As Twitter's foremost Disc Buddie, I feel like I have to do a series of threads on my favorite collection of all time. OF ALL TIME!!! It is criminally overlooked, likely for being on Solana. If it were on Eth, it would be valued 10x what it currently is on Sol.
Tojiba Disc Buddies, billed as "Software for Toji. Friend for You" are anthropomorphized software boxes with their own (often sociopathic) personalities.
Produced by Tojiba CPU Corp (@tojibaceo) as a follow-up to the original Toji 100 collection (pictured), Disc Buddies take wild referentialism and bizarre mashup art to places they've never been before, resulting in images that are often perplexing, beautiful, moving, and bizarre.
The two main traits of a Disc Buddie are the Background and the Box. They dominate the image of the Buddie, although other traits can compound or confound its meaning. The figure of the Buddie itself comprises the Box, Box Outline, Arms, Hands, Legs, and Feet.
Meta-traits include Allegiance, Hunger, and Thirst (bottom left corner); Status 1, Status 2, and Talisman (bottom right corner); and Secret Message (which does not appear on the image itself, but is a part of each NFT's metadata).
I don't know the exact count, but I believe there are over 100 Boxes and roughly the same number of Backgrounds. So already there is the possibility for huge variation on just those two major traits. Then add the other traits, and there's no chance any 2 buddies came out alike.
Consider this just a brief introduction. The depth here is absolutely nuts. I'm not sure how I will organize my threads, but probably some combination of box and backgrounds, maybe sorted by Allegiance as that sometimes sets a tone for the whole Buddie.
Thanks for reading!!!
