I'm not sure where else to ask this but I am trying to remember the title for this computer game I played growing up. It starred this kid Peter (he had another game as well) and his cousin and the colour had been taken from their world and this big fly shows up and tells them they need to restore the colour everywhere. You went to an Aztec dig site and the Taj Mahal (or somewhere in India) and other places looking for specific colours.

I remember playing this game all the time but I cannot for the life of me remember what the gently caress it was called except the one character was named Peter and he had a loving stupid haircut.

Does it ring any bells for anyone or is there a better place I can go to ask this?

I hate having pictures of real people up on my walls. I feel like they're constantly judging me, staring at me and reminding me how my life didn't turn out the right way even though I thought I did everything right and having a decent job and education was all I needed. Video game posters and stuff don't judge me and remind me about how much fun they are, so that's why I brought along my game posters and other decorative crap along with me when I grew up.

And I don't really have any keepsakes aside from travel photos, which are all digital. Souvenirs that aren't video game related don't mesh with my collection, and therefore I'd rather just take a photo and keep it digital than have it take up space in my home.
yeah pictures of real people are kinda creepy to have around. Like, at this point in my life, the only people I visit who have photos of real people everywhere are my family, where the photos are of me, and my friends who have kids, where the photos are of their kids. Both of these disturb me for different but often similar reasons.

Though the only posters I really have are a Ziltoid the Omniscient poster which I never got around to hanging up and is faintly embarassing now, and a framed Chris Simpsons Artist print my friend got me for my birthday, which owns, so I basically have no personality I guess.

posters for exhibits or whatever are a good thing to decorate an academic office w/

yeah, true. i have a bunch of posters for operas around my desk and it always makes faculty and students happy to come in and see that i remembered them and am celebrating their successful performances.

old movie posters are also good if you have a room that's basically just for watching TV and movies, as are old newspapers with sports headlines and stuff. wall decoration is good, all hail the majora's mask remake.

I just looked up Deemo and it seems to be some kind of Slenderman Rhythm game?? I never really got TWEWY, everyone seems to love it but wandering around this bland cityscape performing arbitrary objectives for the baddies did nothing for me, 0 adventurefeels
