  • I mean…yea?

    Game development and design has evolved tremendously over the decades since those retro games were made. Systems are also just physically capable of so much more.

    This inevitably means that a lot of the small design mistakes of those old titles have long since been rectified because we understand now that those aspects weren’t part of what made those games fun — they were just the limitations and scope of knowledge of that era.

    This isn’t to say those games are bad, I still play the old classics on my Switch when I have access to them, same with the classic catalogue on PS+, but definitely a lot of them just have modern parallels that do the same thing so much better that it isn’t even worth going back to play them.


  • That’s a problem with general culture of an area though, not public transit.

    It’s dangerous for people of those demographics to be alone practically anywhere in public — not just on public transit. It entirely will depend on the local climate, though, with areas that lean more red having a more oppressive culture than elsewhere.

    Framing it as “them being afraid of taking transit” paints it as being the problem itself instead of as a consequence of a much larger issue.
