Understanding the references

Have you lost your sleep or do you have a hard time sleeping because you can't wrap your head around these mysterious cards potato characters that you swear look familiar to you? Today is your lucky day, probably, because here you will finally find out what are those weird faces you keep seeing that you can't exactly pinpoint what or who they are.

Introduction

Farmer, have you ever wonder where are those weird card pictures from? Well worry no more! We're here to put an end to your misery. My fellow farmer, today you will be able to say "I understand that reference" because this guide will open your eyes and show you the great taste these devs have to find "inspiration" for their cards artwork.

If we do some math and we roughly calculate how many people will read this guide we conclude the following points:

- According to Steamdb, by the time this guide is being made, the average number[steamdb.info]of people playing this game daily, is between 2.000 and 2.700.

- By extrapolating the percentage of people that has read any of my other guides (and guides from some other not so popular games) compared to the daily players of those games, considering the fact that some people search for helpful guides like achievement guides, walkthrough guides, puzzle solution guides, how to basic guides, being these usually the most popular guides while other people look for more focused on explaining specific mechanics / systems to help players understand how games work under the hood, and this guide being none of that, you could say that 10% is a representative value that we can apply to this case.

- And by extension of the last point, being there a total of 8 guides (including this one) for this specific game at the moment, one could argue that this guide has around a 30% chance of catching people's eyes amongst the rest, 4 of them being actually useful, 2 being russian and the last one idk tbh.

- Not before taking away some wildcards and giving us a safe margin to work with.

By concluding the, theoretical, percentage of people that WILL read this guide, we come to a breathtakinly outcome of: 20 people. 20.... people. Only 20? ♥♥♥♥ yeah I thought it'd be less. Well 20 people it is! 20 Wonderful people will claim their sleep back! Sleep no more Worry no more!

Help us understand the references

If you got any reference missing on this wonderful guide or you found a different meme that could reference any of the cards, I WANT YOU - to let me know in the comments so the guide can finally be a one and whole box of throwbacks into a better time for memes.

If you have any questions regarding this deep introspection to 2010s memes, feel free to let your mind speak itself / himself / herself / themselves on the comments! I, personally, will appreciate any kind words and will not so much appreciate hateful words, but free speech is free speech, so go ♥♥♥♥ yourself or I love you depending on what you're gonna say next ^^. Anyway thank you for reading! <3

[Cooconuts]

Oh I see, well thats too bad because now this guide will be... incomplete. But yeah we'll see, thanks P2M! <3

[☢ P2M ☢]

I don't think those 2 cards are references to anything. During the Multiplayer Event, those 2 Potatoes were bosses. They're completely original to the game.
They could just be placeholders, so we just gotta wait and see if they change them.

[Cooconuts]

I am aware Dragonkobold and thanks, but I can't for the life of me find what is the reference for those 2 cards If anyone knows anything about them I'll be more than happy to add them to the guide

[Dragonkobold]

There's two new cards as well with the update. One is healthy potato and the other a grasshopper damage.

[Cooconuts]

Thanks viewer #1009 it took me some time before I recognized the first one too haha

[Redbeard]

Nice work. I hadn't even realised that these memes were being referenced in the game.
Well done. (1009)

[Cooconuts]

Thanks Blood & Guts! I appreciate it <3 It is very funny to me that they thought of these memes as reference for the cards haha
