When I asked Kovařík about this, he brought up Euro Truck Simulator, a wilfully mundane game about hauling cargo. The developers, who are friends of his, once told him that many of their most enthusiastic players are ... truckers. Truckers who spend their time off from their trucking jobs pretending to do more trucking ... a lot of people actually enjoy the work they do. They just don’t always enjoy their jobs that much, because of all the things that get in the way of the work.
- satvikpendem 2y agoGood for them, fortunately I'm not a trucker.
- lupusreal 2y agoFortunate for the truckers..
- hluska 2y agoLife is way too short to be boring.
- bowsamic 2y agoIt’s boring to play CoD instead of Factorio?
- hluska 2y agoNo, it’s boring to use cheap personal attacks (like I responded to) instead of actually engaging. If I wanted to read that, I could find it in YouTube comments.
- bowsamic 2y ago"Good for them, fortunately I'm not a trucker." How is that a personal attack?
- taneq 2y agoI read that as "to play CAD" and was like "nah, Fusion's fun too". :D

- Animats 2y agoThere's a whole genre of such games. - Modern Farming. Has really good working models of expensive farming equipment. There are videos of real farmers playing it. - Lawnmower Simulator. Yes, really. Mow enough lawns, get a better mower. - Power Wash Simulator. Not kidding.[1] The first game in this category was probably the famous Desert Bus. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5G-2qTupCk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5G-2qTupCk
- DonHopkins 2y agoIf you like Power Wash Simulator, you'll LOVE the relaxing meditative idle game Paint Drying Simulator, and the exquisite organic fractal patina of its sequel, Paint Peeling Simulator. ;)
- 0points 2y agoThen there's the PC Building Simulator
- jhbadger 2y agoA surprisingly number of airline pilots are flight simulator aficionados.
- johnisgood 2y agoI was going to say this, VATSIM is full of real pilots.
