Yeah I mean, good for y'all if you like it and I'm happy to have been wrong about it, but that was such a weird "take that" that I'm half-convinced it's someone on the production crew gone salty

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

😌Finally, an avatar the describes my love of tech❤️‍💻, my love of anime💖🎎, and why I'll never see a real girl 🙆‍♀️naked😭.

Playing the remaster of Klonoa (A very pleasent "Wahooo" to everyone who wants one) reminds me of a lot of that era of mascot platformers and Playstation/Saturn games; specifically, making them reletively short but hard as hell, and also how "checkpoints" were something that took us a good ten to twenty further years of development to really understand.

Klonoa looked like a standard bubblegum cute platformer, but the plot was really messed up. You battle with your cutesy sidekick to save your world from the evil whatever, and at the very end your sidekick basically reveals "actually you don't really exist, I just conjured you up to help me save this world" and then you disappear.

This feels like peak late 80s/early 90s interior design with grandma's sofa from 1975 inexplicably dropped in the middle of it all.

Oh no
Gonna disagree there. Striped couches like that were definitely later than the early 80s according to my degrading fuzzy memory.

Yeah, that's Tony Marquez as Kung Lao, John Parrish as Jax, and Kerri Hoskins as Sonya.

I assume Kung Lao killed the presenter when he threw his hat out of the frame.

Yikes! pencils were not functionally great as pencils, but I was slightly cool for five minutes when I used them in second grade. Mission accomplished?

This kind of decor went completely extinct so fast it's incredible in retrospect. You can find more holdovers from the Deepest Seventies than you can from the early 90s.

There were all sorts of weird pencils back then. I had a bunch that were triangular, which seemed cool until I realized I had to sharpen them and they wouldn't fit in the sharpener.

I think I remember those. The '90s were the golden era of weird and wonderful school supplies: Yikes and triangular pencils, Trapper Keepers, Lisa Frank. There was even colorful glue:



It's another school thing that seemed cool at first but ultimately was just glue. I'm not sure the color even stayed when the glue dried.

The faded poster still has more vibrant color than those glues after drying

Remember the pencils that were a series of just tips on a tube, and when it went too dull, you'll pull it out, and then slide it back into the top of the pencil to "load" the next tip?

Looks like they still sell them:

It did, but the color became a bit more muted. Didn’t you have to make glue art in school?

In third or fourth grade we discovered we could put a piece of construction paper into a bottle of glue and the color would leach out and make your glue be any color you want.

These were the nuclear option if you were throwing, shooting things at other kids. You could load a single bullet "lead", put your finger on the tip when you blew to build up pressure and when you removed it would fly across the room at considerable speed
