Am I just being old and grumpy for disliking the neon advertisements? The commentators can't stop talking about how pretty they think it is, but I'm not seeing it. It's reminding me of cyberpunk 2077 except that in there it's pretty clear that those lights are indicative of society taking a wrong turn and ending up in a dystoptian hellscape.
I know the other tracks have ads too, but at least there they aren't pretending it's aesthetically pleasing.
Visually speaking, light ads (neon, leds) are noisier than passive (printed, painted) ads. It's basically visual pollution. As a kid I used to like it, but as an older person, I prefer calmer environments. I'm also against light pollution. Fireflights have disappeared near and in cities because of this. And we can't see a decent night sky anymore. I may be old and grumpy too... XD
