I enjoy job simulator type games and really like the aspect of decorating and taking something and improving it. I’m a sucker for visual progress and I’m comfortable with physical labor in real life, so why can I only do it in games and structured activities?
Understandable, consequences of my actions are pretty demotivating. It does seem easier to blow money on a lamp in a game then decide it doesn’t fit what I was going for anyways than it is to buy anything that doesn’t directly aid my survival. Fear and financial instabilities are probably some big motivators to inactivity, at least for me.
