I am more concerned that he logged like 3 work weeks worth of time playing "power washing simulator"
People under capitalism are so alienated from their work that they escape to something as mundane as Power Washing Simulator. Having a stable job with a modicum of satisfaction and control is a power fantasy nowadays.
People spend hundreds of hours driving transport truck simulations in traffic.
Work in HVAC, I go home and play project zomboid. My fantasy is that everyone stops needing me and I can stay inside on a Tuesday and just read and eat sphaghetti straight out of the can.
I bet your room is the perfect room temperature.
That's particular simulator game actually has you saving the world from some sort of Alien UFO time traveler conspiracy plot though doesn't it? It's not quite as mundane as some other simulator games like farming or truck driving sims.
I play space truck sim. Sometimes you just wanna chill and press clunky buttons. Do some really low stakes slow shit. I'm old though.
It's such a nice game to just chill and talk to friends
