I wanted to ease my way back into things with something casual and I thought this might be a nice conversation for us. I am into all kinds of simulation games. I have a ton of them on pc.. in fact, the HUGE variety of simulation games available for the platform was one of my biggest motivators for switching from console. (ikr.. its crazy that someone didnt make the switch JUST for farming sim lol)
But I dont always feel like playing every game.. Even as much as I love FS, I dont always want to play it.. in fact, lots of times I just dont have the itch.. For FS, if I watch a good youtuber like daggerwin doing his roleplay series, it will almost always get the itch to play started.
After I made the switch to pc, I bought Gold Rush The Game.. I knew it was based on a show but I had never even considered watching the show. I havent played in forever tho.. So while I spent what seemed like FOREVER in that darn hospital, I noticed it was on the tv.. so I laid there and binged watched about 10 episodes of it and another similar show about opal.. and now I have this strong itch to play Gold Rush lol..
I cant be the only one whose gaming is kinda dictated like this.. anyone else find odd motivation to play their favorite games?

There are a lot of things that trigger me to play FS. Indeed daggerwins survival roleplay vids are one, or some real life farming video's (if someone is interested in those, search "12 months on a UK farm" on youtube. not a lot of videos but the ones they do have are documentary quality). Other things that can get me the itch to play FS are simple things like a hike or a drive through the countryside and watching some cows or sheep grazing, or seeing some farmers plow a field.
I don't play a lot of other games, factorio is the one i play most after FS. but i really need to be in the mood for that game and be able to concentrate a lot since it's not easy. Other than that there are just a couple of games i used to play as a kid that i only play when i am in a nostalgic mood, but that happens maybe a couple of times a year...

FS, forza and recently GTA are the only 3 games I play.
I find if I see some nice farmland IRL or on TV it gives me the urge to start up FS and play a map that resembles what I have seen. For example Reno 911 was on TV a lot when Washoe Nevada came out so I always played that but since the show is now off air I rarely get the urge to play Washoe
If I see some nice cars or someone doing burnouts I want to jump on forza.
Usually if I am annoyed, angry or bored with other 2 I go on a crime spree in GTA.

Well, I play fs and ets2 because it's extremely relaxing, and helps me unwind.
I play dcs for fun, and it can be quite difficult to master. But when you do, the rewards are good š
Kerbal space program is challenging and hilarious (have a look at yt, and you'll find both serious and just because it might work hilarious stuff)
Arma for some intense cooperation.

Its so neat that so many different things make us want to play.. it really doesnt take much with me.. the smell of diesel exhaust for example will make me want to play just about anything with heavy equipment but the sound of a semi idling makes me wanna play ATS lol.. if I see anything involving boats then I want to play stuff like Fishing Barents Sea or similar.. anything space related and next thing you know I am playing something like space engineers..
I almost bought Kerbal on sale a while back.. I wish I had as it was like 70% off and its an expensive lil game

I love FS and its the only sim game that I play regularly. I play most of my games on Xbox, I love a single player RPG with a good in depth story line, i.e. Witcher series, dragon age etc.
FS is my only PC game that i play, tried ETS2 but didn't really get into it, FS is perfect to just unwind after work with or chill on the weekend and just play
