Me today with a co-worker, discussing Kingdom Come 1. They were impressed with the game's attention to detail but one thing stood out, the save-game potion label/icon "doesn't look quite right"...
Well, it's a floppy disk!
"Huh?"
You're right, my bad, it's Total Commander smh
There's any number of those kinda skeuomorphic icons that don't have a connection to anyone past, say, a 2000 birth date. Save, Phone, Voicemail, even Email and Camera to an extent. They just know them as a pictogram that means that thing
Phone cameras at least still partially resemble point-and-click cameras. I don't think there's any way to develop out of the need for optical lenses, so that will always be recognizable. That said, I was at a wedding recently and it was hilarious to watch children run around with disposable cameras and get confused that they had to wind them between shots and couldn't see the photos immediately, hah.
As someone that is currently going through KC1 and is old enough to have used floppy disks, this hurts me so deep.
