It's that time of year again.  And this year instead of hunting for these myself I figured I might as well have bay12 do all the work for me make a thread so folks can share amusing april fools jokes they found today.

I guess I'll start off with the most obvious one. Google Gnome

Is Freeman's Mind due for a sequel?

Maybe.

Season 5 of Hermitcraft is up. All the usuals are there, putting out their usual high caliber of content.

Also, if you use Tumblr, they have installed the world's most horrible Tamogatchi in the bottom-left of your dashboard (click the icon to open and then start cleaning poop until you realize how stupid this "prank" is and just ignore it until it goes away).

A whole bunch of subreddits have changed their CSS to humourous things. My favourite is probably Horizon: Zero Dawn duplicating the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild subreddit's look, which is great.

Projared reviews the latest entry in a long-running classic RPG series and Game Grumps gets a rebranding.

I gotta agree with projared there.  Their combat system is obtuse AF

Paradox put up a scheduled dev diary for Europa Universalis 4 yesterday.  Hidden in it was a single minor note while discussing rebalancing of "more extravagant National Idea bonuses" (read: nerfs).

French Elan increased from 20% to 40%

Given the typical complaints about the Big Blue Blob, this predictably led to raised eyebrows until Johan realized what DDRJake had hidden in his dev diary. :3

Can't really show it off, but I modified a private forum I host for my friends to make all of the links on the webpage run away from the mouse pointer.

The April fool's joke was amusing for about 0.3 seconds, but now it's just frustrating.

I also bugged the code so that it didn't take page scroll into account, which meant that if you scrolled down at all it tended to just make the links disappear, but that worked well enough too.  And I was too lazy to fix code for a joke.

I actually forgot this one even though it made me laugh the hardest. JackSepticEye showing off his new play button in honor of 15 million subscribers. Markiplier did a similar one but the number was different, of course.

Starcraft 2 had an amusing take on the Co-op mode mutation by making the mission objective to simply destroy your enemy. In this case your enemy was your Co-op partner. Stupidly unbalanced but pretty funny seeing how completely broken factions clash.

There was also this, apparently:

Imgur apparently had a team system for its voting :O
Reddit had THIS
Crosscode [Awesome pixellated RPG game] had...'voiceovers' (which are actually nice in their quality; emotion silliness, but nicely done)

Among a few things I recall, not having that day celebrated where I am.

r/place was not an April Fools' joke, it was the most fun I've ever had on Reddit!
