Oh, they're totally leftist faggots ... listen to their shit with that other Wizards of the Coast faggot Chris Perkins doing their D&D 5th Soy Edition Acquisitions Inc. or the "C-Team" spinoff.
C-Team makes me irrationally angry. Tycho, Straub, and Hartman are a dream team of TT comedy, but those tranny harpies are intolerable.
Straub's fall from sanity is more heartbreaking than PA's, I think.
Oh no. I looked away from the trainwreck too soon. I loved Chainsawsuit, Blamimations, and the Kris and Scot show. Then the latter two went away and he started dumping retarded shit on Chainsawsuit, so I just drifted away. But it's worse than that, isn't it? I haven't seen any of C-Team or that stuff.
PvP got bad, too, not in a political way, it just wasn't good at all anymore. I still catch up on PA regularly, but this comic just made me sigh in disappointment.
Straub went crazy back during GG. He made a couple anti-GG comics on CSS that you'll still find in circulation today. PA drifted away from Kurtz over the rights to AI, but I think Straub ditched him because PvP was 'problematic' somehow. I don't know the details, I didn't follow K+S as closely.
Unlike the others, Straub wasn't always an arty-farty. He has an engineering background. That's why him snapping first stings. I had hoped the trained analytic mind would put up resistance. Him going first just meant the others were a matter of time.
Yeah, GG was the tipping point where I got the bad vibes from Straub.
That transition was so weird. In 2011, PA, gamers, nerds, my coworkers, basically everyone would be "Team Dickwolf" when it came to that kind of issue. Then by the time GamerGate happened, they all became SJWs without even noticing they had changed. I swear to god, in 2012-2013, they put something in the water supply that messed with people's minds. The change was so fundamental and so swift.
Anyways, it's nice to reminisce about old times. I liked the Penny Arcade circle and web comics as a whole. But social media changed that landscape too much, I think.
