Everyone calls Star Rail “Hoyoverse’s shitpost” for all its memes and references, but I think it really shows how much care and effort they put in to make the game even more enjoyable to players.
@Conagher27 Henry stickmin definitely has the potential to surpass it, if they haven't at this time. That series is filled to the brim with memes, and references
Also: - in the Jarilo-IV quest, we run into a little machine that if you call an antiquity says “beep, beep, beep…your mom’s an antiquity!” - in the hotel form where you put your name, it has “your friendly neighborhood nameless,” AKA “Your friendly neighborhood spider-man” - In one of the simulated universe quests, Herta asks “How were they created? Why were they created? What were they created for? Trailblazer, have ever you thought about these questions?” and one of the answer choices is “…42?” like the meme - finally, I don’t remember where this is from, but I have a screenshot of one of the Trailblazer’s dialogue options being “I’d like some free real estate, please!”
5:34 the entire game is an hi3 reference, what with it literally being a honkai game, welt literally being from the hi3 verse, the existence of seele/bronya/sushang/himeko/luocha and so on..hoyo loves their honkai games.
More references: - The entirety of Aetherium Wars is obviously a Pokemon reference, with the Topaz Support Squad obviously being a reference to Jesse and James, down to calling you a twerp and having very similar voices. - During Aetherium Wars, there is a dialog option where you get to call it "a simple numbers game." Might be a reference to Deltarune where Jevil says the exact same thing. - The Landau siblings are likely named after Soviet physicist Lev Landau, who was involved in the creation of the Soviet atomic bomb. (Russian Oppenheimer I guess.) - In the Fables About the Stars Myriad Celestia trailer, the morse code playing during the Nous the Erudition part translates to "42"
3:22 1. Probably reference to Metal Gear Solid (MGS) where you can hide inside dumpsters (among other places). MGS 4 has the option of hiding in dumpster, and it came back in MGS5...I'm not sure if it's MGS in particular though since MGS is better known for the cardboard box, but no other stealth game like Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed, Hitman, Thief, etc. even has the option of hiding in a dumpster as far as i remember. (Edit : there's Dishonored which does have dumpsters, and in one of the missions you can use a dumpster to bypass an objective instead of just using it as a random hiding place) 2. Disco Elysium 3. This is basically any RPG game these days, a lot of games do this. 4. I'm not sure about the TV series one.
There is a Nier reference with a side quest dealing with a rogue machine called Pascal. Similar character, SAME voice actor. Also according to the leaks of Acheron, her e6 is a Drakengard reference of a character called Zero.

I don't believe there is any other game that has so many memes inside of it. And the best part is that there are a whole lot more to be discovered.

I found out that the real estate one is from the main quest, right after the funeral of Tingyun
5:35 YOU'RE HERE TOO, CLOTHAR?!?!?!

2. Disco Elysium
3. This is basically any RPG game these days, a lot of games do this.
4. I'm not sure about the TV series one.
Much appreciated!
3. can also be Pokémon, namely Lt. Surge's Gym in Gen 1 where you need to find keys in the trash bins to disable the barriers.
"This is Himeko's sword!"
Me: "You didn't explain that it has a different dialogue if you approach it as Himeko.
Clothar always there to help
This is some peak content and edit,keep up the great work my guy
Glad you enjoyed it 👊
I love the editing!! =D it was very enjoyable to watch. So many references in this game, it’s like their own treasure chests on their own.
Theres also an Oppenheimer reference with the wall climbing scene. You can select the option of:
"I am become trailblaze. Perambulator of walls."
3:37 could also double as a reference to the mocking spongebob meme format where u type any phrase like that and include the pic of him :3
I mean this game's genre is a space comedy.
Underrated channel here. Good video with a smooth af transition at 2:16

The stelleron monsters fighting eachother event was a serious pokemon reference
