And M*A*S*H (including a stencil version for the larger type). Cooper Black was *everywhere* in the '70s and '80s, and it was great.
Screencap from S3E11 of MASH, "Adam's Ribs". It's a wide shot of the 4077th compound, with staff going about various activity, including one person practicing their golf putt. The title, in yellow Cooper Black, reads "Produced by Gene Reynolds and Larry Gelbart." The two producers' names are in all caps, with lines cut out of them to create a stencil version of the font.

How it started // how it's going
A pristine printed copy of Enigma Heart's screenplay sitting on a desk, with only the front cover showing. It's been three-hole punched and secured with brass brads. A white 1990s computer keyboard is in the background. A ballpoint pin sits on top of the script. Next to the script is a blue mug adorned with a rainbow colored heart and the words "LOVE IS LOVE", and it's filled with coffee.The same script, open to page 81. Spoilery text has been obscured, but the page still shows numerous edits in pen. A sea of pink tabs mark the location of edits on the preceding pages.

In Instagram post by Macklemore. It reads:

Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words "Free Palestine" and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, "I don't take sides."

Name a TV show with 2 or fewer seasons. Napoleon Dynamite was better than it had any right to be, and it was killed only six episodes in, right as it was hitting its stride.

A screenshot from Frank Stallone's Instagram? Threads? Something. Anyway, it's an AI render of him and his brother Sylvester boxing. Frank Stallone's caption reads: "My friend did an AI rendition of my brother and I in Rocky 3. Most people don't know I fought Mr. T and Sly in the montage scenes in Rocky 3. It's cool but I think AI will eventually be the ruination of humanity as we know it."

This is one of those scenes where I realized Zalia was teaching me about herself just as much as I was writing her. Offering a hug, having it turned down, and rolling with it because she has empathy instead of acting hurt about it, told me all I needed to know about her.
Marla: Yeah, he's a sweetie.
(beat)
Marla: I really am sorry for putting you through all that. I know people around here think I'm strange. And I suppose I am. I haven't quite felt like me since my dear husband passed away.

Zalia: I'm so sorry, Marla. How long were you together?

Marla: Oh goodness... fifty-two years?

Zalia: Hard to be without someone for that long. I'm so sorry.

She extends her arms, as if offering a hug.

Zalia: Need a hug?

Marla: No, that's alright, dear. Hugs aren't really my thing. Thank you for the sentiment, though.

Zalia: Any time.

Screengrab from the Svengoolie broadcast of "Village of the Giants". It takes place in Genius's (Ron Howard) lab. Svengoolie's face fills the entire open doorway, as if he's been gigantified. My local MeTV station has placed a Wawa Hoagiefest banner ad in the lower right corner of the screen.

Filling this in turned out to be more depressing than I expected lol
"US Level" map, where you assign a color (and a corresponding number of points) to a state indicating where you've lived, stayed, visited, stopped, passed, want to be there, or never been there. I've lived in six states, visited four, passed through or stopped in a small handful of others, want to be in either Washington or Oregon, and a huge swath of the country -- most of it, in fact -- is blank, as I've never been there.

The NES port of Ultima 3 made me trans.
Two version of the Paladin sprite from Ultima: Exodus for NES. One is the standard 16x16 field sprite, and the other is a much larger, more detailed version shown on the party select screen. The character is a paladin, decked out in pink-and-white armor, with pink hair worn in pigtails with a center part, and a fabulous heart-shaped shield.

[Curator's name omitted so as not to start shit; if this gets boosted, I'm deleting it] $217 participation fee, why? So you can refer to me as "this indie developer" and (if I happen to make your top five) omit my name from the video description because you want to bump your watch time? No thanks 💅
Part of an email from an indie-games Steam curator/YouTuber:

Participation Fee

    Application is free.
    If selected, a fee of US$217 per game (paid via Stripe) confirms your spot. 

This ensures a fully curated and committed lineup, allowing for a smooth, high-quality showcase that maximizes visibility for all participating titles while supporting the production and coordination behind the eventPart of a YouTube video description, with timestamps, the name of the game, and link to the Steam page. Except the top five slots simply say "number 5," "number 4", etc., instead of listing the title of the game.

Screenshots from the original DOS demo. It ran in mode 13h: 320x200 resolution, with non-square pixels, and at only 35hz -- half the VGA's native framerate of 70. It'll be fun to re-imagine for modern systems at 360p60.
Character selection screen in Acronia. Most of the text is in glowing neon green on dark green with scanlines, evoking old terminal monitors. Roslyn is the currently-selected character out of five possible playable characters: Allie, Roslyn, Dad, Harry, and Buddy. Her full-length portrait shows her standing at the ready with a shotgun.Side-scrolling scene in Acronia. It's rather chaotic, with several monsters, including one mutant and two Hopsis, running up a sloped platform toward Roslyn. There's a teleporter behind her. The level is industrial, full of yellow-and-black striped hazard tape, pipes, and diamondplate.Side-scrolling scene in Acronia, showing another player character, Allie, standing inside an office complex. There are potted plants, plush chairs, and carpets. A mutant has fired a plasma ball at Allie, and it doesn't appear she'll have enough time to duck under it.Side-scrolling scene in Acronia. Another player character, Harry, a huge, beefy man with blond hair, stands in an office complex, in the reception area. There's blood everywhere, and a dead worker slumped over their desk. There's an open closet, American flags, lamps, a checkered floor, and a bulletin board. A sign on the back wall reads "ACRONIA - Campus 12, Sengana"

Hey #ScreenshotSaturday! It's more simplistic than my original vision of a full personal diary for Zalia (and I definitely want to implement that in the full game) but here's the quest log! Available later tonight at store.steampowered.com/app/2986980/... Follow @hadrosaurus.net for more updates!

It has a list of quest objectives: currently, investigate the Brygate grain mill to see why the bridge is out, investigate a strange adventurer's claims of hearing a dragon in the mountains south of Brygate, and look for a missing girl named Penny.

I feel like this screengrab from #HouseOfSvengoolie is a caption contest in the making.
Screengrab from an episode of House of Svengoolie. IMP is looking at the viewer with a wide-eyed expression. Nostalgiaferatoo is scowling at the viewer. And Gwengoolie is making an "OK" gesture with her fingers while looking off-camera and smirking, sorta. The bottom half of the scene is shrouded in a white foggy mist.

In the corner of the screen is the MeTV logo bug and also the text "Activate Windows: Go to Settings to activate Windows." The Windows stuff is from my end, not part of the broadcast.
