      That’s why I hate video games - they appeal to the plebian fantasy.

      So a gas station attendant simulator? Pick a pack of smokes off a wall of packs, restock beer in the cooler, empty trash bags near pumps, and occasionally do full service?

      I wouldn’t want to relive that again. Chevron sucked as a job.

      The way our character shows up on their day off and loans out VHS tapes before diving face first into a mooby’s combo meal is full of the exaggerated swagger of a middle-aged rental clerk.

    Tapper on the C-64 was my first introduction to a game based on retail work. Basically an arcade paced bartending that got quickly out of hand. Fun, but also felt too real sometimes. A modern, more realistic game might be a bit too much.

      What a classic. There’s an arcade nearby with a Tapper cabinet. There’s one control, and it’s a keg pull.

    I already interact with the public enough, not to mention have read enough of the Acts of Gord, to never want to run such an operation in real life.

    I’ll bet you punching highly deserving abusive customers square in the face doesn’t get you fired as much in VR as it does in reality.

      I wish they’d make a simulator where you have to get your family to the farmland. Like, hunt for food, ford rivers, drown the oxen, lose half your kids to rattlesnake bites and dysentery…

          I think the Xennial craze of homesteading is a direct result of this game. This and Little House on the Prairie prepared us to handle crop failures, coyotes in the hen house, and having to care for someone in opioid withdrawal. Haven’t lost any oxen irl though.

    This is probably the one time I’d pay for premium skins of Steve and Robin from Stranger Things.
