alientoastt: alientoastt: tucked away in a corner of the archive of the starship aurora, there’s an old advert with a familiar face.[image id: two versions of an illustrated advertisement for “Katabasian Computing,” featuring ashes o'reilly from the mechanisms. they lounge on an ornate armchair, one foot coming down to rest on a tasseled pillow. they wear black-and-white oxfords and a dark 1920’s style suit with a black coat over top; the trim of the coat looks like circuitry. the symbol of the acheron, a simplified skull with circuitry coming out of its exposed brain, floats to the left and right of their head. above the border of the ad is the paper name, “The Oracle,” and the date June 18, 2022. underneath it is the name “Katabasian Computing” and their slogan; “There’s no processor more powerful.” the second is the same drawing, just without the effect that it has been printed on a folded and stained piece of old paper. (without the acheron skulls). end id.] some favorite bits :][image id: closeups of the swirly carved chair legs, the company name and slogan, the hand-lettered text from the top (publication and date), one of the tassels of the pillow, one of the acheron skulls, and ashes’ face. end id.] -- source link
