My did soul die?

You spent time on /v/ instead of playing games.

If you mean why, most of the console manufacturers realized that basically their entire audience is totally captive and they don't ACTUALLY have to put any effort in.
Strictly speaking, this was always true but there used to at least be the idea that there would potentially be consequences to soulless behavior.

The PS3 onward was soulless though
And even mentioning xbox.... lol

Blades era 360 and the OG xbox was cool.

caus of you darkmode fags.
It doesnt help your eyes see better at all yet you continue to enable it and kill ui in the process.

>>724675004
maybe don't make my screen blarring fucking white. The only reason dark mode exists is to counteract the plague of WHITE AND BLAND

>>724674572 (OP)
Because games are serious business now. Devs don't want them to be perceived as childish. Same reason they changed Famicom's design for the US back then.

>Pic of Wii
>"childhood"
I had graduated high school, at age 18, something like six months before the Wii was even being sold.

You kids...

>>724675004
The Original Xbox 360 and whichever Playstation menus are right there. The problem isn't dark mode, it's these basic-bitch cookie cutter themes that fill the screen in the brightest white possible.

>duh only ting we care about are gaemz
this mentality is ACTUALLY killing consoles. They will sacrifice EVERYTHING to make a half decent game. The problem of console is the fucking cost of playing with friends and even that is skyrocketing in price.

I'm 24.

Switch 1 menu at least had slight soul but the switch 2 is crap.

>>724675004
Or just make themes that don't flashbang people?

>>724674572 (OP)
it's funny you leave out steam when that is the most soulless shit imaginable

>>724675820
I'm 26 not everyone is old and busted yet
I don't feel like I have many fond memories of the Wii though. My largest impression was just that one weird summer where I turned my brain off and played Brawl to an unhealthy degree for three months. I never even liked Brawl an especially large amount.

>>724674572 (OP)
They just don't make 'em like they used to anymore.

>>724674814
This. Things were already soulless at the end of the 2000s.

replace that top image with the 8bit/16bit era sonnyboy.

Member game spy?

Teaching people to use your UI is too difficult. Zoomers are so fucking braindead they cannot comprehend anything smooth ultra-minimalist slop because "I don't know how to use this". They're like fucking 80 year old women who refuse to even try to understand something and will instead just drop it entirely, so companies have to follow the money.

>>724674572 (OP)
You got older.

>My did
lmao stupid fucking esl

The various UIs of all the machiens in that gen was cool. The 360, Wii, PS3, PSP and even the DS were all pretty cool.

soul takes too much effort. squares and circles are easy for indians to make.

>>724677707
i had a full time job at that time so i don't recognize any of that.

I hate how almost everything in gaming is like an assembly line for the last decade or so. Boring as fuck.

>>724677707
As a 38-year-old white man, I only recognized 3 or 4 of those images, but I literally had not watched any of those 3 or 4 films/shows.

Heads up, kids; when you start work as an adult, you
do
not
give
a
shit
about "pop-culture" or media, anymore.

>>724679201
this is not true to me, however the enjoyment i get isnt normal. I go my own way. like what i like.

Personally i feel the emptyness you are feeling iis caused by no creative drive, normally by being overworked.

I make my Emulation Station look like the bottom

I hate nintendo so fucking much
