    My first thought: Those are some nifty shoulderpads Gabe has picked up.

    This is pretty much perfect. All he needed was to add Gaben and mention how he doesn't believe in God in the comments, and he'll be golden.

    Is the fact that he's making a text ('self') post intentional? I'm going to go with yes. In that case: well done sir. Upboats.

    My life has been much improved by blocking reddit at the hosts level. There was a time I'd read rage comics for a half hour before going to bed.

  • Skull2185Skull2185 Registered User regular
    Hah, Gabe's got the Reddit formula down! Just talk about your "girlfriend" and anything "she" made, did or said. Bonus points karma if you do a google image search and post a picture of a lady.

    My cousin introduced me to Reddit with rage comics. They used to be great... now they're just awful. I also used to browse r/gaming during my lunch break. There's still some funny or interesting game related stuff there sometimes, but it's mostly devolved into super annoying PC nerds, Notch and Gaben circlejerks and assholes proudly explaining why they steal games.

    A few days ago when he was doing his Surface Pro writeup Gabe said on his Twitter he finally felt he had something worthy of posting on Reddit or something like that.

    I was like, You are waaaaaaaayyyyy overestimating Reddit, my friend.

  • Skull2185Skull2185 Registered User regular
    That baby sloth Tycho is holding is great, though.

    Also, there are some nice subreddits. The "porn" ones like Foodporn or Natureporn are fun to look at. Then there are the deepest darkest corners of that place that I don't even want to mention for fear of leading somebody who doesn't know to them...

    Notice nobody talks about 4chan anymore?

    Reddit is the new 4chan, but without 4chan's self-awareness about its own wretchedness.

    The baby sloth is the best thing about this comic. Adorable! Now I want one...

    I have tried to navigate through the channels of reddit, but got lost in the murky waters...or some such thing. I don't find it particular useful or fun.

    4chan never bothered me, incidentally. I always thought people were overreacting when something would come out of there (be it a meme or image link) and be all UGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH and it's like, uh, really?

    But Reddit, man, people are actually criminal on that fucking website.

    Woah, what is up with the sloth? First new PA character in ages. We need sloth's origin story!

    Yes, I expect I'll recieve an e-mail any day now from Gabe and Tycho begging me to work with them as a new character consultant.

    This is the third time in two weeks I've had to come to the forum for an explanation of the comic. This has never happened before. I would wonder if this is just me getting old, but Gabe and Tycho are older than I am.

    Ive tried multiple times to surf Reddit and the site is just a freaking mess. I for the life of me do not understand the attraction. I prefer Reddit-lite (Fark.com)

    Can someone please explain to me what AMA stands for? This is the second time they mention in their news posts that Mike "did his AMA" and I have no idea what it means. The obligatory disambiguation page on Wikipedia lists a bunch of definitions and I can't find any that seems appropriate to the context.

  • KalTorakKalTorak One way or another, they all end up in the Undercity.Registered User regular
    AMA = "Ask Me Anything"

    It's when a person of note starts a thread on Reddit, people in the comment section ask them questions, and the person answers the questions.

    I feel like people still talk about 4chan all the time. Or at least reference it. Those green text images seem very 4-chan-esque. . .. . .

    Also the comic needs more mention of how natural it is from an evolutionary perspective to control tablets with your breasts

    Baby Sloths? I don't know... But that art at the bottom of the main page has video games, a cute girl, and a cat. That's likely to get you Reddit front page if you so desire it.

    Baby sloths are cute as all hell you don't even know.

    I think maybe you never knew much about 4chan, if you never heard of or saw anything illegal there.

    Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "criminal."

    Most of Reddit's memes were stolen from 4chan or Something Awful.

    I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.

    The real problem with this comic is that he is talking about getting karma while making a text-only post.

    That can't possibly be a real earth creature. That is some sort of space alien or a toy that came to life or something.

    Sloths are probably space monkeys from mars that got transplanted here when our ancestors came over yeah. That and the platypus.

    Man that baby sloth needs to burp Tycho.

    Stop talking to Gabe and pat that sucker's back.

  • Faceless CowardFaceless Coward Registered User regular
    Oh God, knowing Tycho and his fondness for animals where is the clone made from the DNA of Alex Paen/Chris Hansen when you need him. Get that sloth away from him.
