Princess Toadstool's letter from Super Mario Bros. 3, with a P wing power up enclosed.
A tiny render of a 3D cube on green ground, under a blue sky, in direct sunlight. A single code test titled "should render open field" is listed below, with a single-word result: "Passed".
A custom game editor running in a browser rendering a cube mesh. The mesh is dynamically changed to a sphere and cylinder mesh using component-based controls in the editor. A bug is revealed showing that new geometry is being swapped in, but the initial cube geometry does not get removed.
James Rebhorn as Albert Nimziki in a still from the movie Independence Day.
Elroy (Community, season 6) describing the production he's in as "Space version of the Wild West."
A game editor demonstrating a selected entity that has a custom "Time Manager" component which is being rendered in the game scene as an image of a clock.
A game editor that showcases a cube and a camera being manipulated using new 3d-space widgets, and new material options that allow the color of the cube to change.
A game editor demonstrates functionality for modifying an in-game camera, as well as moving the editor's camera around the scene.
A game editor with chaotic lines pointing in every direction with no discernible function.
Demonstration of a game editor. A cube is dynamically positioned, rotated, and scaled using input fields as well as using mouse controls, via an in-environment widget.
A tour of changes to a game editor including its design and layout, as well as its controls. The tab functionality is demonstrated, change events from inputs are demonstrated, and direct object manipulation via 3D transform controls is demonstrated.
A brief demo of the interactivity of a custom-built game editor. Different panels are highlighted, including one showcasing an in-progress game scene, one listing all entities in the game, one housing properties for game objects, and one showing logs of both stringified objects and plain text content.
A game scene. The sun rises over a rotating green cube intersecting a debug grid.

Characters look blankly at a spectacle. One says "It is upsetting to learn I am expected to understand any of this." Characters are Jocelyne and Dina from Dave Willis' "Dumbing of Age". Dina is speaking.
A 3d rendering environment with a triangle, a cube, and a plane. The triangle is a solid color, the cube has a grid texture, and the plane has is a rainbow gradient. The plane's gradient is then manipulated in real time, including its positioning and colors.
A video showing a web gpu renderer with controls for a single mesh, and a camera object. The mesh and camera's properties are being adjusted, which is being reflected by the renderer.
Werner Herzog's character from an episode of Rick and Morty, during his speech about how people using inanimate objects as a penis for a joke never fails to get a laugh.
Walter, screaming at Jesse (characters from the show Breaking Bad)
A little cabinet that looks like a robot with crude drawings on the image to make it resemble a cube-y little Colonel Sanders
A promotional poster for Goro from Mortal Kombat. The text has been changed to say "You ever just think about Goro jerking off for dicks?" Subtitled: "Seriously though, think about it... Four whole dicks."
Demo of a custom element that shows a mockup of a browser window
screenshot of a web form using 'button' and 'image' type inputs which are uncommon. button has been deprecated in favor of a button element, and the image input is actually just a submit button that uses an image. which made sense in 1993, and hasn't made sense since immediately after that.

Where others would invite you to build the world systems that are internally consistent, sci fi invites you to build a real-like world which is taken for granted as internally consistent, and then change our real world into a maintained internally-consistent fantasy. How you choose to make a fully-functioning feudal system and court fealty internally consistent is not as *overtly* political as, say, how you choose to make a government modeled after your own into one that is internally consistent with the world they preside over. Both very political, for sure. But the latter is more obviously so, even to the author, whom might then get inspiration to tell a[...]
