Or at least another 17.

Death gives me a cold, dead body.

I see @Canna snuck into that last panel.

Also it looks like the home latitude/longitude line up with a "Original Nintendo Building" in Japan.
While the train latitude/longitude line up with a "Nintendo co." building nearby.

Woop im Famous! Thanks

 

[Zumoly]

Hmm. If the girl is the Switch, who is the left joycon? Tempy?

 

[Valery0p]

Two other things that I've noticed (probably not the first one):

Woop im Famous! Thanks

Is not the first time we have seen you in these comics, remember?
The last panel is very similar, the artist took probably some inspiration from it, maybe we can even consider it a sequel to Coming out of my shell?
Oh, and about that title, remember to always read what's written with a tiny font:

Google tells me that it should be a reference to this song?

Well, I think that's enough for tonight

One of the best entries ever. Absolutely gorgeous.

Great work @Sushiru_River @Foxi4

First, it's "Coming out of my cage". Second, why is that song trending right now? My sister has played the song to death in the next room over from me, and 2 of my friends quoted the song in memes in the last 2 weeks. Like, what the hell? Finally, it started out with a kiss. You're welcome.

Stopped to look up the GPS coords before reading the rest of the comic. I knew those couldn't be random.
Protip: google.com/maps/@=Ncoord,Ecoord,##z(oom value) and boom, coordinate location. It won't zoom on the exact coords, so if you zoom at all, you'll have to retype the coords (or paste).

I strongly suggest using StreetView as well, the view is quite nice!

So far we've uncovered the big ones - the meaning of the date and their location, good job, Tempies! The rest are very subtle references, they're not as "on the nose" as the Easter Eggs we didn't want you guys to miss. Good luck!

I see a Poison Mushroom from Mario hidden in the last panel!

 

[turtleiscool]

Anyone guess gps is Nintendo original location ?

Yeah, people were quick to ace where our trip lives and works, and that the date is a reference to our forum anniversary. The remaining Easter Eggs are visual.

Wait, they are the two first unit inside her friend list.
They are her first friends?

On first panel she seems to set her eyes on a poster with the words "MASCOT"

You'll see that word a lot.

 

[Badda]

She's logged into MASCOT server - which doesn't really ring a bell. Google just gives me for "mascot server":
"The leading software package for protein identification and characterisation using mass spectrometry data"

Maybe that's her second hobby right after couch surfing ...
