This is so real omg- I'm actually getting this really cool little tech thingy called a Divoom Tiivoo 2. It's kind of transparent and I think it fits this category a bit. If you search it up, you'll see that it's half and half. I think it really gives that retro tech vibes, it even has a radio!!? and pixel art, it's so cool
mp3 players, ipods, fishnet socks, cd slots in macbooks, clothes coming with thread for when a button falls off or you need to patch a hole, affordability. what happened? :(
Back to basics if you need a detox, strictly limited to calls and texts. Way more durable, easier to fit in your pocket. Much more aesthetically pleasing and cool than iphone or android. Should be at the forefront the same way vinyls are back on the menu.
me and my friends organized a mario kart tournament in our local bar, invited a drag queen to host it (she was dressed like mario π) and we djβd in the background while people were all sitting by tables and watching the game. the crowd was super cute and friendly. the bar let us do our set design thingy so we had video art, flowers and different kinds of cozy lighting. one of our friend was playing a live set using his gear (synthesizers, drum machine etc) and samples from the mario world. he was epic. this was such a wholesome thing to organize, everyone seemed to have a sweet time and the bar staff constantly told us how cute they thought all of this came together. i really appreciate spaces that let artists do their thing and i love how everyone in the room felt united because of the game and the music. i dont really enjoy watching sports in bars but now i get it. its this feeling.
