it's fun and easy to share :)

In a world full of SERIOUS BUSINESS ALL THE TIME it’s nice to see something decide to be fun for the sake of it. It’s a cool digital homage to cartridges, which are basically also rectangles with cool graphics on them that run a game.

I would be fun to be able to take a picture of the png and have it load up the application. I know it’s more of desktop thing.

But even emailing scripts for work got flagged. This png format would probably avoid that.

Also good thing it’s lossless. Other wise those multiple save jpg artifacts could cause interesting bugs.

There's a whole subculture that embraces glitches in gaming, graphics, etc. Folks run around collecting screenshots and videos of these ephemeral artifacts. It's fairly complementary to speedrunning gaming culture.

Reminds me of the time they would distribute tape deck based software via the radio.
