The graphic in the quoted tweeted uses a design element that resembles the one for YouTube for a video that you've already seen. "deja vu" means the uncanny feeling of having already seen something, typically in a dream. The phrase literally means "already seen" in French.

The first three items are ironically things that will do nothing to improve the game itself as they have only surface effects and do not change the game design in any meaningful way. The fourth item is a reference to the "digging" Flash game Motherload, which featured Mr. Natas.

Really he just wanted to get a chance to use the word "lackadaisicality".

1536 is not actually a power of two, but it's the simplest kind of number that is not. It has one factor of 3: 3*2^9. It's a magic number on Atari 8-bit (Atari 400/800) because BASIC reserved $600-$6ff for the user; common to put machine language code there using "POKE 1536+i".

Ironically uses the language of gatekeeping in a pretend attempt at gatekeeping nerd culture participation using language pedantry, ignoring how language evolves and that this may even represent a generational divide. Evokes questions about "nerd culture" becoming mainstream, and

"Right-" and "Left-" handed coordinates refer to 3D cartesian coordinates. Using object coordinates from the wrong system results in a "backwards" object, as seen in a mirror. "axes" is also the plural of "axis", & the difference between the two systems is essentially a "flip".

This is a reference to a widely-ridiculed document from 2008 that was full of nonsense justifying the previous Pepsi logo redesign. The joke is that there is some kind of relevance between the language of the original document and the sort of things produced by ChatGPT.

Movies and games are good at different things, and such adaptations just aren't worth it. Consider Doom (2005) or Battleship (2012). Each listed game would be funny to adapt for a different reason. "Getting Over It" is focused on a single mechanic and uses mostly free assets. Un

This is a rewrite of a rewrite of a meme where the old rewrite preserved "Someone is WRONG on the Internet" while adding the new ending. Both memes are statements of self-care, that instead of staying up late getting into Internet arguments/maintenance, the poster is moving on.

This is a reference to the phrase "the proof is in the pudding". There is general uncertainty whether the owner of Twitter would really abide by the poll (one side argues strongly that of course he will, as he's looking for an out anyway), so the tweet is calling him to action.

This is a reference to "Boaty McBoatface", the winner of an Internet poll to name a polar scientific research ship. The ship was instead named "Sir David Attenborough", and "Boaty McBoatface" was used for one of its submersibles. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RRS_Sir_D… "Vote" and "Boat" rhyme.

The final "P" emulates a Twitter meme where a joke/absurd take is cut-off mid-thought by the length limit. Here, the cut-off intentionally makes ambiguous whether the subject is "Pink" from The Wall or "Paul" from Dune.

The OSI model is a scheme for describing networking which doesn't correspond to anything real, but everyone was taught it. Taxonomic classification is an scheme for grouping biological life which doesn't reflect evolution, but everyone was taught it. Both have 7 elements.
