Now we have colour in the form of RGB LEDs in everything instead.

This design and use of cheap plastic is disgusting. Design peaked during Bauhaus.

I get that plastic is cheap, common, and often wasteful but it is also shock resistant, light, and transparent.

Serious question, how were these enclosures made? Is it resin? Is it plastic? How were they shaping the plastic?

No, I think you miss neon.

Today's console gaming has plenty of color and style options. And computer gaming literally has an RGB culture obsession with putting flashing colors all over the place.

Also, this pic includes a 2DS which was only discontinued in 2020. What does "back then" even mean?

I know we are talking nostalgia but my God I love the Analogue Pocket ordered. I really loved when they sold the transparent pockets and was sad I missed out until I saw the transparent ones cracking.

I try to hold on as much of my old hardware as possible. We are really living in a very underrated golden age of hardware coming back up to play our retro games.

Anything other than metal sucks

Beige powder coated metal.

What is the device to the left of Dreamcast ~~memory card thingy~~ VMU?

Oh, I think that's a camera, now that I looked closer. But what is the small pink thing left of the GBA? Just a USB flash?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah the first thing is for sure a camera. I honestly don't recognize the 2nd thing though. I'd guess a USB stick too.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Colour was awesome, but the translucent stuff with pcb showing through just looked trashy to me.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

As a tech inclined person, I find it pretty cool that you can "feel" electronics that way.
