Homelessness is so easy. Just have a rented or bank loaned home, no safety net of somekind, something bad happens, and boom you are homeless.

And no family to rely on. Let's be honest, even if it's stigmatized in our western society, moving back to your parent's is better than living on the street.

Everybody does not have living ... or caring parents.

Aunts/uncles, cousins, any kin or maybe close friends. The point is that someone has to be really alone to have no one to rely on.

RandomStranger what country or US state are you from? Countries and cultures are different, people are different. There are cultures that are more of a close community, and there are cultures and people that are individualist. That's the way it just is. If you are Romani(Gypsie) you are never homeless or alone. So there you go. But there are other extremes.

I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.

All bums go to Rapture.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

It looks the idea is not a new one (1985)

Rags to Riches may be called a "bum simulator", in that it lets you live life as a bum trying not to starve on the streets of a modern city.

Keep your rest/food and alcohol meters up.

We have "progressed" from flight simulator, farming simulator to BUM simulator???

I think we still don't have a proper dam simulator.

One could say... No one gives a dam

This reminds me that they are remaking that Papers Please game, if it can really be called a game
