still haven’t played 2.0 but I was looking at art and screenshots and I saw this super early 2000s program and thought they’d be friends with a gridbug. I made it super tiny even though I always saw them as rather big. Seeing them so tiny in Uprising messed with my brain a bit. For some reason I thought they were huge.
YES
love everything about this
I too have been thinking about programs taming gridbugs
and also just had a conversation about how big gridbugs are
1982 never shows them next to a program, but DOES show them spawning out of a gridded area of the ground, at a scale where they WOULD be huge, assuming that grid is the same resolution as the Lightcycle grid or any other gridded area of ground in the movie
and the person I was talking to agreed, & sent me this arcade screenshot of them being about as big as Tron is
…but anyway. they are BUGS. Bugs come in many many sizes. some are tiny. some are huge. some start tiny and become huge. Gridbugs can probably look however you want
