just imagine if nintendo pulled the every-nes-game-list thing again in 30/40 years for a switch nostalgia project.

Infobox image choices from foreign Wikipedias that can only use creative commons images are iconic
I never bothered to look into the Beer Lore until reading New Norm memes (I am not an alcoholic, the only Beer Lore I know is all the thinly vieled attempts at marketing to kids and Stella whatever trying to remove a Wikipedia page calling them "wife beater beer"), and only just now have I found out thatTM is actually called "Coors" and not "Cools" with a poor typeface that looks like "Coors".
yooo guys new contrarian side-over-protag idea just dropped
How the hell did the Game Boy Camera garner a reputation as "creepy"? Like, I really don't get it. I was a timid kid, bought a GB Camera without context of its reputation, WAYRF only made jump a little and then I was immediately trying to get it again because it was funny, and that's basically the only thing that could be considered even slightly unsettling in the entire software - a jumpscare, a party trick. Otherwise it's more like a non-game WarioWare precursor. The very vast majority of it looks like this:
the title to q*bert 3 is the most garishly 90s thing ive ever seen, and that's saying a lot
new time-perception-crushing video game fact discovered: adventure (1980) and adventure ii (officially authorised in 2005) is only the 5th longest sequel gap in gaming.
I'm not Japanese so I wouldn't know, but I can't help but think that the Emio teaser being for Famicom Detective Club probably wasn't that out-of-left-field to the Japan audience. If Nintendo released a cryptic video of a tank, we as Westerners probably wouldn't be too surprised if it turned out to be Advance Wars instead of a Nintendo take on COD.
The Deadpool movie merchandise is trying too hard.
went on the crossover wiki and am now cursed with the knowledge that there exists an official fnaf/chuck e cheese crossover and its a shrek parody; and also that spyro and deadpool have crossed over with jeffy jeffy in an offical capacity.
Youtooz Promotional Art
Occasionally, the Youtooz company will post promotional art featuring characters they've been licensed to make figures for, multiple of which are from fictional series. This is a list of all of their promotional art that features licensed characters. 202279 July 9, 2022 Description: 1 year ago...fictionalcrossover.fandom.com
THE MODERN ATARI STARTED AS A DIVISION OF THE GOODTIMES MOCKBUSTER COMPANY????
Since I was talking about green furry characters in Fortnite yesterday, it is genuinely baffling to me that Jazz Jackrabbit still isn't in Fortnite as a skin. It's not the most recognisable IP, but it also probably wouldn't cost a cent to use and fits perfectly with both Fortnite's sci-fi lasers theme and its heavy amount of anthro characters.
It's weird how people talk about multiplayer games that aren't the Current Hot Thing in past tense as if they just... randomly disappeared or something.
I used to really hate baby clones, but I now I think they're funny - how can you hate a face like this?
I'm the new Norm! I want weird beer!
The reason why Goldeen appears in Smash instead of Magikarp is because both of the edgy Smash story modes would not have any conflict whatsoever if Magikarp existed in the Smash universe. All 3 eldritch abominations would be dead by the time Cranky Kong was born with even one Magikarp around, let alone a whole species.
paused the simpsons arcade game c64 video at the wrong time and saw a pibby glitch

I just spent... about half a minute... convinced I was insane because I couldn't find proof that a Grinch Fortnite collab I vividly remembered happening ever happened.
Turns out it was actually Jack Skellington.
If Sakurai was based and added this guy to Smash (or if they made any other appearance in a Nintendo game), their in-game name should be "Who Are You Running From?" because, let's be frank, if anyone was to have an ominous, 6-syllable question as their legal first name, it'd be them.
I think it is partially true that Smash fans live in a bubble, but I also think it's just as true that Smash fans have an irrational fear of being seen as "biased" so they create weird unnecessary excuses to make their opinions look objective, and that's how you get ridiculous takes like "Geno is more important than Waluigi" or "Pac-Man World 2 is the most iconic Pac-Man game"
Like most things with Smash fandom, this is a pretty clear symptom of how Smash treats itself with seriousness, and makes roster decisions based on objective factors like sales; fan demand; recency; importance in their source game; e.t.c. instead of dev opinions.
Everybody talks about how much they love shiny metal cartoon eyelids, and with good reason, but where's the love for used cigarette butt hats?
I don't get why the Smash Wiki calls franchises "universes" - I don't come to the Smash Wiki for immersion, god damn it!
I think that people who say "every character is someone's favourite! <3", from my personal experience, have always been the most stubbornly against character ideas that are against-the-grain.
Let's be frank, that phrase isn't usually used as a statement to say that all character picks are valid or what have you, it's just moralising that is basically only used in the context of character cuts, which, considering development issues, are more moral than bringing back every character every time.

I have been introduced to the wonderful gaming term "Poverty Fighter", I wish I could use that term but I'm a platfighter player and our big dog kinda is the poverty fighter of the genre lmao.
I completely unironically believe this is the best Mario character design
The "guy yelling Among Us" thing is really funny, because it's both very reaffirming and very frightening to know that something can be as ubiquitous and as enigmatic in origin as the "Cool S" in the modern internet age
iron giant: "i am not a gun"
e.t.:
I will never understand why fighting game fans get so upset at the prospect of playing as a character for functionality and not the actual character. Like, creative decisions being influenced by such a mentality I kinda get being upset at, but strongly disagree, but being upset at an individual player?? Where's the logic in that?
i can't believe my uhhh actually got uhh actuallied
These are the worst examples you could possibly give.
I've been submitting a lot of games to IGDB lately, usually I've been lazing out on the box arts, just taking a screenshot of a title screen or using a YouTube thumbnail and calling it a day (most of these submissions are of fangames, ROM hacks, flash games, bootlegs, e.t.c. - stuff that typically goes without box art - since those are the only games not on there already) - but I felt like making a custom poster for one specific submission (probably the one game I was most surprised by the absence of given its infamy) and I think I've created a poster that goes very hard. Jurassic Park/Mortal Kombat vibes.
Nintendo's retro game preservation is a really weird Russian roulette of just how much they devote. Like, obviously, all of Nintendo's emulation bases have been historically worse both in features and performance than emulator offerings at the time, that's no surprise, but on a game-to-game basis, you're dice rolling between A. perfect digital replications of Blockbuster Pokemon Snap and StarTropics water paper, and complete E-Reader level sets for SMB3 Advance; or B. Mario Tennis with half of the characters unavaliable; Super Game Boy-coloured games in strictly monochrome; and an entirely rental-driven Pokemon Stadium meta.
If anything has the right to do evil Mickey/Pooh (in the sense of "would it be a good idea", not legally), it is Shrek 5.

the rating board says emio has suicide themes.
oh no, we all know how smash fans are about... that.
im watching the cancelled n64dd games dykg video, and the part where they cut to kimba saying "you must eat me" felt like an mcu reveal but like, it's the... misconception-busting-video-essay cinematic universe -
