I like the cartoon horses for gambling addicts and fighting games

A copy of Nitro Royale: Heroines Duel, the first official Nitro+ fighting game. It’s dreadful
A very small and very wonky King Halo plushie from some collaboration event with Bandai Namco arcades
Large LCD screens in the entrance hall at the Otakon convention center advertising Roll Over and Die, a show which wasn’t particularly popular and ended a season or two ago
Spicy chicken ramen. Agnes Digital is safely outside the splash zone
Page from "Yuzumori-san." A teenage girl is playing a fighting game, attempting an extremely deep crossup j. MK. The "X-Trigger" and "EX" gauges are clearly visible.
Best Buy listing for a pre-built gaming PC with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 (AM4 CPU), 8GB of system RAM, a 500GB SSD, and an AMD Radeon RX 9050 GPU with 4GB of video RAM for $890
Promo photos for a model kit of Al-Azif from Demonbane, a short girl in a white dress that technically covers her modesty, wielding two cool handguns
Robert Garcia, but with his outfit and hair colored like Terry Bogard
The cover to the first volume of きたない君がいちばんかわいい ("You're Cutest at Your Filthiest"), a very ethical romance comic about two girls who absolutely have the same ideas about what feelings they're bringing into their dom/sub relationship -- and then Society gets involved.
The Warden from Magical Girl Witch Trials, an adorable owl-like creature wearing a hood, its head perpetually rotated 90 degrees to the side
Ilza Granblue, a cat woman in a military uniform, performs a high kick. The high kick reveals that her shirt is really more of a strip of cloth draped over her chest, with her back and sides completely exposed.
It would actually be more of a surprise if the girl with narrow eyes and the beauty mark below her lips wasn't cruel and manipulative, but Bang Dream! YUME (infinity sign) MITA is not concerned with subtlety.
The Youtube language options on this week's Bang Dream short video, showing that it is set to "English -> Japanese" subtitles. The caption text does not even remotely match the character's spoken Japanese dialog.
Promotional wallpaper for Dynasty Warriors Next on the Vita, featuring Lu Bu throwing back an ice cold Pepsi Nex Zero, while looking directly at the camera with his usual intense stare.
Drawing from one of the Wizardry manuals. A cartoon depicting a group of adventurers reading a poster outside of a temple: "SPECIAL OFFER! THIS WEEK ONLY!! THE DEAD RAISED! 50% OFF!"
Bang from Blazblue CT, a shirtless burly ninja man with white hair, wearing teal pants and a purple scarf.
The Ave Mujica girls pose for a promo photo. Sakiko stares ahead with dead eyes, her limp arms held aloft by puppet strings. Her loyal dog Uika grasps her from the side, desperately seeking acknowledgement. Umiri kneels down supporting them both. In front of these three, Mutsumi sits in a chair, gently stroking the cheek of an annoyed but receptive Nyamu.
Kirino Oreimo, a 14-year-old girl, stands proudly next to a stack of big box porno PC games that's taller than she is. Several of the games are product placement of real world porno games -- School Days and its sequels stand out.
Futurama screenshot of Dr. Farnsworth on the phone. "Well, how is his wife holding up? ... To shreds, you say. Very well, then."
Returnal is intended to be a challenging experience. Each new cycle presents new challenges, rewards and changes to the world. Adapt and persevere to progress further. (In yellow text next to an "infinity" symbol) When you die in Returnal you will always be returned to the crash site, and all non-permanent progression will be lost. You can suspend your progress when using the Suspend / Quit from the Game Menu. Hold the A button to Begin.
Capcom's Street Fighter 6 user survey says: "Please select all game genres that you like. (Multiple answers allowed)" All the usual genre suspects are here -- fighting, shooter, RPG, action-adventure, etc., -- but most importantly "training/raising simulation" has been added to the list.
IDE autocompletion suggesting the Nix package "ffmpreg" (sic): "Experimental safe Rust-native multimedia toolkit for decoding, transforming, and encoding audio and video."
One of the Gothic portraits from Labyrinth of Galleria, an androgynous cat-person wearing a gothic (lolita) dress and holding a giant hammer.
Zebrahead's "Rescue Me" was on the soundtrack for S.L.A.I.: Steel Lancer Arena International, the less-cool PS2 sequel to Phantom Crash on the original Xbox
YouTube thumbnail: Mami Futami (CV: Momoko Saito) performs "Shippuu Xabungle" from "Sentou Mecha Xabungle." Uploaded 18 years ago. TL note it's one of the Idolmaster Xenoglossia covers so it's not Mami's regular actress
Noel Melty Blood, a 30-year-old woman dressed like a nun and holding a spear, doing an impressive-looking high kick
Photo of a plushie of Nikaidou from Magical Girl Witch Trials, where her hands are the same color as her (extremely pale) face.
