Sim City (Maxis, 1989) was developed by Will Wright and has basically set the standard for "build up and grow something" games. The objective is simple: Create a city, develop residential and industrial areas, build infrastructure, and collect taxes for further city development. I remember playing this on my...

Sim City 2000 (Maxis, 1993) still stands as the best "build a city" game I have ever played. It looks wonderful, it plays beautifully, it's neither too hard nor too easy, it is quite complex (considering its age) and it has basically an endless replay value. It was hard to stop playing, because you could always build just one more industrial complex, just one more power plant, just one more police station to fight crime... oh and look, now you have some extra funds to build a park! Pretty. Some games are truly timeless, and I feel Sim City 2000 embodies such a game. The designer was Will Wright, who went on to also make "The Sims" and the lesser known "Spore", another 2 games that were quite unique. Among the best selling games between 1993 and 1999, Sim City 2000 ranks at #9, which is remarkable because the 90s featured incredible games! I know that it didn't have the same "wow" factor that the original Sim City had, but in terms of a sequel this was such a massive step forward on so many levels. If Sim City was the seedling, then Sim City 2000 was a fully grown tree!

The godfather of all "build stuff" games: Sim City, published in 1989. Did you know Sim City was born from a map editor? After developing Raid on Bungeling Bay (1984), apparently Will Wright liked building maps for the game more than playing it, which ultimately led him to pivot and create a city-building simulation. It was also turned down by many publishers (until Maxis finally picked it up) because it had no clear win/lose condition - an oddity for 80s gaming. Just imagine if Maxis hadn’t taken the risk and the game had never been published...

While developing Raid on Bungeling Bay (1984), Will Wright built a map/level editor for the islands and factories. He discovered he had much more fun creating and tinkering with the maps than actually playing the helicopter shooter. That experience directly inspired him to make Sim City (1989). The map editor in Raid on Bungeling Bay became the foundation for the city-building simulation that evolved into Sim City. Here's a quote from an old interview: "To create this game I had to draw all these islands that the helicopter would go bomb... Instead, I wrote a separate program, a little utility, that would let me go around and build these islands real quick. I also wrote some code that could automatically put roads on the islands... Eventually I finished the shoot-’em-up game part, but for some reason I kept going back to the darn thing and making the building utilities more and more fancy." Thank you, Bungeling Bay map editor! You were the origin of gaming history!

I’m running for Mayor to help build the City my son will grow up in. A safe and affordable city for working families, that gives the next generation the tools they need to succeed. I’m running for my family and yours, because Minneapolis is worth fighting for.

The Mayor continues to prioritize special interest groups over the blue-collar, hardworking families of this City. This isn’t a social studies project on civics, although our Mayor leads us to believe it is. This budget and the major impacts it has and will continue to have for years are real-life issues that affect not just the communities in my ward but the entire City. I commend my colleagues, those who aren’t beholden to the Mayor and his special interest groups, who took the time to put aside differences for the good of the City and voted NO on this budget. Our coalition of common-sense leaders wasn’t about "what’s in it for my community," but rather, "what’s in the best interest of the taxpayers of the City of Chicago?" The 2025 Budget vote will surely have lasting consequences. I want residents of the 15th Ward and the City of Chicago to know that I fought and will continue to fight for what is in your best interest, the taxpayer!

SimCity for the Super Famicom released 35 years ago today on April 26th, 1991 in Japan. This is one of those SNES games I could just lose hours in. I love 2000 (especially on PC) but the simplicity of the original game with a controller is nice and cozy. I wasn't the best mayor a sim could ask for, especially when I was younger than 10 and the disasters were my favorite part. I did try and slowly learn the game, though. You probably can't tell from my gameplay, as I've forgotten a lot. I know this is far, far from optimal. The music deserves a special nod. Maxis' music evolved over the years especially to The Sims, but one thing remained constant. It was never intrusive, yet still there and wonderful. It's also very calming, a perfect match to the serenity of the city building. I very much needed this today. Apologies to anyone I've missed and will miss the replies to. It's been a rough weekend. Take care of yourselves. #RetroGaming

Joe Flacco on if he left the Ravens on good terms: "I think so. ... I have nothing but love for the people in that facility and the people in that city. ... I was a small school guy that they took a little bit of a chance on early on in the Draft. I have so many good memories with those people and that city and that stadium. ... I love the fans there. I think they have good memories of me playing football there." via Cleveland Browns

I started with the original SimCity in 1989, then SimCity 2000 in 1993, and ended my journey with SimCity 3000, released in 1999 by Maxis and EA, which - to me - is the pinnacle of city-building simulations. Players zone residential, commercial, and industrial areas on gigantic isometric maps, managing budgets, traffic, pollution, and waste - a new mechanic that was absent in SimCity 2000. You negotiate deals with neighboring cities for water or power, erect iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, and unleash disasters from earthquakes to locust plagues. Its jazzy soundtrack and advisor system add charm, and not only make it a fun but also an educational game. I loved SimCity and SimCity 2000, but the champion for me is the 3000 version, hands down. Still a great game today!

