Some of the things in Torn, like CDs and MP3 Players, are obsolete by today's standards, and likely to be causing some new players to be scratching their heads, wondering what they are. Most things are probably still safe from this, though. What do y'all think? Personally, I'd replace CDs with flash drives, and MP3 Players with whatever the hell you call their modern equivalent. Smartphones, maybe?
Is Torn a bit dated?

likely to be causing some new players to be scratching their heads None. Literally zero players are "scratching their heads." You want to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

You complain about CDs and MP3 players, but all good for you is that there are still floppy disks for computer viruses.

First of all, suggestions go in the suggestion section of the forum.
Second, terribly pointless suggestion.

People who play text based browser games are not the same people who wonder "hm what's that MP3 player thing those dumb boomers are talking about"
is your mom a bit dated?
Been dating her for 13 years so she's doin something right.
Tweaker shit isn't supposed to make sense. Stop overthinking it or stop playing sober.
Maybe when you are upgrading all of the technology you could upgrade crimes as well.
i think calling it crimes 2.0 would be a cool name.

I think maybe we should hire just one specific person to solely focus on this crimes 2.0 you talk of too and have them write it all.
Dedicated to just one job, I think it'll be done quite quickly.

If me being 25 years old and knowing what is VHS, walkman , poloroid camera and dial internet without growing up with those things then I'm pretty sure generation bellow Zoomers knows what are CD and MP3 players.
We are young, not stupid. Not a single person is scratching their heads when you can just Google it or use your imagination at the worst.
Torn is nice piece of history, let it stay like this.

This is by far the longest game I’ve played so far
I’m a PC gamer with a high end PC and alll those games with amazing graphics and high refresh rates still get boring to me after while. Beer said it right. This game is doing something right.

I scratched my head wondering what the point of this thread was lol.
I'm gonna go make a Q&A thread asking people what the f**k an MP3 player is since me not knowing is detrimental for my gameplay.
I'm pretty sure the generation below zoomers are still in diapers so atm they don't know shit,
but regardless your point still stands.
