The Urban Misadventures of the Ambiguous Kind: A Cities: Skylines Compilation

[@Mike-Et-Cetera]

"I haven't failed, I just haven't succeeded." That's a heck of a good outlook on life, going forward I'll try to look at it like that.

[@jesseweber5318]

@@Mike-Et-Cetera how does one learn anything if they first don't learn what not to do?

[@Blueeyesthewarrior]

I live by the Extra Credits creed "Fail quickly". It's about learning from your mistakes as quickly as possible and not getting trapped by them, being flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances and resilient enough to bounce back from being wrong, because it's okay to be wrong. It's okay to fail, everybody fails at some point, it's all about learning from our failures and coming back better than ever.

9:10 I feel like returning to worship of Poseidon might have been cheaper than a huge sea wall, but I'm no urban planner.

[@camramaster]

The temples and priests are exceptionally pricy. Plus all the other gods getting jealous, leading to wacky hyjinks and an increase in divorce (gods like to bang a lot- looking at you, Zeus).

well, we're all heading towards the same destination as we get older.... maybe AA's cities have a different cultural attitude towards death and the reminder doesn't really bother them.

[@WolfyFancyLads]

Honestly, I do kind of love the complete difference in these challenges compared to the others. Zomboid? "I did this, this and this, and I was a manly man for it." Kenshi? "I have a cunning plan!" Sims? "Though it was a struggle, I managed to make my Sim the richest man alive with a mighty mansion!" But Cities: Skylines? "I made a city... It may have caused the French Revolution. But the second city did better and only maybe kind of possibly caused the Irish Potato famine, so overall a win!" It's just overwhelmingly less confident than other game challenges.

[@HauntedCorpseGaming]

I'm glad City Skylines always answers the question we all want to know in every video that's made for it...... WHERE DOES THE POOP GO?

[@evankimori]

To a farm up state to live out the rest of its life.

I live in a non-grid town now, its a maze of stupid cut off roads and nothing connects to what it should, without a gps maps app you can spend hours driving around lost/stuck. oh and its loaded with round-abouts which only work if the morning mental stunted can manage to work them, most of which can't. my previous town was a grid, regardless of traffic, you could zip thru the town without issue as long as you knew the general direction, it was great and I miss it.

[@StealthMoustache]

There is one triangle city pattern you can make, which ressembles a star with a square in the middle all outta triangles, and if you want you can even extend the design right. maximum intersection is 6 roads. 4 triangles to make the box in the center, 4 triangles to make the outerside of the star.

[@nakofrostburn]

[@strogonoffcore]

25:06 I lived in a small city that was in a highway with tollbooths on both ends, because there were big cities on both ends and huge traffic between them, so you pretty much had to pay to get to and leave the city. No wonder the city was losing its inhabitants, the young were leaving the city and only the elders remained, and died with time. It had 17k people in 2010, but then some industries got there and it started growing again, it had 23k people in 2022

"Oh wow! that sounds... like a lot. How do have time for your job?" "Thats how I get to my job!" "huh... so what kind of animals are in the zoo? also.... what the hell happened over there?" "where?" "where that giant crater is"

The 0% Tax City one his hilarious, because it's just taxes by a different name. And *toll roads* are something famously hated by anti-capitalists *and* Libertarians. And almost everyone else, really.
