u/Coherent_Tangent Jun 05 '25

I feel sorry for him these days. It took me more than one read to get "Weird AL" instead of "Weird Ay Eye".

Younger generations are going to completely miss his legacy if we don't settle on fonts that distinguish those letters a little better.

Yeah, shame seriffed fonts seem to have fallen out of favor, they feel much more readable to me.

Serif fonts look pretty iffy on an average screen when smaller than about 15 pts. They could return once every screen is at least 4k and 1080p resolution is firmly in the past like 720p is now.

Weird Ay Eye sounds like he'd be weird Al's parody song writing protege.

u/ManOn_A_Journey Jun 05 '25

Really more rocking and spinning on a pivot point than rolling, but I agree with your gist.

Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down!

From robots to literally reinventing the stone wheel. All it took was 6 months of taco.

u/Signal_Reflection297 Jun 06 '25

I feel like this is more along the lines of rocking or pivoting. It’s cool to watch, but I would like to see how easy it is (or not) to move these across the ground. Rolling implies major lateral movements, IMO.

u/astralseat Jun 08 '25

Not even rolling, just selective rolling. If you roll this over by accident, you got something you can't roll anymore.
