Tilted Chip t-shirt design

I don't like that font much..  I think I prefer FZERO's more stylised chips too.

That said,  I do think we should avoid associating the Pyra with the word wonky.

FWIW, I think I started calling it the wonky chip in the other thread, but that's just my British sense of humour, so probably not PR-safe. Tilted or askew is a better word for t-shirt use, I think.

I vote for tilted, it sounds better than askew imho.

Tilted works on a few levels, and I am particularly fond of the gaming link.  Askew, doesn't have the right feel, and makes me think too much of Kevin Smith.

Don't do a google search for askew.  It isn't funny.

"Pyra, computing at a different angle"

A more complicated design, directly traced from ED's photos:

This one looks best to me.

Pyra -- PCB Design is Not Tetris.

Which chip is it by the way that is placed at the wonky tilted angle? Would be funny if it happened to be the rotation chip

"Pyra, computing at a different angle"

I like that as a tagline

I hope that chip is the rotation chip too, guess ED or Askarus can tell us

Is that a Pyra in your pocket or are you just wonky?

Thanks for this.  This should have been obvious.  I really like it.

I asked this too.  ED?

I prefer the old one.  This sounds like it is trying to play too nice.  I like the ones that are a little more in your face, or suggest the Pyra is a way to say "screw your rules".

Also, very funny Google, I searched for "tilt" and look what just happened to my browser 

...those guys and there eeggs 

Don't do a google search for askew.  It isn't funny.

I have tried a few more with no success.  Has anyone found others?

 

[Fzero]

I did askew just after I found out the tilt one, same effect.


There is that old barrel roll one

Doesn't that ruin the fun of trying to find them?  It would be like using a book (or other document) that gives you a walkthrough or tells you how to play a game.  I prefer to run around and mess stuff up.  In this instance I was looking only for the tilt/askew type of easter egg.

Next time be more specific.

I like "Do a barrel roll".

I couldn't find a font that looked right, but here are some graphics.

I thought the rotation chip is on the LCD PCB ...

I like "Do a barrel roll".

"Pyra, working and playing until you're wonky"

 

[Granitehead]

I thought the rotation chip is on the LCD PCB ...

Yeah, I fear it's not the rotation chip.

Now that I like.

As for the chip, I think it's a power control circuit for the USB ports.

Yes, I suspect it's the analogue of MW's 'do not touch when live' power regulation dooberries on the Pandora board too.
