This man's outfit was peak for this time period. He probably leaned a little when he talked to the ladies in this swag gear.

I think that I saw that hat in storage about 10 years ago. The windbreaker unfortunately has gone the way of thrift a long time ago.

I wouldn't be surprised if I was wearing my Dream Team shirt underneath.

The year I got my SNES was the best christmas ever. It was so new I hadn’t ever heard of the console. I asked my parents for an NES, but never expected to actually get one because we were very poor.

I had to sell my NES and all my games and peripherals to get the SNES. My Mom wouldnt buy it for me even as a combo present. "You already have one!" she said.

Props to you for being a GSW fan in the 90’s and not hopping on the Bulls bandwagon.

Unfortunately, now the Bandwagon joined you.

I got myself a superNES emulator to relive exactly this feeling. The part im struggling with is how did I ever consider this entertaining? The games are so fucking hard, i can't believe i finished most of them back then. Apparently we all had the kind of patience that Buddhist monks spend their lives striving for.

There's a famous news clips where they asked a mom at a toy store if she'd buy her kid and SNES and she said something like "No. And I'm going to explain to him how companies market things to make you buy them"

I always felt bad for her kid. That's not how it works. That sucks that you missed out.

I doubt my mother did it intentionally. But the experience taught me that sometimes you have to sacrifice to get what you want. And that I had agency to go and get what I want if I accept the cost.

In hindsight, I didnt really miss out. I beat all my NES games. I didnt need to hold on to it.

We didn’t have shit to do but play games and go to school. I would spend literally HOURS in front of a single game trying over and over to beat it.

Then the game genie came out and we fucking murdered those hard games lol

That was a real thing, probably pushed by Rush Limbaugh. Same reason I lost my super soaker 50. If you had parents that considered console upgrades in the 90s you were lucky. People used to freak that you needed to buy new games for new consoles.
