Description: The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: skl.sh/writingongames03211 Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, played as intended, is absolutely fantastic—its 1:1 recreation of earth is a technical masterwork.

Here's the story of how I accidentally managed to turn Flight Simulator into a walking sim—how a seemingly simple shift in perspective led me on one of the wildest journeys I've had with a game in some time, uncovering things about Flight Simulator that I never thought I'd find. It also got me thinking about intended play, game preservation, speedrunning and, well... my own place in the universe. --- Support the show on Patreon - patreon.com/writingongames Twitch Channel - twitch.tv/writingongames Podcast - anchor.fm/writingongamescast Second Channel - youtube.com/channel/UC1xxfS_HILi09yaELQdmV1A --- The House on Blue Lick Road (Andy Baio, Waxy) - waxy.org/2020/10/the-house-on-blue-lick-road Police discover thousands of stolen items in former church (Ann Bowdan, WLKY) - wlky.com/article/police-discover-thousands-of-stolen-items-in-former-church/3752641 DOOM speedrun footage from Games Done Quick - youtube.com/watch?v=T4j9RSNbssU youtube.com/watch?v=ZDU7Lu6bbkE Developer interview footage from Noclip - youtube.com/watch?v=0w7q1ZFfsxs --- Text intro by Isaac Holland - twitter.com/drazgames This video was sponsored by Skillshare
