Remember when Penny Arcade was kind of okay?

No, I never found Penis Arcade funny. I don't get the jokes, they're just a bunch of text, and I keep looking the art for some visual cues because comics are supposed to be visual medium, but there's nothing. Just two guys, saying bunch of stuff, and that's it. I don't get it.

i remember when i was young enough to think penny arcade was okay

not the only thing i turned out to be completely wrong about

I only got the jokes half the time back then. Nowadays they're alright, but don't get anything more than a smirk or a snort from me.
What I wanna know is how did they get so fucking big?
Was it just the privilege of being the first of its kind?

>>382691726
A lot of people don't have any talent. Most success stories is all about timing. Nowadays it's much harder to become big with a webcomic because everyone has a webcomic now.

I think it's an edit. I remember that comic being about final fantasy, not mega man.

>>382692795
It's not an edit, but a mistake. Jerry said as much in the news post the next day when everyone in the world told him X was a different series from Megaman (also this comic was before the release of MM9)

>>382690809
If I remembered that, I'd also remember how many years have passed since then and since the relentlessly linear march of time disturbs me, I choose not to remember

I can't see anything Witcher-related without thinking about Grim Shado and giggling like a madman.

"Lord of the God Kings" is one of my favorite names ever. It's so perfect.

It exactly in the vein of that young rangers thing they're enamored with doing every so often, only less pretentious and with more actual story. They're point isn't wrong here, though. Sanderson never seems to have met a drug fueled, trivial world building point he didn't like.

Because it was an English speaker. Why would you have someone who spoke fluent German? They were never meant to talk to anyone, the time traveler is obviously talking out loud not for the girls benefit but to try and ease his own conscious at killing a kid playing with his sister.

Honestly the real question is why not just kill him while he's not being watched by any one? Was there really a necessity to let some kid see you timewalk in and kill her brother?

It's probably not that easy to catch Adolf alone while he was young and once he gets too old it gets a bit more risky.

Ignoring all that, I don't think they really had a choice in when to pop in. It's not like we have an exhaustively detailed history of Adolf's day to day movements from the moment he was born.

>>382701802
It took a world-shaking genocide to get rid of enti-semitism. It had been the most popular ideology for centuries. Jews had always been the out-group and a country trying to cultivate ancestral pride must necessarily villify them.

>>382691372

That's enough /v/ for today.

>>382702134
It should be noted that one of the reasons it was like that was in part because the Jews always made sure to make themselves the out-group, much like Muslims or gypsies are doing now, only less violent and criminal.

>>382701802
>>382702134

A lot of people seem to have the idea that Hitler invented it. If anything it invented Hitler. And holy shit if Hitler isn't in charge you know who problem is?

There's no implication that Germany (or Austria) took that route in the comic

>>382702489
It's pretty clear from the 1935 page that the NSDP never came to power without Addie and there's at least some fomenting anti-Russian sentiment in Austria that, presumably, helps the League of Nations not be a toothless piece of shit.

At the end, it's a little four page comic that's more concerned with phoentics than alternate history verisimilitude

>all these people think Hitler was the bad guy
Jewish controlled banks were destroying the German economy through usury, and they controlled the political process through money to block any attempts to rein them in (much like modern America today). That's why Hitler and most Germans hated Jews.

You could argue that they blamed the common Jews instead of the banking bigwigs who all immediately left the country the moment Hitler got power, and you'd be right, but that's the real reason.

>>382702489
What makes you think he didn't go back in time and kill Himmler and cohorts too?

>>382691915

>>382702134
It is because a group of jews would always stick to their own kind. A lot of jews blended in and never got procecuted because nobody knew anymore that they were jewish. A lot of jews didnt know they were jewish until the nazis started using birth registers to look them up. Its mostly the orthodox jews that got fucked over constantly. And that was because they often were rich (merchants or bankers), or refused to give in demands. The problem is that some jews decided to be just dicks to everyone since they got fucked over so often, which makes people want to fuck them over again.

>>382702880
While Jewish controlled banks were a part of the problem, the main cause of Germany's economy being fucked were the sanctions put in place after WW1.

>>382698482

they went from making fun of kickstarter to having a kickstarter and shit like that, they lost all their balls when they removed the dickwolf rape strips

you'd think when something audience changes the thing would just die off but no, it stays there forever reminding us about how popularity is an actual curse rather than a blessing like the simpson

>>382703956
First of all, if you think Germany today is a 'paradise' then you are an ignorant fool. I highly suggest you actually visit there if you have the means to do so.

Secondly, those banks reinvested in order to re-create the climate they had pre-WW2, in which the banks could exploit the populace and basically print money off of them. You might notice that many of Germany's laws about banking restrictions and oversights were mysteriously repealed right after WW2 ended. Funny coincidence, that.

There's no way they're outsourcing it, they actually record their comic-making sessions and release it as a podcast.

Most PA comics don't even have jokes, at most there is some trash talk that is presumed to be "the joke" for edgy kids. Even the ones posted here were carefully selected because they almost but not quite contain a joke. I guess kind of ok fits. It is like CAD but instead of getting flack it's an "iconic strip, approved for gamerz" and it's literally ok when PA does it.

Because some people think saving millions upon millions of lives lost over a short period of time justifies altering the course of human history.

Not saying I agree or disagree, but that is the rationale. It usually is about saving those lives. Nevermind the fact anyone who has direct lineage to someone born in 1925-40 probably wouldn't be here today.

