The classic meme lives on in aStraymod
Long after the conversations about David Cage’sinfamous2010 gameHeavy Rainhave faded away, one meme lives on in a single word: “Jason!” For those who may be blissfully unaware, in the game, there’s a moment where the player has to hit X to yell for their missing son Jason. It became a classic meme pretty much overnight, and cementedHeavy Rain‘s place as one of the most notorious games of all time.
Fast forward to 2022, andStrayis winning the hearts of gamers everywhere with its adorable, fuzzy protagonist. Because you’re playing as a cat, there’s even a whole button dedicated to meowing… oh wait, I see where they’re going with this. ModderGibrietastook one look at that button and knew what they had to do — modStrayso that instead of meowing, your cat yells “Jason” (originally spotted by IGN).
Now I guess I need to buy the PC version of this game too so I can mod it, because the idea of running around a dystopian cyberpunk city as a cat yelling “Jason” at everyone seems like a pretty awesome way to get to experience the game. Not only that, but you’re also gonna be yelling “Jason” in various tones and inflections, as is true toHeavy Rain. Kudos to you, Gibrietas, for dedicating yourself to that level of detail.
While theJASON modis easily the most ridiculous we’ve seen of theStraymods, it’s only one of many. I personally love that most of the mods for the game on Nexus are reskins of the protagonist so that gamers can play with a cat that looks like their own. Other highlights include one that allows your cat to wearglasses, one that turns the loading screen intoNyan Cat, and one that makes the catslightly fatter.
