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 @[email protected] 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.

Image is low res. Maybe thumbnail?
It's not. I directly linked a 1440x3440 PNG file.
Instances can create and cache thumbnails for image links, so that clients don't have to load the full image when it won't be displayed at full size or to save data. But some apps can't handle wide aspect ratios and end up fetching a way too low-res file, or don't display full images even when opening them in their image viewer.
Using Sync. Same result as the other Sync user.
