I don’t understand Power Up comics or Gamer Dilbert and find them dumb as hell, except for the strips calling out the Power Up guy for acting like a douche.

good news! the subtext of the entire comic is calling out the Power Up guy for acting like a douche, so that's every strip

I think I heard once that Power Up was also an in-universe thing to another webcomic where the "author" and "artist" were characters in it? Kinda like SBaHJ

It's more of an in-canon cameo sort of thing than being any significant part, but yeah

A while back someone posted the main "payoff" for Power Up:

I see why this one is so easily misinterpreted, because the bottom two panels definitely do look like they're straight out of a chud strip. I had to go back and re-read the setup panels to get that it was supposed to be sympathetic to BLM.

It's sad, because I actually think it's set up really well. I appreciate that the green frog comes in being a smarmy sarcastic rear end in a top hat about the BLM sign and the purple frog is actually thoughtful and reflective. They think it's a fair question to examine even though the green frog is asking in bad faith.

One of the wonderful things about Nedroid is its relentless silly positivity. It isn't a comic about people being sad and killing themselves, it's a comic about some goofy friends doing goofy things together for fun. And yet when the PFSC person draws a Nedroid comic, they make it about Reginald being mean to Beartato because Beartato killed all his friends. It's a completely un-Nedroid premise for a Nedroid, and so it comes off as weirdly mean-spirited and out of place because Nedroid is not a mean-spirited comic. It's like the author gets some of the idea behind Nedroid (Reginald is oblivious, but also likes to do things like draw pictures to cheer up Beartato) but applies it with a tone that makes it just seem off somehow.

I disagree. I suppose it depends on how much malice you read into Reginald's dialogue but I see it as more thoughtless than mean, which is 100% in character for him. To me it has the same energy as something like this:

That's him in the Reginald costume. You probably can't tell because he's also wearing a Harrison costume.

So Reginald is making an angry face because his friend Beartato dressed up as Reginald dressed up as Harrison, thereby implying that Reginald thinks of Harrison as his best friend instead of Beartato, insulting Reginald by dismissing his obvious close friendship with Beartato?

The things that I like are good. If someone likes something I do not, and which therefore is not good, it can only be coming from a place of insincerity.

Everyone in the Land of Oz is just an incredible idiot. Absolute poo poo-for-brains morons.

quote:

"Then you shall be our interpreter," said the Scarecrow, "and explain to this Pumpkinhead all that I say, and also explain to me all that he says. Is this arrangement satisfactory?" he asked, turning toward his guest.

"Very satisfactory indeed," was the reply.

"Then ask him, to begin with," resumed the Scarecrow, turning to Jellia, "what brought him to the Emerald City"

But instead of this the girl, who had been staring at Jack, said to him:

"You are certainly a wonderful creature. Who made you?"

"A boy named Tip," answered Jack.

"What does he say?" inquired the Scarecrow. "My ears must have deceived me. What did he say?"

"He says that your Majesty's brains seem to have come loose," replied the girl, demurely.

The Scarecrow moved uneasily upon his throne, and felt of his head with his left hand.

"What a fine thing it is to understand two different languages," he said, with a perplexed sigh. "Ask him, my dear, if he has any objection to being put in jail for insulting the ruler of the Emerald City."

"I didn't insult you!" protested Jack, indignantly.

"Tut -- tut!" cautioned the Scarecrow "wait, until Jellia translates my speech. What have we got an interpreter for, if you break out in this rash way?"

"All right, I'll wait," replied the Pumpkinhead, in a surly tone -- although his face smiled as genially as ever. "Translate the speech, young woman."

"His Majesty inquires if you are hungry, said Jellia.

"Oh, not at all!" answered Jack, more pleasantly, "for it is impossible for me to eat."

"It's the same way with me," remarked the Scarecrow. "What did he say, Jellia, my dear?"

"He asked if you were aware that one of your eyes is painted larger than the other," said the girl, mischievously.

"Don't you believe her, your Majesty, cried Jack.

"Oh, I don't," answered the Scarecrow, calmly. Then, casting a sharp look at the girl, he asked:

"Are you quite certain you understand the languages of both the Gillikins and the Munchkins?"

"Quite certain, your Majesty," said Jellia Jamb, trying hard not to laugh in the face of royalty.

"Then how is it that I seem to understand them myself?" inquired the Scarecrow.

"Because they are one and the same!" declared the girl, now laughing merrily. "Does not your Majesty know that in all the land of Oz but one language is spoken?"

"Is it indeed so?" cried the Scarecrow, much relieved to hear this; "then I might easily have been my own interpreter!"
