The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money::Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money.

I think all of us had the Cybertruck design back when we were about 4 years old.

That's funny, I've describe that monstrosity as "the truck of my dreams... when I was 4," more than once.

I mean, if I were working on that project I'd either laugh so hard everyday or I'd have to quit. It's just so comically bad.

I am also shocked Elon is not suing all the 4yr olds out there that have "stolen" his design.

It’s like a car from the N64 era. Nobody is nostalgic for the actual look and feel of the N64 era. Behold!

I've said it before, n64 games had more polygons than this. It's a virtualboy truck and it gives you a migraine to look at just like the virtualboy did.

actually... that kinda makes me nostalgic. No Mercy was the best, and it holds up pretty well!

No Mercy was the best

Huh, I've never seen anyone spell WCW/nWo Revenge that way before.

The game play is great, they don’t make ‘em like that anymore (or do they? Let me know). But no one’s making retro N64 era transitional 3d graphics is what I meant. Mario 64 is a great game but I don’t think I can think of a single game that actually tries to hit that aesthetic in modern times.

Super Kiwi 64, the Toree series, Dusk, Anodyne 2, a billion indie horror games, Frogun, Signalis, A Short Hike

I stand corrected. I think I’ve only heard of “A short hike” in the list you posted, but Super Kiwi 64 is… i don’t think I’ve seen anything like that in 20 years. Very interesting list, thank you.

It's kind of becoming a popular aesthetic again.
