Ever wanted to run your own strip club?
I'm making a spicy business simulation game themed around managing a strip club - Strip Club Empire (18+)

Had this lively convo with one of these women on FB today when she saw the post about the game im making- where you manage a strip club.
She said: thats F*d up, that you make a game that sexualizes women.
I replied - Who are you to judge what another woman does? The women that work in strip clubs are doing so voluntarily, no one is forcing them, and it's their body, their time, their right. I'm only making a game about managing a strip club. It's not sexualzing women, they are doing that themselves, and who cares if they do anyway?

Ever wonder what NPCs are actually thinking? 😂
I've been adding thought bubbles to Strip Club Empire, giving a little insight into what's going through the minds of patrons and dancers.
Some of their thoughts are pretty ridiculous. 😂
Here's a little gameplay footage showing them in action

@JonnyThePhoenix@luckeyfaraday This is really an overlooked aspect we need to be talking about.
People (like any other animal) tend to manifest boredom through destructive means. Purpose can overcome this.
This is a really good topic of discussion.
On one hand, any we don’t use over time, ends up atrophying- muscle, cognitive, learned skills, etc. we’re not growing through struggle, both individually and collectively.
Struggle is what makes us grow stronger.
We literally got to this point in time because of our struggle.
On the other hand, the current struggle for many is too much, feels like someone just dropped 300 lbs of plates on their chest and is demanding you to bench press 10 reps. It’s not sustainable.
Now if we outsource all of that struggle to tech, we’re left floating weightless and it’s scary.
You can still choose to go through individual struggle - both physically and mentally, but it’s not required.
However..
We do this already with sports, gym, running, chess, etc. and it’s voluntary, and we like it.
We enjoy the freedom to spend our time on the things we enjoy, even when it involves struggle.
Hopefully we can find a balance in the future of tech and humanity which involves unprecedented freedom to choose how we spend that time.
Kind of like how we “workout” in today’s society. We no longer have to carry heavy loads all day, doing manual labor we would have had to do hundreds of years ago, so now we go to a gym because there’s still value in that activity.
The op is right though, a lot of people are going to struggle with finding meaning, and that might manifest in unpredictable ways.
When people get bored, they mind tends to subconsciously seek stimulation and that can express itself with uneccesary conflicts and drama, usually destructive.
