There was some Discourse about them, so I did my yearly routine of randomly going through their comics to try to find a funny one. Not a single one in like half an hour. At best they felt like jokes I would politely smile at if someone told them in a conversation. Are Gamers just so lonely that they think that is worth reading the comic for? I genuinely do not get it.
Also, I challenge you to find a funny comic from them.
No see it's because they do a video game reference. Get it it's a reference to a popular media product. They refer to a video game that has mass appeal. You look at this and see that it's a reference, and you go "Aha, I understand that reference to mass media". They find a lowest common denominator and make reference to it.
Legitimately though, g*/mers are thoroughly uncritical of their media consumption and seem to only be able to read the text at its most aesthetically literal with no further analysis. A video game comic needs zero actual good writing when the g*/mer brain will award dopamine just for the name drop of something familiar.
