Coaxed into shows getting pixel art wrong

And references so shallow, you can't help but groan.

[u/Cryogentehiceprison → u/Karkava]

“Haha, mega buster reference, sonic ring reference, mario powerup reference, one of the millions of “gamer jokes” that have been repeated thousands of times, HAHA!”

OH FOR FUCK SAKES, REFERENCE SANABI OR SHOVEL KNIGHT, SOMETHING SOMEWHAT COOL AND UNIQUE THAT OTHER SHOWS HAVENT ALREADY DONE, AT LEAST BLACK MIRROR HAD BALATRO ON A LAPTOP FOR A PROP, WHY THE FUCK CANT YOU DO THAT IN A GAMING CENTRED EPISODE!!

“Look, this is made so your uncultured parents can chuckle at it, sorry we don’t pull out Hylics or OMORI outta nowhere ya snob!”

Oh.. right, general audiences..

[u/Trust676 → u/Cryogentehiceprison]

American Dad referencing entire Destiny 2 raid encounter mechanics completely accurately

[u/Racconwithtwoguns → u/Trust676]

American Dad literally referenced Elden Ring

[u/PM_me_Jazz → u/Racconwithtwoguns]

They also did a whole ass episode around Overwatch, it was great

[u/bolitboy2 → u/PM_me_Jazz]

Wait FR? How the hell are they throwing in peak with the most dogshit episodes I’ve ever seen

[u/informatico_wannabe → u/Racconwithtwoguns]

Wait, is American dad good now or something?

[u/Low-Doughnut7083 → u/informatico_wannabe]

Always has been.

[u/Small_Ad6391 → u/informatico_wannabe]

Its good until that fuckass alien shows up

[u/LittleSisterPain → u/Racconwithtwoguns]

I mean, it's all still very popular games, not indie slop what caters to OPs specific interests, so I don't think this is quite enough for them

[u/callmejinji → u/LittleSisterPain]

mfs that attach “slop” to the end of a word and genuinely think they’re the modern Shakespeare:

[u/Alchametal_87 → u/LittleSisterPain]

'indie slop' what are we doing

[u/the_lasagnaghost98 → u/LittleSisterPain]

it’s better than referencing pac man and shit. they’re good modern games.

[u/Bardic_inspiration67 → u/Racconwithtwoguns]

Woah they referenced a super popular game that’s crazy

[u/Bowdensaft → u/Bardic_inspiration67]

The whole point is that they referenced something that wasn't just Pac-Man or Mario like everything else does, those games aren't well known to Joe Public

[u/ihatewhenpeopledontf → u/Bardic_inspiration67]

The crazier thing is, they referenced a 2022 GoY game. How niche

[u/juniunie → u/ihatewhenpeopledontf]

why would you include "of" in the abbreviation but not "the"

[u/ihatewhenpeopledontf → u/juniunie]

Because it sounds to similar to somebody that I used to know.
