Ahh yes, Cobra Command, Astron Belt, Mad Dog McCree, Crime Patrol, Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, etc. Even Movie CD and CDi during the 90s, and even DVDs from the 90s and 2000s used that same aesthetic of gaming

I like the Galaxy S3 but it's way too big for me. Even my S3 mini is just slightly too big for my hands.
The iPhone 4 I was using was no joke the perfect fit for my girly hands, it's square shape meant I could rest it on my pinkie finger while still being able to touch the top of the screen with my thumb because of the tiny size it was so good.
Your options in that would be something like:
- Galaxy Folder 2 (it looks cool but seems rather large though I guess that wouldn't be so much of an issue since I'm not covering a screen that happens to also respond to touch, also there is only one model of it that runs Android 7 while all the other models including the 2021 refresh run Android 6 because ????)
- LG Wine Smart (I personally don't like the design of this phone, the keys for it remind me too much of those shitty budget Alcatel phones and the new Nokia shit I really hate it. Not sure about what version of Android it runs)
- Cat S22 (seems ok but I personally don't like the design of this either)
- Japanese Flip (Usually referred to as Keitai phones but I think that is just the general term for phones in Japan?)
Japanese flips are a fun one, a lot of them won't work in a lot of places in both Europe (usually 3g only because not using the right 4g bands) and America (missing the right 4g bands as well and I'm pretty sure 2g/3g is dead over there).
There was one Japanese flip I was eyeing recently and that was the Mode 1 Retro II. It was made after 2021 so it is not sim locked by law and seems to support a few of the 4g bands over here, runs Android 13, has a touch screen and it's not very wide which is a positive for me. It's so fucking expensive though, almost £300 fuck man I'm poor.
As I said before, modern phones are a fucking disgrace and it's retarded that I have to look to a country that won't sell the phones I want internationally because no one would buy them to get something that is not completely miserable to use.
God I hate modern phones FUCK

A VW Touareg with the V6 TDI could do twice that, and it weighs more.
A late 90s Chevy Blazer could even do better than that, and it weighs about the same and doesn't have the benefit of turbo or maps for high octane gas, is AWD/part time 4WD, has only a 4 speed automatic, sits a lot higher off the ground, and is a lot less aerodynamic.
I'm not sure why they went with the Rube Goldberg approach. They could have stuck the electric motor on the front or rear of the engine, like a Honda Insight, or they could have stuck it inbetween the transmission and transfer case. Either way would be a lot less complex than this and probably at least a couple hundred pounds lighter.

I hate how everything has to have a 'cutesy' and 'fun' error message now. Website not loading? Application crashed? Failed to apply updates? "=((( WHOOPSIE POOPSY WE MADE A 'LIL FUCKIE-WUCKIE OH NOOEZ WE'RE SENDING OUR UNDERPAID CODEMONKEY PAJEETS TO LOOK AT IT RIGHT NOW PLZ DON'T HATE US )))= WE'RE NOT GOING TO ACTUALLY GIVE YOU ANY USEFUL OR MEANINGFUL INFORMATION BECAUSE YOU'RE PROBABLY A GAY RETARD 
", I don't want that fucking bullshit, I want it to explain to me why it fucking crashed or failed instead of talking down to me like I'm a retard or something. It's worse than the old vague error messages that everything used to spit out because at least those you could look up in a manual or online, now it doesn't even give you a damn code most of the time and insults your intelligence while not doing so. I don't want my computer, or any software I use to pretend like it has a personality. I want it to behave as the Godless machine [or assembly of code] that it is and tell me what the fuck is wrong with it. I want dry error screens like "BUFFER OVERRUN AT ADDRESS [RANDOM NUMBERS/HEX]" because I'm not an idiot. Did they do this to be "personable" or did they just do it so that retards wouldn't be terrified of using computers anymore?
Also the fact that my phone keeps bitching about being out of storage space because something like 13GB of my 16GB internal memory is taken up by some nebulous "other" category and using it for about four hours throughout the day is enough to fill up the cache of several applications. Why is there no fucking means to clear the caches of multiple applications at once? Why is there no way to set it to automatically do this at a certain time because I know it will throw up the "storage space running out" message like clockwork every day. Why do I need to install third party applications to actually get any of these functions?

This! I kinda get it for mainstream stuff, but even tor does that shit, their error message has a gayass furry emoji in it ";3" I fucking hate that so muchI hate how everything has to have a 'cutesy' and 'fun' error message now.

Game: "Your Nvidia driver is five years old! C'mon, Sparky! Ditch that C-64 and get with the times!"
Nvidia updater: "No updates are available."
Okay, so you're just trying to fool and/or shame me into buying a newer card. Go choke on an ocean of cocks and die in a fire.

Don't care. If they want their fucking problems solved, the only thing wrong with this error message is that it isn't detailed enough, they could have fitted more information into a full-screen 640x480 dialogue.
There is nothing more annoying than trying to support application software and being sent a screenshot- or a scanned printout of a screenshot or a cameraphone picture- of an error dialogue box with an unexpanded 'show details' option.

I would download videos of upcoming N64 games from IGN64 on my blazing fast 32k connection, and I'd sometimes get an error that said something like , "Connection reset by peer." I used to think, "Why is Peer Schneider personally fucking with my shit?" Peer Schneider was the editor of IGN64.

I absolutely hate the specs race culture Nvidia fostered, and I hate the corpos/consoomers who enable it by refusing to compromise instead of emptying their salary on a specs bump of a negligible, realistic use-case relevancy. A card isn't going to combust if these artificial warnings are ignored.
