I mean it mimics a booth with a phone in it right?
I dunno, personally Iām not a big fan of the olā pop culture grabbing in video games.
I donāt mind subtle references here and there, but the blatant ripping ala fortnite/ffivx is just world breaking in my opinion.
No. It mimics a Police Public Call Box. It had three functions:
It was a way for citizens to call the police for help (they could lock themselves inside if they were being chased, and the blue light on top signified help was needed).
It assisted officers for breaks and a dry place to write up reports (they couldnāt just walk to the station to file a report, as that would have taken them off their beat).
The real police boxes were made of concrete, serving as a holding pen for those under arrest until backup arrived to take them to jail.
I never saw it (curses!) but there was a T.A.R.D.I.S. clone that would appear randomly in Asheronās Call, supposedly with the sound effect. But they eventually got a cease and desist order (I heard).
So itās a boothā¦with a phone in itā¦
I know what a police box is lmao.
I donāt care if you make dresses in there, itās a booth with a phone in it. Calling out OP over silly semantics is just petty.
The person who initially replied could have instead just informed OP āactually they are more than just a phone boxā¦etcā not just saying how they are āwrongā.
