Just shows how phones stopped innovating on design
good design is timeless
this chair was designed in 1958 and still remains one of the most popular chairs in the world
Point well made
Don’t get me wrong, I do like how the DSi looks, but the ones with themes are 10x cooler, and it goes to show that the design CAN be exciting
to my knowledge, I’ve never seen this… whatever it is. I don’t even know what it is.
but it looks cool.
that’s worth a lot
Its one of those Nintendos that all the neighborhood grandkids are playing
be designs, you mean stickers or vinyl wraps
Neither, there are game versions of consoles sold with designs etched or formed directly into the shell itself. Here’s a Pokemon Black DSi version for example.
looks sleek
Airline lobby bench seating.
These chairs go for $2500 a pop (for a reproduction). You’re not gonna see one of these in any lobby.
An authentic one from the 50s (when you can find one) sells at auction for $5-8k+
In no way did I mean that statement literally.
It was a sarcastic reference. This style of seat is quite common in terminals.
Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, the design has certainly inspired a lot of imitations.
The image isn’t loading for me—could you please describe the chair to me? I’m curious!
But what I’m referring to is specifically known as the Eames Executive Group Management Chair

Thank you so much! Yah, these are hella comfy.
I had one once. It was my most prized possession. 😢

It’s not just a chair. It’s a piece of art.
it was also (easily) the most expensive thing I had ever owned, and I grabbed it off the curb. often I would just stare at it, because it was beautiful.
I miss it…
Damn, what a curb find. What happened to it? :(

Elektronik supersonik isn’t that old is it?

I’m in the process of listening to the album. Mind you, that album is the same-ish age as me.
By Back Side of the Moon, I’m convinced this can be in the OG Deus Ex game. Or maybe System Shock.
Just more proof that the History Monks are real. They say it doesnt really matter so much that time goes back in the exact right order, as long as the general shape of history is fine.
It explains why humans have got tribes in jungles hunting with sticks while also having semi-sentient robots on Mars singing happy birthday to itself.

i’m curious, would you mind sharing some of the stuff you listen to?

thanks a lot for sharing, i haven’t known much electronic music before so it’s quite eye opening. :)

Suicide (as in: the band) was formed in 1971, and I’d argue that for more than 30 years, their sound was ahead of its time.
Here’s Cheree, guess in which year this song was originally recorded.addendum
The song made for a terrific outro for “Downtown 81,” a movie about, and starring, Basquiat.

Oh for real! I can’t believe Astral Projection released Trust in Trance in the mid-90s, and they had been making music like that since the 80s.

You know your electronic music ;3
Aside from chiptune I heard and loved in super early keygens, Goa trance is what got me into electronic music!

Home of the OG Flipnote Studio—you will be missed.
Only 1 camera? That’s so last decade.
There is a front-facing camera as well, on the other side.
Unless it looks like that quad rocket launcher Arnold held up in commando, it’s completed garbage!/s
Why does it look like a white Pokédex?
It’s the other way around. GameFreak redesigns the Pokedex each generation to resemble contemporary hardware. Gens 1 through 4 looked like the handheld you were playing on, 5 onwards look like a smartphone, and in Let’s Go only it looks like a laptop.
But it looks like the Gen 1 Pokédex to me, which did not really look like a Gameboy (I’m also pretty sure the Hoenn Pokédex did not look like a GBA until the remake)
Gen 1 had a gameboy-looking face though.
The precursor to the DS was the Game and Watch, back in the 1980s.

Bulbapedia has a reference of all different dex designs
I miss when you could be more creative with hardware
Am i this old that i dont see anyone praise the DS Lite that came before this one and after the original DS ? To me this was the shit !
you can pry my DSLite from my cold dead hands.
never had the DSi or any of the nintendo handhelds after the DSLite.
I do have a retroid pocket that I’m in love with right now. my only problem is that I can’t take it anywhere without my kids stealing it from me.
I would simp hard on a DS smartphone.
The original DSi was my favorite DS model. Still have mine. It’s too small for my hands now days though.
Really? Those pens remind me of palm pilots
He’s probably talking about the thing itself.
Equally crazy how you couldn’t be bothered to write Nintendo anywhere in your post. 👌
Is it that crazy? If you don’t know what it is just searching “dsi” will tell you, and if you do than you don’t need it.
I’m really tired of googling things, because they can’t be communicated. You mentioned design, but in design school I was taught to consider how my material is interacted with, and make information clear the first time. I really don’t understand why this is a difficult concept to grasp, but it definitely is. So I have to wonder why you’re criticizing other designs, when you don’t even understand what it means, but here’s a hint: what things look like is the final step, not the first.
Nintendo? Like the playing card company?
Even crazier that 2008 isn’t modern anymore.