Advertisement banner on Book Walker's site, declaring that GW (golden week) is now Golgo Week, celebrating everyone's favorite hitman
Screenshot of the Steam store page for (deep breath) "GAME The Strongest Job Is Apparently Not a Hero or a Sage, but an Appraiser (Provisional)! ~Dungeon and Mystery Girl~", published by Sunsoft, featuring a character who looks almost exactly like Tesse the robot maid from Waku Waku 7 (published by Sunsoft)
The survivorship bias airplane
Poster outside the theater for the Umamusume movie
Yes, that's a promotional image for a collaboration between Evangelion and Schick razors. Gendo is smiling wide, holding a razor, shaving foam still on parts of his now baby-smooth chin. Kaji is also demonstrating the product, as Rei, Asuka, and Anno's wife make really disturbing faces of longing for the men.
The new splash screen art for Umamusume the game's 5th anniversary. A really alarming number of horse girls are bunched together on the race track, charging toward the camera. It's mostly all characters introduced in the last year or two of the game, but you can see a few familiar faces, like original main character Special Week, in the very back corner of the pack.
TEZUKA, smiling: "You are a graceful flower blossoming amidst the savagery of the commander's office. Like the late Hatsune Miku."
A Eurogamer article about the Unity CEO trying to hype up investors by promising that advancements in AI tooling will kill off all of Unity's developer customers who aren't giants, followed by: "Up next: If you've always wanted Forever Young in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, you won't have to wait furlong"
Nendoroid 2.0 re-releases of Haruhi Haruhisuzumiya, Konata Luckystar, and Louise Familiarofzero. These cartoons are all old enough to vote.
Heaven Burns Red is doing a collab event with Persona 5
A variety of Kaguya Luna UFO catcher plushies hang in a corner
A second food cart, named "Pizza FatBoy," with a giant hot dog on top as well as a cartoon drawing of a sandwich wrap. No pizza is visible on the menu
Code Vein 2 screenshot. An abandoned food cart at an amusement park has signs reading "HAPPY KEBABU" and "We are Ordinally" with a picture of a hamburger
A screenshot from Code Vein 2. The player character is staring directly at a woman with large, mostly exposed breasts, watching as the rain hits then.
A screenshot from Code Vein 2, except all the colors are wildly inaccurate. Everything is coated in strange rainbows, making it impossible to make out more than the vague shapes of characters and objects in the environment.
Anime girl in a bright pink catsuit is napping in a wooden chair that somehow survived the apocalypse intact. Another anime girl in a large hat stares at her in concern
Code Vein screenshot. Two anime vampire boys have a third, evil anime vampire boy held at gunpoint. The one not holding a realistic handgun is explaining that humans are not "property," and have equal rights
Platinum the Trinity, performing the White Woman Sweep, as made famous by Karin Streetfighter, Lili Tekken, and Iori Yagami.
The results screen from my first successful Lunatic run in Lost Branch of Legend. I am too lazy to transcribe the entire thing. The important part is I was using Sakuya, I got multiple Falling Moon Rabbits (caps all damage received at 1 for a bunch of terms), the card that stacks a DOT every time you throw or discard a knife whose name I've forgotten, the Spacesuit (reduces all damage received by 1), and right before the final boss I picked up The Reclusive Sage (gives you an easy and cheap way to dupe Falling Moon Rabbits to get a dozen turns or so of invul total).
The Google search results for "emacs". At the top is a message saying "Did you mean: vim"? Swear to God this isn't a Photoshop
Tsukasa: “The fetish is mightier than the sword, as they say.”
Tutorial text: if you sneak up on a Cancer without being noticed and press the Attack Button, you can perform a First Attack and gain the advantage
Screenshot from Daemon Bride. A tiny evil fairy sits on top of a giant gloating clown head and disembodied arms. The clown head is as tall as the floating angel dude next to them
Ciel no-sells a staff swipe to the face because the swing is hitting behind Noel and doesn't have a hitbox anywhere near as large as the animation
A pretty standard-looking recent laptop, except the case is colored bright red. It's a development prototype system, so a sticker showing various serial numbers clearly identifying its origins is visible, as well as multiple ports for connecting debugging equipment.
A Mach Breakers cabinet. American style!
It's the PSP. The PlayStation Portable.

Chart from Steam's analytics recap thingy. "This spider graph shows the kinds of games you spent the most time in 2025." The largest peaks are at "Roguelike deckbuilder," "visual novel" and "dungeon crawler," with smaller marks for "action roguelike" and "card battler." A small stub pokes out labelled "mechs."
