Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town is a pleasant, relaxing little farm simulation game, where players can gently explore a town, raise livestock, and have a lovely old time.
Every now and again, though, you'll have to wait through a loading screen - and loading screens are boring! They're just a blank image most of the time, or worse, a black screen. But XSEED is one step ahead, folks - they've decided to show the photos of other people playing the game, so you have something nice to look at.
In theory, anyway. In practice, it's more like this.
That's pretty fun, isn't it? Makes you think that maybe our title is a little bit over-dramatic. Hey, let's have some more of those goofs!
Wow, talk about making loading screens fun again! What else have people documented?
Oh. Oh no.
Poor Nguyen! He can't help that he's so much shorter than all the women in town...
Does Olive Town have a jail?
...Yup.
We can only imagine that XSEED expected their players to be a little more exacting with their photos. It could even be that some of these photographers didn't, erm, expect their photos to be splashed across the loading screens of thousands.
Have you been treated to any... interesting loading screen photos? Tell us about them in the comments.

I'm so disappointed and proud of humanity at the same time.
Not surprising, people will be people. What is surprising is that they decided to illustrate the fox's butthole in the first place.
These end up in other people's loading screens? That's amazing hahaha
I have the online features turned off as I know people are freakshows.
Just wait for Resident Evil 8 to come out.
I think it's hilarious. Either you get a cute scene of someone's farm, or you get a bonkers photo.
I love it. Makes me want to get the game just for this.
Someone on here was very excited about taking photos of Pokemon butt in the new Pokemon Snap. 👀
@Yanina I was thinking the same thing.
When you said in the article "Does olive time have a jail" All I thought was the "Go to horny jail" meme
@Clyde_Radcliffe Ahem, it’s a completely valid subsection of wildlife photography. Bumtography.
This was always going to end poorly.
Man....
If only i saw a shirtless dude. 😁
How long before they release a patch to disable the feature?
@nessisonett
Psst...
I will hunt some Pokemon's butt for New Pokemon Snap. 😂
"kinda sus if you ask me"

I refuse to believe they didn't see every part of this coming. There has never been a global anything on the internet that has not been abused by someone.
I think xseed just raised the rating of the game to rated R.
@Clyde_Radcliffe
Yup.
It's me. 😆
First rule of humanity.
Anything new that is discovered by humans, can also be ruined by humans.
Now if they can just flip things around, so the game is taking photos of boobs, butts and crotches, and I get to do some farming while it loads, they might have a customer.
I think I know where this goes. Once the creators get enough of these, they're going to start curtailing or eliminating the ability to use them.
These are fantastic LOL
The thumbnail looks like the MCP from Tron!
Now this is my type of article
@TheFullAndy why wait? The internet already got that and back
Then there’s the fact NLife decided to make an article about this.
How many people are purposely finding ways to sit through a loading screen just to get a good one?
Maybe I'm weird, but I mostly noticed that it looks like the lady in the leg photo is being impaled by the back of the chair.
Flashbacks to Bobs Burgers.
How could anyone not expect this outcome?
If the people that took some of those pics didn't read that it would appear in other player's load screens makes this funnier.
I saw that creepshot several times in my session tonight and just knew I would be reading about this soon. It does kind of ruin the vibe.
Emilio's bulge is um.. satisfying. That is all I have to say on this matter.
I've seen some great photos of peoples farms etc and then I've seen a LOT of animal butts lol
When you're given options to do things that are otherwise uncouth, disrespectful, and even illegal, it's not hard to imagine the immediate decisions some make to express them in a game where nothing is of cost. Like murder.
Hell, it's why the penguin meme of Mario 64 started. Nothing in the game says you SHOULDN'T toss the penguin off a cliff, quite the opposite.
We did it cause there was freedom to do it.
Ahahahaha.
LOVELY.
Yes I'm that kind of weird...
This reminds me of playing ZSS on the Miiverse stage in Sm4sh.
Yep. So many frigging crotch shots. I've run into almost all of the ones featured in this article AND more.
Y'all are obscene. 🤣
I...really don't get why this is supposed to be a problem?
Oh well...
