Caves of Qud screenshot showing a desert canyon zone with a becoming nook fully encased in the shale wall. (It wouldn't even be visible if I couldn't see through walls.)
Edited Caves of Qud screenshot showing a funerary urn with the following inscription: Here Sheltered under Gjaus is (crossed out:) Quadriteles (written in:) Goshling "Creature of plague, friend."
One use of Proselytize later, the snailmother is now a member of my party.
Standing at the bottom of a long hallway absolutely *packed* with tiny purple ickslugs. Almost every single tile is filled by one, aside from the one tile containing their snailmother. (Thankfully, they're all shown in green on the minimap.)

Slay the Princess screenshot where the Princess's dialogue appears as empty boxes due to lack of Unicode support. (The boxes are still in her red-and-white text color, though.)
“In any case, she took it upon herself to find me an eligible wife. I endured a series of dates at her behest, and suffered more than a few injuries to both my pride and my body…” “Wait, your *body*? Are you okay?” Beside him, one of the other commuters turned and shot him a glare, and he winced, lowering himself down in his seat in shame. He hadn’t meant to get invested enough in this story to participate in its telling, but he could not deny that Rowen had a real knack for captivating an audience. “One of them had a particularly protective cat,” Rowen said heavily. “I can only be grateful it spared my face.”
‘Video games cause violence’ Based on the last game you played, what are you getting arrested for?
The header of a Discord channel with the blue "X new messages" banner below it, but the banner is entirely blank and the only text on the header is the channel's name.
Your Result: fix-it you don't have time for this 'making your barbies kiss' bullshit; the world is fucked, and you're here to do something about it! (the thing you're doing about it is making your barbies kiss)
Expanding brain meme. Captions in order: 1. they can't kill me if I'm all healers 2. they can't kill me if I keep casting Temporal Rift 3. they can't kill me if they're busy getting Frozen Rained 4. this targeting glitch can't screw up my Resurrection instacasts if all targets are the same

"🎮 テイルズオブ" (Tales Of) combined with "🛡️ 守る" (Protect) makes ... "🎮 テイルズオブヴェスペリア" (Tales of Vesperia).
Hector, with a pointedly downcast frown: "Your correct statement makes me feel hurt and uncomfortable."

Discord's "Mute notifications for how long?" dialog, in Japanese. The "3 時間" (3 hours) option has an extra space after the 3; none of the other options do.
Young Richard lying unconscious in the Barona Catacombs. A LLtQ skill test bubble says "Test: Poison → Failed".
A fake Long Live the Queen stat test bubble. It says "Test: Protect → Failed".
Epilogue slide, illustrated by a stained-glass window depicting Elodie on the throne. Text: The young Elodie had always had a way with words, and that would serve her well. The true battleground of any war is the hearts and minds of the people. And thus Queen Elodie's legacy stretched into the future...
The eventual outcome...
There are approximately twelve battalions and one platoon under your direct command.
As you move through the hall, your eye falls upon a vase of flowers. Pretty, but apparently not getting enough water. The leaves on one blossom have shriveled.
As you are walking through the great hall, a freak gust of wind suddenly blows out all the candles in the room.
Elodie, Crown Princess: I want these so-called rebels to go home and behave like proper nobles.
Elodie, Crown Princess: All right, let's do that. Criminals probably already know how to fight.
Joslyn, King Dowager, Duke of Caloris: There are ways to increase the number of soldiers you have available.
Joslyn, King Dowager, Duke of Caloris: Matters have come to a crisis. Arisse, the Duchess of Lillah, has declared civil war.
Elodie, Crown Princess: I don't know any secrets about getting into the old palace - *yet*.
Test: Divination ⇒ Success Elodie, Crown Princess: (A falling star at that angle... It means war is coming to Nova!)
There are approximately ten battalions, one company, and one platoon under your direct command.
Julianna, Duchess of Ursul: You have not yet reached the crystal. Are you making progress, or is it time for another plan?
Joslyn, King Dowager, Duke of Caloris: Yes, but you must give them direction. What is your greatest concern?
Elodie, Crown Princess: Yes, I will marry, but I will marry the person who is best for me and my domain.
Elodie, Crown Princess (glaring): You are pushing your luck, Banion.
Choices: • Someone about your age • Someone younger than you • Someone older than you • Someone already married • Someone scandalous
Four failed stat checks in a row at the ball. (Presence, Elegance, Composure, and Decoration.) Narration: Seeing yourself reflected in so many eyes makes you want to run away and hide.
Elodie, Crown Princess: (I need to let him down gently.)
Week 8 - Increased Strategy by 16.20 points, to 31.47. (Bonus: Willful) Lesson text: 20: You study the effects of battle stress on troops, and how morale can turn the tide of combat. 30: You study military recruitment and the importance of training and motivation in making soldiers who can trust and depend on each other.
Epilogue slide. Illustration: hands wave festive streamers under a rain of confetti and flowers. Text: Following Elodie's passionate defense of magic and her victory over the Shanjian fleet, the public opinion of Lumens rose to a height that hadn't been seen in a hundred years. Young children would dress up and play at being magical warriors of justice. Freed from the need for secrecy, the Duchess Julianna and the Priestess Selene were able to announce their shared magical powers and their love. At Elodie's prompting, the lovers pledged their devotion to each other in a private ceremony, after which Selene retired from the priesthood to accompany her wife to Ursul.
Illustration of Elodie kneeling in full royal regalia with the crown on her head. People: LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
Now that the issue of the prisoners has been dealt with, an enormous festival is held all over Lampsi island to celebrate your victory over Shanjia.
Test: Court Manners ⇒ Success Your urgent request for aid from Ixion did not go unanswered - they have sent a flotilla of ships to supplement yours.
There are approximately eleven battalions and two platoons under your direct command.
Joslyn, King Dowager, Duke of Caloris: You *could* choose to act as admiral and lead the fleet in person, but the danger to you would be very great.
Joslyn, King Dowager, Duke of Caloris: Ships have been sighted on approach from Shanjia. Not tradeships - this is a warfleet.
Week 34 stat screen. The parts relevant to this playthrough are that Wield Magic and all Military skills are maxed, Court Manners is almost maxed, and Climbing is over 60 with the outfit bonus.
Joslyn, King Dowager, Duke of Caloris: The people will be pleased if you participate in their games. However, it would expose you to danger.
Choices: • Eat candy now • Save it for later • Test for poison (selected)
Test: Production + Trade ⇒ Failed There is a little card with the box - 'With Our Compliments, The House of Kraellat'.
Joslyn, King Dowager, Duke of Caloris: What will you offer as prizes to the winners?
As you are walking through the great hall, a freak gust of wind suddenly blows out all the candles in the room.
Corisande, Duchess of Mead: Hello, Elodie. I'm sorry to trouble you, but - have you seen Briony?

On your journey to Sudbury, your carriage is attacked by bandits!

Julianna seizes the advantage while your attacker is distracted.
