Origin notes

This meme was originally shared on the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, per the provided source metadata. It taps into long-running online discourse among PlayStation and Soulsborne game fans regarding the limited availability of Bloodborne, a critically acclaimed 2015 PS4 exclusive that has never been re-released on newer platforms. The visual gag of the finger through the disc hole is a simple, relatable joke for fans who feel Sony is intentionally withholding access to the popular title.

The meme features a photograph of a physical PlayStation 4 Bloodborne game disc held by a person. Text at the top of the image reads 'This is what they're taking away from us'. A visual pun is created by the central hole of the disc aligning perfectly between the legs of the Hunter protagonist on the official Bloodborne disc art, making it appear as though the character has a visible butt crack. The joke references the long-running frustration of Bloodborne fans, as Sony has not released a PC port, remaster, or sequel for the beloved PS4 exclusive game for nearly a decade, leading fans to joke that Sony is intentionally keeping the game (and the silly visual gag) away from wider audiences.

This is a two-panel comparative meme using the viral Buff Doge vs. Crying Cheems Shiba Inu format. The left panel is labeled 'Sony then' and features the muscular, confident Buff Doge, with accompanying text stating 'Playstation is the most powerful device ever for you to play games, that's why you buy playstation', representing Sony's past marketing strategy that positioned PlayStation consoles as high-performance, premium platforms that offered enough value to justify purchase on their own. The right panel is labeled 'Sony now' and features the sad, teary-eyed Cheems dog sitting dejectedly, with accompanying text stating 'I am not porting PS games to PC anymore so you need to buy playstation to play PS games', mocking Sony's 2024 announcement that it would cease porting most first-party PlayStation exclusive titles to PC, framing the decision as a weak, desperate move to force consumer hardware purchases instead of relying on the platform's inherent value.

This is a humorous gaming pun meme. The top text has a question: "What do you play on?", followed by the poster's answer: "Me: Mario.". The image below is a photo taken inside a video game retail store, showing separate branded sections for consoles: Mario gets his own dedicated signage section alongside major console brands Xbox (green) and PlayStation (blue). The joke relies on wordplay: the question asks what gaming console/platform the person plays games on, but instead of answering Nintendo, they answer Mario, which is literally treated as its own platform/section just like Xbox and PlayStation in the store, leaning into the common association that Nintendo consoles are primarily known for Mario games.

This is a relatable gaming meme centered on the common trope of player 2 receiving an inferior controller. The top of the meme features text reading "I got an extra controller for you", followed by the line "The controller:" above a photograph of a fully disassembled, casing-free game controller circuit board with loose detached components including a single joystick, separate rubber button pads, and exposed electronic parts that appear completely non-functional. The joke plays on the widespread experience of second players in local multiplayer games being given low-quality, broken, or barely usable extra controllers by the primary player.

The meme titled "Psyching out the psychic" presents a relatable gaming community joke contrasting non-gamers (called "normies") and experienced gamers. The top text states the normies' claim that you cannot identify which exact boss a player is fighting just by looking at their game console, followed by "Gamers:" above a photo of an original Sony PlayStation 1 console with a controller plugged into port 2 instead of the standard port 1. This setup is an instantly recognizable reference to the iconic Psycho Mantis boss fight in the 1998 PlayStation game *Metal Gear Solid*: Psycho Mantis can read all controller input from port 1, so the only way to defeat him is to move the controller to port 2, "psyching out" the psychic boss as the title references. Long-time gamers immediately recognize the boss being fought just from seeing the console's port usage, proving the normies' claim wrong.

A meme combining a screenshot of Thanos from Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War with humorous text. The top text reads 'Deleting one game to download another,' and Thanos is shown with the subtitle 'A small price to pay for salvation.' The meme satirically equates the common frustration of deleting a game to free up phone storage (framed as a 'small price') with Thanos's dramatic line about sacrificing for a greater good ('salvation'), creating a relatable joke about gaming and storage limitations.

This two-panel meme satirizes the perceived double standard in Nintendo's approach to emulation. The first panel features a relaxed shot of Squidward Tentacles from *SpongeBob SquarePants* paired with text describing Nintendo's casual use of emulation for their own official re-releases of games. The second panel shows Squidward with an intensely angry, bulging-eyed expression, paired with text criticizing Nintendo's strict, hostile stance against fans who use emulation to play the company's out-of-print, 20-year-old games that are no longer available for purchase. The meme uses the popular Squidward angry eyes template to highlight the hypocrisy between Nintendo's own practices and their enforcement against fan behavior.

The meme features a white background with bold black text at the top that reads 'Mfs making this decision at 8 and dying with it:'. Below the text, four prominent brand logos are arranged in a 2x2 grid: the top-left is the Microsoft Windows logo (four colored squares: red, green, blue, yellow), the top-right is the Nintendo logo (red oval with white 'Nintendo' text), the bottom-left is the Xbox logo (white sphere with a green X), and the bottom-right is the Sony PlayStation logo (blue 'P' symbol). The meme humorously critiques the phenomenon where children choose a gaming or tech brand at a young age (around 8 years old) and maintain unwavering loyalty to it throughout their lives.

This animated meme uses footage of a final drop of water falling from a narrow nozzle immediately after the main flow of water ceases, paired with the repeated text "My urethra the exact second I pull my underwear up". It humorously references the extremely common, relatable, often annoying experience people have where just after they finish urinating and pull their underwear back up, one last unexpected drop of urine leaks out, which can cause minor embarrassment or discomfort. The visual of the last stray droplet falling perfectly mirrors this relatable bodily quirk, making the joke highly recognizable to most audiences.

A four-panel meme using screenshots from SpongeBob SquarePants. Top-left panel: SpongeBob stands behind a wooden stand with a sign reading 'r/AskReddit'. Top-right panel: Exterior view of SpongeBob's pineapple house and Squidward's Easter Island head house. Bottom-left panel: Close-up of SpongeBob holding a white sign with a red 'NSFW' label and the word 'sex'. Bottom-right panel: A heavily pixelated/blurry image with a small circular clear area, possibly showing the interior of a house. The meme humorously contrasts the innocent, curiosity-driven nature of r/AskReddit questions with the often explicit NSFW content that follows, resulting in the pixelated (censored) final panel.

This drawing-based meme depicts a visual pun about the common social situation where a friend (called 'bro') sends you over to start a conversation with someone. In the image, a man sits facing forward on a blue chair, while a second smaller man is drawn sitting behind him, sharing the same chair and matching posture; a blue arrow points to the hidden man behind. Top text reads 'WHEN YOU GET SENT FROM BRO:' with a small text box saying 'So...', indicating the start of an awkward opening conversation. The joke plays on the wholesome double meaning: your bro sent you to talk, but your bro is literally right behind you to support you, matching the meme's title 'I gotcha homie'.

This meme uses a screenshot of a vintage anime female character with exaggeratedly large breasts and a triumphant, wide grin. The top text reads: *Game developers after adding boob physics to their game*. The joke satirizes the common trope in some video games where developers prioritize adding gratuitous, over-the-top breast physics (often for fan service) and frame this as a key feature for 'immersion' (as referenced in the original meme title). The character's confident, proud posture amplifies the humor, implying developers view this addition as a major success rather than a superficial, unnecessary feature.
