Saw this mini-oven without my glasses on and genuinely thought the food was trying to communicate with an RPG dialogue box.

An over with a rounded black and white display followed with a blurred version to demonstrate my piss-poor eyesight.

Goddamn it, YouTube. I saw "5m" and thought "A teaser?! From five minutes ago?!" No, 5m as in five million views when I was able to zoom out for a hot second just enough to see it was uploaded 9 months ago...

Hollow Knight Silksong's Sea of Sorrow teaser thumbnail from Team Cherry, regrettably uploaded 9 months ago, but my brain farted and I thought the 5m was "five minutes" and not "five million".

King of the Hill is Texan anime.

A fake screenshot of Dale using "Pocket Sand!" in King of the Hill, with deliberately obtuse Japanese translation attributing the move to Garaa from Naruto, while calling the technique "Pocket Dust".

I'll never forget the Underworld PS2 game that explains that a flamethrower can, in fact, set enemies on fire.

A "Game Tip" from Underworld: The Eternal War on PS2.
"Keeping an enemy in the flame-thrower flames for a second or two, sets them on fire."

2000 AD publishing a Silent Hill comic may cause some confusion, so lets clear it up. To the left is Judge Dredd. To the right is a dread judge.

Red Pyramid Thing, also known as Pyramid Head, known for his judgment of guilty souls.

I'm eternally reminded of the Kate Beaton comic whenever I try to say "Ys". (Image credit to Kate Beaton and Hark, a Vagrant. I would usually provide a link, but I get a security error.)

A zoomed out shot of a bird next to a lady on a bench throwing bread crumbs with bare trees in the background. The bird says "Aw yiss".
A close up shows the bird with the bread crumbs flying towards them "Motha" "Fuckin" "Breadcrumbs".

Don't give ducks or birds bread, give them veggies and frozen peas during the summer.

With a clever bit of editing, you can uncrop the image and reveal option C which is slightly above the other two cartridges and still has its data in the... ...What in the goddamn

Barleybap's image of her two identical Ooze cartridges, but with two more edited on top... No, I didn't use Al, I simply smudged the blanket upwards to give the illusion of a continuous image, then edited in an image from a product listing. No Al was used in this shitpost, at all.

(In Under the Skin, there's a Raccoon City stage where you play as Jill Valentine fleeing from Nemesis. Jill has a special costume that makes her look like Regina from Dino Crisis. Don't @ me.)

Finally, the potential to return a beloved heroine from the depths of Capcom's library back into a forefront. Yeah, you know who I'm talking about, a character that sometimes has red hair with black special ops clothing, fends off relentless hordes of attackers... ...Welcome back, Under the Skin!

It's 2003, this is playing on the TV with the quiet hum of a PlayStation 2, and all is right with the world as you occasionally doze off.

The Irritator (yes, really), the name comes from the irritation felt by paleontologists who kept encountering modified and damaged versions of its skull. But aside from its name being somewhat amusing, it had a long snout for catching fish, so it looked like a bulked up alligator.

The "irritator", a dinosaur with a long tail, short arms and a bulky body, but also has a prominent snout.

Fight Stickos Super Turbo Championship Edition

The Sickos Guy, but he's dressed as Ryu from Street Fighter at the window with "Fight Stickos" on his headband. Instead of "Yes, Ha Ha Ha, YES!" He's referencing the input for Shoryuken, Taunt Taunt Taunt, Shoryuken.

Shoryuken sounds like "Sure you can" or "Yes".
A taunt is laughing at your opponent.
That's the joke.

Gotta say, I hate it when someone bothers me for a fogger at a bus stop when I don't fog. :\

A "fogger" a "device that emits smoke" but is morally safe rather than those devil-sticks known as cigarettes.
