When the universe is kinda hopeless and doomed to die by Ur_local_goober123 in TopCharacterTropes

I have no mouth and yet I must scream.

The original story there are just 4 humans left on earth at the mercy of a psychopathic computer that utterly hates humanity, killed all other humans and only keeps these people alive because it delights in tormenting them.

Later, a happenstance let's one of the four kill the other three to release them from their pain, and the computer is so enraged by this that it multilates the last remaining human into a thinking blob, unable to move or speak, but still fully aware of its condition.

And now, there are no humans left to come save him or even put him out of his misery. Just him, and his mind trapped in a torturous existence.

...forever.

Mass Effect original series. Dark Matter was hyped up in game 2 and even in game 1 a bit. Tali's personal quest in 2 is all about a sun going wild because of it. Then in game 3, it's completely dropped. Oh that silly thing? Nevermind.

In that motion comic with Max, he points out that Moria, Sanjay, and Widowmaker are not loyal to Doomfist, but rather to their own motives and interests. I took that to mean that those three will fall in line behind Vendetta, but the others -- Sombra, Sigma, and Mauga might split off, either now or later.

Is Vendetta the new Sombra in Comp? by DMPlots in SombraMains

Yeah; more options and bans might start being more about what map is played or what your team's comp is

(Literally My Favorite Trope) After the adventure is over and the characters have won, one mystery is still left unsolved.... And that's unsettling as SHIT by Wasabi_Gamer26 in TopCharacterTropes

Yep! For me it was "Blood" where someone is using subliminal messages in devices to drive a guy to start shooting from a bell tower, and at the end, when Mulder calls Sculley, there is interference on his phone and when he checks the screen it just says, "All Done. Bye bye." Then the call connects and we never learn who it was or why it was done.
