Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.
This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.
The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.
- All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
- Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
- If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
- MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
- No generative AI art.

This is it, everybody. I found the moment when gen AI finally went too far.
“The bride is ripe and the groom is ready.”
The weirdly raunchy text makes this seem like a shitpost.
It basically is, it just took a whole lot more effort to do it back then.
What I love about this Era of video game art is that there isn't even character consistency in this ad! The box art in the bottom right has different looking characters than the characters on the page!
And you can bet the in-game characters look nothing like the box art.
This is Percy in game, the rightmost character on the box
Fairly accurate, surprisingly
The three pixels are green, what more do you want
Nevermind that this was a Japanese game and the American marketing team just didn't give a single fiddle about the source material.
Or the era of completely interchangeable words. Like, if we follow this ad's logic, tomato is both a surname and a marital status
I was very surprised to scroll down and find that this wasn't AI generated.
