A Nintendo64 with several game cartridges. It’s a little flaky, but it still works for the most part.

Californian. No.

It wouldn’t solve any problems that can’t be solved by other means, and it would create new problems that we haven’t had to worry about before. It’d be a net loss for everyone involved.

Terrible technique. Everyone knows it’s left hands only.

UI elements that expand and cover up other UI elements when you mouse over them.

“Flat” color schemes where you can’t even tell where one UI element ends and the other begins.
