To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to appreciate immersive sims. The gameplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of game theory most of the deep immersion will go over a typical gamer’s head. There’s also Garrett’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this design, to realise that it’s not just immersive- it says something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike immersive sims truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Shodan’s existential catchphrase “look at you, hacker” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as LGS game directors’ genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Looking Glass tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

Do we really need shitty internet memes descending on us?

Well, at least he posted this subhuman tryhardism in the place it deserved; i.e., not GenGaming.

It seemed like a thing, but when he went to the trouble to link a whole bunch of stuff about immersive sims, he seemed really into it. Lame no matter how you slice it.

I was gonna move this to Gengaming, but the IQ thing, and the political strife that's been stirred up because of it, does make what should be a clear cut decision harder to make.

Well, I thought it was kind of funny and fitting.
