Randall Munroe has a lot of respect for Penny Arcade, and I just don’t get it. Any time I try to get into the comic, it’s just not funny or insightful. The only Penny Arcade strip I liked was the one about the big xbox remotes. That was funny!
I haven’t read many Penny Arcade strips, because I don’t have fun when I try to do that. So Lemmy, please help Me. Post your favourite Penny Arcade strips and explain what you like about the comic.
It feels like a product of its time. It was funny to me back in the early 2000s when it was new and webcomics were starting out. I haven’t read it in years and that’s fine.
Some aspects of pop culture aren’t timeless, but people who experienced it at the time still look back on it fondly.
