Given the length of the hiatus between issues 6 and 7, I have to wonder whether "actually, there was never a secret plan, the violence was pointless from start to finish and you never get to find out why" was the plan all along, or whether they literally just couldn't think of anything that would live up to the hype.

Nier Automata kinda does this! Each weapon has a 4 part short story that unlocks when you upgrade it. Its a really nice touch in an already amazing game.

A Dark Souls-like game where the lore for a weapon gets less vague the more you upgrade it. Broken Blade: A brittle sword. You can’t seem to let it go. Unpolished Blade: A cherished weapon from ages past. Polished Blade: You remember something. Bride’s Blade: Your wife’s sword.

The final TF2 comic has got to be the epitome of making lemonade out of lemons. It's pretty much just saying "Yeah, things got messed up somewhere along the way and we didn't get to do everything we wanted to do with this, but y'know what? We still had a good time.". It's blatantly not everything that the writers and devs were building to or that fans were expecting, very clearly a truncated/modified version of their plans. But it does the absolute best that it can with what it has to tie off every loose-end and say every goodbye. And in the process it reframes the entire lore of TF2 as not just a comedy but also a reminder that the change of life is good and it's better to embrace that than to waste yourself by clinging to the bad things that happened in the past just because they're familiar. It's closure, for Valve and for their community, and a reminder that's plenty more life to live in the future, and that's what really matters. As perfect of an ending as could be achieved after so long and with so little space.

Can't wait to see what comes next from Valve, whether it's just their new game Deadlock, an ending for Half Life/Portal next, or something entirely else. If it's even half as good as this, it'll still show why Valve tends to blow so many other video game companies out of the water.

Ok 1st degree murder with terroristic intent sure but yeah that is how the general public is going to read it. Ew.

luigi mangione, the SUSPECTED (innocent until proven guilty) united healthcare shooter, has been charged with terrorism. that’s right. a man who supposedly shot ONE SINGLE PERSON is being charged with terrorism. because in america, billionaires lives matter enough that a SINGLE rich man’s death is considered a terrorist act against this country. think about that.
