A strategy/management sim where you are a Madam running a brothel. Lots of ways to take it-- set it in different places/eras to signify how far under the radar you have to be, change your regime from harsh to compassionate, build out the brothel itself, recruit talent (ethically or unethically), decide if you want to theme the establishment to attract a certain clientele-- lots of interesting things you could do with the setting!

This is also a good photo for the back of a book cover.

It’s for the best, really.

They’re both great games, but they play very differently. The scale of DSP is vast-- you’re a giant robot that can fly to different planets, and you end up setting up supply chains that span entire solar systems-- and in late game, you can even go to OTHER STAR SYSTEMS if you need something exceptionally rare in greater quantities.

Satisfactory is so first-person that it can seem daunting, and unlike DSP you have the very real chance of dying. And, for some reason, in a spacefaring society you have to reinvent the gun. >_> That said it is much more intimate, and the struggles are much more rewarding. Getting that new node producing can feel much more satisfying (no pun intended) when you remember all the fauna you had to fight through to get to it, the pathing you had to do to connect up all the power cables and belts…

So, for me, I’d say it depends on how you feel about that sense of scale! If you want to feel big and powerful, give DSP a try. If you want more of a challenge and prefer a smaller-scale experience, try Satisfactory. Oh, also, Satisfactory has multiplayer available, so if you ever want to try and get more friends involved, that’s the obvious choice!

The moment I hear someone try to call ANY job “unskilled labor”, I have to fight the urge to shove the tools into their hands and say, “Okay, YOU do it, then, since it’s so simple.”

Okay, firstly, I’m not sure Gurgaon exists. Yes, I looked it up, yes it appears to have its own wikipedia entry and all that. But that just SOUNDS like a fantasy kingdom ruled by an evil wizard. So I would NOT trust any callgirls from some evil magical realm, thankyouverymuch.

This. No programs I routinely use images for support it.

I stopped reading at the phrase “purpose and people officer”. I suffered from toxic levels of corporate bullshit when I was younger and I have a strong averse reaction to it now. Someone is getting paid six figures to have a bullshit title like that and it is ABSOLUTELY proof of what is wrong with the corporate class.
