Yeah I didn't hear about that until well after the fact, when I came across that video by Dan where he was promoting it, and doing his cover.

My wife getting grumpy whenever I reply to a question with a non-committal "冇所謂" -_-
Edit - tried sticking that in Google translate, did as well as I expected(!)

I have done that once in my whole life (I had reasons, but I could still really have dealt with it) and the guilt still haunts me today.
That you recall the singular time you've ever done it and regret it, you are forgiven; the good guys get a pass every now and again. That was for the habitual transgressors, the "Karens," those that under tip and use speaker phone in public, THOSE assholes.

My girlfriend's brat-ass, 16-year-old son asked for an Xbox Series X for Christmas a week after launch of the system. His dad (not in the loop on how new console launches work) was just gonna "pick one up'' for him. I explained that those consoles were NOT going to be readily available for months, and if he did manage to find one, he'd be paying scalpers' prices. After a few failed attempts, he resigned to the fact it'd have to be a 2021 gift...
Fast forward to today: we bought her son's dad a Keurig machine. I wrapped it and placed it under the tree. Her son walks by, sees the newly wrapped gift and exclaims, "Oh, I know what THAT is!!" followed by a wringing of the hands and a fist pump. "Why is he so excited about a coffee maker for his dad which he knows nothing about," I asked myself. Then it hit me: the box is roughly the size of the Xbox he THINKS he's getting in a couple of days.
I don't like the holidays; they're expensive, inconvenient and shallow. But I DO love the look of a disappointment on a spoiled child's face, and I am VERY excited to see this one in particular, hence, in the spirit of the thread, it made me smile, not unlike this:
Are Keurigs 4K compatible? Lol...

Only the Keurig Pro models, the standard ones only go up to 1080p.

Dang they need an LOL emoji response!
Wonder if they did the same thing with the Unicorns.
My wife would have the same smile when I tell her this story! (I'm a Jew married to a Protestant that favors the Grinch over all other Xmas characters).

I have actually done something remarkably similar in the first Nioh game. While it wasn't the final boss and he wasn't at 1hp, I went back to the first human boss, one who had killed me dozens of times, on the easiest difficulty when I was hideously overpowered (around level 540 when the 'recommended' level was under 50) and defeated him with a single blow from his own special attack. And I did that purely out of spite.
