Read Penny Arcade, video game referencing webcomics
Penny Arcade is a webcomic focused on video games and video game culture, written by Jerry Holkins and illustrated by Mike Krahulik. The strip features Krahulik and Holkins' cartoon alter egos, John "Gabe" Gabriel and Tycho Brahe, respectively. Their characters spend much of the time playing and commenting on computer and video games, which forms much of the basis of the humor in the strip. As mostly a topical video gaming news comic series, there is little plot or general continuity in Penny Arcade strips, and strips are typically drawn from the perspective of fictional characters within a game or movie.

Modular Doom
Gabriel misunderstanding things is one of our most profound genres; I should make up a keyword based on this propensity and begin utilizing its subtle power.

Non-Fungible Tims
Tim Sweeney fascinates me; he is an endless source of activity and interest. He is always whipping out a tendril of some kind at this or that - he doesn't like that Steam identifies works made with AI, referring to it as a Scarlet Letter, which it is. It's whatever the opposite of an Organic sticker is. And it makes sense why he wouldn't like it - I've heard our designers talking about how AI

Imperium Maledictum
The primary way I interact with Warhammer these days is through fiction and videogames - which I'm sure works just fine for them. New versions of the flagship game, Warhammer 40,000, come out fairly frequently I would say - and with them comes a host of rule changes, changes for how armies are constructed, and changes to what your models do - up to and including exile. 11th Edition just came

Gabe is losing his shit over Adventures of Elliot, which was not a sure thing, because there are two versions of the demo and only one of them lets you continue from where you left off in the retail version. I'll leave it to you to guess which one he had, and the theft of several hours

Full Spectrum Warrior
I try to be as much of a moving target for social media algos as I can, battering it with strange data; the best guess TikTok could possibly make is that I'm an ancient moth with zymurgical inclinations who works part-time as a welder. At least, that's what I thought. Somewhere in that hostile nonsense it managed to constellate a route from point A to point B and put my whole deal into stark

Apple TV is fascinating. It doesn't have a super deep roster, but it has a weirdly high ratio of absolutely must watch shit. I got some free Apple TV when I got an iPad a few Christmases ago, and ended up hooked on For All Mankind - then let it lapse, and now my three favorite shows are all from there. It goes Severance, Pluribus, and now

Dark Arisen
It's very textbook stuff; now that the game festivals are over, now that the charm offensive has been executed more or less flawlessly and there's no more juice to squeeze from it, it's time to produce an incredibly large cartoon knife from nowhere and move to the next phase.

We had an opportunity to dip back into the List of the Forgotten, as we had already detailed the perfidy of Niantic Spatial in full. The current list is constantly being added to, and so release from this obligation may never truly arrive.
