Obvious answer: problem solving games like infinifactory, Shenzhen I/O, Opus Magnum or spacechem. I mean, it’s literally problem solving. That’s real useful everywhere you encounter problems that need solving which is conveniently everywhere.

In short: yes. I think so. And I am not even in the US but I know German history rather well because it got taught a lot here.

Yet here I am, enjoying a game for hour 1000 and more exactly because it didn’t choose to change up how it works for the 35689 th time in what feels like two days. I don’t have all day every day anymore to dedicate to games and that’s okay what isn’t okay is that these guys expect me to be willing to learn what is effectively a completely different game constantly. I don’t want to re learn that thing every time I play, I want to enjoy it.

Maybe I am the problem, maybe not. All I know is that I can’t be bothered to only put time into one game and one game only when there are more things in life I want to do.
