This is a gaming meme referencing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The primary visual is a Nirnroot, a rare alchemical plant found in Skyrim that is universally known among players for its extremely distinctive, loud, high-pitched repeating chime sound effect that plays whenever the player is in close proximity to the plant. Text at the top of the image begins the sentence "You can't hear imag...", which is cut off, implying the full phrase is "You can't hear images". The joke of the meme is that anyone who has played Skyrim will immediately and vividly recall the iconic Nirnroot sound just by seeing the plant, directly contradicting the claim that you cannot hear images. There is also a small inset image of a faceted polyhedral stone, another recognizable in-game item from Skyrim.

This is a humorous gaming meme referencing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The top overlaid text reads 'When you breeze through the college of winterhold questline without using any spells'. The image below shows an edited character wearing heavy fantasy warrior armor, with a warhammer slung over his back, standing in a Skyrim overworld environment, with actor Willem Dafoe's smug face photoshopped onto the character's head. The bottom overlaid text is the punchline: 'You know, I'm something of a mage myself.' The joke relies on a common player experience: the College of Winterhold questline is designed for magic-using character builds, but many players complete the entire questline using non-magical warrior or thief playstyles, then ironically claim the title of mage when acknowledged by the college's members.

This two-panel meme contrasts people unfamiliar with a niche gaming reference against those who recognize it. The top panel shows two horses from *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*: one wearing a silly banana-peel styled armor, the other in formal knightly horse armor. The bottom panel uses the popular Mr. Incredible meme variant: left is the friendly, smiling Mr. Incredible labeled **People who don't know**, right is the distorted, uncanny smiling Mr. Incredible labeled **People who know**. The joke references the 2006 *Oblivion* horse armor DLC, one of the first widely criticized overpriced microtransactions in gaming; those in the know understand the absurdity of the DLC, while others only see strange horse outfits.
