Blahahahaha. Because it's not like any of you ever read these intros
anyway.


* Electrician Simulator https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/electrician-simulator-164e9f
Another workplace simulator, along the lines of "Supermarket
Simulator" or "PC Building Simulator". This one has you take
on the role of an electrician. I tried this one a few months
ago. The electrical bits aren't too bad, if extremely
simplistic and repetitive. Do I really have to manually remove
each of the four screws from a power socket each and every
time?!? But I found the 'business aspects' -buying and
furnishing your office-- extremely tedious. I was actually
hoping this game might be more fun (who doesn't like some
electrical tinkering?) but even at its best it's paint-by-
numbers simplicity with little actual thinking required. It
felt very much like an asset-flip follow-the-leader game,
and even amongst the sordid genre of workplace sims, it
wasn't very impressive.


Blah. Thbbt. Meh. Ehhhn. 7 days.

this.

Been a bit busy lately, but I get around to reading everything eventually.

Somebody caught the reference! Yay! ;-)

(I used to be a big Bill the Cat fan in my younger days, although for
the life of me I can't remember why nowadays. Thbbt was a too-regular
part of my vocabulary back then.)

Ha! I haven't thought of Bill the Cat in so long. I'd take him and Opus
for president right now.
