@ticky I bet that image looked even more mindblowing on a CRT too, god. D: masteful usage of dithering to blend colours there, dang.
what if flipphone

cute
rounded
flips
comfy in pocket

...
fuck I think we'd need some kind of AR/holographic screen that projected out from it to make it usable and still tiny compact. hm.
...
pre-smartphone mobiles had some rad designs tho. I miss that.
@PsyChuan@snouts.online I wish the game still existed and was playable because I just tried to zoom in and isolate what characters were what but because I'm too far away a lot of the chinese characters, because they're so dense, are too blurred to parse what they might be D:
Dang. think thi sis a bit of a fool's errand :<
@PsyChuan@snouts.online I suspect the out-of-universe explaination is that the korean devs didn't want to make it TOO obvious for native players what that said and wanted to keep it mysterious, so typed something out, translated what they could into random segments of japanese and chinese characters, dotted in some english words here and there, and I guess left some korean in there too.
I'm just getting more curious what it says tho XD
@joshua yeah, looking at this, there's also hangul and kanji in there dotted around. :o
@PsyChuan@snouts.online yeah! There's definitely at least a couple of characters of hangul in there, along with some kanji (the japanese character for fire pops up kinda regularly), and definitely some chinese hànzì in there too!
Which means that the board is likely covered in garbage nonsense or a repeating series of "word salad", like a computer glitching out or something, but getting across some kind of message. That would be v. thematic
@Ivafakename hap birday!
Okay this is a bit of a long shot but...
I used to play GITS: SAC: First Assault Online a fair bit, one of the few online competitive shooters I actually enjoyed tbqh. One of the levels had this weird sign that was covered in chinese writing. Google Translate fails utterly with it, so I wonder if anybody might be able to have a crack at it, or figure out what it might say, as I can find nothing.
honesly squeenix are a corp, so... y'know. Don't trust 'em, but god they have some of the cutest fuckin' mascot creatures in videogaming. Chocobo, Slimes, Rabites, Moogles, fffuck i just... god.
I had a little Rabite charm that dangled from a cute little samsung flip phone I had ages ago but ... aw dang I miss that flip phone now. and being able to have a charm on my phone :<
