ELI5 ?

They 3d printed the save icon

Honestly I haven't even seen it used as a save icon in a long time

I see it fairly often though usually in indie games with retro aesthetics.

I wonder how long it will be before this is known by everyone as a save icon instead of a floppy disc

I had this on the 5 1/4" disk. The kind that actually was floppy.

I never finished that damn game lol. I should probably give it another go one of these days.

I never figured out what the eventual goal was. I remember solving various puzzles, like opening the gates to hell, getting through the maze of twisty passages, killing the troll, etc. But I don't remember ever figuring out what the win condition was supposed to be.

You can carry it around in your phone nowadays!

I have an immense urge to fwap the little metal thing back and forth until my mom tells me I’m wrecking it.

I went through a phase in middle / high school where grues were constantly appearing in any story or program I made... Great times
