Oh, thank you for the heads up. I got excited at the prospect of restoring it. I like to restore stuff when I can. Usually is more wood related items. Sad to hear this, but thank you for informing me though.

Maybe I’ll just have it like it is. I’ll call it a “sepia vintage” look as a cool spin to pretend I’m not jealous that others got better and more durable plastic for the same price as me.

Cheers and thanks again.

Wow. This has to be one of the most phenomenal hacks that someone has presented me in a long time.

I had no idea of this.

Thank you very much.

No. No smokers. And the console was stored in the original box in a closet. Not in the corner collecting dust. So it must be the plastic it was used somehow. Sad. I always really liked the Dreamcast look. And it is still one of my favorite controllers after so many years.

Is anyone else’s Dreamcast yellow now?

I bought it in the year it was released and it was used quite a bit (euphemism) back then. But I dug it from the closet it was stored in and now is yellow. Remote control and all. All the consoles stored along with it still look the same. All the older ones looking the same as they always were, but Dreamcast decided to have that “we’re fucking old” moment with me. Haven’t tried turned it on out of fear of mortality being the next reminder it has in store for me.

I was registered on Lemm.ee. Now I’m registered on piefed.social. So, technically not Lemmy anymore. I do suspect a lot us moved to piefed. That was the general buzz. I genuinely don’t know if the posts and comments of Piefed don’t track on Lemmy. I’m sure the ones amongst piefed users in piefed instances don’t though. That alone could justify a substantial part of that drop. But I’m still here interacting with Lemmy.
