If you want to check out something related, wierd, and interesting check out German radio controlled truck conventions ... lots of people go together and drive their RC stuff in a sensible realistic manner. I find it adorable.
My three year old had an addiction to watching videos of those conventions for about six months.
That sort of thing, but with little trucks, diggers, forklifts, and tractors all by radio control ... I guess I never understood the appeal of train sets whereas driving a little truck around looks like fun
RC aircraft is pretty fun too if you have the space for it. Adding a video system to both RC land and aircraft increases the immersion a lot.
With models, for me it's not about immersion but rather some fascination with having little versions of real things ... I don't know why, and I especially don't understand why making models of anything is 99.9% a men's hobby :-/
Autobahn police simulator does sound like fun actually.
It is, but probably not in the way you think. Because this game is unbelievably trashy and cringe. If you like that, you'll have fun!
"das ist ja gestern nicht so gut gelaufen..."
COBRA 11: THE GAME
Ugh, these games just seem like so much work, I want to relax.
Sits at computer, pulls out calculator and notepad before opening Satisfactory
That happened to me with no man’s sky lol
I've put a ridiculous number of hours into Ship Graveyard Simulator 2. Why am I, a white collar guy from a developed country, spending hours pretending to be a Sri Lankan with one of the worst jobs in the world? It's bizarre when you think about it.
Who am I to judge? I've played several nuclear power plant sims... But come on? Gleisbau? And a sim where you're paint stripes on roads? Go home Germany, you're drunk.
Uhhhh... sauce on the power plant sims? Those sound interesting
I think I've played 3 different ones.
One I bought on steam in alpha, which was a generous way of describing "we've managed to get it to compile, now pls give money",
another was something online that I can't find anymore
If I remember correctly those games were all pumped out by one studio in a short time. They're heaping piles of trash, sometimes literally unplayable and probably only had players because they gave them away with gaming magazines.
Yesterday I spent 1,5 hours to sort my 550 mods for a new Rimworld playthrough. Game didn't launch, so I decided to try again another day and ended up playing Guild Wars 2.
You have the expertise to cause the maximum amount of chaos, then you reload and nobody is the wiser.
It's like the simulation games in minority report
Have you tried goat simulator?
The Monitor from Philips is spot on.
I’ve found the easiest way for me to knock hours off the clock without noticing is to smoke up and play a little PowerWash Simulator.

Please high-five your three year old for me

and lastly there's the one I've actually spent some time with which was the low defunct nuclearpowersimulatorDOTcom. Luckily it's still playable on the waybackmachine https://web.archive.org/web/20200221074957/http://www.nuclearpowersimulator.com/
1/3 I'll take it lol
Thanks!
