Finally got all the new RPG books up on the shelf. #shelfie
A cheap painted-steel-pipe-and-particleboard bookshelf groaning under the weight of a collection of TTRPG books. 4th and 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons are overrepresented, but there's stuff dating back to 1st edition and more eclectic choices like Magical Kitties Save the Day!, Delta Green, and a couple Warhammer RPGs. The bookshelf is flanked by two towers of boxed PC games.

My first thought was the Mega Drive/Genesis game, Zoom!, because I am permanently damaged.
A clamshell plastic Sega Genesis case for the game Zoom!, featuring the grey-on-black grid aesthetic, with the inexplicable main character, game field, and enemies. The only way I can describe it is a partial disco floor populated with a clock, an animate scrubbing bubbles brush, an ominously wiggling disembodied purple hand, and the main character itself, an orange ovoid with an enormous face, a giraffe tail, giant bat ears, and green arms and legs (replete with cartoon gloves and shoes) all sticking directly out of the "torso." It looks like a parody of videogame.

You are not alone in your suffering
A tiny Duke Nukem bust looks down upon the view, almost dissmissively, from a haphazard shrine seemingly made of various CD-ROM jewel cases, the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy box, and a Total Annihilation manual. The low-quality digital zoom makes it all look like a grainy mess, as if seen in a nightmare.

"The Empire improves every province it touches" - Redditors
Screenshot from S1 of the Mandolorian, with Werner Herzog's absurdly evil character going to bat for the absurdly evil empire while a stormtrooper literally looms over his shoulder. He is literally about to ask for a literal baby to be consumed in his evil experiments

My bookshelf groans under the weight of my 4e collection.
A full row of two dozen or so 4e D&D books gently deforms a particleboard shelf. The Neverwinter Nights mapkin rests daintily atop them.

"BEWARE OF THE PIPELINE" meme format typically depicting a gender transition, here instead showing a progression from a literal gun computer mouse to more typical vertical mouse designs, then slightly sexual ones, and ending with the Novint Falcon, a force-feedback input device notorious for being made into various sex machines

The one Great RPG UI is Ultima Underworld and no I will not admit that it has any faults

Bethesda games, Hitman, and X-Com, the best screenshot material out there.

As an alternative, consider creating a spreadsheet of all the DILFs in the films you watch, ranking them 1-5 by their individual D (Dad) and ILF (I'd Like To Have Intercourse) scores to arrive at a canonical Ranking of DILFs. As an example, I have started one for the popular "Star Wars" franchise:
A snippet of a spreadsheet listing D-Ratings and ILF-Ratings of characters "Lando Calrissian (old) - 4, 2" "Sheev Palpatine - 5, 2" "Cham Syndulla - 4, 2" and "Din Djarin (helmet on) - 2, 4"

XCOM 2 is *always* a good idea
Screenshot of the XCOM 2 poster mode, with a truly sublime poster of two soldiers: one kneeling in tactical gear aiming a sniper rifle, and the other standing in nothing but sunglasses and short shorts straddling the rifle. Superimposed text says "HIGH CALIBER."

Three-panel comic showing Link and Zelda from Breath of the Wild pressing foreheads together, looking longingly into one another's eyes in the first panel; panels two and three are their extreme close-up perspectives of their views of one another, heavily distorted and ridiculous

Every attempt to move away from this format has been an unnecessary misstep

- this is true for all videogames
- I am too sick to take questions on this
- my beliefs are more powerful than evidence to the contrary
A scan of a 1994 pitch document for the original Diablo, depicting the game's structure: a small surface "town" the player returns to often, near a many-layered "temple/dungeon" the player explores one level at a time, descending ever deeper and further from the town.
