I miss my transparent orange palm pilot. :(

Please bring back this design language 🙏🏻

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?

[–] Jayb151@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure it's just injection molded plastic like the uncolored or"normal" consoles.

It might be interesting to get scans of this and try 3d printing them.

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?

[–] Secret300@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

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

Lol the 2ds

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.
