In Hypnospace Outlaw, you can put sticky notes on your computer's desktop, write on them, and make an AI voice read the text on them. When Joe played Hypnospace, he wrote various different things on a note which he would occasionally get the AI voice to read. This is why he still sometimes lists off these things in a monotone voice. These are the things he wrote which he still quotes:

  • "Shaving or not"[1]
  • "RIP Nanako" - Joe bought a virtual pet which lives on your desktop in the game. He had already named the protagonist Dojima, after a character from Persona 4, so he named the pet Nanako, which is the name of Dojima's daughter. Then the pet died when he rubbed its own poop on its face, which is why he wrote "RIP Nanako" on the sticky note.[2] This is also the reason behind the creation of Poop-chan.
  • "RIP Nanako 2" - After Nanako died, Joe bought another virtual pet and called it Nanako 2, who then also died because Joe forgot to feet it.[3]
  • "RIP Nanako 3" - Then he got another one called Nanako 3 who also died.[4][5]
  • "Orb said I'm a weeb" - There's a webpage in the game where you click a button and a magic orb outputs the answer to a question, and the idea is that you say a question and click the button to see what the answer is. When Joe found this page, he asked it a few questions which it took a while to answer because it kept on outputting things like "Rephrase your question with more elegance". Then at the end he asked it "Am I a weeb?" and it immediately output the answer "Absolutely".[5][6]
  • "RIP Me zoo key Turns out fruit can expire" - Joe bought another virtual pet which he named Mizuki, after a character from AI: The Somnium Files, who then also died because he forgot to feed it. He had to write her name as "Me zoo key" on the sticky note so that the AI voice would pronounce it correctly. The "Turns out fruit can expire" bit is a reference to fruit never expires.[7]
