Frame from the reaction gif of the movie Assassins, where Antonio Banderas joyfully turns his head away from a laptop, his eyes closed and hand held at mouth height, with the back of his index finger touching his smile.
A steering wheel peripheral with a PS5 controller sandwiched between the handles and the column.
A screenshot from No More Heroes. Travis is standing at the subway entrance where it would show Harvey Moiseiwitsch Volodarskii's name projected across a sidewalk, but instead it reads: Captain Toad™: Treasure Tracker Nintendo Switch™ Edition
The GameSphere meme from the TV series Drake and Josh.
GIF from the House of the Dead remake where a female scientist is holding her arms up and they are contorting in an unnatural way.
Screenshot from Sonic & Knuckles' Sandopolis Zone Act 2: it shows Sonic inside the pyramid, it's dark because the lights are out, and he's surrounded by large ghosts with horns and angry eyes. Of note that Sonic has 43 lives, so this screenshot was most certainly taken from someone playing Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I, too, would be more confident going into this level with a SAVE SYSTEM and ALL THOSE LIVES. Heck, he also has 51 rings, I bet he's about to double jump and turn into Hyper Sonic. Yeah, I'm also *accusing* this player of playing on a completed save slot with all 14 emeralds! Watcha gonna do about it?!

The Thick As Thieves logo edited into an acronym, with the A slightly changed to look like a 4, spelling "T4T"
Screenshot of Dragon Ball Origins for the Nintendo DS where Goku and Bulma are facing each other. The camera shows both in a profile shot, with Goku on the left and Bulma on the right. Goku's larger hair spikes (in 3D) are pointing towards the camera, when in the show they'd (somehow) be pointing forward to where he's facing.
Photo of a left hand holding an Elecom Relacon ergonomic trackball mouse, which looks like a Nintendo Wii Nunchuk with a scroll wheel and several mouse and media buttons.
Screenshot from a Hidden Object Game (HOG) showing a dutch-angle of a set of cluttered bookshelves embed into a wall corner.

Makkon's screenshot of a simple gothic window frame, but with the Sickos guy from Stan Kelly's comic behind it, saying "YES... HA HA HA... YES!"
Screenshot from the video game SiN, where two phallic statues point towards a door. Taken from the youtube video 'SiN and the Anime Adaptation That (Couldn't Have) Saved the Series' from 'mantron', because I couldn't find my own screenshots that had I lovingly saved. What? Link to video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFq1B5rak78
The perfect frame from episode 2 of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, but instead of Clive the temp, it's eggbug.

Screenshot of a video titled "How to Slim an Original Xbox Console" with part of its description visible: "a tutorial showing you how to slim an original Xbox console. This SlimBox mod isn't for the faint of heart. It's also NOT meant for an un-modded (retail) Xbox..." A comment says "Thank you! My room feels so much bigger now that I have an extra half inch of space! I love doing Yoga now!" The video is paused almost at the end, showing a side by side of the original case and the slimmer one — which had its DVD drive removed and height reduced — showing how little it changed.
Short video clip demonstrating the hidden interactive spot, by moving the player's look cursor around the scene, trying to activate the tiny spot.

Last two panels from the Mysillycomics strip "a true conversationalist", where a person just stares and says "yea"
A slightly truncated version of the opening credits of the first Resident Evil Outbreak to accommodate the 3-minute video limit. It takes place mostly in Racoon City's sewers, with the massacre of Umbrella Security Service's operators by the hands (claws?) of a G-Virus mutated William Birkin, viewed from the eyes of a rat scurrying around grates and pipes. It then begins shifting between this viewpoint and biology imagery, starting with a still-firing submachine gun falling to the floor along with a rain of bullet casings, that then morph into cells, plasma, viruses — all synchronized to a beautifully haunting orchestral track.
"Halo" Abe from the Oddworld game series wearing the Master Chief helmet from Halo. Thanks @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social for the high resolution Abe render.
Screenshot from Panzer Dragoon Saga with the flight radar showing yellow.
Edit of the meme photo with the caption "SOON" of a horse peeking from an upper floor window, but with the grey alien from my profile picture instead of the horse and, in the bottom right corner, a red "alien sighted" icon from the 1994 game X-COM: UFO Defense.

GIF from the game "Employee of the Month", where a motivational poster is frenetically clipping through the wall it's hanging on, whose brick texture also keeps shaking. The poster has the text "I'm at my fucking limit" One of the objectives is also "Find a way out"

Clip from Alien (1979) where Ash tries to cut the facehugger out of Kane's face and a it bleeds green acid onto the floor, but the subtitles for Dallas' line "That crap's gonna eat through the hull." are changed to "He's seeking his own level."
A section of my Steam library that shows the game "Distance" in my "Driving" game category. A mouse cursor slides into view, clicks the game's title to open a context menu, and adds it to my "Horror" game category.
Clip from Jet Set Radio Future for the Xbox running on Xemu: the player character is celebrating clearing the level, and after their little jiggy they get hit by a bus.
Video demonstrating opening a wooden door to a storage house with a key and then opening it with dynamite. The first demonstration also shows that there's an extra dynamite collectible inside the house, which explains why there are two explosions when blowing up the door in the second demonstration.
Video demonstrating the softlock described in the post. Harry Jr. whips instead of jumping, which means the intro cutscene is simulating the B button press instead of an actual jump.
GIF from Regular Show: The title screen of a video game called Dig Champs is displayed on a TV, presented with chunky pixel art similar to an Atari 2500 game. Mordecai holds the game box up and down over the TV screen, comparing the more detailed cover art and saying: "Dude, it looks just like the cover."
