I’ve been playing SimCity 2000 of late.
In accordance with my neurosis, I check the details on fire stations, police stations, museums, all that sort of thing, usually to rename them. The library had an extra button, besides “okay” and “rename,” one marked “ruminate.”
I clicked the button, and it resulted in this.
I very much relate to the way Gaiman thinks about cities, in this, but I imagine he wouldn’t be a famous author if his work were not relate-able on some level.
Also, this probably isn’t new to anyone who’s played an amount of SimCity 2000. Being that I played it mostly before the age of reason, it was quite new to me. Passing it along is a free action, anyway.
