They had a programmer on the ship who could make whatever simulation you want and the whole crew was perfectly fine with using their loading program for recreation
He gave that up for steaks
The point is that he knew it was a program running in his head, which detracted from the experience no matter how real it felt. The only way for the steaks to feel "real" again was to remove that knowledge of the real world.
A better question is how he got himself out of the Matrix after his secret meeting with Smith.

There is a canon answer to that. Remember that scene where Neo surprises Cypher while he was doing something on the computer and acts all suspicious and quickly turns off the monitors? He was writing an automated program to allow him to connect and disconnect without an operator.

Is there a source on that? It's believable, but that could simply have been Cypher setting up his meeting.

>Is there a source on that?
The source was an online Q&A the Wachovskies had with fans, you can read it here
Because while better, it was still not what he wanted, which was the old feel of experiencing a world that didn't suck without the knowledge it wasn't real.
Given that blunt-force trauma in the matrix makes your lungs start bleeding in real life, yes.
Makes me wonder if anyone ever jizzed and Tank had to clean it up.
It's implied that more than one crew member has tried out Mouse's red woman program. Those dudes have been creaming their single filthy outfit over and over.
Imagine the smell.

Why wouldn't they just get naked IRL?

Being a military unit, there's probably some jack-off program protocol for hygiene purposes.

Presumably they just add it to the nutrient paste for zinc fortification.
I can't remember if it was here or tvtropes but someone said that when people have unprotected sex in the matrix that a robot must be collecting the man's cum and putting it inside the woman.

Where do you think the proteins in the slop they eat comes from?
whoaaa this post-apocalyptic machine raised dude is a little fricked up and into some pretty kinky shit.
not that we have sex crazed mass orgies back at zion, we're totally offended
but even if the simulation was able to temporarily erase your memories, after 15 minutes or an hour you'd have to go back to the dirty metal shithole. and you'd probably need to work on that ship doing stuff, eating nothing but horrible protein porride for a week before you got given another hour of recreational simulation time.
compare that to being put in the matrix as a movie star and being able to frick any girl you want and go on whatever vactions you want.
Apparently the actor demanded a higher pay rate because he thought he was a main star and he walked. He has an entire YouTube channel dedicated to his schizo seething
No!

ignorance is bliss anon didn't you watch the movie?
The point is that he knew it was a program running in his head, which detracted from the experience no matter how real it felt. The only way for the steaks to feel "real" again was to remove that knowledge of the real world.
But why did he react so positively when he ate the steak, which he knew was fake?
Did you see what they had to eat in the real worl? It may be fake, but at least it wasn't that shit.
Why didn't he just hop into the construct and eat steaks there?

Genuine thanks.

they could make the craziest most realistic VR porn, i dunno that would be a pretty good trade for real steak
>where is neo? we need to go see the oracle
>he's running the roman bath house orgy simulation again
>jesus christ still? he's been in there for days!
If you coom in the Matrix, does your body coom back in the real world?

>you think that's protien slop you're eating.
Do the robots feed on your coom? We need answers anons
no, the jizz is recycled and fed to the humans in the matrix dumb ass
yeah but then everybody could see what you were doing, and that's not fun
frick off to zion and build one of those chairs in your cubicle

Believe it or not mother fricker...you're still gonna..*cough* *bleeds out*
They never even addressed this guy's death, he was just gone after the first matrix
I mean the operator, not cypher. Link
Must have been some shit with the actor then?
>Must have been some shit with the actor then?
Boy, you have no idea.
I mean tank, frick
pretty sure one of the movies implied tank died
I forgot if it was reloaded or revolutions

KEK how'd I not know about this. He was good in the movie but delusions of grandeur apparently
If you think it's funny now, do a deep dive. You'll laugh your ass off at how this guy played himself.
The guy went nuts over the whole thing, a legit mental breakdown from he never recovered.
He came on Cinemaphile a couple of years ago.
damnn
>deadnaming
transphobic pie of shit
yeah, not even a piece but the whole pie
dude is the adopted son of Tommy Chong. crazy
>He has an entire YouTube channel dedicated to his schizo seething
link?
Dunno. Try searching yt for Marcus Chong.
He made a 40 minutes schizo documentary. It's officially part of the Matrix canon.
Did you know his character name Ralph Cifaretto in the Sopranos was a take off Cypher from the Matrix?
SHE WAS A HOOAH
It was a fricking horse!
A.) SHE WAS A HORSE
B.) SHE HIT ME
HABEEB IT
Twinkie House!
>he's beginning to not believe it
>Why not? Yesterday you believed there was a flying saucer over East Rutherford!
Ye best start believing.
HABEEB IT!
If you take a shit in the matrix do you fill your pants back on the ship?
does it get recycled into that protein paste they eat?
sneed it or feed it big guy
Couldn't tank or whoever come up with a way to delete depression from their brain through a program or something? It probably could've helped Cypher.
