I like how they threw a 2DS into the pile of late 90s, early 2000s tech.
Fun factoid of the day: The Nintendo 2DS only actually has one screen. Go ahead, open one up, you’ll see…
fun followup of the day: a “factoid” is something that isn’t true, but is presented as being true. go ahead, look it up!
Funner follow-up: this definition is correct and true to the original usage of “factoid”, however, the alternative definition meaning “a small or minor fact” has been used often enough that it’s generally accepted, and appears in several dictionaries. Ain’t English grand!?

Interesting. I might research that on the toilet tonight, or just drop the word factoid from my vocabulary.
Regardless, clowns still have to go to college, while politicians do not. Fun fact of the day!
Initially I agreed, but actually I think it stands. The design is similar enough, regardless of era. Honestly, I really do wish this kind of design would come back
@Stamets I’ll admit it looks cool, but leaving your clear Gameboy out in the sun was a bad idea.
Honestly, I am really happy we passed that transparent bubblegum-toy style. My hope is that we move towards physical buttons again, at least where they make sense (cars for example).
Argument
Well if you don’t like black rectangle, you can have silver rectangle.
Wrong, you can get colored and transparent shells for the Steam Deck. Design technology is still peaking.
)I got one in ‘atomic purple’ because that is the most rad color.
Still perplexed Nintendo hasn’t released atomic purple joycons.
I only got the backplate but man I’m tempted to do the front too.
Also transparent filaments are great. I 3D printed an olfa knife handle in transparent green (think Razer’s green) and it looks fucking awesome.
Got a picture?
Literally just got a semi-transparent Xbox controller. My kid loves looking at the rumble motor moving inside.
Also cheap emulation devices like anbernic keeping atomic purple alive
Yes, from roughly 1997-2013 according to that image. In that one brief 16 year moment, it peaked.
