hey chatbot make me a comic whose sole purpose is to enduce rage
And with as much discriminatory elements as possible and with references to the chad/virgin meme
as much discriminatory elements as possible
Alright fine, this one worked, I’m taking the bait. Is this just “they targeted gamers. GAMERS.” or are you actually seeing discrimination in this comic?
Now THIS is bait. Discrimination is more than just racism and sexism you you? I assume you don’t based on this comment tho.
I didn’t mean any kind of “bait”, but anyway, I say elements as in different things portraying the gamer in a bad way, like the neck curvature, bing fat, the face, his room, the contrast with the chad-like character
As a Gamer-American myself, let me assure you, Dilberg is in no way meant to be representative of our people writ large.
wow someone hates gamers
Who? Where? Let’s get him!
I think maybe it’d help if the guy didn’t live 40 miles away from work. I’m not at all getting enough relaxation time but still, living a <10min bike ride from my office means I can sneak in some quick gaming on my lunch breaks if I wanted
Also I have no idea whether this comic is progressive or conservative…
Commuting isn’t necessarily a choice, given housing prices or changes in career and such making it hard to live where you work. 30 year fixed mortgage in a bad economy means you ain’t moving anytime soon. I’ll never understand people who choose to live out in suburbia, though.
That said, this dude needs a steam deck. Lol
Fair point yeah. I’m admittedly lucky with my office being so close but if I actually wanted to own my own property (I’m renting right now) I’d have to move way out to a neighbouring town which would put me at a similar commuting distance
The irony is we bought this place in a so so urban area but close to my wife’s work and only moderately far from mine. She then got an offer from a place near a suburb for a lot more so she commutes from the city to a suburb, all while interest rates spiked. Lol
It’s still worth it because rent also spiked, though. Our system sucks, although 30 year fixed mortgages aren’t common in other parts of the world and variable rates would be more flexible but also probably price us out of our home.

Neither, it’s just cynical. Signs in the background suggest the artist may be progressive (or at least supports unions), but the message of this particular comic is an exclusively cynical one.

It’s a comic.
Yes, thank you I did notice that.
The comment I was trying to make is that it feels like the comic is trying to make a point of something but I can’t tell if it’s pro-<thing> or anti-<thing>. As in, the depiction of the vidyagam obsessed guy is derogatory and the depiction of the chad-looking guy makes it seem like wanting time for relaxation is a self-failing and that you should aspire to be like the trad family man. All of the things the comic brings up though like the wage-slaving manager, excessive commute, etc are things that are real societal problems and the comic doesn’t make fun of those complaints like you’d expect based on the depictions of the characters.
But I didn’t want to write all of that out because it’s a comic.
Another thing I noticed is that the character is named Dilberg. That’s awfully close to Dilbert, and combined with the office setting it feels like it has to be a reference.
I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be satire (because the Dilbert guy is a twat), an homage (because the author is a twat who likes another twat), or just a coincidence.
It’s another point where the comic seems more confusing than communicative.
What’s confusing?
There’s a guy living in wage slavery making poor life choices that he justifies to himself as he finds no joy elsewhere in life.
We sympathise with and laugh at the fool.

The tie is pure Dilbert.
because the Dilbert guy is a twat
Was a twat. He died back in January!
Yeah Scott Adams was a dumb bastard that tried to treat his prostate cancer (I think) with Ivermectin. Then tried to get actual help when it was too late.
making fun of dilbert? dint he started glazing corporations at some point,
The first guy pays for AAA games with the money from his work hours and the other guy just pirates
Our decisions impact the quality of our lives, idk how that’s rage inducing
Uhh, OK?
This place has such a weird sense of humour.
The maker of Meccha Chameleon made $40m in less than 2 weeks and I happy for him but fuuu why do all the best ideas go to other people?!
Man I feel so angry. Utterly enraged. Malding, even.
Good stuff, Dilberg is living the life.
