Tom’s Hardware: 3D Printer Simulator could take the guesswork out of printing — Virtual 3D printer mirrors physical machine’s quirks, like stringing, supports multi-color printing. “The art of 3D printing is much more than just choosing a file and sending it to the printer. You have to take the time to understand the nuances of your machine and how to optimize settings both on the device […]

The Catch - Very similar to fishing sim world, just a bit more refined. Once again, packed with plenty of tackle to choose from, so you can hit the lake & canels in style and fish away. There are plenty of boss fish, too.

🥥 The power of author Rich Pelley's prose compelled me to enthisiastically read this article about the Lawn Mowing Simulator game.
Along the way Eye learned a lot about other simulator games and the storied history of playing with cyber lawnmowers.
All the while Eye was successfully avoiding mowing my own lawn. https://www.theguardian.com/games/article/2024/jun/26/lawn-mowing-simulator-simulation-games

I just thought of something:
Communist simulator but made by a true Marxist. An idea that I like in my brain, but a dream that will never be successfully executed into a video game. You know that USSR Dystopia games are always more successful compared to the ideal Marxist themed ideological simulator.

Hardspace: Shipbreaker: Life as an indebted wage slave tearing up ships in space for millions with a story of capitalist exploitation and fighting it.
Shipwreck teardown Simulator 2: Life as an independent nobody tearing up ships in today India for scraps while being exploited by faceless capitalism and no way to fight it.
Okay, I’m curious:
Growing up, I always liked plane games - but not actually “plane simulator” games (I was never able to get a plane to take off on one of those #simulators lol). I’m not talking about games that give you complex reality-inspired controls or anything, I’m talking about games that give you a speed control and your phones gyroscope for direction and that’s it - if you get enough speed then you fly.
I played many #games like this, but I’m thinking of Flight Pilot for iOS. It had a free flight mode, you took off and landed on an airport (there were little indicators above them of the mission types available in them) and got missions of different types:
- Passengers (take off and land on a specific airport)
- Packages (take off, get in a specific area and press a release button inside it)
- Rescue (take off, get in an area, land)
Thing is: Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think there are any games like that for PC!
(…)
(…)
All plane #games I ever saw for #PC were those complex simulators with complex realistic controls. Those are really cool! But I’m personally not the biggest fan of them, they’re too complex for me and I was never able to even take off on most of them.
Now, I was talking to a friend and he thinks that 95% of people who like #plane games are nerds who love realistic #simulators. He thinks games like the one I used to play don’t exist on #PC because most people wouldn’t play them.
But I absolutely loved that game and I would be super interested in playing something similar!
I’m wanting to get into #gamedev in #Godot and I think developing something like that would be a nice project to learn before doing more complex games.
So: Is he right? Would any of you be interested in a game like that or am I really the only one who likes those games?
Please do comment elaborating on your answer! I’d love to listen to opinions on this (and also if there are already any PC games like that)!

#Lol too bad my #pc has been optimized to run just #simulators on a rig, playing #AlanWake2 would be a challenge.
But this is so much fun to watch.
