Here’s mine and @chrismarlow666.bsky.social’s fake promotional shots for a fake post-watershed TV thriller set in the Peak District where there’s been a string of murders, and one of us suspects the other of the crime. Or that’s how we think we look 😏

Happy birthday 🍰 MS-DOS! Born 12 August 1981. To celebrate, why not find one of those rare MS-DOS arcade machines? The aim of the game, just like the real thing, was to free up enough Conventional memory for your Soundblaster AND your CD drive. It's a hoot! 😆 #TillysCabinetOfCuriosities #DosGaming

In 1996, Nintendo was seemingly very fond of a single particular stock photo of the sky, so that it ended up on the cartridge artwork of three different games released in that year: Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Pilotwings 64.

An in-game screenshot from Sea Of Thieves. A player is holding up a piece of parchment titled "Bilge Rats Challenges". In the corner of the screen, a customized green box with yellow text reads "Bilge Rats Challenges. Challenge 1 of 5. Disrupt a Bilge Rats Firework Display on Dagger Tooth Output by vomiting."

Happy 8th Anniversary of #SeaOfThieves! 💚 Here's to many many more, at least to reach the big ten! And a heartfelt Community Weekend :D #Pixelart #Aseprite #art #ドット絵 #BeMorePirate
A large pixel-art piece using primarily teal green colours and blue. The scene shows a gloomy environment with shipwrecked masts in the ground on the left, wedged by the waterfall, and on the right are various derelict stone fortresses and a lighthouse tower atop, bearing various flags. A lone sailor stands on the edge of the stone wall in the foreground. The main focus of the picture is the large portal in the water ahead, showing a bright clear sunny sky on the other side, the sun reflecting off the clear blue water. Text in the upper right, next to the flag, reads "Happy 8 Years!".

It was Conker's Bad Fur Day's 25th anniversary last week, and to mark the occasion @robinbeanland.com, the original composer of that bawdy ordeal, has whipped up a remix of its iconic club music! 'Rock Solid Revitalised' is available now on a bunch of music platforms. Marvellous.
The cheery faces of Conker and Berri, a red squirrel and chipmunk respectively, smile at you over a green grid-like background disappearing into the distance. Title below reads 'Rock Solid Revitalised', and the image also features the logos for Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal and TikTok.
