ok rougelike fiends, is this a screenshot of an actual game or is it a hilarious joke?
( EDIT: this is a (likely altered) screenshot of Rogue by Epyx for Atari ST: https://www.atarilegend.com/games/rogue )
linked post: a GIF of what appears to be a screenshot of a roguelike game. a player character in a horned helmet wielding an axe (named Homer Slugmire: Level 612) is surrounded in some sort of castle courtyard by brown birds, pink slimes, and black bats with pink wings.
a sign near the top of the playing area says "Get the Hell out!"
another sign on the right side of the playing area says "This way to Mordor" with a large right-pointing arrow
there are some status messages at the bottom of the screen:
The slime proposes to you
The kestral couldn't hit s--t
The bat kicked your butt
We're having cutbacks at the plant & you're laid off
