I am expecting a lot of Disco Elysium, here...and nothing wrong with that!

A video gaming student organization I was once part of actually had a vote on their favorite sayings. The winner was the evergreen "Perhaps the same said could be said of all religions..." from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMTizJemHO8

Later we had a second voting, which decided on the cult classic Trio the Punch's "BAD CHOICE"! https://youtu.be/rIPtzZHJnkg?t=454

My personal favorite? It's hard to say...but hey, that's what the scientist in Half-Life can comment, word to word! So maybe I'll put forward, said by the aforementioned: "My god, what are doing!?"

Tl;dr: Check title.

"UR DUN! THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME?!?! DON'T FORGET ME!" - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 bass boosted, volume set to 11, game version 1.0

literally most Night in the Woods quotes but the ones that come to mind is mae's speech:

I get it. This won't stop until I die. But when die, I want it to hurt. When my friends leave, when I have to let go, when this entire town is wiped off the map, I want it to hurt. Bad. I want to lose. I want to get beaten up. I want to hold on until I'm thrown off and everything ends. And you know what? Until that happens, I want to hope again. And I want it to hurt. Because that means it meant something. It means I am something, at least... pretty amazing to be something, at least...

selmers poem:

No reception here I wave my black phone In the air like a flare like a prayer but no reception I read on the Internet baby face boy billionaire Phone app sold made more money in one day than my family over 100 generations More than my whole world ever has World where house-buying jobs became rent-paying jobs became living with family jobs Boy billionaires Money is access access to politicians waiting for us to die lead in our water alcohol and painkillers Replace my job with an app replace my dreams of a house and a yard With a couch in the basement 'The future is yours!' Forced 24-7 entrepreneurs. I just want a paycheck and my own life I'm on the couch in the basement they're in the house and the yard Some night I will catch a bus out to the west coast And burn their silicon city to the ground

and the world famous gregg quote:

I got cups on my ears.

As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"

Richard Baxton piloted his Recon Rover into a fungal vortex and held off four waves of mind worms, saving an entire colony. We immediately purchased his identity manifests and repackaged him into the Recon Rover Rick character with a multi-tiered media campaign: televids, touchbooks, holos, psi-tours-- the works. People need heroes. They don't need to know how he died clawing his eyes out, screaming for mercy. The real story would just hurt sales, and dampen the spirits of our customers.

"Mythology for Profit", Morgan Stellartots Keynote Speech

Alpha Centauri had tons of great quotes accompanying tech and research projects, it's one of the highlights of the game.

They asked if I had a degree in theoretical physics. I told them I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard
