Others getting nostalgia over the Xbox 360 reminds me how old I am!

I just bought this the other day, https://www.retro-gamer.de/shop/heft/retro-gamer-2-26-einzel... The Xbox 360 is now considered a retro gaming device, that was such a reminder how old I am now, to note my first home computer was a Timex 2068.

The Xbox 360 is about as old now as the NES was when the Xbox 360 came out.

I don't know if the Altair 8800 would count as my first home computer, as I was too young to really understand what it was and mostly just liked to play with the paper tape feed on the Teletype attached to it. By the time we got the PET 2001, I was old enough to actually use it as intended.

Man you really nostalgia pilled me. It's lovely and a work of art. What's the deal with the audio delay showing up for button taps until the icons have loaded?

Now for an additional kickback: nostalgia induced here is about the NXE, but it famously displaced the original Blades dashboard.

Anyone know what the music visualizer is? It's certainly not the real one[0], but looks a lot like the Winamp AVS/MilkDrop stuff. My Inspect Element -fu was however insufficient for getting a closer look. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_(music_visualization)

Judging from the code, it's most likely Butterchurn or some fork.

Fun fact: On the lower right corner there is the Xbox logo emitting waves to an imaginary surface below. The pattern is a watermark for the serial number of the device to be identified in case of leaked footage. Only during development of Xbox.

Yeah, and that is why some of us feel rather old. :)

I still remember when all that Nintendo had were Game & Watch handhelds, before NES came to be.

And what does the pattern on this site decode to? Maybe some nifty easter egg?
