  • To go along with this is also risk to one’s health and potentially death.

    53 per 100,000 pilots was the death rate amongst pilots in 2018 according to The University of Delaware .

    This doesn’t sound like a lot, until you consider it was the #2 most dangerous occupation in the US that year.

    Behind #1 Loggers (111 per 100k) and ahead of #22 Police Officers (14 per 100k).

    So it’s one thing to have a flight sim rig and at worst fall off your chair. A whole another thing to potentially make a mistake in an actual plane and pay the price with your life.


  • Not related, but OP, if you get the chance I recommend at least trying out Project Wingman in VR with joysticks.

    Holy shit, was it a transcendent experience.

    I beat the campaign with a controller on a monitor my first time around, but on my second playthrough I played it in VR and I found there is nothing like looking for bogeys and tracking them by peeking around your cockpit.


    More related to the prompt, but if anyone wants a recommend:

    I just beat both Pentiment and Return of the Obra Dinn and both were truly the historical detective / mystery games that I’ve waited so long for.

    Go into both completely blind and report back. I guarantee you, that you will not be disappointed.
