    The electronic music I listen to that came out 30 years ago now sounds more futuristic than most made today, funny how it works. Swear someone hit the reverse button sometimes.

      Just more proof that the History Monks are real. They say it doesnt really matter so much that time goes back in the exact right order, as long as the general shape of history is fine.

      It explains why humans have got tribes in jungles hunting with sticks while also having semi-sentient robots on Mars singing happy birthday to itself.

        It blows my mind thinking about the latter thing you mentioned sometimes, it’s just such a wild contrast but it’s also cool at the same time. I personally respect the hell out of those hold outs, they’re not playing anyone else’s games. It’s interesting to think about though, if there were some kind of event that splintered time somehow.

        One of my favorite electronics albums, The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld by The Orb is 35 years old, I can’t even comprehend it. It still sounds as good today as it did then but there’s some high nostalgia involved there.

          I’m in the process of listening to the album. Mind you, that album is the same-ish age as me.

          By Back Side of the Moon, I’m convinced this can be in the OG Deus Ex game. Or maybe System Shock.

    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.

      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.

    The original DSi was my favorite DS model. Still have mine. It’s too small for my hands now days though.
