I'm re-watching the 2024 Finals, and after seeing the first 2 games in Boston again, I had to check the stats and I was right. You can't have only one player hitting multiple 3s in two Finals games combined, and expect to win. But don't forget.. Defense wins championships.

Best Simulation Games for 2024

TL;DR

  • Popular simulation games include Cities: Skylines, Stardew Valley, and Kairosoft titles like Dream Town Island.
  • Look for games that offer immersive experiences without long wait times.

City-Building and Tycoon Sims

For fans of city-building and tycoon simulation games, Cities: Skylines remains a top choice. It offers extensive customization and management options without the frustration of extended build timers [5]. Another recommendation is Pocket City 2, which provides a modern take on town building with a more relaxed pace [5:1].

Kairosoft Games

Kairosoft games are frequently recommended for their engaging gameplay and lack of real-time constraints. Titles like Dream Town Island and Biz Builder Deluxe are praised for their balance of strategy and relaxation, making them ideal for unwinding after work [5:2].

Relaxing and Immersive Experiences

Stardew Valley is another highly recommended game for those seeking a relaxing experience. Its combination of farming, exploration, and community interaction offers an escape from daily stressors [5:3]. For players interested in card-based roguelikes, Legends of Runeterra: Path of Champions provides a unique blend of strategy and storytelling [5:4].

Additional Recommendations

Other games mentioned include Dungeon Village, a charming simulation game by Kairosoft, and Balatro, which offers a different kind of strategic challenge [5:5][5:6]. These games cater to various tastes within the simulation genre, ensuring there's something for everyone looking to unwind.

And these were mostly wide open 3s, mind you. The Celtics knew PJ was terrible at non corner 3s so they left him as open as humanly possible above the break and he proved them right. It was beyond painful to watch bc I knew PJ would brick it every time.

What are the best games to watch out of the 6pm and 9pm games today?

Posted by VermicelliValuable84 · in r/NFLNoobs · 28 days ago

I realise I’m in the UK so the times of the games are different for everyone, but there’s a load of games on today and I’m not sure which ones would be the best to watch? I typically follow the Giants but they’re not playing until 1:20am🥲

TSells31 · 28 days ago

Redzone is just football. If you love football, you’ll love Redzone. It’s the best way to watch on Sundays if you’re trying to follow the whole league/your team isn’t playing. I’m not aware of the new show, from googling though it looks like it’s free in the UK? Maybe that show will be more geared towards explaining the game, etc as it happens. Not sure. Redzone assumes you know ball though and is very unflinchingly just football.

Impressive-Fun5968 · 28 days ago

Eagles and Rams will be a great game. Eagles are the de facto leaders of the NFC and the Rams are a solid team every year, if you want to watch good football I’d recommend that.

Bengals and Vikings is maybe interesting if you’re a big NFL fan and want to watch a weird game with two backup quarterbacks dueling it out.

I think 49ers and Cardinals will be a solid game at the later time slot. 49ers have a backup in but it’s a divisional game in the NFC West which I personally think is always kind of exciting. Cowboys and Bears will be a shitfest but maybe entertaining.

Also, even though the Niners are on their backup QB, basically all of the Cardinals corners are injured, so they should it should be easier to pass the ball.

Eagles Rams is the obvious choice in the early a slot, so I’ll have that on the tablet, but as a Pats fan, the main screen will have our game v Steelers on it.

In the late window, Broncos Chargers is probably the choice over Cowboys Bears for me. 2 better teams and probably a more competitive game.

But can always flick back and forth and see what game you’re getting into

In my opinion zombies should be a menace. If they're not, then I'm not interested. I think that was a problem with DayZ for example, at least some years ago. Same with Zombieland, but I admit I didn't see that one, for that reason. I could definitely be wrong.

What a stupid list.

Jay Kelley is DOA and everyone has known that for a month. Nuremberg and Wake up Dead Man have better chances.

