Too bad the buttons on the Switch aren't black, it'd match the Game Boy and just overall look better

After market 🎶 parts

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Not to mention the fact that the shades of yellow don't match either

It's an underrated awesome thing that we can have a little unique personality in our gaming consoles and computers now.

The custom color product trend goes in waves. From one default, to multiple bright colors, to a few selected and much more muted colors, back to a single white color, then they exitedly advertise black and white as two "choices". Or variations of that.

eh, I've always seen the multiple colors stage of tech trends to be the worst part. those are the form over function, look at the pretty colors times. to me they start dishing out the colors when they know they have nothing else new to offer. besides, the third party skin and case industry is thriving. we don't need manufacturers to develop whole knew production lines just to make my $5000 camera silver this time. I'd rather they save that development and production money and put it towards ergonomics or some shit.

The color stage is the best one. Thats when the consumer-part of a product is "done" and they dont really know what to add except advertise more. The muted colors are when they have turned corporate and are trying to get into B2B deals, and consumers dont really matter as much any more. Then return to a mono-color when they try to trim anything unecessary to earn more money without getting more customers. And two-color choice when they need to convince investors that they "are still fresh and not out of ideas".

besides, the third party skin and case industry is thriving

By thriving you mean the 3rdparties are only selling customization thingies for the most popular-selling products. Usually products that has gone so far into shittification that they are halfway filled with advertisement and B2B deals. Yay, I can put a red shell on my handheld advertising platform..

the colors are functional. having spent a couple decades buying all black everything, it is damn hard to find anything in the dark

My cat’s black too. Sometimes I realize that I’ve been trying to entice an old t shirt to come jump on the bed…

That's a fair point too.

I actually have a grip for my Switch because playing it was so uncomfortable, but I've gotten so much enjoyment out of the open-world Zelda games that I just don't care that it cost a little more.

I'm too colorblind to know if this is a joke.

[-] THEDAEMON@lemmy.ml 18 points 8 months ago

It isn't . Source : I am not colorblind .

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 5 points 8 months ago

As a scientist, I value peer review and replicability. Using the same method (i.e. not being colour blind), I can confirm it isn't a joke.
