need to understand the joke. Any more and your mind would be weighed down by information you do not need or want. I recommend going to your local library and treating your brain to some knowledge that isn't useless.

Just seen several comics reference this. Like, what's all the hubbub, bub?

Too bad I don't have children so I can't go " Oh hey, is that Pewdiepie?" to every Youtuber they watch.
Like how parents would call all consoles " The Nintendos"

You solved the mystery. I've got a big surprise for you: the joke isn't funny.

Ninja's one of the top youtubers/twitch streamers (I only know this because Jack Black refers to him a bunch in Jablinski videos), and Mixer is -- get this -- Xbox's exclusive streaming platform.

Nothing against Mixer, it's an acceptable streaming service I guess (never used it but my wife has), but lmfao at going Mixer exclusive because nobody watches Mixer

So, a potentially-funny situation, and a terrible comic

He is getting paid by Mixer. They’re throwing money at him in (what I assume are) the hopes people start using the platform and migrate.

oh no I know he's getting paid, it'd be extremley dumb otherwise.

I dunno I just kinda always feel like the MS version of things tends to be a "ooh ooh me too" thing, ever since Ballmer. My amusement comes from the idea that someone signed on for the Windows Phone of streaming platforms

You weren't supposed to explain it, but now that you have, Mixer is terrible because they literally have a dress code that only applies to women.

Well, it’s not like there’s some way for them to search for this information themselves. Until somebody invents an engine capable of such a thing, we have no choice but to put the thread on hold every time someone doesn’t get a reference.

I think a search would have worked just fine to explain this situation, but is it me, or have Google results gotten way shittier? Maybe my brains got real dumb at typing stuff into search engines, but I feel like searches don't return the thing I'm actually looking for anywhere near as often as they used to.

Try clicking the bit in the result page that says "All Results" and select "Verbatim" instead. It eliminates Google's bizarre AI hunches and guesswork.

Hmm. Interesting. At first I thought this sounded like it would be the same as typing the entire string in quotes, which I often do. Instead it seems that it's more like typing each individual word in quotes. I'll try it it, I guess. :shrug:

Do you really think the fact that the dress code is technically gender neutral means any part of it is ever intended to be applied to a cis man?
