!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

So with Xbox on its way out in this decade who is going to be green?

Maybe the steam deck can reclaim Steam's old green theme.

Tbf PlayStation had all of them back then

So did nintendo with the 64

SNES did it first

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 5 days ago

It has more red than the other colours though.

[–] kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Right!

They also had an opening jingle that sounded like stepping through a portal to an exotic dimension.

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 2 points 5 days ago

That's probably because Sega still had blue at the time.

SEGA

The real reason why we couldn't keep both Sega and Playstation

That was more just the Soul Calibur II team deciding colors for them

Xbox and Nintendo stick to the scheme more aggressively than PlayStation most of the time

[–] scheep@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

someone should make a yellow console. Yellow is a good colour.

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What about purple? purple goes great with black, grey & white.

[–] scheep@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

purple would be cool too. orange would also be interesting...

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Maybe steam can take yellow since it is open

[–] scheep@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

A yellow steam deck and/or steam machine would be cool

[–] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I remember when the Nintendo color was orange. I may just be thinking of the light gun that came with it...

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago

Purple was their colour for a while.

I think their colour was grey before that. But they had red, then purple accents. Foreshadowing!

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

You sure are lol

[–] Devadander@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yep. That’s how branding works.
