i'd like to have a graphic design community on here

[-] Leg@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

I second this.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 125 points 3 days ago

"I can't wait to see their next brilliant logo design!"

ಠ_ಠ

[-] JayDee@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago

My brain just did some work. Now I can't unseen this as that manly handshake scene from Predator. The two 'i's are the guys, and the 'W' is a zoom-in of their handshake.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 38 points 3 days ago

Just wait until you see the sequel to this one.

But the "ii" part bows to you! Its revolutionary!

[-] dis_honestfamiliar@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Oh I thought that was like "we" cuz you play alone most of the time.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Random Nintendo execs show up to your house unannounced.

"We would like to play"

You stare at them blankly for a beat then shut the door in their faces. This is your time away from the world and its demands. No one will take that away from you.

That whole era had really shitty design. “Sleek this, minimalist that. Only black/white/greys allowed”. Got old real fast.

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Godel, Escher, Bach did it first, but even cooler.

Likely inspired the design.

[-] Leg@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Humans are so friggin creative I can't stands it.

Now I'm holding Z. Can you hear the difference?

[-] magic_lobster_party@kbin.run 26 points 3 days ago

Now I’m holding Z on all 4 controllers.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

I only recently learned about this one!

I don't remember anyone passing this trick around back in the day. Maybe because most people didn't have 4 controllers?

This one or the N64 logo (with its 64 faces) is the greatest real logo

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

I don't see how the N64 logo can have 64 faces. I counted 24 faces.

[-] MadBob@feddit.nl 4 points 2 days ago

I've just looked it up, and it seems to just come from a Reddit post where they explain how they've worked it out, but in their working out they've triple-counted the N-shaped faces.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Probably the actual 3d representation does

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

A 3D representation would be made of triangles.. so maybe that?

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Didn't realize it had 64 faces that's cool af

[-] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 39 points 3 days ago

I still contend that the GameCube controller is the best designed controller on the market in terms of comfort and usability.

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

Generally, but it has some issues. I found the C-stick to be very uncomfortable with the lack of a cap, and you can't really press two face buttons at the same time unless one of them is A. The latter isn't usually a problem, but certain games, like the Arkham series, would be virtually unplayable. That there's only one shoulder button on one side is also pretty weird. The dual stage triggers are pretty neat, though, and the only other controller I've used with them is the Steam Controller, which has a pretty steep learning curve.

The C-stick and Z bumper are the two big weaknesses. If it had a proper twin-stick design instead of the C-stick nub, and actual bumpers that felt good, it would hands down be the best controller ever designed.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Using different sizes and shapes for the buttons based on frequency of use (and to help new gamers not have to look down) was a really smart idea.

Wait til they hear about the arrow in the FedEx logo

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Kinda related -

The logo of Annecy, capital of Haute Savoie -

Why it's so clever - the flag of Haute Savoie -

Edit, forgot to add, the Swiss flag has red gaps at the ends of the white cross, in case you were wondering

The first two letter’s the same, but the last is something different.

It still bothers me that the cube inside the cube is bigger than the outer line, despite forming the outer line during the intro animation. It will never stop bothering me.

[-] magic_smoke@links.hackliberty.org 15 points 3 days ago

It retracted due to surface tension.
