Slightly tangential, but while watching it I was reminded of Total Refusal's Hardly Working

Hardly Working sheds a limelight on the very characters that normally remain in the background of video games: NPCs. They are non-player characters that populate the digital world as extras to create the appearance of normality. A laundress, a stable boy, a street sweeper and a carpenter are observed with ethnographic precision. They are Sisyphus machines, whose labour routines, activity patterns as well as bugs and malfunctions paint a vivid analogy for work under capitalism.

motion capture actress 曦曦鱼sakana shows how npc moves in early games, common games and next-gen games.

Considered "lost media" for a while, Compu Movie by Osamu Sato has just been digitised and uploaded on Youtube and Archive.org.

Sato is better known for writing the music of LSD Dream Emulator.

That's a.. curious one.

All these "very-heavy" pics (that all happen to be much lighter than the screenshot of this homepage on Tumblr) are tiny images from Mahoromatic. I have no idea if the titles refer to something in the anime.
