In addition to being one of my favorite games, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1, 1997) is also one of the most cooperative photography subjects. Very easy to work with. Effortless. What a beauty. I wish every game were this photogenic.

#crt #retrogaming #castlevania

Richter Belmont, seemingly under the influence of some malicious magic spell, unleashes a kung fu werewolf and a shotokan minotaur to attack our hero Alucard. They go absolutely ape shit with special attacks, and Alucard leaps into the fray.

In a twisted nightmare prison depicting the lynching death of Alucard's mother, an evil succubus spreads her leathery bat wings and prepares to attack Alucard after he thoughtfully dispels her magical ruse. Her rude titties and clam are out, but Alucard is unfazed. Nothing he hasn't seen before.

After defeating the parasitic corpse demon Legion, Alucard takes a moment to gather his thoughts amidst thousands of human skulls. His faithful faerie companion rests on his shoulder, knee-highs kicked out playfully.

Finally Alucard confronts Richter Belmont in Dracula's throne room, having solved the mystery of Castlevania. Wearing special goggles, Alucard can see the mysterious green orb, actually the Dark Priest Shaft, that is controlling Richter.

well, it's good that they improved it. the thing it'd cause is overheating, not straight up failure like shorts on laptop motherboards with liquid metal

they look like they are planning a crime, and after looking around the castle, Crazy Dracula might not be a good guy after all..! the more you know

"While you were asleep, the Grand Inquisitor came" Crazy Dracula for the game boy color. crt tv rgb. mGBA on Wii 240p

dracula looking over one of his many stone rooms, with skeletons lying about.

there are.. people under the floor, looking up through the bars? damn, that's dark.

cute game over screen. it's night time behind the castle walls and a metal fence, on a hill there's a grave with "RIP" on the tombstone. a bat spreads out its wings on top of it. more bats are flying in as a large moon shines just behind the bat.

In this clip of a 1995 Computer Chronicles, we not only get some lovely showcases of the PS1 and Saturn, but also brutal honesty from Stewart as he considers console vs PC gaming.

well, it pools down the crystal over time, leaving bare spots up top. just gravity stuff, pretty much just a matter of time from what i watched. it's a shame 'cause it does look cool when propped up

palestinian lesbians once again ✨
{ #art #pride }

Digital art Illustration of two women in a tender embrace in front of a arched window. Both women are Palestinian and wearing elaborately decorated traditional thobes. The woman to the left has a deeper skin tone and a tender smile. Her braided black hair is decorated with silver ornaments towards the bottom.

The woman to the right is wearing a heavy coin headdress that has chains leading down to her waist. Her face has subtle tattoos that match those on her hand.

In the arched window behind them there are palm trees in the distance and foliage that coveres the bottom of the window.

i'd rather go single the rest of my life than have to classify myself as a top/bottom/switch, just the words make me want to puke.

"Are you a top or a bottom?"
"i'm leaving"

"Are you a doll?"
"i'm leaving"

And the danger of that wealth is amplified by the power we've allllowed it to buy.

Power to influence elections.
Power to mold institutions.
Power to move markets.
Power to manipulate media.
Power to punish anyone who tries to challenge or question their power.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

John Oliver is what liberals imagine Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert to be — a genuine critic of America’s systemic failures who stands up for trans people and other marginalized groups, while actually offering real actions and hopeful solutions.

take me to church? more like TAKE ME TO SKYNET BUNKER with Terminator 3: The Redemption on this apocalyptic #ScanlineSunday

PC CRT 512p. Arnold Schwarzenegger as Terminator, pointing his big gun just behind you. YET AGAIN. with a voice-alike actor doing his parts. the amount of one-liners of extreme cheese variety per minute is overwhelming. additionally, the two other film's actors came back to voice this one!

Terminator is throwing a pestering enemy robot over the cover. an airborne machine is in front as Terminator is manning a machine gun

apocalyptic landscape with broken elevated highways. Terminator is riding a robot that looks like that one from Terminator 3 which has a little head and is rolling around shooting everything. ya know the one.

terminator in a helicopter going trigger-happy on a couple of innocent Hunter-Killers that just want to show him some fireworks.
