@efi fiddle fidoodle, you shall be squeezed like a noodle
@devurandom@cybre.space yeah, I realised this after giving it more than a few seconds of thought
@devurandom@cybre.space it appears that I'm wrong about landscape pages – when people in china invented books, they used similar page proportions to modern books.
@devurandom@cybre.space hmm, true
@devurandom@cybre.space on the other hand, though, I think books would probably be differently shaped if they originally came from a society that had vertical text — more landscape pages, possibly? — and that would influence the way people designed technology
@devurandom@cybre.space although status bars would probably be vertical too, so the same tricks apply
@devurandom@cybre.space that's ok!
I think it's a good thought

In just a few days, right after I finish tabling at Play Fare this Saturday, you'll be able to purchase the Tome of Rites and Rituals, a roleplay aid filled with evocative descriptions of magical ceremonies from a strange land. It's a good read.

I would love to see the alternate universe where top-to-bottom in columns going left to right writing systems dominate, where wikipedia looks like this:

I need you to know that @MochiWaifu is making this game look perfect #gamedev
the answer appears to be "it displays it horizontally anyway"
Does it work inside a toot itself:

(apologies if things break when I test this in a few moments)
I wonder what happens when you put vertical text in a mastodon username...
