Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.
This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.
The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.
- All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
- Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
- If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
- MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
- No generative AI art.

MODERATORS
Can't play it with emulators? Input on most emulators should be completely lag-free.
I might have used the wrong emulator or maybe the lag is with my wireless controller. Will try DuckStation with my wired controller. I don't have any wired headset so I might have to just play it on speakers.
Finally, hopefully my body and brain doesn't lag too much.
This is 100% your issue, rhythm games are unplayable with wireless audio.
Ok
I always have issues with games like Celeste that require pixel-perfect coordination on a wireless controller. I do think they come with a little bit of lag baked in.
I don't recall having any issues when I did a brief session just to show the game to someone that never heard of it.
One thing that comes to mind is a time when I couldn't get stepmania playable at a friends place but it turned out the sound was going from gpu hdmi to tv to sound bar via bluetooth and switching to pc 3.5mm jack to sound bar directly brought the audio latency down to less than the TVs visual latency and it had to be adjusted the other way.
