You're right with me up to the point we reach the kinds of censorship you happen to support.

What's the penalty for incurring the ire of the social justice elite? Well, only that you'll be branded a sexist or whatever by the entire gaming media, perhaps have your Twitter account banned or your videos taken down from YouTube, or maybe you'll just be arrested on false charges of harassment. It's a storm that a strong individual might weather, but from which any company will steer away automatically. Of course it's censorship.

Games are being censored (they came for the japanese bikini simulators and I said nothing...); social media is being censored: Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, Wikipedia and any number of even less reputable sites are being censored - all in response to social justice histrionics. This crybaby, zero-offence, closed-minded, closed-mouthed malaise is damaging to our culture: damaging to art, to academia, to journalism. And if you acknowledge the need for open expression, you will oppose it.

"There is more than one way to burn a book," wrote Ray Bradbury of interest groups taking offence, "...each ripping a page or a paragraph from this book, then that, until the day came when the books were empty and the minds shut and the libraries closed forever." You don't recognise any of this?

Yes, 'critics just don't have the talent to create' is a tired old fallacy and I regret echoing it, but there I was thinking particularly of the likes of Wu and Quinn: loathsome reptiles and degenerates whose own creative efforts are so miserably inept that to garner sales, patreon donations, and fraudulently positive reviews they resort to pretending themselves the brave minority voices raised against the misogynistic, LGBT-phobic, uni-racial establishment - in an industry that has never actually had any of those problems.

As for Anita Sarkeesian; that liar, mountebank, fascist collaborator, and 21st century Jack Thompson; that professional victim and demagogue who harnesses manufactured outrage for profit; or in the most generous possible light, that half-educated nincompoop who somehow rode a tide of hysterical activists-without-a-cause to a broadcast platform for her worthless, narcissistic rambling:
It isn't the fact of her fuck-witted critique to which the gaming community so righteously objects but the baffling inaccuracies and outright slanders therein, her self-promotion via false claims of harassment, her attacks on artistic expression and internet freedom.

And these are exactly the kind of sub-intellectual trash who will presume, against all standards of rectitude and conscience, to instruct their betters on what kind of jokes they're allowed to tell.

You never cede an inch to these fucking people. That's how you get Mary Whitehouse, or the Comics Code Authority, or McCarthy, or the FCC, the BBFC, the OFLC, the IWF.

I dunno that there is anything wrong with the train simulator DLC. I'm not personally familiar with it but I think that's comparable to the "DLC" for Flight Simulator X, which if you bought all of it would probably easily be in the tens of thousands of dollars. It's all extra content made by third parties though. That's really the way DLC is supposed to work. It doesn't necessarily have to be created by third parties, but does have to be *new* additional content.

I watched a second interview where she is more subdued, guarding her apartment from the car. She couldn't believe she was Youtube famous. That sincere quality of wonderment only an unrequited ham can give, right before the praise of personality goes to one's head.

So, set fire to your houses if you think it's that easy to start a meme of your own personality, but it will show through and you will NOT be internet famous like Michelle Dobyne -- because her performance isn't a contrivance but rather a genuine glimpse into a range of social interaction you're incapable of.

However, if after the video of your contrived assholery goes viral, you have even an iota of the charisma required to draw a mass audience, you won't likely be remembered quite in the same way as Michelle.

Warning to the false memetic prophets -- when the simulation ends, we will know all. Someone's gonna go Chief Petty Officer Tyrol on someone's ass guaranteed.

Yeah, like the SEAL said, athletes don't need to be physically prepared for life and death situations 24-hours a day. I mean, that SEAL training ramps up to "hell week" where they basically train 20-hours a day to simulate an extended combat engagement. No athlete needs that level of mental/physical endurance excluding maybe ironman race participants and even then that kind of training is likely overkill.

Weird. It's like a water/flood simulator...but with cars.

Real except for the simulation part they added in the middle but it states that in the bottom right corner.

A species that sees our reality as merely a simulation, his mother just called him to dinner and he took his helmet off.

Simulation? Let's drop the nukes and make this reality, mein fuhrer!

"Bad guys can't shoot good".
Agreed. It's simulated danger to keep the action moving.

Did they really need to build a set for that?
That's called dressing the set, and when you have the budget, spend it! TV is all about the visuals.

Your video, ANT SIMULATOR THE GAME, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Yeah!

...well... I suppose that if I'm being honest, for me that one thing made the video fun in addition to the sexualized dress and movements of the attractive women, simulating sex acts for me to ogle and lech at.

I was highly offended! (that the video seemed to be recorded with a potato rather than a camera, preventing me from enjoying my leching in higher-quality HD glory)
