Hey, I'm supr4. I'm the creator and owner of SimHobby.com.
Ever since I was a kid, I loved two things: cars and computers. I wanted to become a racing driver, a trucker, and a programmer, more or less in that order.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), my parents didn't want me to start a karting career. I didn't even know about sim racing back then, so yeah, as you can guess, I didn't become a racing driver.
When it comes to trucking... well, let's just say it took me over a year to pass a driving test for a regular car.
So, I became a programmer!
But even though I code for a living and enjoy it, my passion for racing and transportation never disappeared. Fortunately, thanks to simulation games, I can still pursue these interests. Thanks, simulation games developers!
I want to promote the simulation genre among gamers.
Simulation games actually teach something. In my case, they helped me improve my management skills, teamwork, and vehicle operation. You may or may not believe me, but when I had my first opportunity to drive a real truck, I was able to park it in reverse with a trailer without much trouble. I learned this naturally by playing Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Most simulation games I'm familiar with don't use addictive tactics. They don't reward you for logging in, they don't pressure you with daily quests, and they don't create a false sense of accomplishment based on how much you play. If you value a balanced game-life experience, this is probably the best genre.
Simulation games are relaxing, and many of them are perfect for socializing and learning. You can chat with friends or listen to podcasts while playing.
Although I enjoy simulation games the most, I like various genres. Here are a few of my favorite games of all time:
