Dense Caption

Four identical panels arranged in a 2x2 grid. Each panel features a red and yellow spiral background with alternating red and yellow concentric rings. Black pixelated text is centered over the spiral, reading "New Controls your puny minds!!!" with "New" on the first line, "Controls" on the second, "your" on the third, "puny" on the fourth, and "minds!!!" on the fifth. The text uses a blocky, retro digital font. The spiral pattern creates a hypnotic visual effect. All four panels are visually identical with no discernible differences between them.
