A graph of the SpaceX stock over time, with a ludicrously crude drawing of a woman with a very large head and excessively long neck lying on her back with her toes pointed down drawn over the top. I must re-emphasise how bad the drawing is.
A screenshot from Final Fantasy 13-2, the sun is blocked by a large Fal'Cie, the lands of Pulse shrouded in darkness. Floating glowing letters with a slight curve to them sit in front of a nearby cliff: "Episode 3 Part 1 Prophecy of Hope Taschas Massif 010 AF" (The subtitles additionally read "The path you have walked to reach there here and now will give you the courage you need to hope.")
The Splash Screen of Final Fantasy XIII-2. Its title and logo (featuring Lightning and some guy not quite back-to-back, swords drawn) dominate the screen, with NEW GAME selected on the bottom right (followed by Beginner's Primer and Settings).
A screenshot of the Google "AI Overview" it reads: "Scarletite is a rare Rank 8 transformational catalyst in Final Fantasy XIII used to upgrade weapons and basic stat accessories. It is primarily farmed by defeating Sacrifice enemies in Eden Hall (Chapter 12) or Orphan's Cradle, or purchased from the Final Fantasy Wiki for 100,000 gil after Chapter 11."
A Tweet from John Romero, it feature a picture of the id logo, and reads: I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs. I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. The people at id have done a great job moving that legacy forward. DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein are not easy names to carry on, especially in today’s industry. The last few games showed real care, skill and respect for what those worlds mean to people. A note on digital preservation: id's history is critically important to the history of games. I’ve preserved id’s complete early history from our start at Softdisk through to August 6, 1996, including materials and assets that, as far as I know, id itself no longer has. I hope someone is doing the same for the company’s ongoing legacy (the work, code, assets, stories and the people behind them). I’m thinking of everyone at id today, and everyone else affected by yesterday’s layoffs. Romero Games was there a year ago. I know how devastating it is, and my heart's with all of you.
The Major in Science Saru's "The Ghost in the Shell" adaptation, standing in front of a temple hands on her hips, shadowed by a cherry blossom tree, as said blossoms drift down through the frame. The subtitles read "I guess that means he wasn't lying about that, anyway." The backdrop is bright, nearly tropical in colouring, while The Major is drawn in rich colours.

Layered screenshots of an Unreal Engine game, the main part of the image is an 18x12 grid of brown squares, which have trees and rocks and wheat in columns down them. The top left corner shows times.
A tightly cropped screenshot from Discord, it reads "also, I'm not much of a incrimental kind of person but this game is VERY stresful"
An edited headline screenshot that originally read "A Brief History of Guys Shooting Themselves in the Dick This sort of thing happens far too often" The word Guys has been crudely crossed out, with "Corporations" hand-written above it.

A Screenshot from JJBA Stone Ocean, Pucci is on screen, fingers pressed to his temple in pain, the background dark, a crack on his face, and to the left side of the shot is a hand holding a big drink. The subtitle reads "The waxing and waning of the moon is said to affect the sea level by as much as 100 meters."
A screenshot from Stone Ocean with a murky background, a roll of film lays vertically across the screen, with one frame inserted of a faux coke bottle and cup, while the rest of the frames are of a man and woman. Subtitles at the bottom read "Or a single frame being inserted into a film reel."
A screenshot from Stone Ocean's adaptation of a cloudy but bright blue sky, light shining on the clouds and virtual camera, with a text box that says "The Rods are still out there."

A screenshot from For All Mankind, the Sojourner ship sits centre frame, quite small, with its solar sails -six large golden triangles- extending from it like a hexagon that was split up the middle.
A screenshot of For All Mankind from Season 2. Margot stands right of frame in focus, the background of NASA has a series of lights that present as mostly blue / teal Bokeh shapes with a slight inward curve to the blades. so they resemble 8 pointed stars.
A shot from For All Mankind. Text on screen reads "Skylab, U.S. Space Station" A shot from space looking down at earth, taking up most of centre frame is a space shuttle docked to a fictionalised version of Skylab still operating in the early 80s.
A photo of a pile of CDs, sitting on a retaining wall. The top CD is Fleetwood Mac's Rumours.
A screenshot of an Unreal Blueprint, from the "OnPressed Torch Button" it runs to a branch which checks to see if "block first input" is true, and if it does it delays for a tick and then sets it to false. If it isn't true it runs to a branch which checks to see if "block first input" is true, and if it does it delays for a tick and then sets it to false.
A photo of a Magpie standing next to a small hole in the ground, the tip of one of my shoes and my spade are visible at the bottom of frame.

A picture of a tree on sand surrounded by thousands of spiky root bits that point directly up through the soil, its pneumatophores. Taken from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_mangroves#/media/File:Mangrove_and_pneumatophores_in_Moreton_Bay,_Qld.JPG
A screenshot of a blueprint in Unreal, the code triggers on overlaps, checking to see if enough time has passed since the last time it was triggered. It's setup with separate timers for both left and right sides, but strangely the "L Cone" section is checking the R Side variables, and the "R Cone" checks the Left.
The buff taken display in Careening, it shows 92 buffs taken, though they are arranged in strange columns, and in the top right it show an fps of 23.
A screenshot of Slay the Spire 2, The Silent rests at a bonfire, the UI shows 29 relics, so many that they have escaped the containment of the first row, with three on the second.
A screenshot of the game The Loopler, showing the Daily run leaderboard for Most Loops. The top 10 all appear in one box, and I am in a box below that in 11th place.
A screenshot inside Unreal's editor, the previous main menu is shown in a shot from above, behind the camera are rows of variously coloured and shaded planes.
A screenshot of the Careening main menu, on top of the usual features it now features a text box which at this point reads "Shaders Compiling, performance may be affected. Shaders Remaining: 3,587"
Look, I'd love to describe what this contains, but it's a disaster. It is a screenshot of a blueprint in Unreal that's just really bad, very shameful, and nobody should ever see it.
The "Terminal Lance" comic "The Pandorussy" with the Na'vi crudely edited out and replaced with a Xenomorph. The top panel show Quaritch pointing at the Alien saying "Listen up, Marines... While you're here on LV-426 there is literally only one rule... DO. NOT. HAVE SEX WITH THE ALIENS. The middle panel is said xenomorph slapped on screen. The Final panel shows two marines sweating and breathing heavily, with one saying "Um.. but... Sir... ...Hear me out..."
