Some text from a constructed world I play around with that leans into an 80s tech aesthetic. FTL communication exists, but the data rate is comparable to a dial up modem. Vibrant multimedia experiences like we see on the modern web do exist, but isolated to planet-wide internetworks. Interplanetary communication is a purely text-based affair.

A retro mini laptop designed for writing. It is a personal, inspiring device where a writer can find solitude and immerse themselves in.

I own one of these. They are surpassingly more comfortable than I thought, but I have small hands. I was disappointed by the full “beige” one called Tofu, that turned out to just be peach instead.

Was looking through my old book marks when I came across this artist and reminded me of this community

Loki’s retrofuturistic look is one of the reasons I fell in love with the show.

It was like holding the future in your little 10 year old hands.

This doesn’t come in the size for my iPhone, but if it did I would splurge on getting it.

I’ve been into retro futuristic styles for some time and cassette futurism is one of my favs, so I am hoping this sub stays active. I’ve started collecting some things that mimic the style.

Sadly doesn't work anymore as it was dropped and damaged. Found it at an ewaste site with the idea to build an ITX pc inside with a little DIY digital oscilloscope replacing the screen connected to the audio out so you can see the wave form as you listen to music or play games

Z80 CPU, 2.03 MHz. 4kb of ram. No drives, just a cassette player/recorder, which frequently would lose your programs.

Released in 1984 this stereo radio cassette recorder has speakers which are moveable and removable which also act as it's battery compartments.
