iPhone OS 1.0...? (2007)
Little experiment I did to see what iOS would've looked like if they never used squircle shaped icons, kinda like what Android did. Also semi-inspired by macOS' shift from various shaped icons to just squircles in Big Sur/Tahoe as well, just in reverse.

because modern tech kinda sucks nowadays, from high prices to ram to nickel-and-dime-ing customers via subscriptions/in-app purchases/ads/etc., unnecessary ai integration.

Gen Z are going retro, with studies showing a resurgence in people buying tech in the modern age that can be dated back decades.

So, it turns out that there was a lost port of Wii Sports to the DS... and I just so happened to come across a copy!
(This is fake, nothing more than a mockup. I just made this as a "what if": what if Nintendo made some Wii-series games for the DS?)

Windows Iodine (2010)
Looked up a bunch of old official Microsoft concepts and tried to make a mockup based on them - some medical concept around the Metro era in this case. The boot screen turned out alright but the desktop (not posted) didn't turn out so well IMO.

Twitter punishes you for replying to accounts that don't follow you, for getting muted or blocked, for not paying for premium, even for swearing. Every incentive pushes you toward being an anti-social, status-obsessed striver who treats basic interaction like a liability
