en garde, miscreant! prepare to have your splines reticulated!
@codl i remember it being said by a sexy woman's voice, but I don't know where or when
@batterpunts @codl I know! SimCity 2000!
@batterpunts @codl well specifically it was a woman's voice saying "reticulating splines" in a very sultry fashion.
I only remember it because it was super weird that it always happened whenever I booted the game up, but the pc i had it on was pretty quick, so I thought it was actually MEANT to say all the things it was saying as it loaded up and "reticulating splines" was the only thing it managed to say in time.
@batterpunts @codl on reflection though I am 99% sure Maxis put that voice clip in there just because "Reticulating Splines" means fuck all and they just liked the sound of it .
@batterpunts @codl *does the spongebob Imaaaaginaaation hand guesture thing* A-D-H-D!
@batterpunts @codl oh reticulation is definitely real. so are splines.
...the act of reticulating splines though? That isn't real lol
@Nine @batterpunts it's real to me 😔
@batterpunts @codl display names are the best way of archiving weird secrets, easter eggs and silly little injoke things in media
@Nine @codl oh wow it was really in a game, I was thinking of simcopter, or some random joke wav I had at the time
