panel 1: a familiar scene between Biff and Marty from Back to the Future playing out. Biff says β€œSince you’re new here, I’m gonna cut you a break. Today.”

panel 2: β€œSo uh why don’t you make like a tree…”

panel 3: β€œβ€¦and bear fruit” Biff says, handing Marty an apple.

panel 4: β€œBecause you are an integral part of this ecosystem,” Biff says, giving Marty a hug.

Black and white promotional art for the strip showing Rip in various scenarios. The main image shows him holding a gun with a beautiful woman laying on the the ground next to him.

Surely locking more games behind specific hardware as the price of hardware ramps up to the moon is a good thing for the medium and will benefit developers and players alike

P1: A Corgi bounces along like a stupid idiot

P2: slams their idiot head --body-- into the ground. Smoosh.

P3: the idiot flies up into the air

P4: and keeps going, leaving even the mountains themselves behind like they're nothing. That idiot will go further than any of us, as they embrace the very heavens.

6 panel comic

P1: title panel. "Tactical Philosophical Action: STEALTH MAN SOLID"

P2: A cardboard box lies open side down, its flaps splayed on the ground before it. Through a small rectangular hole on the front-facing side of the box, a pair of eyes stare out.

A thought bubble coming from the box says "hrrrm, Am I ALIVE--"

P3: "--or am I DEAD"

P4: "I won't know 'til the guards find me"

P5: We dolly back to reveal the box is surrounded by countless other boxes, all stacked haphazardly around it

P6: Same, but now one final thought bubble comes from the box we've been following 'til now

"this may take a while"

Oh yeah, agreed. The "PC Master Race" thing is gross, and I hate seeing it still pop up (often on Steam).

Seeing people actually celebrating that Sony is going to stop releasing games on PC. It's like they're kids who don't want more people to be able to play with their toys.

Seeing people still doing console war stuff is weird. I'd understand it if they were all 12 years old, but no, you see supposed adults taking part in that shite.

There are few times I've watched the first episode of something, and gone from initially enjoying it to not wanting to watch the rest of the season.

It's annoying me that the protagonist in the first episode trusts these Libertarian-coded fellas. I'm just waiting for the inevitable heel turn.

3(?) panel comic(?)

P1 & 2: blank. Utterly blank, and drawn crudely.

Beneath them, skewed slightly more to the left is an equally crudely drawn face with huge eyes. The look on their face is unreadable, ostensibly smiling, but there is no happiness there.

P3: Dominating the lower quarter of the page, a huge version of that same face, not rendered in horrifying detail.

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]

From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes:

NEWSREADER:

Extraordinary images here 

of an expat in Dubai 

[The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly]

…Having their first ever geopolitical thought.

[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. 

CLIVE MYRIE:

To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent

DAVID JONES:

Clive, this is momentous

It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: β€˜Dubai Is Brilliant’.

[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same]

You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.

It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts.

CLIVE MYRIE:

Which are…?

DAVID JONES:

You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, 
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.

CLIVE MYRIE:

And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?

DAVID JONES:

I think we can expect to see:

β€œI Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To”

CLIVE MYRIE:

Mmm. 

[Ends]

I'm curious to see how it goes. I went into the first season thinking I'd hate it, but ended up being pleasantly surprised.

I think they really are anti-fascist, but they put zero thought into how a PFP like that will read at a glance.
