Any gamers here? I play a lot of Destiny 2, and I’ve been meaning to give Deep Rock Galactic a go!

    What platform are you on? My last sim/construction type game was Roller Coaster Tycoon about 20 years ago! I don’t know what those games are like these days.

      Steam (on Linux). The games in this genre are pretty sophisticated these days, e.g. Rimworld, Factorio, etc. Cities Skylines is such a good simulation that it’s used by real world city planners.

        Jeez. So they’re kinda like the Flight Simulators of the building/planning world? That’s awesome.

          Not all of them. I mean, I guess you could use Rimworld to test out how you would build a colony of militant cannibals! 😂

          Check out the Youtube series ‘City Planner Plays Cities Skyline’ he actually plans out and manages the cities he makes with absolutely everything: Water pipelines, power utilities, different levels of road and traffic management, zoning for commercial/residential/commerce etc. He even designs and implements things like University Campuses and National Parks into his cities.
