    My 16 year old gamer self would have never envisioned a lineup of games in 2021 dominated by either 8-bit indie titles or blue collar job simulations.dance
    Always number 2.

    When I saw that screenshot for Whisky Mafia, I thought I was looking at a screenshot for Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, lol.

    And these simulator games are getting ridiculous.

    Probably be interested in Cardaclysm though.
    Do you mean the music video for Smooth Criminal?

    Johnny, if you think lawn mowing is unique, there is a power washing simulator on Steam. facepalm
    I believe it. My favorite up to this point was PC Building Simulator. Just waiting for 'Waiting for the grass to grow' and 'watching paint dry' simulators. But seriously though, I do like quirky games but not really a fan of simulation games.
    Thief simulator was funny, hiding in closets, and freaking out people who saw me.

    Sure there will be a painting and decorating diy simulator at some point

    Kind of. The first stage of the video game adaptation (it was an arcade game, but more famous as a Sega Genesis title) was from the Smooth Criminal music video.

    There is a Rock Simulator, which is pretty darn close to waiting for gross to grow/watching paint dry. You literally just walk around staring at rocks.

    Lawn Mowing Simulator? Really? You can't just go outside and mow your lawn for real to get the full effect? Too many really weird sim games anymore it seems. Somebody above mentioned the Power Washing one and I've seen that also, along with something about running a Gas Station? Do people not have a life anymore to experience these kind of things first hand and they need to pay for a video game to learn how? LoL
    Best game by far is Soda Drinker Pro

    Sadly its long gone and delisted here is theist if you're interested Soda Drinker Pro Achievements
    $5 on Microsoft store using the link you posted
