Google makes some of the best April fool's day things because a lot of them are things you can actual like, interact with

@LANthus it's better than brands doing the thing of
"Hey, look at this thing we spent a bunch of time mocking up!"
"Wow, that's awesome we all love it!"
"Haha jk April fool's this is literally nothing!"
@evie more like "here's a thing we're going to pretend people wanted, then 4 months later actually make it"
@LANthus ESPRESSO with things like game devs
"Here we made a fake trailer and fake website and fake press materials for this thing everyone would buy but we aren't going to actually make" fucking sucks
@evie I'd rather have actual jokes for april fools than google's safe marketable wackiness anyday is what I'm getting at
@LANthus I'm just tired of companies making the same thing over and over and then on April's fool's "teasing" something now and funky and weird and then just saying "naw, we don't ACTUALLY release anything creative"
Remember last year when Capcom made a bunch of screenshots for a MegaMan dating sim? People would like, actually play that
@evie hot dang that's a good implementation of Snake
@evie nah "HAHA WE MADE THE PAGE A MINI GAME" is the least april fooly thing you can do
