I’ve never seen memes made with the text formatted the same way as actual captioning on a show, I kind of love it

It especially works with older shows like this.
Any idea what font this is? Would love to recreate for the captions on my media player.
No idea, a comment below said it may be VCR OSD Mono.
Rare meme that makes me feel young instead of old.
I remember the '90s, but I don't remember EA not being evil.
Obligatory RIP Westwood, Bullfrog, Pandemic... Who's your favorite developer to get killed by EA, kids?
Maxis?
Those studios bring back some good memories...
Icons of gaming all gone, their IP laid to waste.
You can still buy Dungeon Keeper, C&C and Blade Runner. A bunch of them are on GOG DRM-free, even. I do recommend those. And that C&C remaster was awesome.
We’ll call it lil’ Lisa’s game slurry.
All those Cheeto stained incels will eat it up.
So they've changed. They've changed by becoming more evil.
TBH, before this, EA was comparatively less evil to pre-Microsoft Activision. And when Microsoft bought Activision they made Activision comparatively less evil as well by diluting the evil with more mundane lumbering giant capitalist corporate sludge. Still pretty evil though.
This is one of those rare situations where a company going private is making them worse than being publicly traded.
There almost ought to be an evil ranking for these game companies. Ubisoft would arguably be on top of the list atm, or maybe tied with Nintendo or Roblox. Saudi-Kushner-SilverLake-EA, Konami, Epic Games, and WB not to distant.
Take Two Interactive, Sega, Embracer Group, Capcom, Bandai-Namco, Microsoft, and Sony probably still hover around the middle.
Devolver Digital, Valve, and CDPR arguably near the bottom. Least evil. Arguably not even evil just flawed.
Maybe Bigmode, Itch.io, & Kojima Productions actually at the very bottom?
Kind of hilarious how much of a hate-boner the internet has for Epic, but really? Worse than Take Two, owner of Rockstar and infamous for suing fan projects into oblivion? Worse than Microsoft?! Utterly delusional.
Epic is a cornered animal of a corporation that threatens to undermine a stable and generally positive status quo in the PC space and is owned in part by an authoritarian country's proxy company. (Sort of like how EA is now, though less direct obviously) If they succeed in their plans the PC space just becomes straight up worse for PC players.
Maybe as far as evil goes Microsoft by its sheer size might beat it because Microsoft has its fingers in all sorts of pies. But Microsoft isn't as hungry or ravenous and is less immediately dangerous, its more like a lumbering giant where one hand barely knows what the other is doing. It'll knock over good things, generally cause harm, and enshitify its own products but its all a much slower process.
Holy, crap, is presenting a quasi-monopoly from a libertarian billionaire's private company as a "stable and generally positive status quo" a dystopian thing to say.
I mean, in the grand scheme of 2025 it's at the very bottom of the real billionaire problems of the world, but just as a sentence. Yikes.
Whenever I see this episode referenced, it reminds me of watching it while I was pretty sick when it first aired. The airdate was April 20, 1997, a day before my 21st birthday, and I remember being sick during that, so the timeline checks out!
What's this font? I love it
We think the font is "VCR OSD Mono". Recognized it from ULTRAKILL :3
It takes me back to the days when captions were only for the deaf. They weren't restricted, they just sucked and got in the way of the image.
Beautiful, thanks!
Boycott EA
Instructions unclear... still playing nothing newer than NFSMW Black 2005....
As long as you're not paying EA for it or providing them with any metrics
It's literally my old copy from 2005. Bought ~20 years ago, no.internet access whatsoever.
Perfect, and It's a good game.
