While playing AI: The Somnium Files Joe told a story about switching from using a capsule coffee maker to a french press, and how when he drank capsule coffee again after the french press coffee he “almost gagged”[1]. A chatter quickly followed up with a joke reusing Joe's speech but with Jerma's streams and Joe's streams:

I visited Joe's stream and thought it was pretty good, then went to try the Jerma stream and thought they were the same. Then I want back to Joe's stream and I nearly gagged.

—Swaggamanca[2]

The phrase “almost gagged” became a stream meme, with Joe saying it as a punchline occasionally.[3][4][5]
