"...Astounding Science Fiction (October 1953) whose cover art depicted a giant intelligent robot holding the dead body of a man. The caption read: 'Please... fix it, Daddy?' to illustrate the story 'The Gulf Between' by Tom Godwin." The inspiration for the album cover for Queen's News of the World. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_of_the_World_(album)#Artwork_and_packaging

Snippets of text in random 90s Microsoft WordArt styles: "FFXi Weather" "shrug" "The rain in La Theine falls mainly on the plains" "Why am I using WordArt?" "And that's the report, straight from Vana'diel's official weather linkshell."

my ball is trapped inside the bumper but i must score
Upper half of the Super Android table from Epic Pinball. Player 1 is on Ball 1 with a current score of 55,365,000, with the "BASIC IO" objective complete. I.Q., which is earned by hitting the two bumpers in the upper right of the table after completing BASIC IO, is now 1198 and continuing to go up, because the ball is stuck inside the right bumper. The game is soft-locked yet I.Q. can only keep going up at this point.

The a scan of the manual cover for Kohan: Ahriman's Gift by TimeGate Studios, with the Loki Entertainment logo added in the upper left. Loki Entertainment developed and published the Linux port of Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns, and declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy not long after.

oh no

we were warned

we didn't listen
Jessie at the AVALANCHE secret hideout during the beginning section of Final Fantasy 7 (2013 Steam re-release): "Think it was all because of my bomb? But all I really did was just make it like the computer told me." News reports about a recent explosion blare out of the television as the reporter tries to assure the populace that they are safe and secure and the perpetrators will be caught.

It's Hoo Mjuu the Torrent from FFXI. A black-feathered Yagudo standing in a small pool of water in a rocky area. Hoo Mjuu is a white mage but was heavily farmed back in the day for a staff coveted by up-and-coming bards and beastmasters.

I think the odds of having a PS2 screenshot/video of "thunderstorm (2x thunder) in Vunkerl Inlet [S], and a specific lightning effect has gone off and is visible in the sky" is near zero, but I feel like this is not the intended effect
A mithra named Velyn, wearing Geomancer artifact armor and an Epeolatry with a glowing fishing rod, is fishing on a bridge in the middle of the night during a thunderstorm. There is a large black void in the sky that was caused by lightning, which seems counterintuitive.

i wouldn't be able to fish facing this way, but i could turn to the left a bit and cast to the side of the boat

A final fantasy xi cat girl named Velyn stands inside her mog house, in front of some fishing furniture (stall, sign post) and a harpsichord. The harpsichord is from one of the soundtrack cds, if I remember correctly. The mithra is dressed in fishing gear and a Moogle Cap.

It's Velyn... but Dracthyr? Or maybe it's just a mithra in a Final Fantasy XI Bahamut costume...

a screenshot snippet of final fantasy xi, inside heaven's tower. a bulletin board with some notices posted. the writing is intentionally intelligible as it was never intended to be read, but the artwork here fulfills its goal of being decoration. the screenshot snippet is from an instance of ffxi running at a higher resolution than for which the game was originally developed. I stole this from a youtube stream. It's the same bulletin board from the previous snippet but it has been AI slopified. "This is all you right now?" [Inintellible] "Impressive." The bulletin board postings are closer to gibberish now. It appears one of the posts has the headline "MAMOS - BELONICO SUDOKS" in Latin script. This particular post is extremely more "in focus" than the others. There's an dear imgui-based status bar at the top of the image. grok how do i make ui that doesn't look like programmer art?
