Khajiit are the catfolk from the Elder Scrolls games. They usually also have a notable speech pattern in which they do not use first-person pronouns, preferring “khajiit” or “this one” to “me” or “I”

You take the high road And I’ll take the low road And I’ll be in Scotland before you

Wait shit someone’s going the wrong way here

It’s normal for CG artists to do their best to make their work look like real life and not CG, though. Death Stranding is clearly attempting to look as realistic as they can manage

I’d guess pilot goggles rather than VR

A bit of a niche one: I am a big fan of the TTRPG Lancer, and a popular meme format is describing things in the game by cutting and pasting bits of the rulebook like a classic ransom letter

The sand which Sam the Witch panned for riches on the strand which spans, to wit, from headland to ridge

They’re closely connected with the other countries that have been powerful and influential in recent history (as in the past couple of centuries), most of which actually are grouped more northerly than other countries. It’s a cultural and diplomatic term rather than a strict geographic one

Tiny jet engine that thrusts uphill to counteract gravity whenever your hand isn’t on the mouse

I have a double-walled cafetiere and a double-walled mug that combine to make a very pleasant slow coffee experience
