I don't know which is the bigger shit take, but this galaxy brained youtuber devotes over 3 minutes of a retro gaming video to slam housing projects as terrible. She laments that some of these terrible buildings are still in use, with footage of her touring what look like well mentioned social housing units to me. Then she cuts to still images of egregious dilapidated examples that obviously weren't part of the tour.
"Thankfully across the UK though, most brutalist buildings have been demolished."
Someone might want to tell her about Grenfell?
The snes was ugly compared to the super famicom and the plastic turned yellow over time.
No game console was brave enough enough to have colorful buttons in the USA until the Xbox.
The grey snes also led to the grey ps1. I’m not sure why that shade of grey was chosen, but it was fairly common for the era. Black plastic was expensive and cooler. White was rare. But textured grey was everywhere.
There was also the gamecube controller that same week, damn thing looked like a fisher price toy
The fact 2 buttons were grey and the cheaper look of the plastic at the time.
But somehow the colors didn’t stand out as much as the shapes.
Fuck. I also forgot the n64 had different color buttons.
Still vastly prefer how Xbox has it with the main face buttons each having their own color + letter.
The weak spot are the bumpers. Icons/ notes in the game need the big L or something to cause a trigger squeeze.
Same lol
