There's a semi-transparent image of God in a screenshot from the PS1 version of Dragon Quest VII. He's addressing a group, saying, "I am God, the Almighty Lord and creator of all living things."
The text is center justified in a text bubble.

Shows a photo of an opened Balatro playing card deck, four jokers, and the back of a sealed Balatro deck.

A copy of Tactics Ogre for Playstation. It's in a blank jewel case.

"Many believe that war is inevitable, something that must be adhered to, the way of things. I rebuke this sentiment, for I’ve seen what lies beyond war. There is hope in the hearts of the hopeless and strength in the deaths of the weak. Few are afforded the opportunities that I have had, few still have opportunities at all in this frail, broken world. I cast aside any illusions set before me and made the decision that waging war was not the path I'd walk.

I must admit it’s hard to press forward when faced with putting pen to page. More than anything, I’d love to present myself as a beacon of protest and resistance, but it could not be further from the truth. I am not brave. I am no leader or a gallant. Nothing more than a cowardly knight clad in rusted armour. Don't mistake me for a hero.

What I do may be a form of protest, yes, but it is not brave. Barring yourself in a cellar while your comrades choke to death is not brave. Watching as children are ripped from their mothers and merely standing by is not brave.

I am ashamed."
