Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.
This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.
The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.
- All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
- Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
- If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
- MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
- No generative AI art.

FF8 wasn’t bad because of the gritty sci-fi setting. It was bad because of the terrible teen angsty emo writing. The problem with all the FFs after 7 is just the bad writing. It’s a problem lot’s of modern Japanese media has. Way too much exposition and info dumping bull shit with cringe inducing dialogues clearly inspired by shonen manga these otaku writers grew up with. It’s like these Japanese writers don’t know how normal people, who aren’t manga obsessed geeks, communicate with each other.
