Does anyone have an idea or had something in mind for a thumbnail for phobos? (Note that I myself don't even really know what phobos is supposed to stand for, but I do know that it's the name of a moon which seems appropriate. It's also the name of a Greek god, but that seems unrelated)

(additional note: phobos is mainly an optimizing bytecode compiler for Lua with some language extensions and a type system)

the original naming was for the martian moon, similar to Lua being earth's moon

#

i always wanted a little soupbowl-moon hybrid for the file icon for the bonus .pho pun

Mhm, good idea

#

I love it, very most likely going to go with that. And I have someone I can ask for help with drawing it if I need it, so we're good there

I feel like it was you, but it's been close to 2 years at this point probably. at least 1 and a half

well, search in mod-making seems to have me as the earliest person mentioning it, but i swear i remember somebody else having made the joke first 🤔
