Destiny 2 has always had great lore. While the game’s main plot lines sometimes fall short, the stories and bits of worldbuilding we get from equipment are always fascinating. Tying this...
Of all of the various epithets hurled around by right-wing internet users, “NPC” is the least immediately obvious in its meaning. “Cuck” is pretty straightforward, as is “SJW.” But what does it mean t...
Until recently, Soldier: 76 wasn’t actually a soldier. Not like the ones we’d find in our world. He was another cartoonish character in the futuristic world of Overwatch.
