Video games are weird. Even the comparatively-normal ones involve doing things that are well outside the realm of ordinary human behavior. Consequently, you might catch yourself, or a streamer/Let's Player saying something that makes perfect sense in context but would sound utterly insane to someone just walking into the room.
I have made a thread to post your personal favorites. Feel free to include the context (as best you can) in a spoiler tag, for those who are curious
"Let's use our friend who just died." - Dan Jones, playing Demon's Souls, about to use the "Storied Soldier's Soul" item left behind by the now-double-dead Crestfallen Warrior
"When you're walking around in an ankle-deep pool of throat singing, expect to get vored." - Woolie, playing Mortal Shell, describing pretty much exactly what happens in the game's training arenas
"I am the most interesting man in this world. We need like fifty of me." - GaLm, playing Sniper Elite 4, but really describing the premise of most single-player games really when you think about it
"But you can't AoE the bleb, right?" - a comment on gameplay of Hylics 2, a game so aggressively weird that this is almost cheating; the fact that its temporary protective spell is called "poromer bleb" (a phrase that actually makes perfect sense if you know the meanings of both words) is one of the least weird things about it
"The explosion never finished" - someone describing a moment in Minecraft when they packed an area with so much TNT that when it went off, the game slowed to a crawl before finally just freezing; it's practically a rite of passage in that game
"To be fair, he's met his parents' skeletons." - a reply to another comment on a Monkey Island 2 LP asking how Guybrush Threepwood just assumed the two skeletons he encountered near the end of the game were his parents; to make a long story short, yes the comment is describing a real thing that happened earlier
