04 ☆ Exceeding theoretical boundaries

[lingeringlegacy]

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

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?

That would be me. I guess we never got properly introduced before--I'm Lea; got it memorized?

And yeah, that might be better, but it's not like we can just drop a note in the Wilderness Suggestion Box to make the equipment slightly more to scale, unfortunately.

Pardon me, day in and day out, sometimes I lose track of journal conversations. My name is Stellaris.

It is not only the Wilderness that I mean, but also other objects in everyday life. If a portion of adults prefer child-like elements, it is curious that such designs don't crop up more in residential and work places. But I think Youth proposed an interesting hypothesis. [Draws an arrow to here.]

Oho, I do love semantics--he makes a good point. You can still act like a kid without acting like a spoiled brat. But I think a lot of people are scared to look child-like, so more youthful designs don't appear as often because folks are embarrassed. They can go to the Wilderness and goof off if they want, but if they have a slide in their backyard it's embarrassing. Ah, double standards.

Anyway, nice to meet you, Stellaris.
