"Totally baked", perhaps?
At least half baked. Yes, some very high end world building. Damn, now that could be a whole other forest...

The ironic part is that you actually could be inspired by this to do something halfway decent. I did use legitimate techniques for this, more or less. My roommate even came and sat down in the living room and simply observed as if I were doing my job. And then I was like "no... you have to come a little closer..." Corner icons are a worthy addition to several maps!
