Somehow I've trapped myself yet again on a cycle of "It's so over" and "We're so back" with my personal projects and it's getting very tiring very fast

Why does Larry have an entire Wikipedia page for himself

A screenshot from Wikipedia. In the right there is a picture of the character Larry from Pokémon. In the right there's text that reads: "Larry, known as Aoki (Japanese: アオキ) in Japan, is a character in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. Introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, he serves as both a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member in the game's setting, specializing in Normal and Flying-type Pokémon. He is designed to depict a stereotypical Japanese salaryman, and is known for his expressionless dialogue and personality. Larry is one of the strongest trainers due to his dual role as both a Gym Leader and as an Elite Four member, he simultaneously masters two separate typings in the game. In the anime, he is voiced by Kōsuke Toriumi in Japanese and by Benjamin Diskin in English, while in the Pokémon Masters EX video game he is voiced by Kenyu Horiuchi in Japanese and by Yong Yea in English. Since Larry's introduction into the series, Larry has received a highly positive critical response, being highlighted as relatable. He has also been described as a breakout character."

Thank you Mortis Ghost for giving me the opportunity to murder another ballpoint pen. Or should I say 'purify' really.

Goddammit dude

A screenshot of the game Frostpunk. The text on the screen reads: "1 of our people died! 1 died from lack of treatment: Sir Hunger-Stills (Engineer)"

Huge fan of this one panel in Naked And The Dead
Look at him

A screenshot of the Team Fortress 2 comics showing the Demoman sitting down with his hands on his knees and pouting. He looks very funny.

Sir Hunger-Stills is the man from my Frostpunk playthrough that insists on continuing to build the Wall Drill even though it's been finished weeks ago. He stays out all night starving until he gets gravely sick and then comes back the next morning. I do not know what to do with him.

A screenshot from the game Frostpunk. The information of a highlighted NPC appears on the right of the screen. His Name appears as 'Sir Hunger-Stills', his Biggest Concern is 'Hunger', and his Current Activity reads: 'Going to treatment'. The NPC is standing below a finished Wall Drill, seemingly still building.

The remake of the OFF soundtrack seems like Toby Fox's own "Lin Manuel Miranda in Disney" moment to me. I've never seen people turn on a guy to fast and yet I'm also not really that surprised.
