An Onion News Network parody of a 'hyper-realistic' modern warfare game whose gameplay consists of paperwork, waiting for orders and repairing trucks.
HN people bring it up as a joke when a thread is about games or simulators that chase realism and end up tedious.

People say they want realism in games. They don't. That's just a thing people have learned to say. ▶ this video
I never played Arma, to be fair. I always gravitated more toward the "brain-rot" games! But you're right of course, realistic games use more realistic ballistic models (and everything else). One reason I never got too into the simulator games was that the line between "real" and "game" is always going to be very arbitrary. No simulator will replicate the experience of slogging over a marshy mountain carrying 100 lbs and a GPMG! The Onion said it best: ▶ this video
This looks great! Not doing anything in particular was also a lot of fun in GTA games. Also I am reminded of the Onion's modern warfare simulator video: ▶ this video
Reminds me of The Onion sketch : Ultra-Realistic Modern Warfare Game Features Awaiting Orders, Repairing Trucks ▶ this video
No doubt inspired by the amazing My Summer Car [1]. And presaged by the classic Onion videos "World of World of Warcraft" [2] and "Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3" [3]. [1] link [2] link [3] ▶ this video
