Why can't we have translucent consoles anymore?

>>712635585 (OP)
they need to keep the spiders hidden

The internals are too intimidating for modern gamers. People don't want to see circuit boards because they have no idea what they are or how they work.

Actual reasons being
1. Not stylish
Translucency lets good manufacturing speak for itself and let's people revel in the complex beauty within, normalfags don't like that, they like plain and minimalistic, and the inners aren't too nice to look at anyway for reason number two which is
2. Bad design, engineering isn't as nice as it used to be so the faults need to be hidden
and 3. To hide tracking devices and other unwanted and unneeded hardware

PCs are monopolizing the translucent plastics so they can admire all the blinking lights on their modern mobos and GPUs

It's too fun, consoles are now serious grown up devices that play serious movie games

>>712635585 (OP)
You'll have a gay white modern art sculpture and like it!

When normalfaggots realized that vidya isn't just for kids, they opted for the nofunallowed route like with literally anything else

"Fun" revisions are needless extravagance shareholders don't want money wasted on.

>>712635585 (OP)
Because in 2025 everything has the be shit. No exceptions.

>>712635585 (OP)
What kind of translucent did you guys pick? the colored ones or just clear?

>>712635585 (OP)
I miss that aesthetic

SOUL

>>712635585 (OP)
It started looking like a kids toy to most, so manufacturers started going with a glossy black/matte black finish to all their shit.

>>712635585 (OP)
Jews

>>712635585 (OP)
because ur mom gay lmao gotem

>>712635585 (OP)
modern electronics' guts just look like shit, it's all full of brand logos and helicopter looking boards
even ram sticks look like sci-fi mcguffins

>>712635585 (OP)
They don't want to show you how the sausage is made

>>712636661
This shit looks sooo soothing wtf

>>712635585 (OP)
You'd see all the roaches

>>712635585 (OP)
Because (they) killed the soul.

>>712636808
Which begs the question: Why are bugs so attracted to electronics? I see tons of videos of people finding swarms of bugs in their electronics and it baffles me.

>>712637237
it's warm?

>>712635585 (OP)
They elicit joy, which conflicts with modern game design.

>>712637237
you're asking the wrong question. you should rather be asking what kind of no-life, filthy individuals would post this shit online instead of actually cleaning their fucking room or entire home

>>712635585 (OP)
zoomers are scared of internals

>>712635585 (OP)
imo they look cheap

>>712637361
Is that a liminal space in there?

>>712635728
The opposite. The internals look very boring these days

the switch pro controller is slightly transparent around the sticks. i seem to recall there being a message under the right stick, something like "this is for the gamers"

and i believe most xboxes have an image of master chief engraved somewhere inside.

>>712637314
I think some people just don't associate a bug infestation with filth. I had a neighbor who was like that. I would talk with him occasionally and one time I told him about how we had an exterminator come out because we were starting to see a lot of bugs in our garage. He looked genuinely baffled as to why I would call an exterminator and said something to the effect of "Why are you trying to kill them? Bugs running around are just part of life." He then related stories about how him and his son are always shooing roaches away from their food.

And before anyone asks, yes this neighbor was black.

Fun, in 2025?

>>712637237
Heat + dark + cramped (safer)
And that other guy is a retard who thinks roaches spawn from the aether when your house is dirty. Depending on where you live, roaches can just waltz into your home any time and might stick around even if there's no food for them. Water is usually more important (roach bait these days will often be liquid) and many are glad just to have shelter

>>712638135
They don't just come out of nowhere, but theres def a correlation with extremely dirty homes attracting them in the first place due to so many spots in the home being undisturbed by a cleaning tool.

>>712635585 (OP)
PS4 had one, but due to amount of metal shielding required these days there isn't much to see

>>712638135
So would translucent casing help to dissuade bugs from living in electronics then? Because that would theoretically take away the dark part of that equation. If so, that could be a case for a practical use for translucent casing.

>>712638508
It would only dissuade them when your lights are on/the switch isn't put away anywhere, but it'd be an interesting thing to check. It's not like roaches won't move in the light, but they're less likely to and they super panic at any change in lighting
>>712638314
Yeah someone who is filthy is definitely going to get roaches or ants, but I feel like people overreact when you can get those in a clean house. When I lived in a forest they would just pop in from wherever (sometimes I could hear them as they forced their way under the window shutters, I would wait for them with something to smash them). When I moved into my apartment there were roaches night 1 even though the unit had been empty for a month, simply because if one tenant has roaches then we all have roaches (and the space between units is a great spot for them too).
When I was living in the forest my best preventative was to let the spiders and house centipedes live, they'd set up a turf and it would be harder for the roaches to encroach on it

I think it looks terrible

>>712638438
I got one of those controllers. I'm a sucker for translucency.

>>712635585 (OP)
because their internals look like dookie

>>712635728
Would you even see them properly? iirc the PS5 video the cooler block covers almost the entire inside once it's assembled.

>>712635585 (OP)
Jews hate it when the white male goyim are happy

Look into chinkhelds.

Just become a PC chad and have a giant glass window on your case

Jesus Christ could you please just take your fucking meds already?

>>712640843
>glass
fuck no, that shit breaks
anyway the transparent pane actually serves a purpose. if anything goes wrong (e.g. fan not starting, some led lights up) you can quickly peep inside

>>712635585 (OP)
Was the PS2 the last console to have a translucent option?

some people will jokingly say jews, others will say jews because of some vague understanding that jews have made things worse, but very few will tell you what specific jew is responsible for this mess. the latest in the chain of bauhaus minimalism is Jony Ive, a jew from london who has dyslexia (a disease a lot of jews like to pretend they have, as it disproportionately affects jews who have mythologized the neurological condition into being something pseudospiritual) and a deep hatred for natural forms. to jony and other minimalists the idea of something being made greater by the sun of its parts is anathema. philosophically the idea of divided pieces is poisonous to the jewish mind, so they invented the idea of tikun olam.

tikun olam translates from the persian dog barking that passes for hebrew to "healing the world," which means (to them) to unite all things first into one, then into jews (as the subservient male aspect of the female jew), then into God. they view themselves, anon, as the female aspect of God, which means that the "male" aspect of humanity (itself male, subservient) is something to be tamped down and corrected until feminine.

if this sounds like schizophrenic bullshit that's because it is. read the zohar. if you want to know why we can't have fun see-through plastic it's because fun is male and males have to be subservient to females who cannot stay as girls but must become the jewish mother-god who devours kadmon. that's it. a bunch of dysgenic vagina worshiping desert freaks decided that fun has to die so they can become the hivemind pilot of a female god that enslaves everything forever. it's also why they hate tomboys, if you were wondering.

>>712641935
not sure if this is schizo babble or a truthnuke

>>712642219
the margin is razor thin

I had the clean-white game boy pocket

>>712641549
The transparent panes are almost always plexiglass.

>>712640149
This is the real reason

>>712646337
Maybe on your $30 case

>>712648249
electronics have never looked good though

>>712636106
shareholders and the stock market are nothing new though

>>712635585 (OP)
Because it's not the early 2000s anymore

>>712636106
shareholders think businesses don't need to spend money to earn money so whatever they say can be dismissed with prejudice

>>712648834
The relatively significantly lower market cap left a lot of room in the industry for creativity and experimentation.
Now gaming is one of the highest income multimedia industries and shareholders/companies are terrified to try to innovate.
This is also the reason AAA games are all comically bad.
