Today's Penny Arcade is a near perfect commentary on the Unity debacle.

Whole comic linked above, but here's the one-panel that is perfect.

Oh yikes. I mean I agree that the first panel is solid but the other two reminded me why I stopped reading PA. So often the "punch line" is just edgelord violence or insults.

Reminds me of the Hbomberguy video that really dissects "gamer comics".

To be fair, that's not all the strips. That's the one the OP chose to show.

Like I'd say going through 20-30 strips only 2-3 were like that.

edit: here's a strip that I thought was pretty decent but isn't like the one in the OP

Well that one made me snicker lol. Maybe I am being too harsh. Idk, I used to read PA daily when I was in high school but at this point a few decades later, it's just something that I've grown out of so it seems pretty juvenile in retrospect.

This might be more of a "me" thing instead of "penny arcade" thing. 🤷

I found Jerry's writing to be exactly as it was. I no longer have a taste for it.
