Translucent come back plz.

@retronianne currently thinking about buying a translucent aftermarket case for my PlayStation (blue maybe? Smokey perhaps?) and my GameCube (but maybe it will become orange?).
My dreamcast (purple), PS2 (snowy clear), one of my Wii (clear), one GBA (pink) and a GBA SP clone (pink) are translucent already 🥰

@retronianne I know those things horribly yellow and cloud with time.... but goddess damn the translucent colourways look so awesome!

this is the RGB we need manufacturers! Translucent plastics! not eye searing lights! :D

@retronianne Seeing a minidisc instantly has my mind doing a finger flip on my skateboard at the old tennis court, Violent Femmes in my headphones at full CD quality but without skipping.
@retronianne What is this adapter in the top right for? And is this a cassette on the bottom right? It looks weird...
@retronianne
I still have my atomic purple N64 controller
@retronianne I have that Dreamcast control! And hundreds of mini discs
@retronianne @Lazarou I can’t begin to describe how old it makes me feel to see this described as vintage and retro 😩
@retronianne i have been saying this for /LITERAL YEARS/

@retronianne oh man one of these images put me on a hunt to find one of those translucent VHS tapes

i eventually snagged some from some japan auctions and got it over here, they are soooo pretty, too bad the colored ones seem to be more rare :<

@retronianne dbrand did it and this video just dropped

@retronianne I've never had any interest in any of the Beats products, but when they introduced this... I kinda want to vote with my money that "yes, I want translucent to come back!”
@retronianne I forgot to mention, I got both of my handhelds in Translucent Purple.
@retronianne this would be so nice! 😭😭😭
@retronianne @donmelton the last 20 years of tech made everything mundane and cold. It’s time to get back some fun and of course, translucency.
@retronianne Godddd yes! Anything I get, if there's a see-thru option, I get it! Can't wait for the see-thru front shell to come out for Steam Deck, shame there's no blue option yet though... And still no options for custom buttons. ;u;
@retronianne translucent MDs_ can't_ be retro vintage, I still have the ones I bought just a bit ago... in... 2003!? 😱
I love Translucent Electronics

@retronianne the Tamagotchi Uni is gonna have a translucent back, really excited for it! Look at that sexy exposed battery, 10/10 😻
@retronianne most of the best gaming of my life happened on this controller 😌

@retronianne I agree, I love my crystal orange WonderSwan Color 😄​

If only I actually had games for it...

@retronianne
Retro Game Restore makes translucent shells for a number of consoles.
@retronianne
I've also had good luck with transparent shell kits from eXtremeRate
@retronianne I always liked seeing the implementation. :)
@retronianne truly what peak performance looked like.
@retronianne MINIDISC MINIDISC MINIDISC
I will infodump about minidisc if provoked

@retronianne yes, retro cute vibes now as well. Translucent barbie pink~

Hope the Barbie film makes a bit of a push for this vibe to hit the market pls

@retronianne Semitransparent purple plastic for all my controllers and devices please

@retronianne Long thread, but not enough credit to the Asian manufacturers bringing this back semi-unironically.

I was never into clear stuff much, even in the nineties, but the trend is not gone.

@retronianne I order a transparent backcover with my Fairphone 5? Seeing the hardware within the phone. Does that sort of count?

#transparent #translucent #fairphone #retro

@retronianne too fragile, i hate that...
@retronianne I'm also sort of disappointed that Minidiscs are ancient, obsolete technology.
@unicodesnowman Same. They still seem like they're the format of the future. :)
@retronianne yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
