I mean just an example:

Step 1: Commit murder
Step 2: Destroy evidence
Step 3: Delete memory of you committing the murder
Step 4: Live guilt free
Step 5: Profit?

    I would be very weary of doing that, some of my favorite media was good because of the circumstances I was in when I first consumed it.

    One such example for me is Metal Gear Solid, a lot of what made that game so special for me would not be the same today, some examples:

    • Controls were good back then, but today they would be very bad.
    • I didn’t spoke English back then, so a lot was trial and error until I found a version in Spanish, and then I loved the way the game tells you what to do (by radio calls) but that would be very annoying today
    • There’s one part that it needs you to look at her physical game box, which wouldn’t be a thing nowadays.
    • Psycho mantis, all of it, but namely:
      • He named other games I played (by reading my memory card, which is not a thing anymore)
      • He made my controller move by itself (nowadays everyone knows controllers vibrate, I sure didn’t back then)
      • I needed to plug my controller to the second slot (controllers no longer have slots now)
    • At the time I liked the story, nowadays I think I would roll my eyes to lots of it.

    And just like that I feel that every media I liked might have lots of stuff that depends on the situation I consumed it originally.
