I play games, sing, play instruments and sometimes do science things! twitch affiliate, software dev irl 👩🏼💻simulation is my genre, strategy is not sim😤
I bought a management sim on Sunday and I'm already at 60 hours. The game is all I think about. Unfortunately it's widely seen as a buggy & relatively disappointing sequel from a major publisher so I can never tell you what it is, just that it works on Mac so I can play from bed
@kebabcrusher69 To me, the hallmark of simulation is the developer striving for realism. War doesn’t work in a turn-based way, so a TBS game like Civ just doesn’t fit the bill, but RTS might. The game should teach you something real. The Sims teaches life management skills so it kinda counts lol
i could rant and rave all day about how turn-based strategy can not be considered simulation because turn-based strategy does not mimic real-world scenarios. please will somebody inform the steam store of this revelation
Nothing messes up your sleep schedule quite like getting back into The Sims. My brain thinks I’m actually doing life things when I’m really just staring zombie-eyed into my laptop at 4am on a work night
it's just so not enjoyable to go check the steam simulation new & trending list and see multiple games that overtly don't belong there that you have to manually disregard, every time
