Nobody:

When the news is filmed live outside of a college:

Etecoons and Dachoras as seen in a monitor during the events of Metroid Fusion. Etecoons are bizarre little chimp like creatures mixed with raccoons or something. Dachoras are basically space chocobo.

I don't know why Samus hates Ridley, he's a pretty chill guy...

*Bombarded by lore reasons why RIDLEY IS THE WORST*

A preeeeetty chill guuuuuuuy...

She has so many looks, all of them are adorable.

I love her little kombat-mode where the eyes narrow and every point on her face goes sharp.

But here, she's just... :3 floofy cheeks.

The famous "turns me into a frog" tweet with an illustration.
witch: *Turns me into a frog* now suffer
me: *chilling on a leaf*
witch: wait
me: *experiencing happiness for the first time in my life*
witch: wait no

The illustration includes a simple grey-tone image of a cartoon which zapping a frog with a wand, followed by a frog sat on a leaf staring at a sunrise or sunset. The witch looks stunned. The last image is of a frog with a tear of happiness flowing from their eye.

Sorry, I don't know the original artist, or I would credit them here.

The speech I gave to the fly buzzing around my kitchen as I opened both French doors to let it out, rather than make excessive noise by hitting the walls trying to swat it...

I like the visible look of confusion after the shoulder flip.

"That's odd, they're usually lying on the floor, mumbling half conscious about purchasing a Sega Saturn... What's wrong with these guys?!"

I'm being dragged into maturity kicking and screaming.

As a child, I would feel a giddy moment of glee when hearing a console start up noise.

As an adult, I feel a giddy moment of glee when my multi-cooker beeps when starting up.

The spark has changed but the nature is the same.

I'll get some ZX Spectrum #ScanlineSunday action in with a gorgeous piece of demoscene artwork from Elysium State, a 2022 prod.

📺: Philips 14", RGB SCART, Spectrum +2.

A crt tv screenie with a medusa head with vibrant colours, yellows, oranges, greens, and reds, with sharp pixel definition and very little colour clash.

"Will you go down?"
>No.
"We appreciate your determination, but we meant physically down rather than giving up. It's the only path forward, we were just being polite TBH."
>Yes.
"Made you do it. :D"

A single screenshot like this could keep Silent Hill 2 theorists talking for 8 hours straight.

A dimly lit image from Silent Hill 2 that asks, "Will you go down?" The player can answer yes or no.

I like that the reload at the end looks like a shrug.

"Well, that's never going to happen again." 🤷‍♂️

I lament that there used to be a time where aliases and pseudonyms added a sense of mystery and wonder to celebrities, especially the most eccentric of them.

But now it's "Is this Al bullshit? I think it's Al bullshit."

Not me envying cats, because if my neck was in that position for more than a femtosecond, it would be stuck at a 45 degree angle for several hours and can only turn my head like Batman.

I managed to get a knock off NES controller (that was nearly identical, albeit with incorrect branding and 4 primary face buttons instead of two) intended for a NES mini, but it had the same input as a Wiimote, and it worked. It was great for the NES eShop games I got. :D

Metroid on a GBA is a mood.

Metroid on a big TV in the dark is, somehow, the same game with a different mood.
