I know it's an unpopular opinion given current circumstances, but I've always been a huge nerd about Russia. The history, the geography, the music, etc. And as an American, I've always found it fascinating how U.S.-Russian relations have fluctuated over time. We've gone from allies, to enemies, to frenemies. This doesn't mean I support Z or Putin, of course. What are you a nerd about?

How many hours of cities skylines have you played and what is your opinion on the second part?

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

Honestly, maybe two hours? I'm not much of a gamer anyways, but the little experience I had with the game focused too much on cars for my liking. I hear there are mods that fix that but I never got around to installing any.

It's definitely extremely car centric, and it's always annoyed me how it just magics away cars instead of modeling parking. However they do have the tools (through expansions/dlc) and there are community mods that allow one to live out some public transit fantasies. I've been working on a certain city concept for years that's nearly entirely car independent and I could probably make it the entire topic of one of my nerd-outs.
