You guys do know you're supposed to reblog things, right
"well i like this post but i'm worried my followers might not" fuck your followers. The entire point of tumblr is to cause irreparable psychic damage to your followers. We are locked in mortal combat on the astral plane. You must win. You Must Win. You Must Destroy Them.

Translated the alphabet used in STRAY
https://imgur.com/a/edxEpIc
NOTE: Mild Spoilers for STRAY. This album contains the chapter headings, so while itās not super-spoilery, itās still going to reveal some details if you havenāt played it to that point yet!
My kid and I have been enjoying Stray thoroughly since it came out, and one of the things we both found fascinating is the language of the society in the game- you see it everywhere, in neon signs, in graffiti, and it really adds to the depth and mystery of this universe.
Both my kid and I are language geeks, me being a narrator and them just enjoying languages in general, so after I casually mentioned that I thought the in-game alphabet for the robots was probably an Aurabesh (Star Wars)-like letter-for-letter replacement of a Latin alphabet, we went to town on trying to figure it out. They mentioned they realized it was a replacement cipher when they saw the opening screen for the āDead Cityā chapter.
Turns out that we wereā¦ mostly right. But not 100%. There IS an alphabet thatās consistent. Itās in the first image you see in this album. However, while we did find a lot of signs that were simply English, there were some that were Latin, and we think there might be a few in French (which would make sense, given that the developers are French).
But it gets a bit weirder. Thereās a bunch of symbols we simply donāt understand because we donāt have a good key for them. We started off with this one by taking screenshots of the chapter headings, which were subtitled in English, using those to get a few characters, then figuring out other characters from context. Weāve got nearly the entire alphabet solved now, but thereās some signs with words using characters that donāt have any correspondence at all to the ones weāve deciphered.
However, nearly all of these are in the ādeadā parts of the city, where thereās signs in English, which could mean these are in Chinese or some language we donāt understand, or maybe theyāre intended to be an earlier version of the language the robots in the city now use.
Thereās also some ācursiveā-like versions of many letters which are more difficult to understand, so some of the signs are much harder to translate. Thereās even some where they mash ideograms together to combine them, which is also interesting.
So hereās the alphabet key, along with a few images weāve provided some captions for. Our working theory is that many of the posters are written in Latin (including some Lorem Ipsum!), then translated to the robot alphabet, but itās possible theyāre in other languages also. Because many of the textures have ādamageā on them, itās frequently difficult to parse all the words, and itās also often hard to tell where spaces go.
But we figure if we put this out there, others can come along and improve on and add to it!
NB: The alphabet key is not totally complete; the letters X and Z are missing, as we still arenāt certain of those ones. (Updated: Z and X are found, and image key updated!) Also, thereās some variations on some letters, and itās possible we made some mistakes. But it works for translating many of the signs and posters. For the translations we used Google Translate, which is probably awful, but better than nothing.
NB Also: The chapter headings sometimes differed from the subtitle in yellow. Where it does, the deciphered text is in white. Where it does not, thereās no white text.
If anyone can offer more accurate translations of the Latin passages, please do!
meemow and momo :)))

sobbing over the humanity of the robots in Stray. they listen to music. they play dungeons & dragons. they have barber shops and bars and play the guitar and write poetry. they get heart eyes when a cat purrs against their legs. there are robot children! robot grandparents! they like comfy pillows and candles and warm blankets and they grow plants in a city that has never seen sunlight! theyāre human and theyāre not and thereās no humans left and theyāre alive. ahhhhhhh
Everyone shut up and look at Lala.
The gangās all here folks!
Edit: proshits do not fucking touch this post is not for you
If youāve never taken the bus as your primary mode of transportation you should know that a ten minute drive is like a one hour bus ride.
And sometimes something just isnāt near a bus stop so youāve gotta take the closest one to it and walk for 20 minutes.
Just something to keep in mind, I guess. Especially if you live in a big sprawling metropolis. Thereās people all around you taking five times as long to get anywhere because they canāt or wonāt drive for whatever reason.
This post isnāt purely to complain. I like taking the bus way more than I like driving. Itās way way cheaper and less stressful for me. But I think a lot of people donāt realize how inaccessible so many things are to those without a car. I canāt just pop over to Costco in the evening. I need four hours in a row completely free to do that. If you want to meet up at a bar on the other side of town in 30 minutes I canāt do that unless youāre driving. I think a lot of folks just donāt know this.
remember like ten years ago when someone did a whole "barbie's proportions on a real human" and everyone was the most freaked out about the fact that her feet were too small for her height so "she would have had to CRAWL on her HANDS AND KNEES everywhere!!! and her head is way too big for her body ahhhhh"
i was like eleven but thatās when i knew all of these performative body positive girl power role model advocates were stupid because none of them thought about how difficult it is to put little plastic shoes on stiff plastic feet and how itās easier if theyāre not idk a doll size 9. and how a big head means a good sized amount of hair for a little girl to brush and play with because she has clumsy little hands and fingers. and how is having a big head and small feet going to give a girl an eating disorder anyway? she canāt make her head bigger. anyway i realized then that all of this was for them, the grown women, and had nothing to do with little girls, how they were growing up, or how they would play with toys lol
Iām pissing with clumsiness and wild abandon
my gay little cat screams and cries if i kick him out of my room he wails and sounds like hes dying and it picks up on my mic and my friends and partners shout "LET HIM IN YOURE KILLING HIM" and i look into his dumb little eyes and know that theres not a single fucking thought behind them
not a thought behind those eyes
i love him. thank you for the serotonin.
OH THERE HE IS FELIX MY BOY
Morally it wouldnāt be wrong toĀ kill pharmaceutical company executives
Book Burning Memorial
āIn the center of Bebelplatz, a glass window showing rows and rows of empty bookshelves. The memorial commemorates the night in 1933 when 20,000 āanti-Germanā books were burned here under the instigation of Goebbels. Thereās a plaque nearby that says something like āWhere they burn books, they will also burn humans in the end.ā ā
Interesting but rarely mentioned: most of the content burned that night came from the Institut fĆ¼r Sexualwissenschaft (institute for the science of sex) headed by Magnus Hirschfeld. The institute and Hirshfeld himself were some of the first to openly campaign for the right to have sex with someone of the same gender, the right to transition if you did not identify with your birth sex and for the general acceptance of queer people. The team had already performed the first SRS operations in Germany and in addition, the institute advocated sex education, contraception, the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, and womenās emancipation. Photographs of the night of the book burning are plastered across history books world wide, but the queer movement that was destroyed that night often goes unmentioned.
reblogging again for that^
Why hasnāt anyone stopped him?
