April Fools 2022

[Moonface]

So we've held our own prank this year, and @Karo held one of her own as well, but of course there are countless more April Fools pranks happening around the internet and elsewhere today. I haven't actually seen many myself yet and need to catch up, but what pranks have you guys seen today?

I don't know if there are lists for other forms of media, but IGN put together this list of every April Fools prank that's related to video games that happened today.

Honestly, not many this year, from what I can tell.

My favorite one has to be Twitch changing out PogChamp from

Huh, even that PogChamp image turned back to normal.

The only things I saw was Phasmophobia getting a prank update and a Dainsleif leak for Genshin although the latter don't think it was actually done by Hoyo themselves, just a fan/leaker doing it.

I think you're gonna need to re-explain this one.

As for that Phasmo prank, some stuff I actually wish would be tweaked a little and put into the actual game. I wish that if you left items you bought in the truck they aren't lost if you die, since I hate that dying just makes you lose all your stuff even if it never left the truck because it makes zero sense. Possession Mode would be neat too if done right, although I'd question why any player would do things like talk through the Spirit Box because it would give them away, unless they give you a reward for doing it that ticks down as the game progresses so you have to balance waiting it out or going early. Haven't read the rest of the joke notes but those parts caught my eye as I was going through a bit of it and I wanted to comment.

Still need to find out what everywhere else did though.

I should've figured they'd overwrite the existing emote URL back over to the original one. Basically, it was the same emote, but the mouth was closed
