+<p>2021-05-29</p>
+<p>A few years back I played (and loved) <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/282140/SOMA/">SOMA</a>, a first-person sci-fi horror-adventure game. The story was intriguing and the developers nailed the overall atmosphere of Pathos-II. Though both those aspects were great, what I found the most enjoyable were the interactive computers and displays found sprinkled throughout the world.</p>
+<p>Three years ago I wanted to see if I could recreate one of those terminal displays with HTML &#38; CSS. And I did just that.</p>
+<p>So, why am I writing about this <em>three years later</em>? Well, I never did a proper write-up explaining how I achieved it. I&#8217;m sure someone out there in the wild west of the web could get some value out of this tutorial, right? I hope so!</p>

+<p>The overall styling is fairly simple (which is great for browser support) with only a couple pseudo elements. It&#8217;s important to include the custom <code>Sansation</code> typeface, since this is what the game uses for most UI elements and terminals. (I&#8217;m loading in this font via my <a href="https://opentype.netlify.app">OpenType side project</a>)</p>
+<p>The most important properties that truly bring this design together are those associated with the <code>.outer-frame</code> and <code>.screen</code> pseudo elements. Both of these elements use custom <code>background-images</code> that give a little more depth and life to the terminal - in this case fingerprints, dust and smudges.</p>
+<p>Feel free to swap these image textures out with your own and alter the terminal as you see fit!</p>
