Clear craze.

As in technology. Translucent gadgets were all the rage. Not quite one word, I was going to go with translucent, but found it actually had a name.

My mate had a transparent ps1 controller. I wanted it so bad.

I still have one of those in clear blue, along with clear blue extender cords. Have clear purple GameCube controllers, and a light-up clear Xbox controller 😁

Now controllers are so heavy I have to skin them to help with hand fatigue, so no point getting clear cases.

I miss that aesthetic, though, and I’m glad it’s starting to reappear.

Nice! I’m considering buying a clear case off Ali Express for one of my ps4 controllers.

I can’t stand the new ps5 controller. PS4 dualshock is where it’s at!

You remember that future phones would be all transparent slabs of glass? Funny how things have changed and also not changed!

That’s how you know technology was inside them. I vaguely remember we had an eMac which had a combined CRT and computer inside it. Do not remember liking it

Your first sentence made me literally laugh audibly. At work.

Our computer lab when I was in high school was all those eMacs. I hated them and their single mouse button.

I definitely deleted the system drive from half of them at one point or another. It wasn’t hard, either, it was on the desktop.

Sure it didn’t actually delete anything on the drive, but it did force an intensive repair (they reformatted all of them, idk if there was another fix) :)
