Buy logitech k120

man it really would be neat to do a modern PC build with this case. possibly tricky though

literally a faggots choice of pc. what is this a kylie minogue music video? not aged too well

wtf bro dont insult my precious hunk of plastic it means a lot to me

the early 2000s were a lawless wasteland of design

though good things have come from it also

yeah, plenty of cool shit and some unfortunate stuff. the computer graphics use of that style is often still pretty cool, futuristic... cant help but feel some of the hardware was kinda gaudy with all that plastic i mean christ

yeah for sure

lmfao. pixar ass niggas

it feels like it has merit for creating an intentionally gaudy aesthetic though

but it's not design for realistic, general, everyday use

i wonder how we'll look back on design from this decade

it feels like it's reached a similar longevity and timelessness as the international style

looks quite nice in promo shots, theres definitely a character across the design, i suppose the flaws or liberal (in broad sense, not political) design choices become more apparent/glaring once you see it in a real life context

its like if a concept car went straight into production

that's a good way of describing it

it

'

s designed for the sake of designing something that looks striking instead of for the sake of fitting in with the environment it's going to be used in

yea

there's a similar thing with big architecture projects in european city centres

because the project carries a lot of prestige the architects usually seem to design very striking buildings that might be interesting on their own but don't fit in with the traditional architecture around them

there's something to say for pushing the envelope on design and architecture which you can't do if you always need to hold back to consider what's already there

I've never understood the idealist view of the 50. Everyone living in houses that looked the same eating frozen dinners

i guess what's ugly or unfitting is subjective, but sometimes it just seems outlandish designs are being made for the sake of being different rather than good or beautiful

this building is in the middle of a canal surrounded by 19th and early 20th century architecture

i don't think it's beautiful, though it is interesting in a vacuum
