Two sequential posts quoting the Today on Steam account about the release of Perfect Weapon, an infamously bad fighting game from yesteryear. The first quote, seven minutes old as of the time of the screenshot, is from journalist Imran Khan, who says "Oh this is a great day for kusoge enthusiasts." The second quote, one minute old as of the time of the screenshot, is from Youtuber Matt McMuscles, who says "WHY." It's a funny contrast to me at least partially because, while not a kusoge enthusiast as such, Matt has been hip-deep in kusoge on Youtube for well over a decade at this point, so his response feels like the wailing of the long-suffering and the damned
A black rabbit with brown-and-white markings and a white rabbit with brown-and-black markings are splayed out next to each other, facing away from the camera. They are very full of hay and so look rounder than usual. I am comparing them to the Black Sesame and White Sesame from EarthBound, nee Mother 2: Gīgu no Gyakushū, two extremely minor characters who are single pixels existing in different parts of a vast desert. Here they are united, as rabbits, showing off their cute little butts
A white bunny with brown ears and facial markings is investigating a LEGO plum blossom. They are very bright red plastic, clearly not meant for consumption. He doesn't see it as a food item. I just like to tease him
A screenshot from Harvest Moon 64, on a particularly fine day in the spring of the second year. The baker girl Elli, the player character, and Elli's grandmother Ellen are outside of the bakery. Ellen is in her rocking chair. Elli is addressing her grandmother. Dialogue box reads "Let's go inside if you're going to sleep."
Render of Vayne Solidor, a light-skinned man with long dark hair, wearing chunky armor of green and gold
A man in a brown two-piece suit wearing brown leather shoes, white socks, a white shirt, a white brimmed hat with black ribbon, and a red bowtie. He is seated on a piece of pottery, under the effects of a hypnotist to believe that he is fishing with a walking stick from which a paperclip dangles on a piece of string. His eyes stare into the middle distance with manic intensity, eyebrows furrowed with the absolute focus of man whose livelihood depends on catching The Big One. A cigarette juts from his closed mouth. His lips aren't very wide, but the shadow of the cigarette creates a tangent with his lips, giving the impression that he is barely restraining an expression of vicious focus which may explode into rapture or terrifying anger or wailing sorrow or *something*, he is so intense, I may never find another picture like this again
Five panels from Vagabond, a black-and-white manga by Eiji Yoshikawa. These panels depict a young Sasaki Kojiro staring down a nameless samurai in the rain. The interior experience of the samurai is conveyed by blacking out the background as he realizes that Kojiro's greater skill allows him to perfectly analyze his weaknesses. Relevant text reads, "Hey... those eyes...! Does he see right through me?! ...What little confidence I have in my skills?!"
An in-game image of Fran from Final Fantasy 12, a brown-skinned woman with long white hair and red eyes, wearing a black choker and black filigreed helmet, and who has big rabbit ears that extend out of frame
A screenshot of Final Fantasy 12, showing the party leader Vaan talking to a Prideful Boy in the rich area of the fantasy-futuristic city of Archades. The text, attributed to the Prideful Boy, reads "An ardent, are you? I'm *gentry*. I expect to be addressed as such. Peasant."
The image macro of a cat, wearing a blue suit while having coffee and reading a newspaper. Text reads "I should replay Ogre Battle 64."
Cloud's dress model from the PS1 version of FF7
Fanart of Skyward Sword, showing Link carrying a precariously balanced stack of pumpkins. Kinda looks on in the background, beatific and mischievous in a delicate balance of expressions. Art is by La-Sera on tumblr, linked in the post
Nobu 75% Takumi 65% Nana 75% Yasu 85% Hachi 90% Ren 85% Shin 60%
75% Karou 45% Misato 50% Shinji 5% Gendo 60% Ritsuko 30% Rei 15% Asuka I've never watched an episode of Evangelion. I don't think I even saw it when it was on Toonami. Has Kaworu always been a character? I recognize him from cultural osmosis but I feel like I can remember a time when he wasn't part of that osmosis
A cat in a business suit sits in a kitchen, reading a newspaper while having coffee. Text reads "I should re-read Vagabond." The most popular version of this meme usually includes the text, "I should buy a boat," to comment on the intersection between middle age, affluence, and the expanded ways we spend our own time. There are those of you who will say, "Ah, reading a manga is not very much like buying a boat. It is a different sort of commitment." But there are those of you who are reading this comparison and nodding, or wincing, or turning away. Because you know.

