This is the purple shade of the GCN, and its one of the 'hero' size images available to use, on SteamGridDB. I just liked to grab one image in that size to separate each 'section' in this post.
Its easily available, but I suppose by 'in the wild' you mean picking it up in a secondhand store, rather than online marketplaces. If not, have a look at buyee to pick up a bargain.
Interestingly they command a higher price than I expected on eBay.
I just wanted to have actual, official ones shared!
This one is not official, it was done by a girl who goes by shy smith three years or so ago, she just tried her best to make a photo in the 'style' of the old Y2K era, and the days of PS2 ads and...everyone ended up believing it was real. She did such an amazing job of it, this one often gets shared as if it were done for Sony.
And...to be fair, the actual official ones got way worse than those I included:
Oh this was nothing. My 'news' posts take me some time, and effort, which is why they're kinda on pause right now (the 17th is when I see my specialist, get blood results, see what is next etc), so for now it's this kinda thing - smaller!
There's more, but I suppose...back then shock was a tactic, the gaming industry wasn't as clean cut and commercialized as it is now, and they were appealing to a certain demographic?!
Watch the YouTube video I linked in that section! Its quite short, and it really shows how utterly crazy that era of car racing was. The footage is soooo worth a watch!
If you want to reach out to me for a chat, I'm happy to walk you through what your phone is capable of doing. Emulation is such a scene now, even low-low end phones are capable of doing so much now. You might now be getting winlator running to play PC games (which is no problem for some phones), but you can even play some basic Switch games. Or worst case if it's very underpowered, you've got so many games from the golden age of RPG's to play through
SNES
Mega Drive/Genesis
PS1
...and so on. I know this won't be the "...the games I would otherwise want to play on PC..." but it is still playing incredible games. So, as always, let me know. I'm happy to help with that front!
No, they're not on by default! It's no error, just making it a choice rather than choosing for you.
I'm not surprised by NSL showing errors, being that it was coded with GPT.
Go to the installed game's settings and then turn on cloud saves. It'll have a warning telling you it's basically in beta, but again - it's worked flawlessly for me!
Oh gosh you're way too kind. I wouldn't call it that, but I am happy to share interesting things here. And I'm so lucky that you all read it and agree with me that it is worth the read!!!
I tens to post there daily, and I'm trying to force myself to take a break on my regular long-form gaming news posts on Lemmy, and instead focus on my health. I have a important appointment with my specialist on the 17th so, its 50/50 odds whether I'll make another news post here before then or not
But, again, daily on Mastodon!
And thank you so much for your kind, kind words. I feel like an imposter so often when I share these, so your words are really appreciated!
France did the 'panties' ads, there were three of them all up.
You can find them here
Here is another which has explicit exposure, this one from Chile has exposed breasts, also. And far more obvious to the viewer
