@waxpancake interesting responses to your FUI stuff. Years ago I implemented an anime FUI as a DVD menu: plus.google.com/photos/1015233… – 01:18 AM GMT
.@waxpancake the anime series was “Bubblegum Crisis” and the FUI was the UI seen inside the characters’ combat mech armor, or “hardsuits”. – 01:20 AM GMT

.@waxpancake it has always made me wonder about the thought and planning involved in FUIs. Anyway, neat stuff! – 01:30 AM GMT
@waxpancake it was! I was expecting something functionally kin to TOS era blinkylights, but it was more akin to something like LCARS. – 01:34 AM GMT
