Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

oh that's easy. it's a video game where you can get a full education in any subject you're interested in in about eight hours, that has a login reward in a useless in game currency that can be cashed out by any player for a comfy salary, that gives you magical powers in real life if you're deemed worthy, and cures every disease any player has.

Ok, please read this.

Don't just pass it by.

It's a really good idea I had from years ago.

Here goes.

My dream game is like, This thing where. Ok,
Picture grand theft auto.
Now, answer honestly: is the shooting perfect? No
Is the driving perfect? No.
Are the flight mechanics amazing? No.
Etc etc.

It gets away with this, cause it's grand theft auto. And it does a lot of things and it does them well enough we give it a pass.

My idea is like.
What if "grand theft auto" were sort of like the base game.
And then you could buy "modules" like, maybe a racing module, that has racing physics and extras like more cars and maybe tools and a garage?
Or maybe a guns module, to..

Hold on, I think I just described mods to pc games.

poo poo.

This is actually how game engine/platforms Unreal Engine and Unity works. The difference is that the people who buy the modules are developers, not players. This and many other reasons, are why Unreal Engine 5 is actually the best game ever made. You don't need to be any kind of developer to make amazing things with it, you can just use it like it's a much, much, much more powerful Minecraft if you want. Everyone should have at least a little go at making something in UE.
