I've even gone as far as to complete a brand new power washing game demo three times in my quest for the latest digital DIY. Meanwhile, in the real world, the bins probably needed emptying yesterday. New Horizons ticking over on my Switch on the desk as I wait for the next passing balloon present, while I virtually plaster walls damaged by a flood in my latest house flip project. Somehow in a time where I'm stuck in my own home, I regularly find that I'm dual-wielding DIY games. "In my digital worlds, I'm flipping entire houses for profit in a matter of hours." In my digital worlds, I'm flipping entire houses for profit in a matter of hours. I'm having to make do with cultivating a mediocre garden patch, attempting to grow herbs and basic vegetables in real life. Suddenly I'm mastering a level of home improvement prowess that I might possibly never achieve in real life - and especially not in a rented home in the middle of a pandemic. That's because this obsession with digital DIY is aspirational too. I feel like I'm learning real skills here, as much as I am fulfilling dreams of home improvements. Wondering how different the wiring inside an American plug socket is to our own UK edition. The simple yearning to believe that I'd actually be able to fit a sink after doing it repeatedly in House Flipper.
The focused intensity of kitting out a room with matching items of furniture. The laborious, yet rewarding, motion of painting an entire room strip by strip. Like when playing other simulation games, there's comfort in the repetition.
