I grew up thinking Pyramid Head was one of the scariest video game villains ever, but thanks to cosplay, I no longer have to hide in fear

Pyramid Head, originally a figure of terror from Silent Hill 2, has been reinterpreted in cosplay, particularly through the trend of Pink Pyramid Head. Cosplayer u/Hannah-Vorhees incorporated cherry blossom flowers into the traditional design, creating a whimsical version that raises questions about its endearing qualities. This trend extends to other traditionally menacing characters, such as the Nazguls from The Lord of the Rings, which have also been reimagined in pastel hues. Another cosplayer, u/thatpikminguy, created a humorous version featuring pizza boxes instead of a metal helmet and a pizza sauce-stained apron. Additionally, u/TheYzzyPop presented a holiday-themed Pyramid Head with festive colors and a Santa hat. These reinterpretations showcase the creativity within the cosplay community, allowing characters like Pyramid Head to be seen in a new, more approachable light.

The dispatching minigame in Dispatch is good enough to be a standalone game

There’s a sidequest in Borderlands 4 based on a meme making fun of Soulsborne games and it’s great

Borderlands 4 has shifted its tonal direction to a more measured approach following the mixed reception of Borderlands 3, which was criticized for its crude humor. This change has resulted in villains that often lack depth. In contrast, side quests in Borderlands 4, such as "Forgive Me," incorporate contemporary memes and add personality to the game. The quest references a viral joke about Soulsborne games and was inspired by a tweet from Sam Winkler, the head writer, from 2022. Winkler clarified that his intent was to express admiration for FromSoftware's work, stating, "I am begging anyone who thinks I'm dunking on fromsoft to learn how to make fun of the things you love."
