I think the self-driving cars have a higher bar to clear than a human driver because one bad driver is one bad vehicle, while one bad AI driver is thousands (or more) of bad vehicles, but ultimately technologically-driven navigation will be much safer and is something we must should invest in.

It's funny cause looking back I think it was a result of poor budget instead of a deliberate choice of atmosphere. If anything the intended playful atmosphere accidentally made it more creepy? Like being at a fairground after closing hours. If that makes sense

Probably my first time being scared shitless by a video game (I was an easily terrified child)

The strange emptiness of this game terrified me as a kid. I was constantly uneasy and waiting for a big scare that never came. I absolutely had surreal nightmares about the cartridge/game being haunted and refused to keep playing it

(I am genuinely affectionate of these memories btw)

Two things can be true: informal systems of retributive justice or corporal/capital punishment would be *vastly* worse than today's system, AND we should not let a failure of imagination or hope extinguish the idea that prisons aren't an inevitable feature of human society.

Squaring the circle of "how do you protect everyone without immiserating* some" is a maybe impossible task but I view it as anchoring to universal human dignity rather than inevitable trespass against that dignity.

*including the kind of vigilante "justice" murders the post above is advocating.
