There's a scene in the Ted series, which takes place in 1993, where John gets some NES games for Christmas. They're all from 1991 and before, so he's getting old games from an outdated console, which fits the show's narrative that the family is on hard times

"Lara looks better flat..." ATI's XPERT@Play 98, a mouthful of a GPU name, and not so much the banishment of triangular boobs, but for being flat-panel monitor ready out of the box. From what I've read, the chipset was an ATI Rage Pro Turbo, and it was pretty popular. 📖: CGW, Nov 1998

The Building Blocks of Tactical Espionage Action! In a big feature on Metal Gear Solid in November 1997's issue, GameFan magazine revealed that Hideo Kojima and Yoji Shinkawa used Lego to first build and test area layouts before moving to computer modelling.

DEHUMANIZE YOURSELF AND FACE TO BLOODSHED. In the city of disaster, it's the only way to survive. One of the earliest cyberpunk/post apocalyptic RPGs I've come across, and still one with peak 80s anime OVA rule of cool vibes. 📺: The Screamer, Magical Zoo, 1984 (PC-8801)

I've noticed a shift in the last two-ish years of people saying "human being" over "person." I.e. interviews where someone says "They're an amazing human being." It feels kind of odd and clunky and I'm not sure where it comes from.

One of Primetime's most interesting visual choices is the subtle grain on everything. I think it's emulating the fact that, by the 2000's, television was being shot digitally, but people were still watching it on analog CRTs. Also it's pillar-boxed which doesn't come across in screenshots either

Saturation is a little cranked, shadows and highlights are more extreme, everything's a little too sharp. The grain occurs when exposure is too high. A lot of artifacts of 2000s digital cameras not being super well-tuned for "cinematic" quality that makes most phone cameras flat and neutral.
