Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? (piefed.social)

I'm talking more along the lines of, having simulator games where you work in a supermarket and you get to cause as much mayhem as possible. Not in terms of just simply killing, but more like, being a very disgruntled worker in a very annoyingly noisy environment with shitty customers. That game doesn't exist to me and I wish it would.

Instead, we get more simulator games where you're at the service of the people. That's going backwards, if you ask me.

Also, I don't remember asking for armchair psychologists to come here and start dropping unasked thoughts about how to best relieve stress. Check those at the door.

The idea is to play a simulator where you can cause chaos from that.

Why'd you even bother to snip that line, to make yourself sound smart?

I wasnt trying to smartass, the setting you described sounds genuinely stressful to me. Maybe Im misinterpreting your post but it just sounds like you are looking for a specific kind of revenge fantasy game and I think its too niche for most people to find interest in it. The only games that come to mind are Untitled Goose Game and Bully. Havent played either so not sure if its what youre looking for.

But that's the point, the only reason you would need to 'cause chaos' is because you're willfully subjecting yourself to a shitty environment. That's like getting yourself thrown in jail just because it would be super satisfying to break out. Just leave the bullshit in the outside world, don't take it home with you and concoct weird revenge fantasies about it.
