Oh, this is a type of shorthand!

There are 3 main types, but from my research, this looks to be American Gregg Shorthand.

As you can see, there are set symbols for every letter.

Let’s break one of the words down:

Using the Gregg Alphabet as reference, we can see most of the letters in “atrophied” are present. But why no “o” vowel, and why is “ph” written as “f”?

Simple. In shorthand, you cut out all vowels in a word when writing it down, with the exception of words that BEGIN or END with a vowel (hence the “a” at the start being present), or like in the “i” in “atrophied”, to make it more readable when the sound could be harder to distinguish if it isn’t written. In “atrophied” if the the “i” isn’t written, it could be hard to tell if the writer meant a “fud”, “fad”, “fod” or “fid” sound, for example.

Also, since Shorthand is a phonetic writing system, you are encouraged to write down the phonetic sounds of words rather than the actual letter blends - in this case, write an “f” instead of a “ph”.

So in actuality, these aren’t just meaningless scribbles - it’s Gregg Shorthand, a writing system developed to take down notes more quickly than when written out in full, which is very useful in a medical or journalistic environment.

Some people can even write over 100 words in a minute! And, it’s been in use since John Robert Gregg invented it in 1888! Wow! So old!

Isn’t language amazing~?

Okay, brain fart. Had this weird comic idea in my head for a while now…. wanted to humanize the corpus a bit (just so you think twice before nuking that lone crewman quaking in his boots behind cover).  So yeah… sketched it this afternoon and edited it a bit in photoshop (hence the roughness).  Will try to add more to this… time permitting.

There’s a discussion about this, including an explanation, here.

Basically, it seems there’s some bit stuck on zero. Just compare the binary values of the letters:

In “Windows” => “Wandows”:

i = 01101001 a = 01100001

And in “Normally” => “Ngrmadly”:

o = 01101111 g = 01100111

l = 01101100 d = 01100100

You see, in the misplaced letters, the fifth bit is “zero” when you would expect it to be “one”. That’s the difference.

Also, it seems to happen on every fourth letter, but in some letters, we don’t see it because their fifth bit already is zero: “Wandows” has both the “i” (changed to an “a”) and the small “w” affected, but “w” is 01110111, so the bug doesn’t make a difference.

The whole thing is very probably caused by a damaged graphics adapter.

These are exactly the signs and symptoms of a fucked graphics adapter.

Wow I see this picture when I’m stoned like all the time and it makes me laugh every time but it’s so cool to see the actual science behind it

Clean Version:

Figured out how to texture map (roughly), which means i can use my pixel art work on future models.

First on is the full render that was difficult to get it to a size or format for Tumblr to view and post and the second is the “clean version” so that the pixel art could be displayed a lot clearer.