Basch fon Ronsenburg from Final Fantasy 12. Basch is a light-skinned man with a mane of blonde hair running from the top of his head and transitioning unbroken into a messily cropped beard. He has a scar running across his brow over his left eye. He's wearing confiscated armor made of red cloth, dark brown leather, and a lot of buckles. He looks determined but kind of sad, like sadness is his default expression, not crying sadness but a kind of stoic sadness, you know the sort.
Panel from the Spy x Family manga. Loid Forger is holding out his left arm, creating the space where he wants his wife Yor to stand. He is looking at the "camera" extremely intensely. Text reads "Come on back to me Yor. I need you right here!" Menacing rumble sound effects fill the panel.
The Steam install window for Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age. We stand once more on the precipice of a long and eventful journey.
A white rabbit with brown facial and back markings sits in repose, his forefeet stuck out. I call this "sphinxing," and it is one of my favourite weird rabbit poses
"Because it would be dangerous for her to come in contact with him, the woman tried to keep away from the man's consciousness. Because of this, she couldn't learn much of the man's plot. However, just once, when the man's spirit had suddenly appeared near her, she discovered that he had made his memories of Cloud the core of his being. Cloud was her friend, her beloved—a symbol of what was important to her, and someone to be protected."

In order to save Spira’s population from Sin's rage, Yuna had faced death, a smile on her face. Was it the same smile she had worn while they were swimming? She has not changed.
Pigma Dengar looking kind of pensive, staring into the foreground with golden eyes, nose wet and shining, bristling hairs on his chin, he's got spikes on his shoulder pads and I feel like that should have been a red flag to his teammates at the time
Art of the puppets of the original Star Fox team looking heroically to the left. I think this was the art for the Super Nintendo game, at least in North America.
A screenshot from the new Star Fox game. A realistic-looking anthropomorphic pig in the cockpit of a spaceship looks into his comms device, which throws a green tint on his face. The alien sky around him soaks the rest of the shot in a rust-orange haze. Name card reads "PIGMA DENGAR - Star Fox" Subtitle text reads, "And we're doin' this job for next to nothin'?! We're supposed to be mercs, not chumps!"
The "Soldier Protecting Child" meme. The knives and bullets are labeled "Sequel Culture," "Lack of Closure," and "Nojima Literalizing Our Inability to Let Go of Familiar Characters and Settings." The soldier is labeled "FFX" The sleeping child is labeled "FF8"
The greyscale Achewood comic panel where Roast Beef is helping Ray do some accounting. Roast Beef says, "Why did you send a check for ten thousand dollars to 'Oreos'" Ray replies, "I like their product! I wanted 'em to have a little walkin' around money!"
Mr. Krabs stares in horror at Spongebob's squeaky boots
White text on black background, reading "Experience a new era of survival horror in Resident Evil Requiem, and then dive deeper into the legendary saga by catching up on the Resident Evil CG movies on Sony Pictures Core."
A screenshot of the Resident Evil remake from 2002, depicting a gorgeously rendered room in an old mansion lit by orange flames from a fireplace. The protagonist, Jill Valentine, stands with her pistol drawn, shadow thrown against the wall behind her. This screenshot is actually from the HD version of the game, which is kind of cheating, but you get me
The four-layer Scully meme where the framing of her face gets progressively more dramatic and zoomed-in. Layer 1: Hm, it's about time for haircuts... Layer 2: "You know, the stylists don't listen to me a lot of the time" Layer 3: "I value the affordability and independent of at-home haircuts" Layer 4: Oh Christ, help me my lord, Monica wants me to cut her hair for her
A cover for Fyodor Dostoyevsky, "Notes From the Underground," featuring a bearded, pale-skinned man looking troubled with his fingers interlaced in front of him. I have edited in a crude speech bubble to attribute the above post to the protagonist, who was pre-occupied with the difference between his authentic anti-heroism versus the grandiose Man of Action, his most hated foe.
A render of Victor Gideon, the primary antagonist of Resident Evil Requiem. He is a tall man with pallid skin, a jagged scar running from his lower lip to the top section of his sternum, and long, pale hair. He is wearing a white, knee-length snakeskin coat, black slacks, black leather shoes, a metal belt buckle depicting two human skulls, a leather vest with three buckles, a variety of rings, and a mask that covers the top half of his skull with elaborate spectacles fixed over the eyes. He has no shirt on. He is holding a steel briefcase in his left hand, while he adjusts his spectacles with his right.
