Cars too. In most parking lots, grey, black and white account for 95% of the car colors.

Which is why I go out of my way to never own a car with one of those colors. Of course by doing so I realize I'm making myself stand out to police, but I really like blue and purple cars. (edit: Lime green would be cool to have one day too. Ooh or a nice golden yellow.)

Please bring back this design language 🙏🏻

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

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.

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?

Nah no way. Really? I thought the old 2ds was discontinued pretty early

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.
