Image transcription: a screenshot of a Twitter post by @YUYA_FUNGAM1. It reads "every time i see this fucking image i think its a yakuza screenshot without fail". Attached is a still from iCarly of a man standing next to a vending machine, his slight resemblance to Yakuza protagonist Kiryu and the third-person perspective of the frame indeed giving the illusion of the still being from a Yakuza game. End transcription.

Okay, I have never even played Yakuza, and only really watched one video of one of the games, and I immediately got the same feeling. It’s uncanny.

I haven't played Yakuza either, so I know exactly how you feel x3

I didn’t even know it was a game and was wondering what the Japanese underworld were screenshotting

I used to be big into Skyrim modding, and there was this mod that added an entire world for screenarchers called "Aethersuite." It immediately made me think of that.

It is bizarrely Yakuza

How Kiryu laughs after secretly camoing in iCarly:

iCarly specifically had so many sets that in retrospect kinda look like something you'd walk past in a Yakuza game.

I literally only know that guy from that tone song (baka mitai), and wow yeah it really looks like that game doesn't it?

I thought this was a Half Life screenshot at first because of the vending machine (I have half life brainrot)

My money's on that being Lewbert and that vending machine blowing the fuck up.