A screenshot of the ending of Adventure of Link. Link, clad in red, stands in the northern palace, arms upraised as three golden triangles frame the ancient princess Zelda, who has just sat up, suddenly freed from her magical sleep
Percy is so sad!!! And maybe other things but I'm predisposed to read this expression as sad

Shenron from Dragon Ball, an enormous Chinese-style dragon whose scales are green and whose belly segments are cream-coloured, head tilted forward, red eyes looking into the foreground
Screenshot of an article on The Nation by Jeet Heer. Text reads, "Carney is better off not being on the Board of Peace, but this bit of Trumpian nonsense highlights the limits of Carney’s stance as an opponent of Trumpism. Canada and its European allies are threatened by US neo-imperialism, but the people of Gaza are actively suffering under an ongoing genocide. If Carney really wanted to change a global system where the strong prey on the weak, he could join nations in the Global South, such as South Africa, and the outliers in Europe, such as Ireland and Spain, in condemning the United States and Israel. He has not done so, instead sticking to circumspect banalities."
A transparent render of Rajang, a gorilla-like monster from the Monster Hunter series, with brown fur and golden, horizontal horns.
A black rabbit and a white rabbit lay perpendicular to one another atop the greyish rug. The black rabbit's head is partially shoved under the white rabbit's chin
A panel from a 40-year-old Zelda manga by Yukio Sawada and Takahiro Eguchi. The dominant colours are pale green and orange. Link, in the foreground, is looking over his shoulder with an exasperated expression while an enormous Zora, mouth agape, rears out of the water behind him like an amphibian version of Jaws
The meme image of a diver swimming upward while being pursued by an open-mouthed great white shark, beneath white is the gaping maw of an absurdly larger shark. The entire image is tinted blue. Text over the diver reads "My Regular Depression." Text over the smaller shark reads "My Meds" Text over the larger shark mouth, in all caps, reads "WINTER"
A white rabbit with brown and grey patches, photographed from behind is eating from an enrichment mat. A light-skinned hand is gently lifting his right ear to give a clear shot of the light-brown shock of incredibly fine, soft hair that is only touched by the luckiest people in the world: those who live with this rabbit specifically.
The ending of the original Legend of Zelda. Zelda and Link, both clad in white, hold up two pieces of the Triforce against a black background. Text reads, "Thanks Link you're the hero of Hyrule. Finally, peace returns to Hyrule. The end."
A screenshot of the original Legend of Zelda. Link is holding up a Triforce piece after completing the game's first dungeon

Two rabbits. The one on the left is a white rabbit with brown-and-black markings, splayed out. On the right is a black rabbit with white underside, flopped over against the white rabbit. They are the picture of serenity and an illustration of why rabbits often benefit from bonding
A screenshot from EarthBound Beginnings. The main character is in his house, speaking to his mother. The dialogue box is his mother speaking. Dialogue reads: "Oh, my! You're hurt! I'll make you some monkeybread, Cameron."
A scene from EarthBound Beginnings, nee Mother, on the Nintendo Entertainment System. A combat scene, the background is a black field, and the single enemy present is a baby doll. The main character, Cameron, is targetting the doll for an attack.
Spongebob Squarepants, sans pants, huffing and puffing because he is out of breath, leaning with one hand on a rocky outcropping
Key art from Breath of the Wild's Master Mode DLC. A starless night scene set against the background of a gigantic, blue-tinted full moon. In the foreground, Link stands in his blue tunic, facing away from the viewer, combat-ready, stance low and wide. In the mid-ground, towering over Link, is a golden lynel, eyes trailing glowing blue vapors, frame blocking out most of the moon
An older picture of Cocoa from when she was still being kept separate from Mochi. Cocoa is a black rabbit with a white underside and markings around her eyes, lean and long, constantly conscious so that even in still images her nervousness is still somehow communicated. She is seated next to wire caging, on top of a faded green hay mat, with a white ceramic bowl in the foreground.
A painting by Alex Ross of a shirtless Superman dragging an absolutely colossal plow across a comedically dusty field in what I think is Kansas but can't quite remember
A screenshot of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Zelda, in her ancient garb, is standing in the foreground, facing an absolutely enormous woman, roughly the same silhouette as a refrigerator, who has a head of brown braids, a square jaw and chin, and a beatific, cartoonish expression. She gives the impression of a character designed for Skyward Sword or Ocarina of Time, rather than the open air Zelda games
