I am so tired of those fake restoration videos on YouTube.

It's a Nintendo DS.

IT'S PLASTIC.

Why is there RUST?!

I hope that's a fake DS, man. Those are relics at this point, and seeing another old get destroyed for views feels awful to the soul.

Aside from the obvious materials issue... as a Mini-painter, the weathering job aint bad...

That's supposed to be rust? I've seen them come through the used store I work at looking like that, but it certainly wasn't rust and I'd rather not know what the hell it actually was. It's a daily ritual at this point to just guttingly cry into the void for people to please take care of their shit

There was one a while back where it was super obvious they just swapped a better condition one in

I especially "love" the ones where they "stumble upon" a retro game console in the middle of a field.

It's 2025 but look at this almost pristine condition Dreamcast floating in a mud puddle!

Haha I actually found a genesis at a rummage sale sitting under a table in a dirty bucket. Didn’t work right away and the light is burned out lol. Deffo not pristine :p

I did however find a Wii balance board in good condition on the side of the road once.

jfswift.bsky.social•68 days ago

That’s crazy when you consider the demand used to be so high you couldn’t find one anywhere

It's the same for me when I see those videos of people just going to fucking town with cleaning chemicals or just wasting absolute fuck tons of food. It legit just pisses me off

Sad thing is there are actually good restoration videos out there but much like the fake animal rescue videos they'd

Rather the quick buck that harms things and critters

So, that's not the Silent Hill edition?

garrethdilophosaur.bsky.social•68 days ago

It went through the wastelands of Fallout New Vegas to arrive. :3

The Nintendo ds lite is made of cheese. This is aged cheese.

Could be nicotine stains from a cigarette smoker.

It may be plastic, but over time, it can yellow and show signs of wear (or even become brittle).

This makes me think I should look into getting mine repaired or finding a "new" one. 🤔

candythefox2005.bsky.social•68 days ago

Yeah, plastic does yellow, but not that much in less than 20 years unless there are extraordinary circumstances.

They spilled Dr. Pepper all over their DS.

Maybe it's nasty body oil
