    They went about this the wrong way. Get with a AAA studio or better yet an indie studio, build an Air Traffic Control game, and then recruit gamers. Sometimes you gotta Top Gun it.

    Finally! As someone who has played the only(?) available English translation of “I am an Air Traffic Controller: Airport Hero” on the 3DS, my time has COME!

    What’s that? Drug test? … Nevermind.

    EDIT: But like seriously, are there any other English translations than the Osaka-KIX version? It’s all I managed to find scraping about the internet, I’d love if there was a fan translation of some of those old GBA versions with the cute, crunchy pixel work.

    I’d rather play the GTA San Andreas flight missions non-stop than work for the govt in any capacity.

    What, so I can be underpaid to do the most stressful and undersupported job ever, with the chance that the next political controversy may force me to go weeks or months without pay, and then feel the guilt of killing several hundred people if I screw up?

      All because Reagan felt their power trip was more important than maintaining safety in a system entirely dependent on maintaining safety.

    I know there’s a lot of negative sentiment here and for good reason, but I think it’s just neat whenever someone recognizes that gaming does partially prepare you for certain roles.

      I agree games are good for life. Allow you to see situations, real and fictional, and how to apply real puzzle solving to them. Reaction speed it a good perk. Dexterity of eye/hand control.

      Puzzle solving

      Perspectives

      Reaction timing

      Situational awareness, situational understanding

      Just to name a few.

    Pass a law that any government shutdown over a week causes all of Congress to be fired, and I may consider it.

      Or congress not to be paid.

      Those fuckers still get paid in full.

      They protect themselves and fuck over everyone else.

      And we keep voting them in.

        Congresspeople are already rich. Shutdowns don’t really have any impact on them.
