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

    I lurk, but I still read.

    * 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.

    Is Bill the Cat taking dictation for you?

    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.
