I like this one
The two panels of the dog from the "This is fine" meme, but instead of a flaming interior, the background is the Treachery of Images by Magritte. In the second comic panel the dog says "This is pipe."

I call it Treachery of Infrastructure (2025)
You know, when you read enough Andreas Malm.
Magritte's Treachery of Images, but the text reads "How to blow up a pipe."

Whenever I think of the various translation efforts of Robert Kurvitz's novel set in the Elysium paracosm, I eventually remember this classic xkcd strip:
[Caption above the panels:] How Standards Proliferate (See: A/C chargers, character encodings, instant messaging, etc.) [A text-only panel.] Situation: There are 14 competing standards. [Cueball and Ponytail stand facing each other.] Cueball: 14?! Ridiculous! We need to develop one universal standard that covers everyone's use cases. Ponytail: Yeah! [Another text-only panel. The word "Soon:" appears in its own box at the upper left of the panel.] Soon: Situation: There are 15 competing standards. [Title text reads: "Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we've all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit."] [from eplainxkcd.com]

the funniest part from Pathologic 2
Dialogue screen in Pathologic 2. The NPC, Dora, says "Apologies. I thought you brought in a baby." The player's three options are the same line, but different words italicised for emphasis: You thought *I* brought in a baby? You thought I *brought in* a baby? You thought I brought in *a baby*?

I'm having fun with the Death Stranding 2 demo. The new outfit makes the protag a lot more caked up than I remember. Maybe it was like this in the first one, but the packages covered it up.
Screenshot of a third-person game. A ginger-haired man in a grey onesie walking through a mountainous landscape. It was taken in the demo of Baby Steps.

I was waiting for this ever since I played the demo
And as always, shout out to @minskworks.bsky.social for creating Jalopy (2016), my touchstone for the tactility of driving and car ownership.
A tweet from @an_iteration from Feb 6 2024 that says: I had a blast with the demo. I can't wait @MrGervaisWrites to make a video about it: – Pacific Northwest? Check. – Jalopy-like? Check. (@MinskWorks deserves the credit for establishing the genre) – Fucked-up landscape? You bet it's CHECK!

My feelings are coalescing on the essay anthology on video games written by "respectable authors".
You know, the one edited by Carmen Maria Machado and J. Robert Lennon? Published by Graywolf Press? The one that came out more than a year ago?
A Calvin & Hobbes comic strip with edited text. Panel 1. They are looking at a framed picture on a wall. Calvin: „A personal essay. Moving. Spiritually enriching. Sublime. … ’High’ art!” Panel 2. They are looking at an open newspaper. Calvin: „A video game. Vapid. Juvenile. Commercial hack work. … ’Low’ art.” Panel 3. They are looking at an open book. Calvin: „A personal essay on a video game. Sophisticated irony. Philosophically challenging. … ’High’ art. Panel 4. They have papers and drawing utensils splayed on the floor. Hobbes: „Suppose I draw a cartoon of a personal essay on a video game?” Calvin: „Sophomoric. Intellectually sterile. … ’Low’ art.”

great work @unormal.bsky.social and @ditchpony.bsky.social, delivering a truly Qud qumbo on the timeline
Alt text for qud qumbo Quote by @aaronflint.bsky.social (reposted by @unormal.bsky.social) with the text “This is why flashbangs are so strong in Caves of Qud” The quoted bleet is a four-panel comic by @emilycartoons.bsky.social that reads: Huge multi-winged & eyed Being: BE NOT AFRAIDE Ow Waite I thinke I have something in mine Eye... Eyes... (smaller eyes all start saying "ow") One Momente.... Nun 1: Fetche It a Cloth, Sister Nun 2: Very good Sister This is immediately followed by a bleet from @sixfeetofcandy.bsky.social (shared by @ditchpony.bsky.social) that reads: barista: what can i get ya? me: um, yeah, i’m going to need the stuff that’ll allow me to shoot lightning bolts out of my fingertips

You can have the actual thing, too!
Frame from Porco Rosso (1992) of an officer and Porco sitting in a cinema. The subtitle reads "Better a pig than a Fascist."
