"No" is a complete sentence. But sometimes, it has to be expanded and elaborated to truly convey just how complete the sentence is
A post by mastodon user sargoth: Person: are you into AI? Me: my big hobby for the last two years has been to make a long anabasis through oldtimey films. I even go to the cinema and read books and everything. does this sound AI to you Person: ...no? Me: also I'm flat broke, so I'm utterly irrelevant to the main purpose of these little homuncoli, i.e. to make return on investment and/or scam people into making said investments Person: I'm removing your from our lists now Me: truly, I have become the Forbidden Planet (1956)

The youtube 404 page. It's a picture of an astronaut sitting on a moon, holding a datapad. Under that is the text "Connect to the internet. You're offline. Check your connection". It is not clear how this page would be delivered to someone who is offline

EU5 has a modifier against peace deals that cause border gore
truly, Paradox knows the minds of their target audience
A partial screenshot from Europa Universalis 5. which includes the line "Would leave the recipient too fractured". This was not present in EU4, which caused an unending series of countries whose borders began and ended seemingly at random, with enclaves and exclaves all over the place

EU5 has, a point of view when it comes to the inchoate early early early modern state
A loading screen from the game. It features a helpful tip: Manpower represents the limit of how many blaggards and scoundrels a country can support in its standing army

Real life event for reference
A skinhead marches in a sparsely populated demonstration holding a flag. Suddenly, from behind, a tiny lady strikes at him with a purse; her arm is fully extended, meaning that she arced the strike all the way. The purse is approx 0.0005 cm from hitting the aforementioned skinhead

A still from Day of the triffids (1963). A squinting man rests his arm on a giant ancient radio, which is saying "We repeat our warning. Vast bands of triffids are roaming the area"

Fren,
The Silksong game completion screen. It shows a 98% completion rate at 98 hours. Or, as the kids say: nailed it

yeas, it might be a literal hole in the ground, but it has been a literal hole in the ground for hundred of years. that takes a certain kind of structural stickwithitness
A green-tinted literal hole in the ground where the white house used to be. Around it a slightly smaller than scale ruined washington mall can be seen. It looks like a nuclear bomb went off, because that is literally what happened

You think it's a normal end credits, and then
suddenly
JUMP SCARE!
The end credits to House on haunted hill (1959). It all looks fairly normal, until the very last line, where it suddenly says Skeleton, played by himself

Is it happening? Did they figure out that running a 40+ million user social network is a massive loss leader when your core business is making code commits?

The Savage Beastfly boss enemy from Silksong. It is a very cute beast. Too cute for its name, the Beast

[aspect ratio narrows]
no, not that one
the other one
A still from the Grand Budapest hotel (2014). A fantasy-esque picture of a tall elevator tower, connected via a walkway to a mountain peak with a deer statue on it. The picture has been narrowed horizontally, rather than vertically, as is usually done to make sure wide screen pictures fit on non-wide screens

[Kelis - Caught out there]
A screenshot from Silksong. The character stands next to a bench. The popup says "Insert rosaries (60)?". The player only has 44. This screen is very difficult to get to, and having to redo it all due to a lack of an arbitrary sum is evil game design

I love a title screen that does not shy away from clarity or retreat into subtlety
(this week's masto movie)
The title screen of Them! (1954). The title is written in a very large font, covering almost the entire screen. It is not subtle. It is glorious

buttons do different things depending on your intention
Two posts atop each other Post 1, by user mcc: Silksong has a lot of screenshottable things but the screenshot chord on the Steam Deck inconsistently advances text and when it does this it removes what I was trying to screenshot post 2, by me: My Silksong progress sped up significantly once I discovered that there is a setting that rewards button mashing

Is this a place of honor?
A screenshot from Silksong. The title card Sinner's Road hovers above what can only be described as a poisoned swamp. Half a gate looms ominously into view

I am reminded of when the masto movie poll chose the 39 steps (1935) a couple of weeks back, and these frames happened mere seconds after the protagonist got shot
An open copy of the church hymnary (revised edition) with a bullet stuck in it Two men are talking about the aforementioned book, one of them saying "I'm not surprised. Some of those hymns are terribly hard to get through"

Me, playing Silksong
A still from Forbidden planet (1956). A man in a science fiction living room sits down on a sofa with a distraught expression. He stares off into the middle distance, proclaiming "The beast. The mindless primitive"

A screenshot from Silksong. The player character stands on a thin slice of rock separating them from an ocean of lava. In the background, a big bug looks out through a crack in the wall, as if going "hey, what's up?"
