Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm not even willing to enable screen lock so I can read this.

Hello there! I am the Wandering Wookiee. My passion for exploring takes me all over the galaxy, so when on your travels, be sure to keep an eye out for me!

Well sure, the easiest way for them to make a passable "language" was probably just to make a new font. Iirc you can also just talk to them with a droid or a character who knows wookie though.

Oh I know, but I didn't have a droid at the time and I was stubborn lol

Wandering wookie says "I am the wandering wookie". This is essential information.

I'm disappointed it didn't say.

"Drink more Ovaltine !"

Lots of games do this. I remember finding the chart to read the text in Commander Keen about 30 years ago.

i'm glad somebody got the reference.

(i assume the people downvoting my comment only know the word as an alt-right thing and are unaware of its earlier etymological journey which makes it a relevant response to this thread. in fairness, I'd forgotten how far they went with it in 2016 until I just read that wowpedia page 😬)

Like Pepe and the swastika, it was sadly co-opted by Nazis and now that's the first thing people think of.

When does he say that?
