The dongs of Rust get censored

Rust's dongs get censored

Rust is out on Early Access; here’s our Rust review.

First-person survival romp Rust has dongs in it. It probably says a lot about me that this has piqued my interest in the game quite a bit. There simply aren’t enough flopping members in our beloved hobby, and that rubs me the wrong way. Get it? I made a masturbation joke. 

There are, of course, times when you don’t really want to see digital penises, like when you’re showing screenshots of Rust to your gran, so Garry’s made a slight tweak to this phallic feature, pixelating the exposted genitals by default to save people from fainting fits and to appease Valve. 

The love rods can still be uncensored by fiddling around with the console (another masturbation joke?), but if you decide to reveal yourself to the masses by posting a screenshot on the Steam Hub, it will be automatically deleted. Sounds like a happy compromise for dong-lovers and dong-haters alike.

Over the next few days, Garry’s going to make further changes that make screenshots automatically censored, even if you’ve unlocked your tadger.
