Magic: The Gathering card 'Gilded Lotus'. 5 generic mana to cast, Artifact, rules text reads "Tap: Add three mana of any one color" The art is a picture of Chandra attaching a gilded lotus flower to Nissa's lapel
A screenshot of a nes game I'm working on. There's a 'board' area with elements of a burger stacked up, in three columns. It's surrounded by a frame. There's a 'score' pane in the top left with a dummy number, and a 'next' pane in the top middle showing the next piece to drop
A screen split awkwardly. The right 1/3rd has two windows one atop the other. The top is a NES emulator called FCEUX with some debug rendering - burger pieces haphazardly arranged. The bottom is a console window with me running 'make' over and over and it mostly succeeding. The right 2/3rds is a window with vim, split into 4 sub windows in 3 columns. The first column is split horizontally, both showing the main.s source file. The top is showing the variables and data types, the bottom showing the current part of the code I'm working on. Column 2 shows a bunch of variables naming areas in the NES memory space, and helpers for setting control bits in special registers. The right column shows an include file with useful macros for instructions the cpu lacks. Honestly I copied this from the nesdev wiki because they sounded useful, not because I knew what I needed them for
Cement mixer balloon. It says Duke City on it, it looks like it's just heating up sat in an air field
A side hinge pvc window, fully open. The hinge side is still touching the frame but 4" in room the edge
A balloon shaped like an ahoy dips snack pot thing. I wasn't allowed these as a kid because they were too expensive
More balloon fiesta, several balloons and a crowd. But one balloon is a giant Bertie Basset, the sweet mascot made of assets all sorts. It's at least 30m tall and the first time I saw it as a kid I completely lost my shit. I'm not sure if I knew it wasn't made of actual sweets
Photo of the balloon glow from the Bristol balloon fiesta. Two rows of hot air balloons (at least a dozen visible) stand in a field in late evening. The sky is not quite full night, but it's a definite night time blue colour. The balloons are brightly lit by the fire of their own... I don't know the term. Torch? The big fire that makes hot air balloons hot. There's a huge crowd in the foreground, probably several thousand people. The crowd is also visible in the distant background on the far side of the balloons
Same tower as above, with many additional large satellite dishes
Purdown BT tower. Tall concrete thing comprising a central pillar 70m tall, with several cylindrical platforms with gantries, small dishes and mobile telephony equipment. The very top has a spire with a triple aerial thingy
A city skyline, with a cloud front which is completely straight, going from the top right to bottom left in the far distance. There are admittedly some wispy clouds away from the cloud front
Meme image of German guy seeing an English guy pretending to be a German guy holding up three fingers wrong. I dunno I never saw the film, its meaning is 'imposter spotted'
The cover of the book. It has a square aspect ratio. The cover is a watercolour of a rose and two other flowers on a white background. The book has pink cloth covering the spine hinge, and covering the corners
Final screen of Moss moss, showing a full completion time of 21:18. Text reads "Fully Mossed! you really mossed it all thank you for playing Game by Noel Cody"

