#rectanguloid

[kaasiand]

I've been thinking a lot about Splatoon sponges today and how their large rectanguloidal shape actually kind of sucks because of how much it hinders the fluid movement that's supposed to make these games feel so good.

Also, this last bit is specifically to fix this really bad pet peeve I have with sponges. When they're just barely not fully inked, they're ever so slightly misaligned with the main map geometry, which ruins the flow of movement. Making certain sponges able to always remain at their full size on one or multiple axes (set thoughtfully for each individual sponge placed on the map by the designers) serves to solve or mitigate this

rectanguloid (adj)

definition: an object that is similar to a rectangle, but isn’t quite a rectangle

etymology: combination of the word ‘rectangle’ with the suffix ‘-oid’, wherein ‘-oid’ means “resembling” or “like”

source: used to describe something that looked like a messily drawn rectangle. interesting to note is that rectanguloid has a geometric meaning, wherein it is a noun referring to a three-dimensional shape similar to a rectangle - that was not the usage that I witnessed

💥RP @gisela_colon_ via @taubmanmuseum: “Right now I am working on a new series of Rectanguloids, conceived during the quarantine, that present a panoramic surface plane, embodying how time expands, contracts and collapses. These sculptures actively pervade the surrounding environment with the physical energies of gravity, relativity, light, space, and time. You can see them at my solo show, 𝘌𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦, opening December 5th at @gavlakgallery in #PalmBeach, Florida.” 🪐⁣ ⁣ Gisela Colón⁣ 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘪𝘥 (𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘢 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘮), 2020⁣ Blow-molded acrylic⁣ 91.25 x 43.5 x 6 in (231.8 x 110.5 x 15.2 cm)⁣ ⁣ Sign up for our newsletter to receive event and exhibition updates for GAVLAK Palm Beach and Los Angeles.
