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.
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
Home of the OG Flipnote Studio—you will be missed.
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.

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.
Really? Those pens remind me of palm pilots
The original DSi was my favorite DS model. Still have mine. It's too small for my hands now days though.
Even crazier that 2008 isn’t modern anymore.
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.
