Ah.
I am not aware of any games/sims that do that.
It might be possible to heavily mod such things into Cities Skylines 1 or 2, but it would be a ton of work and basically no fun to play for everyone other than masochistic uber nerds (I am counting myself as one).
It would be comparable to the percentage of players that play Kerbal Space Program vs the percentage that play KSP with the full suite of Realism Overhaul, Realistic Solar System, and all that.
SimCity 2000 had scenarios of pre existing cities with specific goals, and though it did not have as many or as elaborate mass transit systems as later city builders, I think a few of them required you to both grow and reduce traffic, basically requiring you to build a working mass transit system.
Made in a facility staffed by boned babies.
If this was a real lemmy shitpost it would be blinding bright beans splattering all over the windshield.
In the same vein, Simon Librande, lead designer of Sim City, decided to pretend that basically all plots above low density just have absurdly huge, invisible (underground) parking lots, otherwise a car centric city very often just turns into half parking lots.
Geoff Manaugh: While you were making those measurements of different real-world cities, did you discover any surprising patterns or spatial relationships?
Librande: Yes, definitely. I think the biggest one was the parking lots. When I started measuring out our local grocery store, which I don’t think of as being that big, I was blown away by how much more space was parking lot rather than actual store. That was kind of a problem, because we were originally just going to model real cities, but we quickly realized there were way too many parking lots in the real world and that our game was going to be really boring if it was proportional in terms of parking lots.
Manaugh: You would be making SimParkingLot, rather than SimCity.
Librande: [laughs] Exactly. So what we do in the game is that we just imagine they are underground. We do have parking lots in the game, and we do try to scale them – so, if you have a little grocery store, we’ll put six or seven parking spots on the side, and, if you have a big convention center or a big pro stadium, they’ll have what seem like really big lots – but they’re nowhere near what a real grocery store or pro stadium would have. We had to do the best we could do and still make the game look attractive.
EDIT: I got some details mixed up, corrected and expanded now.
I mean, this story is obviously bullshit and has been debunked over the years.
Not to mention even on its face, the headline is just wrong.
Elon states he had an apartment, but also implies he lived in his office, coding 24/7.
So… he had an apartment and is exaggerating about how often he stayed late.
How much did that apartment cost?
???
Did he just walk to work?
Was he working but not earning a wage?
This is a total bullshit article even by its own text.
Maybe his food budget was about a dollar a day for a while. Sure, ok, that’s maybe possible.
This is like those stories that were going around a while ago with various corporations just displaying absolutely absurd budgets for how a person could afford to live on their full time minimum low income job…
By assuming rent is 40% lower than it is, that they don’t have to pay for car insurance, never have health problems, never need new clothes, barely eat and don’t have a phone or internet plan.
There are grenades and grenade launchers that are or have specific anti tank designs (though they probably won’t work too well against any tank produced after the 70s), so, probably yes.
Also, while an RPG is not technically a ‘grenade launcher’ (as it fires in a basically flat, direct trajectory, compared to grenade launchers that lobbed more like artillery shells, indirectly in high arcs), a lot of less weapons literate people and journalists see ‘Rocket Propelled Grenade’ and might think it thus counts as a ‘grenade launcher’.
only if you have a lot of money
I mean, these borders might make for an interesting alt-history scenario?
It is in the state he resides in.
‘A wild ride that I was not expecting’ could be the subtitle of my autobigraphy rofl.
When I played Smash Melee as a kid, a few of the neighbor kids would flail about so violently that they would rip their controller out of the console, elbow or armbar me in the face to the point I was bleeding and bruised, throw their controllers about the room breaking the controller and whatever it hit, and just outright kick or punch me with a free hand right as I was about to clinch a game.
Years later, I would learn that that one time I came home from school early and saw a man in a neat black suit talking with my dad, who quickly made an exit, this person was not in fact my dad’s friend from work.
He was a fucking FBI agent surveilling the house of the extremely violence normalized kids.
Turns out their dad was some kind of convicted felon in another state, moved here, and was suspected of illegally purchasing or possessing a firearm.
So yeah about half a year later violent-family dad was arrested.
PS: For added irony, my dad later fell down the Q Anon rabbit hole and showed me his whole set up and process for assembling/manufacturing ghost guns with no serial numbers.
He really does think he is Horatio from Endless Space.
I’ve heard this works better if you use a small hammock instead of a hanger.
I am being tongue in cheek, but if you have young kids or just want some children’s books for a lazy weekend or something, they’re neat!
Sheesh, its like no one has even read Bunnicula.
Kero kero.
