Tekken, Lili vs. Panda.

As kids we didn't realize it could be any other way, so we didn't suffer. Much... :)

Having an ergonomic keyboard is a step in the right direction, but it's still a device for entering text.

Is that so? Then, I stand corrected and retract my complaint, it somewhat makes sense now. And in my defense, it's been more than a decade since I played and I think I finished it in one sitting, so it's a blur.

This applies tenfold if you lived in a country where the are only pirated copies of games and all consoles come pre-modchipped (especially if your game was a multi-language copy with a built-in selector/launcher). I assume the modchips had shit timing, so when the chip was having a bad day I would sometimes have to restart my PS2 for 10-15 minutes straight until it loaded. Sometimes I gave up and came back later to repeat the cycle.

Bonus memory: PS2 is supposed to play PS1 games. So when we got a PS2, on the first day I tried one of my bootleg PS1 games and it loaded fine. After that, it never loaded another PS1 game ever, showing the "please insert PS1 or PS2 disc" error.

What, you don't find it fun to understand humor more in-depth by overanalyzing to death the aspects of a joke?! What a weirdo...

Let me try to, anyway.
IIRC, you start the game in the aquarium as an octopus, and then escape. That's when you're explicitly shown to be an octopus. Every NPC, however, sees the octopus in some amount of disguise. So even if we constantly roll a nat 1 on perception check like all the NPC, we didn't have to roll it on the first encounter, therefore we know it's an octopus.

They meant Musk.

True if big.

That's what I meant, you're making the joke from the perspective of a person that doesn't realize there's an octopus in the game, even though there is one.

And the reason I said it's confusing is because the game title is only perceived by the player of the game, and the player is explicitly told/shown that you're playing as an octopus. So the perspective used in the joke is impossible, but I understand that I'm being pedantic, feel free to ignore my ramblings caused by the uncontrollable urge to point out the inconsistency.

With Octodad joke, are you implying that you didn't see through the disguise? If so, I don't think it fits with the rest and is confusing, tbh.
