Listen to a race as opposed to watch it, if Matt Hill is calling I reckon I understand more about what's happening than watching.

I try to open doors before i unlock them

I do this. Even if I know it’s locked. I think it’s a self conscious thing because I’m forever forgetting to lock doors.

There were multiple Sim Cities though
Sim City was pretty simple
Sim City 2000 was more complex with all the water pipes underground
Sim City 3000 was my favourite as the graphics got a touch up and they simplified the water and power connections.

Sim Farm was real old (3.5" floppy old) but I loved as well.

Civilisation 2 and 3 were pretty popular, but weren't city building per se.
I'm sure there were other cuit builders out there, but I can't think of them.

True story about Sim Tower. They bought an actual, as in real and industry, elevator simulator amd tried to wrap a game around it. I liked the game. But not programming those elevators. My poor Sims took all night to get home from work!

ETA: Simcity 3000 looked like this:

Sim City had a remake in about 2013. It wasn't good, they went for co-op online but ended up with multiple connected Sim Villages.
Cities:Skylines is the big one in the market now. And that must be 4-5 years old.

Current city, population about 79k

feel there's an alternate universe somwhere where there are clones of ourselves doing exactly what we and you are doing at that precise moment.

Like some kind of bizarro world ? Wow ! That's really out there and I like it.

You should. I am always polite to my alexa/google devices in the hope the remember my kindness when they rise up.

Hmmm then I guess I can add “telling Siri to get ****ed” to this ever growing list.

If they build a rocket ship and try to fly here, do they crash in to each other half way?

No. Because we both fly on the left.

Whenever someone asks me how old I am I always say the age I'm going to be next birthday. Not how old I actually am.

I've got into a weird habit of naming my ciggy lighters, green ones get called Bob or Sarah, red ones are Karl or Chairman Mao, black ones are usually named after West Indies cricketers, you get the drift. Yellow ones are always called Scott.

That's not racist, our rhyming slang back in the day for a "cigger" certainly was though.

I laughed at this because of red for “Karl” - made me thinking this.

I know you were joking, and this slang was a long time ago by the way (20+ years), I think racism wasn't bad then.

 

[phantom13]

I think racism wasn't bad then.

Ahhhh, i think racism was worse then but it wasnt recognized or acknowledged as such.

Was another joke, David Brent says something similar when he talked about someone's dog whose name was the word rhyming with "trigger".

Nope.

Red's my favourite colour.

I was interested in the song 'I'm a Scatman' a year before I joined BF and decided to combine the 2.

I was here is something you'd say whenever and wherever and I decided to combine the 2.

I like using this line to others about their age.
