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

I’m the real estate agent that sells obviously haunted houses to nice white families that want to get away from it all.

I would like to give you my business. I’m tryin to die penniless and leave nothing but a found footage film to my kids in the will

Then oh boy, do I have the forest cottage for you! Far from anyone that could help you, it has a gorgeous view of a lake where dozens of people have gone missing. There’s a rumor of a killer that raises from the water, but this place has an excellent porch

Is there a small, dark washing room in the basement corner that’s at least ten degrees colder than the rest of the house? That’s a must.

the-quasar-hero

Yes. And there’s a latch window that always seems to swing open in the middle of the night.

Wonderful! I especially love how cell receptionist patchy at best, making any attempted outgoing call to the police as dramatic as possible.

I think you’ll also love how it’ll immediately become pitch black as soon as the clock strikes 5:00 pm no matter the time of year. There’s also no stars for some reason.

Did the previous owner leave any religious iconography that could slowly appear to distort and corrupt over time, or will I need to furnish that myself?

the-quasar-hero

Let’s just say I definitely didn’t put these area rugs here myself to cover a few ornate symbols drawn in blood 😇

You’ve got a sale!

This post deserves so many more notes. I could not breathe the other day trying to read this out loud to my mom it was so fucking funny

You know the main problem with the “live action” Lion King? Why it looks so lifeless?

The hyper realistic style is actually limiting the animators, rather than freeing them. The style makes it much harder to have memorable character designs and good expressions. Real lions don’t need to do things like emote in a way that humans can understand – but characters in a film do. The original movie was more cartoony not due to animation limitations of the time, but because that style genuinely serves the story better.

To show you what I mean, compare these two shots of Simba, from right after Scar says “run away and never return.”

Here is a clear reaction, with a strong beat for us to connect with before the character makes a decision. Even without any dialogue, even without any context, you can understand the emotion there just by the expression and the mannerisms. Is it realistic? No! He’s bright yellow and has eyebrows. But do we empathize with him? Yes!

Meanwhile, here is… a lion. Turning and running. No expression, no beats, no character moments, nothing. He actually can’t express himself because the animators are locked into the realistic style. If they tried to animate a strong expression as warranted for the scene, it would look terrible. Is it realistic? Hell yeah! Look at those textures! Look at that fur! But do we empathize with him? …nah. Not really.

To conclude: when you’re retelling Hamlet with a bunch of animated lions, cartoonish-ness is your friend, not your enemy.
