San Diego Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr raises his arms up to the fans who cheer in the right field stands.
The key art for the game UNBEATABLE. A girl with bobbed pink hair slings a guitar over her shoulder and holds a mic in her other hand. She wears a black sports bra and a yellow jacket tied around her waist. The game's logo stands just behind her as if spray painted onto the wall.
A person with long brown hair poses for a photo wearing an orange sweater and a blue face mask. Next to them, a person with short brown hair poses with a peace sign wearing a yellow blouse and a blue face mask. They both stand in front of a banner for the indie horror game publisher "Black Lantern Collective" at PAX West.
Julie, me, and Remy pose for a photo from the Seattle Convention Center show floor. Julie and Remy on the ends pose with peace signs while I take the photo.
A series of clips of a couple streaming together and inevitably speaking in sync or having the same ideas and jokes simultaneously. Starts with a clip from The Game Awards, goes into a clip from I Was A Teenage Exocolonist, from there a clip of My Friendly Neighborhood, and a clip from a stream intro of a fundraiser.
The Wheel World key art. A young person with blue ponytailed hair and a red cropped hoodie rides a bike. A ghostly skull figure sits on their handlebars and looks forward. In the distance, a statue of a cyclist can be seen.
The box score of the Padres and Rockies game on May 10th, 2025. The Padres won 21 to 0. A video thumbnail can be seen of a Padres player gesturing to the bench with a smile. The video is titled "Padres erupt for eight runs in the 4th."
A CGI boxer stands at the ready and text reads: "ok ima fight sleep deprivation". Then the CGI boxer sits, with one of his gloves off, drinking a bottle of water and text reads: "damn insomnia got hands". There's a strange smiley emoji that is faded into the background in the bottom right corner.
A Fortnite lobby entirely made up of four Mikus. They all pose with their hands pointing at their faces and three wear cat ear hats, a cropped sports jersey, and a skirt, all in pink theme. The fourth Miku wears her traditional white and blue outfit.
The key art for the game Squeakross: Home Squeak Home. A rat stands with a pen in hand and a clipboard. They're wearing a blue scarf and glasses. Their nose is heart-shaped and their peach colored fur pattern has a white heart on it. Behind the game's logo, stylized with a rat taking a bite of cheese that borders the name of the game, is an in-progress game of picross/a nonogram.
The key art for the game Aikyam. Powdery paint surrounds three characters and a peacock, posing heroically. Character designs are toy-like. There's an older man with orange face point, a younger man with his hair up in a golden hair-tie, and a small cow-like figure. The game's logo, with the A stylized as a peacock, floats to their left.
The key art for the game Crescent County. Amidst the rolling green hills of a magical landscape, three femme witches sit atop their motorbrooms, a hybrid of a motorcycle and a witch's broom, posing for the camera. A house can be seen perched on the top of the hill where the game's title is floating just under.
A bald femme person with a red jacket talks to someone on a video call in a spaceship.
The key art for the game Wanderstop. Outside of a cozy tea shop, two people sit on a bench. One is a grumpy white-haired femme person who crosses their arms and looks at a sword stabbed into the ground. The other is a bulky jolly man who holds a piping hot cup of tea in his hands and wears a densely decorated apron. A small penguin-like bird walks around them and two others fly in the sky above them.
The VGG Champion Campout key art. Nate and Julie, two buff people wearing blue shirts, are playing a game of chess. Behind them, a humanoid dog with muscles and a harness comes flying in with a metal chair to hit them. A spotlight shines on them. Text reads: Video Games are Good presents Champion Campout. 24 hours. Nov. 23-24 at Noon PT. twitch.tv/Naetoid. A pink fist is smashing forward with the word Champout on it.
An in-game screenshot of a dialogue log in Metaphor Refantazio. A character named Bardon says: "Everyone, listen now! Our country stands upon a threshold as it never has before. If we let our fears dominate us, if we lack the courage to move forward, then we and our town shall fade into the woes of today and yesteryear. I know how terrifying it is to take that step... The road is dark, and ye can hardly see what's in front of ye! But if we stop walking, that would be the end of us! My one plea is this! Live by your own mind! If you believe in anything, let it be by your choice!"
An in-game screenshot of Metaphor: Refantazio. From inside the literal belly of a beast, three characters and a fairy flying above them look on in disgust at the space around them. One, a gray-haired horned man in a long tan jacket, says: "Looks like we're still inside the belly. I can't believe this is a question I must ask but... where's the... uh, butthole?"
