OS-tan Talk / OS-tan hot takes
Last post by Lily1027 - May 09, 2026, 11:26:06 AMWhat are some of your opinions about OS-tans that many people would probably disagree with?
My hot take is, that even though I like how the Animecore, Frutiger Aero, 2000s etc. aesthetics rised up the OS-tans's popularity a bit, I don't like that like 60% of the people just treats it like it is just a part of the aesthetics and are not really into OS-tans. For example, Madobe Nanami is kinda popular in the Frutiger Aero aesthetic, but most of these people just see her as some random Frutiger Aero character, and doesn't even knows her name actually, and calls her random names like Win-chan or Frutiger Aero-chan. No, Nanami is not Frutiger Aero-chan, Nanami is not just a Win-chan, she is a Windows 7-tan. Or ME-tan is just seen as a random anime character from the 2000s by majority of the people who are into these aesthetics. I don't say that everyone who know about OS-tans by those aesthetics are like this, I know some people got into OS-tans thanks to these aesthetics, but this is just my feeling that I've been noticing in the majority of things that focus on 2000s, Frutiger Aero etc.

Last post by VonDaab - May 09, 2026, 03:43:02 AMIn an earlier post I said that Wonderswans are expensive, indicating that I'd be okay with owning just a single one.
Well... now there's two.
Wonderswan Color stock screen was never great, and this is probably from the better side in clarity, sure, contrast is set bit low and screen lens has some degradation. Have to see if some polishing compound can fix that.
