Refrigerated fresh vegetables are much better than canned. Somewhere in between the '50s and today refrigerated got common and cheap and there was no excuse anymore for buying that soggy canned shit. I would’ve said the '90s were well after that point though. Anybody using canned green beans as a side in the '90s was just coasting on momentum and bad choices I think.
(There’s reasons to use canned – they make a good soup ingredient if you’re going to boil it to death anyhow, and they store better in your disaster prep bunker. But as a simple side for dinner, not a good choice.)
If you get killed by a particular enemy in a level, the next time you retry the level that enemy will be leveled up some.
It turns “oh this part is hard for me” into “JFCWTF?!” which is good for people who like to be frustrated and hate themselves, and also can make it feel like there’s more story development instead of replaying exactly the same level again and again
