silly game maker sim with interesting mechanics and sliders you'll spend hours giving your games names like "poo flinging simulator" that get 11/10 reviews and sell 1 Billion copies. Then you'll make an actual, down to earth game called something dramatic like "Surviving the fall", an story based survival game with steering wheel support that gets 0/10 with a review saying "This was horrible"

There's nothing like sitting down in front of a computer to simulate sitting down in front of a computer.
