Screenshot from Crazy Taxi World Tour's Steam Discussions board, showing most most of the first 15 topics are AI-related, either damning the game for its AI-use, or a couple of Anti-anti-AI posts by people who are looking for attention more than having a legitimate critique.
Clip from 007 First Light wherein James Bond is in a rock quarry bathed in red light. He picks up an SMG off the ground by flicking up with his foot, catching it in mid air and then dispatching two enemy combatants running towards him. The final enemy rounds the corner and begins to deliver the combat bark "I guess it's all up to me!" signifying they are the last enemy in the encounter, but as they go to vault over a slab of marble, they are shot by the player, interrupting the line, and are propelled by their momentum in a comically exaggerated arc of death over the player's head.

A clip from Super Battle Golf, wherein I whiff a shot off the bottom of a cactus, go to cross a wooden bridge and see that my friend/opponent is about to swing on their ball. I launch an Ice Cube at them to disrupt their swing but it hits right after connect. Still it results in them saying "OH FUCK YOU. Ffffffuck-FUCK you."
The sad man / happy man bus meme: The man on the left side of the bus looking at a dire landscape has text over his head that reads, "Watching Sakurai work himself to the bone on Smash Bros." The man on the right side of the bus looking at a a serene utopic scene has text over his head that reads, "Watching Sakurai work himself to the bone on Smash Bros."
A clip from the Lumacchio fight in Lies of P: Overture. I am down to my last heal, which I have just popped. Being at 0 heals enables a mechanic where a new heal charges as damage is dealt. I hit a few times, causing a stagger, so I can Fatal Attack (big hit). Doing so charges a heal, which I use. The boss attacks some then relents, allowing for a Legion Arm attack that lands. I hit a few more times as the boss winds up a new set of attacks, many of which hit. With each of us a low health, I bet on a Fable Attack (also a big hit), which launches me into the air. Luckily it allows me to narrowly avoid a hit that would probably be fatal. Landing the Fable Attack briefly stuns the boss, but also crucially recharges my heal. In the moment that the boss is reeling, I snap fingers to heal (JUST IN CASE!) and wind up a final Heavy attack, which lands, right as the boss was winding up their own attack. Finally, I celebrate by spinning in place over my fallen foe.
The health-bar of Lumacchino, Leader of the Bastards, a boss from Lies of P: Overture. He has like one, maybe two hits, left before I died. UGH.

A fake logo for a game that doesn't exist called "Dap or Die," the words DAP and DIE are large, with the word 'or' nestled between the P in Dap and d in die. They are laid over a long rectangular outline with beveled corners in the bottom left and top right. The D in dap has some blue triangles emanating from the top left corner, signifying the resounding 'pop' of a proper dap. There is a small ASCII style emoji that looks like a dead face in the d of die, 'X_X', as a playful reference to the deadly bloodsport at the center of the game. The background is golden yellow with a faded out, super zoomed in image of the ultimate dap between Cyclops and Ryu from the Capcom Fighting Collection, as I could not think of a more eligible bro handshake.
