    Seems a bit odd to have so much standard, correct-era tech. Having anachronism seems like the point, the futurism bit. Like Quadrilateral Cowboy, or often Cowboy Bebop.

    The one exception may be the stuff like that Nissan 300ZX (1985) digital dashboard, that feels anachronistic in an entirely different way. I could imagine a 3hr video essay on how expensive the design was, or perhaps a Technology Connections breakdown of the functionality/workings/issues etc.

      You’ve found a way to sum up how I feel. I haven’t been able to put it in words, but the place definitely has a different vibe post-ressurection

      That’s not to say I’m not happy to see more activity. I just miss the “fantasy retro” computers
