Lately, I've been thinking of some possible pop-culture ideas for a supplement to my rail TL, which is going rather slowly right now.
So far, I've conceived:
- Walt Disney quitting smoking after a cigar he forgot to put out blows up his parents' house in 1938.
- Fleischer Studios survives by embracing stories that have a sci-fi edge, with Superman being their first attempt at an animated film in 1940.
- The Nintendo-Sony partnership happening under different circumstances; as Sony buy Nintendo in 1987.
- Later on in the late 90s, Microsoft uses Sega's beginning struggles as a way to enter the game industry.
