Erotic photography and cinematography tends to lack basic compositional skill.

(and a case study that if you're a psychologist you can make a porn game and claim ART! on it)

What you mean to imply is that porn cannot be art?

No, but you can get away with making porn if you claim it's art and have enough authority to make people inclined to go with it. Regardless of the intent.

I really wish there were some more industrial sims, like a commercial version of that nuclear reactor operations sim. Balancing process management safety with output, etc.

Like The Incredible Machine, or Factorio?  how about stuff like this: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/538/free+enterprise.html

Yeah, Free Enterpri$e and Capitalism Plus are excellent games. I'd love for more stuff like that to be out with a modern touch and better UIs.

I've been meaning to pick up Offworld Trading Company.  Looks like it might be the kind of thing you'd be into. 

Stardock's 2001 "The Corporate Machine" was fairly polished... I mean thats 15 years old, but they always did good UI. Even WindowsBlinds or whatever it was called

There was also something from the Zachtronics guy (Zach, presumably) that was an assembly-line manager thing.  Infinifactory?

Since you mentioned the reactor ops sim, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you'd also like Aircraft Traffic Control Sims.  Its not a huge market segment, but there are a few games in that genre.

What about Industry Giant? From what I heard it's a good one.

I've played it, bretty good if you're into stuff like that. Sadly, I don't think it has any real mod support so it suffers.

Imagine a supercomputer capable of rendering and updating a whole DF continent at once with zero lag. My god.

Maybe your goal isn't to have sex, its to be good at sex?  So like every instead of combat every encounter is just your character having sex.  I guess if that is the case your character would have to have a lot of sex for the system to work but that doesn't seem more ridiculous than your party winning hundreds of fights over the course of the game.

Yes.

You know, I was going to make a joke about fucking contests, but then realised that actually that exact game exists. Can't remember the name but it's a menu-driven deal where you move around different locations and can then transition into "combat" encounters, split up into days so you can buy equipment and stuff in between.
The premise is really stupid, some sort of literal fucking competition where the aim is to take the underwear of whoever orgasms first. Then you trade them in for money.
You'd probably be able to find the thing from that, I probably could too but I'm not much inclined to.

But hey, better weird than mundane I suppose.

That would be...All the computers.  Ever.

You realise, of course, that Skynet's only problems are that A: it believes that it is playing D.F. and B: it classifies all of humanity as elfish nobility... Honestly, if someone had just told it that it was doing a 'look after your nobles' challenge run then the terminator movies would have gone very differently...
