2651 It's hard to be as smart as Randall, because you become aware of so many conflicting threats and demands you have to keep in bala...
There's simultaneously a lot and absolutely nothing going on with that strip. I'm not sure I understand it, and I'm also fairly sure that there's nothing TO understand.
ReplyDeleteWas kind of hoping that the list was going to turn into a palindrome (e.g. A man, a plan, a canal, Panama) but guess it was too much effort.
ReplyDeleteOh goddammit! I've been away from this comic and hating on this comic for years! YEARS! And this is the kind of schlock I come back to? Randall's dumbass comic hasn't even broached my purview with endless "hur ... hur ... relevant xkcd ..." Then this shit stain goes on a book tour. He writes fairly decent long form, nothing that really gets my blood boiling or anything, and my stupid ass, dumb ass, giant ass, fuck ass self can't help but click around on whatever hate blog might still be updating and this is the comic I see.
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE WELL PAST HAVING GOOD IDEAS THREE TIMES A WEEK! STOP UPDATING YOUR COMIC, ASSHOLE!
I don't run into it nearly as much from more than a decade ago now. Maybe my younger just out of college co-workers are busy FaceTweeting their latest InstaSnap about their favorite VimeoTwitchTuber to give a shit about web-comics anymore. Maybe the industry has matured. Fuck! God knows I haven't. But this "comic" is TERRIBLE!
What could you even imagine the rules of this gameshow to be? How the fuck did someone turn a parlor game meant as an ice breaker to be competitive? How could half of those things even be useful in any kind of clever world hacking? None of this matters, the crux of the joke is a non-sequitur list as a means of trolling. Hardy, har har. Fucking stop already and keep writing your Q&A books so you don't have to come up with content, you can just filter the ideas FREELY GIVEN TO YOU, plug and play with the numbers and equations, and write your smarmy naraitive. This will make you your money, and i never have to see your newest drivel plastered on a pin board ever again.
