I think as a kid the first Easter egg I ever found in a video game was actually the Vice City Easter egg, which sort of confused me since it was literally an Easter egg. Took me a little while after that to really understand what an Easter egg was. Never did find one on my own though, or at least anything I realized was an Easter egg.

>>1155277 I remember seeing the San Andreas bigfoot "easter eggs" and spent way too much time driving around Red County trying to find him. Also the heart of liberty in IV. I didn't really understand what an easter egg was either because I was retarded. Still am, actually.

>>1156897 Did you find the shooting the moon easter egg or the sign on the bridge?

>>1157292 I never personally found this one but I saw it in a video way back. Also wasn't the shooting the moon thing something they put in for dev purposes and left in the release version because they thought it was funny?

>>1157396 shooting the moon was a feature put in by a programmer named obbe vermeij explained here https://x.com/ObbeVermeij/status/1757572432863384046 it was a disagreement between the artists with how big the moon should look, which was never decided, and the function was left in the final (and subsequent) games. obbe was also the one who programmed the infamous fly-by planes that would notoriously crash due to oversights in how they were coded to spawn (extreme autism warning) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrJ0eVY5ACw

>>1166445 The “ghost cars” in the country were just empty cars that spawned and rolled down hills. I think there was a woman NPC who supposedly committed suicide by drowning herself, but it too was just a glitch. Not really easter eggs, but still

Halo was full of them.

Minor one but I found this in Mankind Divided. I never find any of this stuff so I was quite happy with myself.

>>1155044 I'm trying to think about Easter Eggs that I genuinely found myself vs having read about them on the internet, but I realize I really can't think of any. First one that came to mind is the The Evil Within One with the Nightcore dance https://youtu.be/wbpWLWeeZiI?t=50 https://youtu.be/Yt6PPkTDsWg

>>1155044 Here's what E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy thinks of linux

>>1155044 Speaking of which are easter eggs even a thing still in video games? I sure modern games still have them, but it seems that people in general don't care about them as much anymore in this day and age.

>>1186295 The "easter egg hunting" community feels like it pivoted to ARGs. Makes sense, everything just gets mined now so you might as well turn it into a semi spectator sport where someone's gotta go into the woods to find the next part.

>>1186295 It's not that people dont care about them it's that they will data mine them before even finding them and it ruins the point of being an easter egg.