Presenting Network Cities (@network_cities_), a city builder game where your social network powers your game. The game allows the players to bring in their network without any friction. Bigger your network, the faster you progress in the game. The game follows the basic rules of a city builder game where you collect, build and expand your city. But having an in-game companion in the form of Nikola Tesla provides a new interaction model while playing the game. Because it is powered by LLMs that take the player state as the input, the players always get the right game quests tailored for them. Find the game link in the comments and let me know what you think.

Sandro Mamukelashvili on the city of Toronto: “Toronto, the city. The city is beautiful. But the weather? Once it started snowing in September, it didn’t stop snowing until late-April. It was brutal.” 😭 “The city is super nice. I think the mix of people, the way the people say it’s a melting pot, I feel like it makes a lot of sense. It is definitely a melting pot.” “The best thing is that, everybody gets along with each other, and the food is authentic.” “The city is live. We got Blue Jays going to the World Series. We (Raptors) went to the Playoffs. Toronto FC. It’s everything. And now, shoutout to [the Toronto] Tempo.” “It’s a great city. I loved everything about it.” ❤️ “Shoutout to our fans. Our fans, they showed through every game. They supported us through ups and downs. It was always sold-out. Every time you’re running out there, you’re not only playing for a city, you’re playing for a whole country. That’s definitely something you have to cherish when you’re here.” ❤️🇨🇦 ( Via.

During 2026 budget deliberations Regina’s CFO, Daren Anderson, argued against the perception that city administration is bloated with bureaucratic waste. Anderson explained the ratio of staff per residents has steadily been declining, wage increases were still below inflation, management levels are low, and city operations cost less than they did a decade ago (adjusted for population and inflation). According to Anderson, Regina could raise taxes by 10% and still remain in the bottom 25% of municipal property taxes in Canada. Ageing infrastructure and overdue capital projects are largely driving the property taxes increase in the city, while the reserves are approaching depletion. Anderson illustrated that while the city does have community programs and initiatives, those accounts receive a negligible portion of property taxes in comparison to the bulk of core services the city provides.

40 years ago today, Ace of Aces was released. It's probably a bit too old for some of the people who follow my account but it was certainly way ahead of its time back in 1986. Superb graphics, excellent sound effects and a story/gameplay that felt highly immersive - those are the things that I remember when first playing this as a kid. Not an easy game by any means but it got you hooked fast. I am not enough of a history buff to know whether the missions were somewhat realistic but I would like to believe so. The mission briefings and the "interactive" map during the game added to that feeling of authenticity. We used to turn up the volume for this one, especially for the intro and cutscene when the mission starts and the black and white picture slide show started, with the overlapping sound effects at the 0:30 mark - it still fascinates me to this day. That cutscene uses a total of six colours and it still looks absolutely incredible.

As the sun sets this evening in Jerusalem – as has happened every Friday evening for the past few decades – Muslims will leave the Old City after late afternoon prayers, and Jews will enter the Old City for their Shabbat evening prayers. The video was taken from Damascus Gate. It’s the entrance to the Muslim quarter of the Old City, and yet people of all faiths feel free to frequent it, to come and go as they please. This is my city – the capital of capitals – a citadel of three different faiths, home to synagogues and mosques and holy shrines. It is the capital of the promised land, a land promised to Ibrahim/Abraham, the forefather of both Muslims and Jews. It is the capital of Israelis and the capital of Palestinians. This little video I took last Friday evening shows something so simple – how normal it is to co-exist. How normal it is to share this sacred city. How normal it is to live together in a land promised to all of us.

Promises made and promises kept. Twenty years ago, the City of Glendale trusted Caruso with a bold idea on Brand Boulevard. That chance to build The Americana at Brand changed my life and the trajectory of my career. From walking a dilapidated four city blocks to seeing families, friends, and neighbors fill this place with their own memories—it’s a daily reminder that when you work hard, keep your promises, and put community first, amazing things can happen. To the residents of Glendale and all our guests from around LA, thank you for making The Americana part of your lives. We’re grateful to welcome you as our guests. And my deep appreciation and respect for the Mayor, City Council, City Manager, and the entire city leadership. Your vision and partnership have made Glendale truly best-in-class for quality of life, safety, and a thriving business community. Thank you for the Mayors Medal of Honor.
