Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I've seen some attempts at making clear casings for new stuff, it's shit.
It worked in the 90s/early 00s because those controllers/handhelds were half empty space, a simple circuit board and a few bulky components.
Nowadays most of the time there would just be a big metal shield and a huge battery covering everything, and since it's so packed inside it doesn't really catch the light.
Like the translucent Xbox controllers ms released a couple of years ago. It basically has a shell underneath the shell.
That photo looks awesome, wonder if it’s as cool in the real world.
