the mention of difficulties with the new color space is interesting to me, given that evidently RGB was already annoying enough that modern browser dev tools come with color pickers
A cropped Firefox screencap. A color picker is displayed, stemming from a line of CSS being viewed in the browser's dev tools.

LMAO I KNEW I HAD COME ACROSS IT SOMEWHERE

maybe we absolutely deserve an annoying tutorial character if enough people had missed this kind of thing literally showing up after getting a fucking weapon
A screenshot from Prime 2. Pertinent to the conversation is that there's a message at the top telling you how to get ammo for the Light Beam, a thing that Tanabe insists was something not communicated in-game

okay but seriously the game cutting to a shot of the moth-alien's corpse framing his hologram talking to Samus as he says that he wished he can join her to redeem his honor in battle is absolutely nuts and Prime 2 is fucking Peak
shit like in the foreground a moth-alien's corpse lies, staring aimlessly at the sky. in the background, his bright blue auto-recorded hologram floats, almost even looking like it's coming out of the corpse's chest, as Our Lady Samus looks on at the camera.

I think it's even more apparent when you have the Dark Suit, which has lining on the sides that I personally find evocative of, like, the detailing between a really buff guy's ribs in illustrations

the load-from-save animation is ALSO EXTREMELY GOOD

the Prime 2 save animation is just. absolutely fucking killer. two decades later I still get this giddy feeling in my chest every time. she's so fucking cool. there's so much personality in a simple 10-second animation and she is just SO COOL, go blow them up queen!!

Z-A is a fantastic game because I can be a hot goth having tea and a pastry with my giant flower dinosaur in Fantasy Paris
A TV photo of a cute goth girl with slicked back black hair sitting at a table outside with a steaming cup of tea and a saucer with some kind of tart. A BRIGHT GREEN apatosaurus with hibiscus petals growing out of the base of its neck happily stands next to the table.

also, it never stops being funny sharing scenes where one participant is a lavishly-rendered furry thing, and then my guy is decked out in gear from 2012 LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
a very soft-looking brown bipedal cat holding its...paw... (it has an opposable thumb??) up like he's doing a high-five. he's wearing a very-fluffy looking like. ushanka. hat with a cat paw embroidered onto it. yours truly, my guy who never stops aura-farming, the dragon guy wearing bright white dragon armor smithed by catholic elves, and also the textures are from like two generations ago so they're all stretched and blurry and shit. He's looking down (because this man is very tall) and smiling.

I am, indeed, a sucker
Two orders of burger king Vampire Nuggets and an order of Mummy Mozzarella fries on a plate. The vampire nuggets, still unopened, are in stylized coffins. The fries are in a box printed to look like it's wrapped in anointed linen with cartoon eyes peeking through

Clancy Brown, best for voicing random dragons in Spyro the Dragon
A screenshot from the Playstation video game Spyro the Dragon. Rendered in somewhat primitive graphics is a red bipedal dragon with his left paw raised, as he is in the middle of talking.

A buff and scarred woman, with her hair covering one eye and the other visible and glowing, and most of her face covered by a purple mask, takes up a third of the screen. The textbox identifies her as Hecate, Witch of the Crossroads. BARK

BRO I AM UNSURE IF THIS IS SPOILERS OR NOT BUT THAT MOROS PORTRAIT IS GONNA MAKE ME FERAL
I CANNOT DESCRIBE TO YOU HOW LIKE ONE OF THE PRETTIEST MEN YOU CAN IMAGINE IS RENDERED AND TAKING UP A THIRD OF THE SCREEN. HELP ME. (but seriously, an extremely pretty and very shirtless dark-skinned man with long hair, some of which is draped over his antlers, is contentedly looking to the right in 3/4ths profile. The text box identifies him as Moros, Doom Incarnate, and he is stating "...To think that such a place is hidden here...")

"DEATH!!"
a drawing of Marowak, a bipedal...lizard...thing...wielding a bone in its right hand, astride a Ponyta, a horse that is on fire. At the bottom, the most cross-eyed yet happy tadpole you have ever imagined.

oh yeah, also Fire Stronk. having the fire split + send homing arrows out + always constantly proccing Selene by just holding the attack button down is so delightfully busted. reminds me of the Literal Fucking Gun from the first game.
the Hades II victory screen for defeating Chronos. there's a lot here to type out without hurting myself, so basically the gist is that the Flames + Dividing Blaze + Summoning Things + Making your Hold The Attack Button to Win stronger just melts things. Clear t ime of 26:17.58, but this was the first time I had ever done it so.

a little bipedal bunny, like, the cutest bunny, in the middle of doing arm stretches, with a text bubble above their head stating "I'll be strong enough to carry fifty carrots! No--one *hundred* carrots!"

dear reader you will notice that this "helpful" tooltip is pointing to a property on an id literally assigned to a table tag. firefox.............
A hover tooltip stating "border-collapse has no effect on this element since it's not a table. Try adding display:table or display:inline-table". The tooltip is pointing to a border-collapse property on an id of #calendartable. The eagle-eyed will notice that DIRECTLY ABOVE THAT is something that says "Inherited from table#calendartable", showing that this id is literally attached to a table tag and is thus LITERALLY A TABLE

whatever latest update of firefox broke the......tabs filling in empty space part that absolutely worked last night. it's fine. lmao.
A very long screenshot of a Firefox tab bar, in which the slightest little bit of an actual tab is shown on the left, followed by a ton of empty space to the right of it, with the add tab and list interface buttons to the right of that.

he's so fucking tiny
A screenshot from the hit game FFXIV that I got from my discord chat history because it lives rent-free in my head, where the relevant thing being that tiny elf boy alphinaud, who is at this point a world-renowned, like, diplomat, is so small that in this shot just the top half of his face is visible, because the person he's speaking too is a seven foot tall dragon man
