If powerwashing the house got me new socks that gave me +.25 an hour pay I’d be doing all kinds of side quests

TBH they kinda do. It’s just that there’s all sorts of real-world issues attached to them, while a game is at worst boring.

For a lot of people. they don’t. Chores are just painful and annoying and unrewarding and they hate them objectively.

I’m sure lots of people don’t feel a sense of accomplishment from gaming, either.

Neither did WOW ones, every time I’d complete an impossible task and get my reward they’d nerf it and start giving it away the next week

“Honey, can you go out and powerwash the side of the house this weekend?”
“Awww, c’mon… I was planning on playing Powerwash Simulator this weekend! 😩”

Now I kind of feel guilty for enjoying Crime Scene Cleaner. At least in my defense, my house is not covered in blood.

I’ve been playing Hitman: World of Assassination all weekend.
Not sure if that’s better than the alternative.

A real power washer can run out of water or power unless you tether it to outlets. Meanwhile in the simulator, you can parkour onto the roof with an infinite water tank.
