good design is timeless

this chair was designed in 1958 and still remains one of the most popular chairs in the world

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

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.

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!

Eames Aluminum Group

But what I’m referring to is specifically known as the Eames Executive Group Management Chair

(Pictured: a 2023 model reproduction by Herman Miller)

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.

I miss 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.

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

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.

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!

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. :::

There is a front-facing camera as well, on the other side.

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)

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.

6

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 !

The original DSi was my favorite DS model. Still have mine. It's too small for my hands now days though.

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.
