Ok, can someone explain this one to me? Is this an edutainment thing? Like, "this gamifies the process of learning how to build/repair PCs. So if you're planning to make your own rig, consider getting your feet wet with this"?

There's a ton of "simulator" game, like lawn mowing simulator and forklift simulator. I think some people just enjoy game about mundane things, maybe its about gamifiying something you already do. Or maybe its how building gaming PC has become somewhat popular these days with plenty of popular streamer doing it so it's just about being on the bandwagon. Or maybe wish fulfillment, like you get to build your dream PC in the same way that someone playing gran tourismo get to buy his/her dream car.

yes and no I think. It is a pretty streamlined game in which you put together different levels of computers by clicking and dragging parts to the right places, applying cooling gels, hooking up cables. In theory you could learn a basic grasp of building your own PC, but a lot of the parts and levels of the power of those parts is not very well explained. It's a decent sim and a nice time waster in the same sense as House Flipper will teach you about home remodeling.

This basically sounds like the PC gaming enthusiasts’ version of a hall of mirrors.

I play powerwash simulator without irony and I've been thinking about getting the houseflipper one. There's just something nice about performing simple straightforward tasks without the complicated bullshit of real life sneaking in.
I can't file a fucking report these days without being interrupted by a phonecall and having to talk a guy through the shitty part of reading specifications for fifteen minutes. This stuff lets me escape for a little bit.
