I think that whether commercial, fan-made or some secret third thing, almost every game contains at least one typo. Here's a judgment-free thread where I'll be collecting them, starting with this one from P.N.03. I like it because even if the typo were fixed, the ending is still abrupt and clunky.
Screenshot from P.N.03 for the Gamecube. A conversation is taking place over a video call between participants labeled "VANESSA," and "CLIENT." A series of arrows at the top indicates that the latter is contacting the former. Vanessa's feed displays a woman with short brown hair, a white jumpsuit, and white goggles reflective orange lenses which obscure her eyes. Client's displays "SECRET | NO VIDEO SIGNAL" Dialogue (Top to Bottom) Client "If your interested in mastering the Energy Drive, press START and go to the Menu screen to find out." Vanessa Z. Schneider "Energy Drive?"

recipe for ganymede brain step 1/100

Screenshot from Threads of Fate (PSX). Mint, a girl with a purple outfit, huge boots and a chakram in each hand, is mid-stride to the right along a stretch of ephemeral pink path. Large, brightly-colored plants and fungi dot the background along with whimsical shapes and giant stars. Dialogue: ["Holy cow! Talk about bad taste..."]

here is a Monster pic for your pet pile. she was desirous of a salty snack today, and not shy about asking for it!
Monster the brown tabby is sitting on a grey wool cat bed with white stars on top of a glass-top computer desk. She's stretching her right-front paw out over the computer's keyboard to touch a large bag of potato chips sitting in front of her, upon which her gaze is fixed.

ok. sounds good. see you later.
Screenshot from "Cocoto Fishing Master" for the PS2 (2007). A blurry, floating woman with devil horns is speaking to an unassuming-looking demon in a boat, against a backdrop of stormy skies and dark waters. The dialogue box takes up nearly the whole bottom-right of the screen and reads "Now you must go to Heaven!" in a blue font, with Heaven displayed in yellow instead.

been a while since I've made a current mood post! today it's slippa from DKC going from their circular midair form to their flat ground travel form.
a heavily cropped screenshot of Donkey Kong Country for SNES, depicting the content described in the body of the post. a stubby red snake with white-bordered black banding is hanging in the air in a U shape, in between circle and line. though its only visible pupil is in the corner of its left eye, it's unclear whether it's walleyed or looking menacingly askance.

the "car veering off the highway" meme. the highway is labeled "Maintaining a healthy lead on RA" and the off-ramp is labeled "Monster Hunter Hyperfixation Hole." my bsky profile pic has been hastily slapped onto the car

Nintendo trying to get to the bottom of who's making switch 2 owners feel stupid:
Still from the hot dog car sketch from season 2 of I Think You Should Leave, impact-font text appended reads "We're all trying to find the guy who did this."

she will bite the plant if unsupervised for even a moment (photo credit @mibetaur.bsky.social)
outdoors on a sunny day. in the foreground, in focus, a potted plant is half in-frame. in the background, much blurrier, Monster the brown tabby sits with her head curiously inclined, staring expectantly at the plant.

crop of a text edit of a control alt delete panel. three characters whose names I refuse to learn are looking at a fourth disapprovingly(I think? it's unclear. ctrl+alt+delete facial expressions, and all that) from top to bottom their dialogue bubbles read "the woods" "teleport to the WOODS" "its woods time for you"

Monster's so pretty! I just realized I haven't posted about her recently, she's still healthy and happy!
An elderly tabby cat sitting in front of vertical wood-board paneling, on a small grey cat bed dotted with white stars. She is sitting up, alert, though her focus seems to be on something off-camera to the viewer's left.

I wish I could explain why I feel so comfortable looking at our extremely lesbian mug wall. maybe it doesn't encompass everything but there's a sort of joy in appropriating two "wifey" mugs from the cishets hobby lobby intended to sell them to. sorry you backwards fucks, it's the WLW mug now
a wall with two shelves and three protruding mug holders visible. a large jar with a wooden lid sits next to some framed landscape drawings, beneath three mugs decorated with the word WIFEY, a picture of Monster captioned "good baby" and a cat decal motif respectively. Beneath the aforementioned shelf, another mug holder is visible; the only mug captured in the shot has wildflowers printed on the side. The third mug holder is to the left of the first, and contains another WIFEY mug, a novelty mug that purports to be from the paleontology department associated with Blathers' museum, and a more rounded teacup-style black mug with a black and white design that evokes the cosmos. Beneath it are half the contents of the other shelf: a small ramekin of salt (plenty spilled near it), a fake succulent in a small jar, and a vial of pure lemon extract.

current mood is panda king's healthbar indicator from the first sly cooper
a very closely cropped screenshot from the Panda King fight in Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. a blurry icon of Panda King yelling angrily is all that's visible.

and they say nothing rhymes with orange
a screenshot from Nine Persons, Nine Hours, Nine Doors for the NDS. A walk-in freezer is depicted on the top screen, along with some text. the bottom screen features a storage area built into the floor, and a thumbnail that suggests the player was last interacting with the rope object. Text: "A storange area built into the floor, like a small cellar."

current mood is rocket the slime bouncing diagonally off an object
closely-cropped screenshot from Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime. Rocket is so squashed that his mouth is between his eyes, having just been launched diagonally down and to the right at a wall in Boingburg.

here is a collection of screenshots from Super Mario 64: Decades Later by BroDute that all have one thing in common. can you guess what it is? hint: it's not something visible in the screenshots themselves.
screenshot from the sweet sweet island course of SM64:DL. mario is about to conclude a flip by landing on a platform adjacent to the mountain's summit overlooking the rest of the stage screenshot from the metal cap course in SM64:DL in which mario is attempting to leap out of rushing water onto a small platform, but is misaligned and about to collide with a vertical girder instead. screenshot from the slide metropolis course of SM64:DS featuring mario going down a slide textured to look like a highway, passing by pools of acid. there are caution signs visible on the upcoming stretch of road, and a blue star is present above the corner of one acid pit screenshot from the ludwig's harbor stage of SM64:DL. Mario is submerged in the fast-moving water on the outside of the stage, seemingly moving towards a visible blue star

Found this pic of Monster from ten years ago
Monster the brown tabby sits at a vantage point above the camera, staring down at it distantly, her eyes round and a little wild.

Monster the brown tabby curled up in a wicker basket lined with a light blue blanket facing away from the viewer, directly in a bright sunbeam.
