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 @[email protected] 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
I can’t say how logical it is, but lore-wise the suit doesn’t actually frame her body proportionately, it’s larger and her feet only go to the shins and her arms only go halfway down the suits arms. The way it moves without 1:1 mechanical input from her body is assumed to probably be related to the “biological” aspect of the suit inside that is made of living tissue and is essentially an extension of her nervous system. Also alien-bird-DNA
There was actually a really old Super Metroid magazine ad which featured a cutaway view of Samus inside the armor and it showed how she fit inside!
You're ignoring the real question.
HOW BALL
It's been like 20 years since I played it, but I seem to remember some logs in Prime referencing the horrific results of Space Pirates trying to replicate the morph ball.
The ball is over a meter / 3ft across
