Brotato and Vampire Survivors - I don’t understand the mass appeal. Each to their own though.
 
Puddy_Tat might be interested in the bus one.
I believe there's also a farming one, and a goat simulator, where you get to be a goat and lick things, but the one that I really don't get is the train simulator. I assume you get to drive a train and pick passengers up and drop them off at stations, so you're basically pressing "Stop/Go" (not necessarily in that order) for the duration... Sounds thrilling!
I've seen there's also a car wash simulator, where you pretend to wash people's cars. I don't even wash my own car! Why would I invest my time into washing pixels from a pixelated car? :confused::facepalm:

The car wash simulator is strangely satisfying. Like bursting bubble wrap or popping zits. Or cleaning the toilet bowl by peeing on it. I could go on.
 
Only half?? The revolution should be global!!!....(scream...icepick)
sorry to be serious for a second but the meaning for the record is
"The title from our book (Half Earth Socialism) comes from EO Wilson's 'Half-Earth' concept, which he developed during the course of his ecological studies on land-area and biodiversity. This research made clear that more ecosystems must be protected if the worst of the Sixth Extinction is to be avoided.

We have appended 'socialism' to Wilson's concept because such large-scale environmental goals can only be achieved in a socialist society because it would be impossible to leave half the Earth uncommodified under capitalism.

Moreover, by making the Half-Earth socialist it makes clear the need for a new kind of conservation that will be democratic and support Indigenous sovereignty (biodiversity is higher on native lands than on nature preserves, after all).

and
"In 2016, E.O. Wilson wrote a book called Half-Earth: Our Planet’s Fight for Life. In that book was a promise: if we protect half the Earth’s land and sea and manage sufficient habitat to safeguard the bulk of biodiversity, living Earth can continue to breathe."

Thank you! I'll give that a read. I was just making half arsed jokes about Trotsky. 🤣

Thomas Piketty's book Capital in the Twenty-First Century is really good if you haven't read it. It's 10 years old but still worth a read. I saw a lecture on it at SFU by Naomi Klein's brother Seth Klein (he was on the faculty and writes extensively on climate issues). He's a bit of a rockstar here in Vancouver so the lecture theatre was full!
