Imagine being cleaning staff in that office. You accidentally drop something during your night shift. All the chairs start driving themselves across the room at 4 AM while you're completely alone in the building.
"Heart attack" would be an understatement for the reaction I'd have.
Similar thing with "Easter", which comes from the name of Ēostre, the Germanic goddess of Spring. The origins of that holiday have nothing to do with Christianity, but the day and name were hijacked by Christians sometime in the mid-2nd century.
Maybe it's a regional thing then...? I'm in Germany and noone I know of has heard about either one. I wouldn't be surprised tho if those two got the attention they deserve in other parts of the world.
Kubo and the Two Strings. Some of the story elements are a bit too obvious, but the overall story is charming and the art style (stop motion with puppet-like characters) is just plain cool.
Kirikou and the Sorceress. Wonderfully weird with an interesting story
Triplets of Belleville. The entire movie is "told" without words, except for a single sentence right at the start and one right at the end.
Games:
Terranigma (SNES). Main characters revives / creates an entire world that was doomed ages ago. It's kind of bittersweet when you're done reviving the continents, plants and animals and then the humans start f*cking stuff up. Great music and visuals too, despite being 16-Bit style
Ōkami. One of my all-time favorites but due to minimal marketing, not many people are aware that this game even exists. Charming art style and interesting gameplay concept.
It's astounding that one can learn really cool and interesting stuff by posting random nonsense to the shitpost community, lol. Thanks for the link! That was indeed new to me ;)
My guess is that's either a typo and was supposed to be "shipped", or that they deliberately chose the word shifted ("to exchange for or replace by another") in order to combine the numbers of sales and repairs into one statistic so it looks bigger. After Nintendo was mass-sued about the poor quality of their C-sticks, they were ordered to replace / repair any stick drift issues for free even outside of the warranty period, and people naturally used that feature.
I for one had to send my joycons in for repair six times since buying the switch, so in that statistic my hardware would have been sold once, but "shifted" seven times.
...hot dang. Ok, you win this round ^^ now please excuse me while I continue to binge that guy's entire musical history. Never heard of him before, but that vocal range! Oh my ~♪
Thank you for introducing me to that artist, and thank you for the highly entertaining banter as well ;)
