04 ☆ Exceeding theoretical boundaries

Playgrounds are designed for use by children. Why do adults seem to derive enjoyment from it as well?

Nostalgia?

Or maybe it's the fact that running around and climbing on brightly colored plastic or wooden pirate ships never quite loses its appeal.

Edited 2010-09-24 03:50 (UTC)

Even in a place where we forget?

And even when you get stuck due to improper usage?

We may not remember exact instances, but it's hard to deny the feeling of nostalgia has a tendency to pop up when we least expect it.

I've not had the unique pleasure of getting stuck, and don't plan on it. But I could probably get hours of fun out of laughing at someone who did.

quicklog--OOC

live_ringer - 2010-10-04 03:17 (UTC) - Expand

Adult in body does not equal adult in mind. A lot of big dogs always continue to think they're still lap-dogs/puppies.

But the playground equipment are designed for children bodies. I suppose if one suffers from dwarfism they can still fit.

Yeah, maybe. Do we have any of those?

There's things that are meant for adults that kids like! Like swords and crossbows. Or pets!

Swords and crossbows are weapons, they can be dangerous for children! But pets are nice, I think.

Not if you train them how to use them right! Youth's teaching me how to protect myself!

Because they are idiots.

Your hypothesis is certainly at variance with others'. But I'm afraid I have not observed signs of profound mental retardation in the adults who claimed to enjoy the current Wilderness. Is it correct if I assume you do not enjoy it?

Oh, come on, you're never too old to have a little fun, right? Besides, nobody here knows how old they actually are, anyway.

This handwriting is... Kagerou's brother, if I'm not mistaken?

It is just strange to be use something not for its purpose as designed. As I mentioned to Youth above, if adults find wide appeal in playground designs, would it not be better to build adult equipments using the same design elements?

I think Youth's got it. You can enjoy stuff like a kid without becoming one.

I do wonder why there aren't more things geared at adults with designs normally associated with children things, if such sentiments are really prevalent. Did you like playing there too, Smoke?

Yes, that playground. What do you mean by obstacles to mobility?
