!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.

SNES did it first

It has more red than the other colours though.

Right!

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

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

SEGA

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe steam can take yellow since it is open

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Purple was their colour for a while.

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

You sure are lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep. That’s how branding works.

Also how industries get monopolized

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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