I’m sorry I can’t let this go. It’s an identity DISC. It’s a DISC. Not an identity TRIANGLE. Identity DISC with a C, as in circle. Not a disk, as in diskette. It’s supposed to be a circle! WHY does it look like a traffic sign!
I hear what you’re saying, but also, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of shaped compact discs.
aaaaaaa
I love how this really throws a wrench in the whole folk-etymology idea that that “discs” are round and “disks” are square (but then that already didn’t make sense, because a floppy disk is also round, it just has a square case around it to facilitate insertion into the Machine)
but anyway what is with these irregular shaped Discs. How.
… how does it WORK can the lasers only read the parts out to a certain point or do they have some way to read the protruding bits too
…i remember tiny CDs (once had a digital camera that used them) they could be played on a regular sized cd player they just left a lot of empty space in it…. maybe it’s like that but with some purely decorative additions around the outside?
Okay I have to look some things up now hahaha

But…..the circle looks so cool, and it’s better for throwing at people!
Yeah that’s the main reason why I agree it especially doesn’t work to have non-circular discs in this movie.
Because apparently the programs are gonna be fighting in the User world. And their weapons therefore HAVE to follow user world physics.
And a circle is just… better for throwing. It just is.
