"Sacrificing Character Integrity" - a Rant

[contracycle]

But since something can be both emotionally and intellectually stimulating to the same degree, Sim is simply inferrior Nar

Only if it is true that they can be to the same degree - which is not a given - and only if anyone cared.  But if I, as a simmer, fundamentally don't care about the premise, then the alleged 'superiority' of Nar is so much arrogant elitism.

A little while back someone pointed out that movie trailers are all accompanied by a dramatic voice-over delineating the emotional conflict.  Thats the stuff I always write off as the hype, and ignore.
