whatever you call this art style - PS2 era medium-poly characters with hand-made highly detailed but also somewhat blurry textures with baked-in lighting - I absolutely love it and it makes me want to drop everything and make games

Yes, of course our giant From Software promotional archive - https://archive.gamehistory.org/folder/4d999ce2-81f1-45fe-b103-f50a00e8283f - includes a Metal Wolf Chaos sticker which is just as gonzo as the game.

a picture of a Konami Python 2, which is composed of a literal, entire, retail PlayStation 2 console, case and all - exactly the same unit as you'd buy at a store. the PS2 is surrounded by some custom boards, and framed inside a metal box (meant to go inside an arcade cabinet). it looks ridiculously funny.

the Konami Python 2 will always be the peak of mid-2000s arcadejank to me

imagine being an arcade tech back then, and you finally receive the kit to upgrade your cab from DDR SuperNOVA to SuperNOVA 2, so you open the case to get at the disc drive, and you're met face-to-face with this:

An image that reads: "Passing The Buck: Deflection of Ethics & Compensation by AI Voice Clone Companies" With the subtitle: "Just pay your damn singers when people pay you. Is it that hard?" The background is a photo of a dimly lit NAMM Show panel room, with silhouetted attendees and panelists obscured by static.
