@migurski okay, that just damaged my head. Now I'm going to have to read up on 4AD

Laptops so thin they fall through the earth and straight into the core if dropped the wrong way.

I'm kind of waiting for the baroque backlash where things get thicc & chunky again with lots of embellishments and the electronics are the size of a single grain of rice suspended at the center of an orrery or something.

@kurtm That's so 2023

Now I'm picturing the hipster at the Starbucks writing a novel with a replica Underwood typewriter bluetooth'd to a slowly rotating model of the heavens hovering over the table beaming a display directly into retinas.

@sydneyfalk @csalzman I *have* been seeing folks retrocomputing with restored early 90s beige box PCs and it kind of trips me out

@kurtm Well, yeah, that's why they're a hipster :D

@bhtooefr Oh yeah, that's true... all the gurgling fluids and vaporwave lights are kind of a modern baroque

You know what else I'd like to see come back? Transparent plastic shells for gadgets.

Absentmindedly took the last swig from my coffee mug.

Mouth full of coffee grounds.

HUPPuhh

@letthewatersroar Yeah, translucent is the better word!

We've got both the pink and the purple and they're some of my favorite things

@killeveryhetero Yeah, I've seen those on Amazon and I totally want to do it but also I like that my Switch currently works :)

@killeveryhetero Oh, yeah, though I was also looking at a shell replacement for the switch itself. I mean, I could probably make it work, but.......

@killeveryhetero Ah yeah, that's a really good point!

So, like, would anyone watch if I did some streams of me typing in magazine programs on some of my 80s computers?

I'm sad because I used to have like piles and piles of computer magazines I accumulated as a kid, but I think most of them got thrown out or donated to a library at some point :/

I might use this as an excuse to (re)acquire them. Of course I could also cop out and use scans that I can find on the internets

I kinda want to play Red Dead Redemption 2, but I am super not at all a fan of Westerns.
