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.

It is quite rare to see modern Penny Arcade not suck, normally it's about the creator's midlife crisis and how he hates Millennials for being younger than him

Which is stupid AF cause aren't Millenials the primary audience for PA comics? Why would you insult your base?

That was basically my reaction, but this is what happens when you have money, and audience, and a midlife crisis. That's where there's a period of the comics where all that happens is the characters talk about all the expensive shit they've bought lately and shit on millennials, but not in a self-aware way....

Can you post an example? I've followed it for a while and I'm honestly having a hard time thinking of a single comic like that.

I really don't want to go through the webcomics, but I do know that 2016 was an especially bad time for this

Fair I guess. I honestly just have a hard time imagining Tycho ever doing that, he's the opposite of someone who takes their success for granted.

Normally Tycho is the one going "Millenials bad" with Gabriel going "Money good"
