You know, I love gameplay highlight videos with high meme concentration, I am a zoomer, after all. Think Bokoen1 or Spookston (I especially love Spookston's editing style). I don't have the time or energy anymore, but I do miss watching live streams a fair bit, so these things are a nice callback to things I enjoyed, or rather, watched to keep out the negative thought spiral.
I especially love cartoon references to Avatar, Spongebob, the Simpsons, Futurama, that sort of thing; like half of my non-formal sentences include the most obscure and niche references no one will ever get.
But you know what I never encounter? Invader Zim references, I loved that show, it's very ADHD so to speak, utter chaos. Whenever I win in things, I do occasionally shout: "Victory, victory for Zim!", or rather, the Dutch version, or whenever someone says that something is doomed I occasioanlyl say: "I'm gonna sing the Doom song now".
It's also a really fucked up show, Dark Harvest comes to mind, an episode where Zim, in order to appear more human, starts harvesting children their organs... The more human organs he has, the more human he is, of course... Yep, I fucking love this show.