Phyrexian Furnace {1} Artifact {T}: Exile the bottom card of target player’s graveyard. {1}, Sacrifice this artifact: Exile target card from a graveyard. Draw a card.
A page showing two cantrips Fire bolt: includes the symbol for evocation, a symbol for the spell (based on alchemical symbol for combustion). There is a hand, palm up, making a flicking motion. The incantation "Thaaq tharm" is under the image. Mending: includes the symbol for transmutation, and a symbol for the spell (based on the symbol for iron, showing a fracture). There is a drawing of a lodestone and a note that two are needed. A diagram shows a broken pot with two lodestones being rotated around it. The incantation "Scririm jus" accompanies it
A hand written double page showing rules for wizard class features of the school of transmutation. The transmuters stone rule is accompanied by an image of a patterned rock with transmutation circles carved into it, in a string mesh attached to a long cord loop. There is a (made up) alchemical formula next to it. Shape hanger is accompanied by a drawing of a crow. Its head is too big but I tried. Master transmuter is accompanied by four arcane symbols. These are stand ins for the four effects of the spell: transform an object, heal a person, raise dead, and restore youth
A hand written page in a book describing basic dnd wizard mechanics: transcribing spells into the book, and spell casting stats. It starts with flavour text that reads: "Primary tuition of wizarding skills should be found in your code text book. Information here is purely to serve A quick reminder when preparing and casting spells"
A small hardback book. It has a burgundy cover, with blue on the spine side. The blue has a pattern of dark blue companion cube looking things. A marking ribbon is looking out from the bottom
A text block sat on a cutting mat. A text block is a stack of signatures, bound and glued together, but without a cover. (and a signature is a handful of pages stacked and folded in half. This block is incidentally made of four signatures of eight leaves each) This text pick has a blue fabric with white markings acting as a spine binder. Three red ribbons are poking out from behind it
4 paper signatures (stacks of sheets folded in half) in a neatish pile. The spines have been sewn with red thread. One is wonky because I didn't measure shit
High score screen from the 'Rice Cooker' level from Kaizen: A Factory Story The 'cost' high score is showing as better than any other displayed on the global score histogram
Contents of a biscuit box. Decent mid tier biscuits like choc chip cookies and custard creams. Couple of chocolate digestives. Jammy dodgers with centers is nice, but no penguins or other bars so disappointing over all
Npc from Quest 64 saying "What do you do for a living" and the protagonist (Brian) replying "I do my best"
Box art for Pokémon Blue on gameboy. It is the US version, and this is not a mistake despite living in the UK
Screenshot of some c++ code which says the following (with apologies to screen reader users): template<typename U, std::enable_if_t<std::is_same_v<U, std::decay_t<L>> && std::is_default_constructible_v<L>, int> = 0 > AssetLibrary() : loader() {}
A screenshot from a falling blocks type puzzle game showing burger ingredients. A burger has been assembled, without a patty (oops)
Two buttons meme Button 1: "promote the game I just released" Button 2:"play silksong" Panel two is a man looking nervous and sweating
a puzzle game in progress. Various burger ingredients are arranged on a board, with one pile about to become a complete burger. The UI shows the level, score, and next ingredient to appear on the board
Screenshot of a small lambda function. It reads: auto yMap = [&](float t) { t = clamp(0, 1, t); return sinf(t * M_PI) * config.tileHeight * 0.3f; }; Sorry if you use a screen reader and it sounds awful reading code!
My two year old, playing breakfast game at my extremely disorganised desk. His score is obscured, but it's probably in the millions
Smart As... For psvita. It shows the cover of the box with the title text, depicting a clean stylised planet covered in various knick knacks, eg pawns, jigsaw pieces, a camera. In the background there is a bar chart
A title reading 'Lunch RUSH' lunch is written in blue, with a font I can only describe as cheeky. It is on a white trapezoidal background, that goes behind the whole logo. Rush is written in all caps in an off white shade in a serious sand spot italic font. It has some minor tweaks to make it look like it's moving fast. It is backed on a red arrow that comes down on the left from above, then goes right behind the entire word. I really hope someone reads this
C++ source code reading: bool landscape{ true }; SDL_Texture* screen; SDL_Rect gameTarget; void updateTarget(SDL_Renderer* renderer); bool gameTargetDirty{ true }; int windowX{}, windowY{};
C++ source code reading (the screenshot is truncated horizontally, so you get the extra info in here): // Setup backbuffer target if (screen == nullptr) { if (landscape) screen = SDL_CreateTexture(renderer, SDL_PIXELFORMAT_ARGB8888, SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET, 480, 270); else screen = SDL_CreateTexture(renderer, SDL_PIXELFORMAT_ARGB8888, SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET, 270, 480); SDL_SetTextureBlendMode(screen, SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND); ASSERT(screen != nullptr); } SDL_SetRenderTarget(renderer, screen);
Screenshot of C++ source code, it reads: #if FUZZ static float delay = 0.25f; delay -= Delta; if (delay < 0) { SDL_Event e; e.type = SDL_KEYDOWN; e.key.repeat = false; e.key.keysym.sym = (rand() & 1) ? SDLK_LCTRL : SDLK_RCTRL; gameflow->handleInputEvent(&e); } #endif
Photo of a boy with long blond hair say at a desk, looking at fusion 2's event editor. There is about half a screen of events on show. The desk is a mess, covered in my assorted crap. A gameboy advance in a yellow case. Half a packet of bourbon cream biscuits. A box of magic the gathering cards. A giant novelty d20 my friend 3d printed for me. The first pair of socks my son wore. You get the idea.
a screenshot of a falling-blocks type puzzle game. There are three columns with various food items you'd expect to see in a burger. Cheese is falling from the sky. The UI shows a score, level, and next piece display. The background is a Diner scene (the one being discussed in the tweet :)
A falling blocks type puzzle game. Several food items are arranged in three columns. One column has it's items stacked into a burger, another has a patty, cheese, tomato and pickles as separate items. The Ui shows a score, level, and next block display in attractive ui frames. Behind all the ui and obscured by the game board is a render of a us style diner

Screenshot of a Tumblr post, first post by cordeliaflyte "My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency" Second post by caracalliope "Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?"

Close up of a British seven spot lady bird on a wooden pole
Close up photo of a red admiral butterfly. It's right upper wing tip is missing, and it's speckled with a grey dust, or perhaps it's wings are scuffed
An out of focus picture of a butterfly with closed wings. The lower wing is a detailed pattern of brown with spots of blue. The upper wing has some patches the same as the lower, with a simpler pattern of black white and blue in other patches. The butterfly is stood on a vertical wooden post
A screenshot of primesweeper, showing the game was beaten in 36 seconds
A screenshot of primesweeper, showing most of the board empty and not adjacent to any primes
A photo of a white butterfly, species unknown. Each wing has two brown dots on the upper half, and a brown tip. The lower half is unmarked. The white has a slight green hue, though that may be an effect of the surrounding greenery. The butterfly is perched on a green leaved plant (unknown species) with no visible flowers. The leaves are kite shaped, with slightly jagged edges. A tarmac path is visible in the background
A screenshot of my game 'Breakfast game' showing the ending state. The food has all been flung up in the air due to the incredible physics system. The score reads 12789.
Poorly taken photo of a digger two floors below a shared garden. Picture taken through a window showing masses of glare because I'm bad at taking photos and over excited