You realize that if you followed Jesus' teachings to the letter you'd be a beggar on the street who's not allowed to hit someone for stealing your only coat in winter, or even for stealing the only coat of your daughter in winter, right? Actual fundamentalist Christianity is a fucking death cult.

Perhaps the truth... is somewhere... in the middle?

No really Jesus definitely did some of that shit on the right.

Jesus came down from heaven to teach all his children how to use the power of nen. But the evil jews had already discovered the powers of nen and were using it to control the masses, so they killed Jesus before he could teach nen to the masses and put them on a level playing field with the jews. If it weren't for the jews, we would all be using nen right now. We could be converting our aura into a substance with the consistency of rubber AND glue.

It doesn't matter how many quotes you bring of the opposite, the quotes preaching tolerance and being nice still exist.
The Bible is nothing but an incoherent mass of ramblings put together, at times God is nice, and at other times he's a supreme dick.

>>382716193
I'd call it wordy rather than in-depth. And it's not particularly germane either. Jesus isn't nice. So what?

>>382716671
Old Testament God was considerably nicer than the New Testament God. At least he didn't say it was sinful to look at a woman lustfully, unlike Jesus the proto-Anita Sarkeesian.

>>382716527
Yeah, he says this to the angry mob about to stone the whore but then literally turns to the whore and tells her to stop being a fucking whore. The quote isn't a justification to just b urself.

>>382716582
You learn English, mate. There's nothing made up there, nothing wrongly attributed. If you're saying it doesn't say what it says it's saying, there's also something wrong with your ability to comprehend English. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

>>382716689
I dunno man I'm not the guy you were talking to, I just thought christians don't really follow old testament.

>>382716891
No, the quote is a justification that men have no right to throw stones and shit on others, only God has the right to pass judgement.
Which is fitting, since it's usually said in the context of religious people saying how others should live their lives, even if they're not hurting anyone.

>>382716527
About a woman who committed adultery. Nothing about fags.

>>382717103
Ah yes, because Jesus was a notoriously literal teacher, and so what that passage truly meant was "do not throw stones at this woman in particular at this time" and is therefore not really applicable to our times.

>>382717103
You can't seriously be this autistic.

>>382717021

y'know, moving away from precisely this type of worldview is why Christianity led to the best (in terms of living standards generalised across the entire population) civilisations the world has ever seen, whereas sticking to this literalist worldview is exactly why the middle east, with their "we absolutely refuse to update or change our beliefs" islam, is a massive fucking shithole of repression and stupidity.

I fully agree that the "nice jesus" isn't the one presented in the bible, but you'd have to be a goddamn (hah) moron to think that going back to those days is somehow a good idea.

>>382717378
How the fuck can you seriously infer from my posts that i'm a Christian?
The Bible is a book that taken as a whole is mostly incoherent, it has plenty of readings, which is the reason it has spawned a multitude of interpretations that have formed their own subreligion.
Saying "only my is valid and the rest are heresy" is ultimately retarded, even if we're arguing in the hypothesis that this is all actually true and God exists, his character is presented as overall too inconsistent to provide an unified, universal and unarguable form of worship.

>>382717398
>16“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked. 17“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated? 18But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man. 19For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander. 20These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”

>Tycho or Gabe initiates conversation about [game].
>They continue to stand there, shifting in position or doing something completely unrelated that doesn't play into the joke or the theme. Conversation continues, sets up final statements in panel 3.
>Tycho is silly, Gabe is possibly angry. Conversation finishes and delivers punchline. The characters do nothing but reflect the emotions you would expect from the exchange.

The idea that you could eliminate Nazi Germany by killing Hitler is a bad one anyway and predicated on the idea that Hitler was some unforeseeable black swan who bent the German people to his will and not a product of the time. If you killed Hitler you'd probably just get a Strasserite Nazi Germany instead of a Hitlerite one.

If Hitler had been assassinated at the right time, Germany might have won the war.

>38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
>39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

>41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
>42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

This is the context. Honestly I can see people being insulted by Christians turning their cheeks to them in defiance, but I really doubt Jesus is commanding his followers to be cheekily insulting here.

bullshit. while tensions were high they came from the political class and could have been de-escalated. ww2 was a grassroots war born from Germany's anger in the aftermath of ww1. ff's assassination was a literal cause to effect that could have been prevented and uncovered a drastically different historical outcome.

not saying ww1 was impossible outside of that, but you're a fucking retard if you think Hitler's opportunism is the same as the event that directly started ww1 and arguably ww2

>>382699642

the entire idea of "hey let's kill hitler" always fucking confused me because I mean, even if hitler literally never existed some other motherfucker would have done some really fucking nasty shit during WW2. It's not like Stalin, for example, wouldn't exist either. And even if you try to scrub out every single known evil dictator someone else would just take their place.

>>382721038

hitler was a cult of personality. you keep wasting the personality every 6 months it never really builds up. would it of changed everything? dunno, but hitler did certianly personally decide some things that would of altered shit. the entire v1/v2 rocket program and paris gun literally wasted millions to kill like 200 people in terror bombing and everything though it was a waste of strategic materials

Von Braun did all the groundwork on turning rocketry in to a 'wouldn't this be neat' sort of hobbyist thing and a bunch of math and theories in to a real practical technology, but the cold war would have happened without the V1, and the conditions that gave rise to the space race would still exist. Long range rockets are the obvious method for delivering nuclear warheads. They would have done it with or without german rocket research.

>>382723609
All Germany did was vow to support the Austrians. They wanted to show some strength and solidarity in a dispute with the lesser slavs, they certainly had no intention of initiating a world war that would leave the entirety of europe in ruin.
