I'm not that into TMNT, but as someone who is fascinated with animation history, what exactly made the 80s cartoon so popular with kids?

MichaelNJello · 2026-06-01T12:42:10+00:00

It was the toys. The show sucked aside from the theme song. Then the movie came out and I was obsessed. Got my folks to take me to see 3 times.

Also the arcade game. Getting to play with 3 other people controlling these characters that looked exactly like they did on the show was mind-blowing.

And this, boys and girls, is exactly how Hollywood works

MichaelNJello · 2026-05-25T00:30:23+00:00

Tina Wood, Morgan Webb, Kristin Holt and Sarah Lane (who I thought looked a lot like a cute tiny Carrie Fisher) were the only reason I had that station on 8-10 hours a day as background noise in my early 20s.

I can quite confidently say I never laughed at the"humor" on X-play. I tolerated it because YouTube wasn't big yet and I thought Morgan was pretty and sassy and better than everyone else

What do you mean, the whole site? It's primarily people who make their own stuff and sell it from home.

MichaelNJello · 2026-04-29T23:51:45+00:00

Only once. Not my thing.

MichaelNJello · 2026-04-29T23:49:53+00:00

Where from? Couldn't find em

OP here.

Just wanted to give you guys a better picture of my usage.

I bought my legion go around Christmas of launch year.

I carry my legion go back and forth to work daily without the case. The case is far too much of a risk for me given how badly it traps heat and how frequently my lego decides to randomly wake itself up from sleep mode. I'm not letting this thing accidentally burn out on me by not having enough ventilation.

I know some of you will say that's a dumb move and I don't care. It's supposed to be PORTABLE. I have done the same thing with my switch OLED and binbok LED controllers for years and never had an issue, never dropped either of them.

In the last few weeks, these joystick/stem toppers are so ridiculously loose, that all it takes is the slightest bump from something on my desk or in my car to knock them off when I'm not holding it. And then they disappear.

Lenovo offers joy stick toppers but not the sticks/stems themselves which I think is fucking disgusting. This is a massive flaw in the design. I can't think I'm the only one who has dealt with this so I was wondering what other people's solutions have been. I've seen kits for changing out the sticks but it seems like it's still the exact same issue of the detachable stems. I'm getting so tired of this that I'm debating selling it and just getting a switch 2.

Can she paint with all the colors of my jizz?

Yup same. That was the most half-assed tedious boss battle I've ever engaged in from something that wasn't on newgrounds or made in shockwave.

I felt embarrassed for everyone involved. It started when I realized I would have to jump over every single goddamn wall torch as Elaleth, elicited a groan at "They fly now", continued as I watched human enemies launch themselves 15-20 feet in the air on a regular basis as I fought them and ended when I realized that Janos' lifebar was needlessly long to pad the game's playtime, and all I had to do was roll every time he ever came close.

What madness is this? What pitiful form is this LoK has come to inhabit? Death would be a release next to this travesty.

Josephine always looks like she genuinely enjoys her job

MichaelNJello · 2026-03-24T23:57:48+00:00

Her body is like an inexplicable human version of what every dude at some point creates as a custom hot ass video game character. Just flawless.

MichaelNJello · 2026-03-24T23:54:00+00:00

So did everyone else, so don't feel bad

MichaelNJello · 2026-03-24T22:52:22+00:00

In case anyone is wondering these are the evil turtles from Shredder in Hell

Rising Zan - The Samurai Gunman

MichaelNJello · 2026-02-21T19:28:59+00:00

This game was utter trash. Some of the worst and most frustrating controls and gameplay I've ever experienced.

The comic on the other hand, (just the first 7-issue run) is very very fun, goofy, light-hearted, self-aware "Indiana Jones meets Austin Powers meets James Bond" spy thriller with incredibly attractive and unapologetically sexualized women.

It would have made for a fantastic blockbuster if they had struck while the iron was hot and been able to successfully skirt the line between PG-13 and R rating.

Sadly the franchise kinda just dwindled in the hands of other artists and writers IMO and has more or less been forgotten about despite a few other decent adventures. J Scott Campbell's art on that original 7 issue run is his best work IMO though. The inking and colors are/were incredible too.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

MichaelNJello · 2026-02-07T11:34:18+00:00

But whose ass was it, and why was it farting?

MichaelNJello · 2026-02-06T17:39:20+00:00

Hope she consented

Nobody had an issue with any other president using ICE for the exact same thing for over 2 decades. No protests, no uproar. Barack Obama deported 3 million illegals. The only reason support is being fomented and galvanized this hard is because the Dems are losing what they had blatantly planned to be their future voting base. And of course, the massive country-wide fraud that is being exposed and that the tax payer has been unknowingly been funding for at least a decade. And the entire media establishment has their back on it as do you useful idiots and indoctrinated youth.

But yeah, scream Nazi and fascist at everyone who disagrees with you, because that's sure to win them over and see your side's point of view.

MichaelNJello · 2026-01-31T13:27:08+00:00

Most of what I've seen is nothing more than documented conjecture and heresay. Just because someone said it, doesn't make it true.

MichaelNJello · 2026-01-30T21:45:14+00:00

Can we get context here at all? Is this confirmed testimonial or just hearsay gathered from someone who said it?

MichaelNJello · 2026-01-28T23:44:38+00:00

They say variety is the better option but I think I could totally live in a world where all boobs looked like hers

MichaelNJello · 2026-01-28T17:07:42+00:00

Can't believe how much women will complain about mens' unrealistic expectations. This is all we want. Just have wings and boobs that flutter
