[@jarretttucker5031]

Still better than Tekashi.

[@sourwitch2340]

@@drizztdourden666 I assume you're either a troll or sarcastic but masterpiece in the above context is a hyperbole for "very good, and meaningful to many". It doesn't match the literal meaning of masterpiece because it's not literal.

My favorite niche easter egg is in Deus Ex: Human Revolution where you find an e-mail at Rifleman Bank Station that references a joke from MASH about requisitioning a pizza oven by just crossing out "machine gun" on a form and writing in "pizza oven."

Another favorite of mine is from The Stanley Parable. During one of the ads for the game, a person going by the name Raphael criticized the demo, saying that it's all preplanned, has no soul and that it says Stanley's name too much, all in the most pompous and self-absorbed way possible. Not only does Kevan Brighting as the Narrator scathingly mock him in the ad, if you open up the console commands and type in Raphael in the main game, the Narrator does nothing but say Stanley in every overdramatic way possible.

[@left8277]

My favourite niche easter egg is developers giving an NPC the name of a reviewer that gave them a bad review, and the only item in the NPC's inventory being hemorrhoid cream. I haven't been able to track this down since, but I think the game was Watchdogs 2, and I found out about this in an E3 stream. Can anyone else corroborate this or is it just in my head?

[@borttorbbq2556]

I think they did one on this channel not sure

[@JoriDiculous]

Ubi-games tend to do this, especially in the Far cry and watchdogs games. FC5 got several stings to critics, devs etc.

[@Z2Wolf]

But why does the reviewer have the hemorrhoid cream when the developers were clearly the ones butthurt by the exchange 🤔

[@flabwaan]

@@Z2Wolf very witty

[@Alsebra]

The only one I can currently access is Scorpia. She was a game reviewer that wrote up a rather scathing piece against Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World; in exchange, the game designer popped her (or, in actuality, a creature named after her, as nobody knew what she looked like) into Might and Magic III.

[@DreadWulfie]

Octavian's house in ACNH is full of space stuff and in the middle is that same space ship and the alien comes out from time to time. He's basically harboring it and sometimes also tries to deny the existence of aliens in a letter he's written to you (can't remember if he also does this while talking to him).

[@musicsinger365]

I just recruited him to my island! 😲 I gotta check it out!

[@dominateeye]

The existence of sentient animals and non-sentient animals existing in the same world can always be explained by the existence in our real world of apes and humans at the same time. There are similarities, sometimes strikingly so, and an alien species might think us to be the same things. Both evolved from a common ancestor, but we evolved sentience, while apes did not. As for sentient animals consuming non-sentient animals, there are several parts of the world where apes and other primates are a common food source. It's really not that weird if you think about it. No, YOU'VE thought too much about this.
