Bad webcomics

[Arthur Morgan]

You mean their content? I don't remember PAX going on hiatus (unless we're talking COVID)
IIRC, and again that's a toss up, that was part of the PennyArcade "premium subscription" they were offering as a proto-patreon. There were production issues with PATV filming that I don't really fucking remember, and IIRC that was around the time they were working on their Videogame.
But it AIR it boiled down to a mix of access issues/bandwidth problems - remember at the time the video codec Youtube was using hadn't entered public domain yet so videos were limited to 10 minutes due to license requirements, and no one really had viable live streaming yet.
So they spent some time trying to unfuck, streamline and work everything into the correct "Branding".

But then bcause it was Mike And Jerry who are retards, and due to Penny Arcade no longer being the "it" thing on the scene (see: retards), it all sort of fell apart.

I was specifically talking about PATV. Also, the show was on Blip initially, which didn't have the time limit and could do HD, plus they did ads for everyone who put up a video. That's why they were able to put up longer videos (By which I mean 15 minutes) when Youtube still had the time limit.

As for Mike and Jerry, part of it was that they were in the right place at the right time, but the other was that they were autists who played literally every game in existence. So when they talked about a game, they had something to say about it. Most imitators just didn't have the time, patience, or 'work ethic' to do that and just half-assed the jokes or stole them from other gaming comics. And Mike had an art style that appealed to many people, along with the know-how that when they experimented with the strip, he could whip up something pretty good.

The problem is, that's where their positives ended. When it was time to branch out, as you said, they're retards.

Jeph's descent into utter internet leftoid brainrot generator has been honestly fascinating to me. Anything interesting about his comic was scrubbed years ago, and now it's just gay androids sassily validating each other.

Don't forget the overtly sexual dialogue about lactation and feet

I wish he had stabbed his hand harder.

It would explain why he accidently nuked his own site and claims to have been hacked.

Nah, he was probably was using some widget or template from a third party provider that ceased support and he's too stupid and high to figure out a replacement. Nuking his own site takes more gumption than he's got, and a hack would have been fixed by now by his hosting service of nobody else.

Yah, when I read his post about it my brain immediately went "Wouldn't your host be able to restore the site to a previous state with backups? Or were you to cheap or lazy to set that up? Or did you actually fuck it up yourself somehow?"

TO be honest, all three are real possibilities, but my money is on him being a dipshit.

If he had, it would have caused QC to end at the tail end of its 'height' and he wouldn't have ruined his legacy with the stupid characters he inserted because he was butthurt about Alice Grove not taking off. People would have felt sorry for him and supported a new project with a new artist out of pity, and he could have moved on.

But, most likely the same shit as currently happening now would have happened.

When Something Positive went down, Randy said it was because the site owners nuked everything and now he has to upload all the old strips again, and he refuses to let anyone else do it because he's a little bitch when it comes to his website.

With Jeph, he probably assumed there was a backup when there wasn't. But I just checked and the website is back. Not to how it used to be but it looks somewhat useable if you're a fan.
