Video Game Art

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.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. No generative AI art.

No.

But I can still tell you off for souring my mood by making one in bad taste.

You obviously had it on your mind before, so chill down.

I'm aware that some people get weird about how she looks. That in itself isn't a problem. I just ignore that shit.

That's not an option when someone makes a snarky comment about it on my post, in a community I moderate.

Or it was, ignoring it would have involved removing your comment and being done with it. But I've seen you around on Lemmy and decided you're worth giving the benefit of the doubt.

Was I wrong?

Good for you that you don't abuse your power as a moderator, I guess.

Was I wrong?

Umm... is that a rethorical question? I'm not used to this... dramatic way of speaking on the internet.

I'm not done yet, because I was wrong.

My hope was that I could make you see why your comment was in bad taste. Instead you're fighting me.

The arrogant commenters analogy hits home. You went for low hanging fruit so easy to reach it was rotting on the forest floor, then brought it back to camp expecting everyone to want a bite.

We don't. In fact we're offended you even touched the thing.

I'm ending this discussion here, you're welcome back after your 7 day ban.
