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.
I had one once. It was my most prized possession. 😢
(pictured: a 2013 model reproduction by Manhattan Home Design with full pneumatic controls and carpet casters)
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.
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.
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.
::: spoiler addendum
The song made for a terrific outro for "Downtown 81," a movie about, and starring, Basquiat.

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)
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.

good design is timeless
this chair was designed in 1958 and still remains one of the most popular chairs in the world
lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 123d
Point well made
Alvaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 13 pts · 123d
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
homes@piefed.world · 4 pts · 123d
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

Airline lobby bench seating.
homes@piefed.world · 4 pts · 123d
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+
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 123d
In no way did I mean that statement literally.
It was a sarcastic reference. This style of seat is quite common in terminals.
homes@piefed.world · 1 pts · 122d
Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, the design has certainly inspired a lot of imitations.
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 123d
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

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.

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!

The precursor to the DS was the Game and Watch, back in the 1980s.

I miss when you could be more creative with hardware
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 123d
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.
