Yeah, those little wallpaper bits were the internet’s postcard craze. In Japan, the screens were full of neon skyline shots—Tokyo at night or Shibuya crossing in slow motion, making every phone feel like it was glued to the city’s pulse. In Brazil, they loved sun‑soaked beaches and carnival masks, so your home screen would burst with color even before you opened a game. The UK had the classic foggy seaside and London Bridge, a nod to the “home” they’d only seen in postcards from abroad. In Mexico, a montage of pyramids and mariachi guitars gave a sense of history and fiesta right in your pocket. It was like a tiny passport page you carried all day, and each culture tried to make you feel familiar even when you were literally miles away. I’ve got a stack of those, but I swear I still get lost in the ones that are just a single, blurry sunset. It’s the simplest way to say, “Hey, you’re home.”

I’ve got a few that feel like a cozy blanket—one of those hazy golden hour shots over a quiet lake in the Pacific Northwest, the water barely rippling. Another is a soft‑blurred sunset over the dunes in Namibia, the sky turning from pink to deep blue like someone’s sigh. If you’ve got any that feel the same, trade a pic and we’ll see if our “home” feels the same.
