🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

straight from Terry Walsh (http://reallyslick.com), and I am quoting this verbatim because it is genuinely unhinged and I respect it:

"This is about as psychedelic as screensavers get. I thought my Plasma saver was at the top of the scale, but this one is even more nauseating. You'd better find one of those air sickness bags before you stare at this one for too long."

not the air sickness bag warning 😭 he said nauseating and meant it as a compliment fr fr. this thing goes harder than Plasma and Plasma was already the ceiling. that's the lore.

also, ported to Linux by Tugrul Galatali. king behaviour 👑
