    But the words AREN'T fine, bridge dweller. The words are nonsense with one set accidentally making a mispelled word.
    The letter clusters have semicolons and other punctuation in them, for smurf's sake.
    Consider how can a Japanese developer type correct Greek characters? I don't know how, either. It takes a while to find out which number to enter a specific Greek character.

    He obviously didn't have enough time to find out how or else the project's deadline will get delayed, so instead, he puts identical characters and that's about it.

    He can DRAW THEM, and overlay the bitmap over a mesh repeatedly. Textures over meshes is how you make 3D images, after all.

    And the characters aren't 'Identical' at all. They are random and nonsensical with punctuation inside them. Seriously, reread scrumpleberry's post, chewtoy.

    Okay, Ryushikaze, time to stop it with the names. I'm sure your arguments work even without belittling people, no?

    I'm not trying to belittle him with my nicknames, but if you insist, I'll try and reign it in.

    Maybe it's a made up language and it says "Someone on an Internet forum post a thread about what this says."

    Woooow, really? Whoever was responsible for that texture must have had a robotic arm to draw the text, since the lines of the text look almost perfect!

    Have you got evidence that the characters are not identical? If not, then let our opinions speak for themselves.

    Just because I put something that outputs absolutely nonsensical; unintentional or not, doesn't mean it becomes absolutely meaningless.

    MSPAINT, Serapy. Copypaste letters randomly.

    Yes. Yes it does. Nonsense, especially intentional nonsense, has no meaning. A nonsense phrase is a meaningless phrase.

    I seriously don't get the appeal of arguing with Serapy about stuff like this. I mean....just read his posts, then look at his avatar. It all speaks for itself XD

    They used MSPAINT to draw textures? Pro!

    They added Latin words with the wrong sentences on Ultimecia's paintings. Was that intentional nonsense too?

    Have you got evidence they are not and are and are not and are? If no, then your counter-counter-claim is baseless.
