Comment on Looking for sustainably designed anti-fast fashion brands in ~life.style

I still have my first Joker Jeans, it is still black, has no holes, still all rivets and I wash these at 60° and throw them into the dryer afterwards.
I not only love the durability of their products, but also the precision manufacturing. I ordered a few more last week in the same size I bought them a decade ago and they just fit.Before I discovered Joker, I bought from other "major" brands like Diesel and Levi's for many years and they quickly washed out, got holes after a few months and whenever I purchased a new Jeans I had to try a dozen of pairs in the shops to find 2 or 3 which actually fit. It was like the size they put on their products has nothing to do with the product you have in your hand. Not so with Joker. You order Size X, you get Size X, even after a decade. It's great :-)

And nothing is silly! I love that you can play it as you want with all the options we can choose. That is also a strength of Simutrans. You can tailor it to your likings and have fun your way. Everything is right if it is fun :-) -

It even goes as far that the pak designers discus how many pixels a sprite has to be to reflect the vehicles real life size :-) Although they may look simple at first, they are very detailed and have a lot of charm.
You mentioned it already, but it is important to clarify that the "pak sets" not only alter the graphics, but also how the game plays (the balancing and available industries).I played tons of Transport Simulators since they became a thing, and Simutrans for me is the best of all of them. What looks simple (graphics wise) unfolds as a very in-depth simulation of not only transport networks, but also cities. Cities grow and new industries emerge as you fulfil their demands. If you play long enough it happens often that industries that were way out of town get surrounded by the town as it grows. Just as in real life where you sometimes wonder why a huge factory is in the middle of a city, it can happen here if it is an early industry and the city just grows if you do a good job. The interface is well thought out and gives you all the information and statistics in real time you need to evolve your transport networks. The train signaling system allows you to build super complex train networks if you like (you have all kind of block signals, switching etc.), there are trains for freight, passengers, trams, trucks etc.
Under the pixelated surface it has a great simulation and the more you improve your transport network, the more you appreciate the UI with all the statistics that always help you to find bottlenecks and optimize routes.It also has a very good multiplayer. I played hundreds of hours with my partner on the same map and a lot of solo.

So much that we use it sometimes too, because there is no other system with games and controls like on the Wii, so it really never fells "outdated" to me, because there is nothing like it that came after.
I play Realm Grinder for many years now (I stop for weeks or months and just pick it up again when I feel like it). The game changes quite a bit in your playthrough with what you can do, what to unlock, which builds and boost you can use. It has cloud save too, so you can play on Mobile or PC as you want.
