What hair got in your ass OP?

that ceiling-wide skylight would fucking suck in the summer

>>154105566
If you're upset with someone confront them directly instead of making it our problem.

I experienced the 90s and I am nostalgic because everything was better back then. The economy was better, the job marker was better, demographics were better, lawfulness was better, music was better, toys were better, cartoons were better. We had hope for the future. We had the money to buy more stuff that lasted longer. We could stay out late because it was safer. Weekend cartoons had a plethora of artstyles and genres. And they had animation. Actual animation. And shading, and electric guitars in the music. The only thing that wasn't better in the 90s was the videogame graphics. But between how poorly optimized current games are, how expensive pc components have become, and how characters are designed to be ugly now, videogame visuals aren't much better thirty years later. Anyway. I don't see anything particularly 90s about the room.

>>154105769
Sorry but even though everything you said is objectively correct you're not allowed to like anything about the past or else you're just a nostalgiafag. Thus sayeth the internet, the supreme arbiter of all.

>>154105769
>We had hope for the future.
That's the missing piece. All the shittiness stems from this.

>all your toys and stuff start yellowing over time due the death ray-tier amounts of sunlight

at some point we have to stop dismissing it as just nostalgia and acknowledge, no, everything actually is way worse now.

>>154105736
It would suck in the winter too. No insulation.

>>154105736
It's a good thing Arnold's room in serviced by no less than 5 air conditioning vents that are clearly visible at the foot of his bed, otherwise the thing you said might be a problem.

>>154105835
I thought those were steps that lead to the roof

>>154105736

Hillwood, the city where Hey Arnold takes place in, canonically is in Washington State and is basically a hypothetical of "what if an NYC-sized city existed in the Pacific Northwest?" Both the summers and winters in coastal Washington are extremely mild and typically only have a handful of truly hot and cold days. It's one of the few locations where a fully glass roof like this makes sense.

Also I don't get what OP is mad about, a cool room is a cool room and it doesn't matter what year it's from.

>>154105566
Do you think Grandpa already had that attic finished, or he personally had it made livable specifically for Short Man? Like it used to be his own personal hideaway before they realized they were going to have to raise Arnold for years and turned into a bedroom. Or was it like a greenroom.

>>154105899
I could swear it was suppose to take place specifically in new york

>white cup with purple and green streaks
People memed these cups to be a big iconic thing, and yeah I remember them from mall food courts and stuff, but it's not like the cup itself was that amazing. It just reminds people of that era.

I do miss going to actual malls though. They're still around in places, but I doubt it's the same. Mine died long ago.

>>154105999
No people just think that because it's a huge American city. There are multiple references to Washington throughout the series and the sun is depicted as setting over the ocean rather than rising from it like you'd see in NYC. The creator said he basically fused elements of Seattle, Portland, and New York together to make a fictional Pacific Northwest city larger than one that actually exists.

>>154105566
OP straight-up posts like a Rick and Morty episode description in this one, broh

>>154105566
I actually do think it's a cool room.

>>154105566
OP I know you probably saw some post from like 10 years ago from a guy gushing about this room in the context of "remember the 90s" but it's genuinely a cool as fuck room and now amount of faggotry, be it from the post you read or your own faggy post, can change that.

>>154106174
only with a bullet

>>154105824
I highly doubt the taco you actually getting looked like that, anon

>>154106055
The mall near me is still open, but it's a shadow of its former self. Half of the store fronts are vacant and the other half are only open 3 or 4 days a week. There used to be an indoor water fountain that everyone used like a wishing well, but they removed it years ago to save on money.

>>154105807
no, that's just the reason that it hurts more.

>>154105999
It has a lot of turn-of-the-century-New-York-specific shit in it, but that's just part of 'city flavor'
>>154105566
I like the little oldtimey food-service window there. Prolly get some Fancy Lads snack cakes from that thing.
>>154105899
I mean, Seattle exists...
and yeah, the winters are mild on paper, but in practice, the higher humidity means they chill you to the bone. he'll be glad he has that radiator, even if it is constantly making noise and can't be shut off quickly when it's warm enough.

The Seattle Metropolitan Area had a population of about 2.75 million people in the mid-90s when Hey Arnold was being produced. NYC had a metropolitan population of about 17.5 million people. These really weren't, and still aren't, comparable cities. Bartlett was also basing this off of his own experiences growing up in Seattle in the 60s and 70s, when the disparity was even larger.

>>154107384
New York ain't shit! It's only good for the funny salsa commercials.

Guangzhou, China: 73.6 million. Shanghai, China: 42.3 million. Tokyo, Japan: 41.3 million. Delhi, India: 36.9 million. Jakarta, Indonesia: 29.8 million. Mumbai, India: 28.1 million. Manila, Philippines: 27.1 million. Mexico City, Mexico: 25.6 million. Seoul, South Korea: 25.4 million. Dhaka, Bangladesh: 23.7 million

Wow. That's a lot of non-American cities listed with population figures from after the mid-90s that have no bearing on the conversation about the size of the city depicted in Hey Arnold whatsoever. Great job anon. You sure showed nobody.

>>154107547
Here's your relevant timeline. GAY York is only third place:

I win! I win!

>>154106404
no but it was 89 cents.
the same product is $5 now, most places

>>154105566
So what was this room meant for before Arnold made it his room?

>>154107611
You dont "win" anything, nobody was contesting otherwise and international stats are irrelevant to the conversation regarding the relative sizes of American cities. You made up an "argument" for you to "win" in your own mind. This is the very definition of tilting at windmills.

>>154107696
NO! I WON! Admit it!

>>154107720
OK Don Quixote, you win. The windmills really were knights all along. Now go on, there's a river that needs crossing.

>>154105899
Finding out that Hey Arnold didn’t take place in New York was wild to me.

>>154105566
what about the lack of privacy? the people from the nearby building could see a boy getting changed and sleeping in his room

>>154105566
>This room has a ceiling mannn
It doesn't though.

>>154107793
If I remember right the apartments all around Arnold's were the same height, I don't think there was any risk of that.

>>154107771
It made no sense, it looked exactly like Brooklyn

There's no way that glass roof wouldn't be entirely covered in soot and pidgeon shit

>>154107829
Look up images of downtown Seattle from the mid 20th Century and it looks pretty much the same, the highway behind Arnold's house was even modeled after one that used to cut through downtown Seattle. People only associate that architectural style with New York because of how huge the city is culturally and how it's actively worked to.preserve those buildings, it used to be a common style in urban areas across the US.

>>154105889
They are.

I never did like Hey Arnold that much. It was pretty boring and not very funny from what I remember. Some good episodes here and there like the Birdman one. But, I was very jealous of his room. Don't talk shit about the ultimate fantasy 90s teenager room that I wanted.

I think Stevens bedroom is the only one that can really compete with Arnold's.
