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.
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? :(
Long story short, I got evicted
I had 20 minutes to grab everything I could. So I grabbed my cat and my laptop and a suitcase full of clothes, and I was out the door.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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
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?
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
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.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
