Well, we are lucky here in that unless you live in a real rural area, most of the time you can get rid of your car and live just fine. I walk everywhere, sold my car a year ago and never looked back. Everywhere here, at least south coast, is walkable for pedestrians. All grocery stores do home delivery. Trains are going through strike action constantly it seems, but they do exist and work fine most of the time, bus network is actually good in my area.

I have an almost unbroken pedestrian walk for a full 20 miles stretch - and that’s just walking past the main towns, not including time in them. And these towns contain buildings from the 1500s - didn’t have cars back then, and a load of the old town layouts are still present in my area. No cars were around back then, and they’re just as walkable now.

Not like America where jaywalking exists and you literally can’t walk anywhere in car-centric places

Edit: didn’t even mention the other thing we have here - bike hire, everywhere. I can bring up the app on my phone and see where the nearest bike/electric bike/electric scooter is, walk there, tap its panel with my phone to unlock and off I go. I do that when I’m being lazy. I’ve just checked and there are six bikes available down my road in the nearest bay.

When the older generation who steadily support them through everything finally die off.

Yeah, and with duckstation it doesn’t even need work if you use the controller/bigscreen UI. Press menu, video, and check the options you want. Done.

Just use duckstation to emulate MGS1. You can have the original 320p image if you want, or use the wide-screen hack, perspective correction (no warping polys) and texture packs for a more modern experience. Why people pay for these half arsed shitty emulation collections is beyond me.

Yep. I’m moving this month and not renewing.
