Want an excuse to play more video games? Well these teach you real life things. More formally educational games. Similar to www.listal.com/list/games-made-me-smarter but that list is both more subjective and about vague concepts like induction and cognition not specific knowledge or skills. Must be a real life skill you could possibly use or at least boring for realism and skill. Most sports games and drug dealing excluded. Management of things almost no one ever needs to know about is out too. Made this list to meditate on edutainment for a different project. Knew lots of these already.