Anemone has not screened publicly. Putting it in anything but “Time will tell” is stupid especially if you are putting Wicked in “Time will tell”. We’ve already seen half of those performances and they were nominated. Does that “journalist” think Erivo and Grande just sleepwalked through the rest of the production. I would also say Best Actress and Best Supporting actress are very weak this year as of right now. The “time will tell” doesn’t even have much to make them competitive aside from Erivo and Grande.

Nothing but stupid trade pr bought for by some of the studios to try and spin reality.

Gold derby can be slow on the pickup. But it is as good as we are gonna get without daily monitoring of screenings and ratings on IMDb and Letterbox. Those don’t take into account whether the studios are strong in campaigning for Oscars and how many films and in what category each stdio is juggling.

What's a long-term satisfying simulation game?

Posted by Takuan4democracy · in r/gamingsuggestions · 3 months ago

I already have Powerwash Simulator and so far it's the king of satisfying simulation games. What else is out there that I can sink tens of hours into? I'm looking at Parcel Simulation but read that the endgame automation happens faster that most would like. Is Lawnmower simulator worth it? I tried House Flipper and didn't like it because I'm not into decorating. I've looked at Viscera Cleanup Detail and Crime Scene Cleaner. Viscera seems to have frustrating physics at times and Crime Scene Cleaner seems to be a short experience.

Likes: cleaning, organizing, farming Dislikes: decorating, driving, cute-looking games

Any suggestions?

My wife got sucked into Powerwash Simulator but previous things that scratched that itch for her as a casual, relaxation gamer were:

Planet Coaster, and Diablo 3.

Not necessarily similar genre to PWS, but Planet Coaster has loads of nice, chill, atmospheric park landscaping and ride design you can do at your own pace and challenge, and Diablo 3 is in a lovely spot of hugely customisable difficulty and easy drop-in ploughing through hordes of monsters for satisfying rewards.

(Diablo 4 may be newer but is a bit sweatier and less stable than 3 that's in a nice, post-sequel groove).

Help me find Must-Play Simulator Games – Realistic, Immersive, and Actually Worth Your Time (Think Farming Simulator, Subnautica, or ATS)

Posted by AthleteAromatic1870 · in r/gamingsuggestions · 3 months ago

I love playing simulator games — the kind that drop you into a world and let you build, manage, explore, or just exist with purpose. Whether it's running a farm, driving across the country, or surviving underwater, the feeling of getting lost in a well-made sim is unbeatable.

The problem? Most of what I find these days either looks like some cheap mobile crap or plays like a rushed asset flip. It's frustrating to sift through dozens of half-baked titles just to find a game that doesn't feel like cheap junk.

I’m talking about the good stuff — games that are polished, immersive, and have actual depth. Titles like Farming Simulator (with its crazy realism and mod support), Subnautica (tense, mysterious, and surprisingly emotional), or American Truck Simulator (chill but deeply satisfying when you're hauling cargo through a thunderstorm at night).

I know there are more gems out there — sims that don’t just simulate but immerse. So I figured I’d start putting together a list of must-play simulator games that don’t suck. Games that respect your time, look good, and actually feel finished.

Key Considerations for Simulation Games:

  1. Gameplay Depth: Look for games that offer complex mechanics and systems that allow for deep engagement, such as resource management, strategy, or life simulation.

  2. Graphics and Sound Design: High-quality visuals and immersive sound can enhance the overall experience, making the game more enjoyable.

  3. Community and Mod Support: Games with active communities and modding support can provide extended gameplay and customization options.

  4. Variety of Scenarios: A good simulation game should offer a variety of scenarios or challenges to keep gameplay fresh and engaging.

  5. Accessibility: Consider how user-friendly the game is, especially if you're new to simulation games. Tutorials and intuitive interfaces can make a big difference.

Top Simulation Games to Watch in 2024:

  1. Cities: Skylines II - Building and managing a city with enhanced graphics and deeper mechanics.

  2. Planet Coaster 2 - A sequel to the beloved theme park simulation game, promising more features and improved design tools.

  5. Two Point Campus - A fun take on managing a university, with quirky humor and engaging gameplay.
