I don't think my tastes have changed, since I still enjoy the strips that I found great then. Maybe his humor is changing or (likely) he's got quite a bit of anguishes now that don't precisely help him to be more focused and creative.<br /><br />So, Anonymous 11:25 (the one just above me unless somebody steps in before I finish writing), I agree with the stuff you say about nerd culture. But, don't you think that there is something "infantile, obtuse, and highly overrated" in this blog as well? Namely, the insults, the way the commenters here fantasize about "Randy" doing this and that so they can criticize him and (most of all) the personal attacks (including an obsession with Megan's milk).<br /><br />I understand your reasons for disliking xkcd (I sometimes do as well) but sometimes people here are far worse than what they criticize.Amazed at things younoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-44819913528803327742011-12-03T11:25:14.229-08:002011-12-03T11:25:14.229-08:0011:05, I go to Carnegie Mellon, also one of the mo...11:05, I go to Carnegie Mellon, also one of the most difficult universities in the northeast. But, so fucking what? Do you think that because you go to a good school, that makes you an expert on what's funny and what's good art? People adore XKCD here too. Socially retarded nerds everywhere enjoy XKCD, it's a fact of life. They put it on their goddamn t-shirts, they post quotes of it on their facebook statuses, they even (very annoyingly) quote it in conversation.<br /><br />I loathe the moment when I'm talking to someone, and they're like "Oh, that reminds me of that XKCD where Randall mentioned this topic in passing." It's like XKCD fans have become one hive mind filled with semi-retarded memes, lame humor, and bad drawings.<br /><br />Nerd "culture" is infantile, obtuse, and highly overrated, and XKCD is a perfect example of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-37959444631290626802011-12-03T09:56:54.572-08:002011-12-03T09:56:54.572-08:00Oh wow, NOW it sounds like an amazing and well tho...Oh wow, NOW it sounds like an amazing and well thought argument!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-23987277335985400812011-12-02T16:49:16.049-08:002011-12-02T16:49:16.049-08:00""you cannot like something because you ...""you cannot like something because you like it; one needs a reason. the reason you like this comic is because you are dumb as shit.""<br /><br />actually, the whole exchange went like this:<br /><br />gamer: I liked this one.<br />me: that is because you are dumb as shit.<br />gamer: no, it is because I liked it.<br />me: you can't like something because you like it etcrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15828938843801425383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-2524601991571589282011-12-02T10:23:30.818-08:002011-12-02T10:23:30.818-08:00Anonymous Nov 30, 11:05, don't take these pers...Anonymous Nov 30, 11:05, don't take these persons here too seriously.<br /><br />To give you just two beautiful examples of what Rob is capable to write, when someone mentioned that the comic he criticized was in fact good, he said:<br /><br />"you cannot like something because you like it; one needs a reason. the reason you like this comic is because you are dumb as shit."<br /><br />And, when somebody asked him if he had something personal against Randall Munroe, he said:<br /><br />"he raped my daughter"<br /><br />So... keep on coming here to question this people but don't have many hopes of making them change their childish behavior, this is mostly a place to throw shit at xkcd and people who likes it. <br /><br />I must also say, I find it weird the relation you're trying to establish between "people who creates useful products" and "people who likes xkcd"... I don't quite buy it and besides, that's not even the point. If Rob here was the head of your "department-for-development-of-great-products", his reviews would still be, as you put it, profanity-filled and mediocre.<br /><br />Again, keep on coming here, but don't put too much into it, you won't find answers much more valid than "so i take it you didn't do very well in your english classes"<br /><br />-------<br />A.

Poking fun at his wife's breast cancer? You can't get much lower.<br /><br />Also, some of these complaints are just hollow. Either the people who posted really believe they know what they're talking about, or they're trolls think their humor is worth something. In any case, it comes from people who probably won't do anything significant with their lives.<br /><br />For whoever this Rob person is who posts these rants, I'm guessing you haven't really learned much past the high school level. The only validation behind your "festering shit pile" posts that I can come up with is that you somehow get paid for your blogging, whether it be through how many people view it or what have you. If not, than I'm guessing your just another crude and useless writer on the internet who thinks shouting out in the dark to anyone who will listen is worth something. Even your comment of "I am utterly incapable of producing anything creative at all. This is why I criticize things!" and the extrapolation you made to other critics reeks of a deluded sense of a belief that your opinion is right above all else. But again, there's plenty of you on the net.<br /><br />As for who I am, I'm an engineering student at a polytechnic university. Everyone here who's heard of xkcd loves the comic, and the majority have. Our school is one of the most difficult in the northeast, so I can assure that in the thousands of us, we aren't all quite as stupid as you claim the fans of xkcd to be.We're the ones who will be making your medicine, your electronics, your homes in the future. True, the art of the comic isn't quite as good as most, that's obvious. But we all can relate to the content cause we've worked for knowledge and a way to give back meaningfully to the world.<br /><br />So, you all can go about your profanity-filled, mediocre critiques. In the mean time, the people who xkcd has an influence on will work on how actually make something of themselves.<br /><br />Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-3149907963377418322011-11-29T08:11:13.504-08:002011-11-29T08:11:13.504-08:00yes Dicksmash but a/ the drawings have been the sa...yes Dicksmash but a/ the drawings have been the same since 2006 which was long before her diagnosis and b/ he is remembering college which was also long before her diagnosis. so ner.<br /><br />I used to think there was some skill in the drawings - occasionally there'd be a really expressive line or two.
