Basal view
gollark: I'm not a fan of Among Us, but I respect that for whatever reason people enjoy playing it.
gollark: Where so-called "flat" designers would include rounded corners, and blurred background things, I eschew these in favour of flat colored rectangles, sometimes with borders.
gollark: Anyway, I design all my stuff with "extremely flat design".
gollark: I mean, that would fit in the context better, although of course the sentence would remain wrong.
gollark: Yes, the correct term would be "utterly incorrect apioformic beings".
