Nancy Drew was like, "Why is there boss music?!" 🫨😆

One of my favorite Halfmoon Joe moments 💣💥🤯😂

"You know, the more things change, the more they stay the same..."

A screenshot from Halfmoonjoe's playthrough of The Yukon Trail, after he has lost at a shell game.

A screenshot from Jerma985's playthrough of Later Alligator, after he has lost a three-card monte game that is designed to be a tutorial where the player is meant to easily win.

#TF2 AU idea I had where Sniper never left New Zealand and ends up meeting Tentaspy. I hadn't ever seen these two versions of Sniper and Spy meeting together, so I made this. The composition is the 1900 painting, The Mermaid of Zennor by John Reinhard Weguelin. #art

Tentaspy's tentacles are kitbashed from Elizabeth the Second's rig (a carnivorous plant model), from the TF2 map Monster Bash.

Chat, it got us.

Sniper introduces Spy to Australian culture. #TF2 #Art

Drawing of Sniper from Team Fortress 2 playing the didgeridoo for Spy. Spy is sitting on a cushion.

Travel Agents. I was definitely thinking about Spirou's Fantacopter ("Champicopter") from the Spirou and Fantasio comics and the 2018 movie. #TF2 #Art

Drawing of Spy from Team Fortress 2 flying his Travel Agent gadget, while carrying Sniper.
Speech bubbles read: Spy: Take the shot! Or perhaps I should drop you?
Sniper: You think this is easy, mate?!

We need to go back to getting CD-ROMs from a box of cereal. That was peak.

I was re-reading the chapter on LazyTown, and there's a line where essayist Lynn Whitaker describes Robbie Rotten as "a permanent yet manageable threat," which is an absolute fire line, ngl. 🗣️🔥

I've been playing 1997's Mind-Gym (it won a the very first BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Award for its comedy!) and this game's narrator says "Hullo!" more than Trixie and Katya! 💅 Love that! Screenshots courtesy of @collectionchamber.bsky.social !

I love these clever animation tricks artists used to get the effect they wanted.

The magic of backlight animation: that pre-digital era when artists had to light up from underneath to create lighting effects through unpainted or translucent parts of cels, backgrounds and various elements.

Jank can be part of the charm, honestly.

If your game looks like ass, I might play it. If it sounds like ass, I might play it. If it's got bugs, I might play it. If it took ten hours of midling work, plays janky as hell, and has no future support...I might play it. If you use AI for the game, I won't play it ever.

I was watching a playthrough of Mia's Reading Adventure: The Bugaboo Bugs, and spotted some Tamagotchis!

A screenshot of a CG game. Marty the mouse is manning a machine made out of man-made everyday objects. There are four Tamagotchi swinging into view.
