#1 wish for Chinese kids is to be so far away from China that they are no longer on the Earth.

I once saw a clip from an interview with the governor (?) of Ohio. The interviewer mentioned that more astronauts had come from Ohio than any other state in the US. Governor was really proud, then interviewer asked "so what is it about Ohio that makes people want to flee the earth ?"
The fraction of a second "happy > confused > disbelieving > furious" shift on the governor's face is one of the best things I've ever seen.

e: drat it.

Those guys usually had some talent and made interesting performances

Now if you ”get fake scared by videogames” good enough that 14 year olds will think you are sufficiently amusing you can get rich

So now all kids aim to become idiot clowns on youtube

Its not like completely trash actors and musicians didnt get rich before.
And its not like there wasnt a mountain of broken dreams for each successful one.

The barrier for entry is much lower and thanks to things like patreon decoupling (a percentagr of total) ad revenue from being the sole source of income you can get a dedicated audience of a few thousand people and turn in a nice job replacement.

Not disputing that the fake hyper energy all-flash-no-content style that forcibly plagues my YT recs isnt agonizingly bad tho.

There are plenty of Youtube people who play city builder bideo james!

Sam Bur, strictoaster and two dollars twenty play Cities: Skylines as a kind of sculptural tool instead of a game. Usually a lot of fast-forward timelapse footage and so forth.

James Turner (Flabaliki) plays them all. Cities: Skylines, Project Highrise, Parkitect, Banished. His main channel has hundreds of hours of Sims content, which is also great. He plays the game and treates issues instead of just building the cities.

Finally Splitsie, who plays Space Engineers. Not a city builder per se, but a great let's player nonetheless.

I think it's also worth mentioning DoNotEat. He uses Cities: Skylines as a tool to educate you about the historical development of cities in his "Franklin" series and the policy and politics of cities more broadly in his "Power, Politics, & Planning" series. He's also got a patreon and his first bonus episode was on the Killdozer (only a dollar to access).

Okay these are nice,but boring:

If you want Cities Skylines where the guy builds a sewage volcano, or one where "Country Roads" blares while metors rain from the sky, then RT GAME is the guy fro you.
Stream Archives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=channel?UCyUmevTef0H-pFaspmfTb3Q Though, he doesn't really play that anymore, there are still multiple videos of the game.

Also he is Irish and says "tree" instead of "three" and it's so adorable

Yeah DoNotEat is the only city building gamer you should watch. He's also a goon and posts in his thread here.

Assuming these are lab grown, they probably put the embryo inside something off that shape and the eggs form into it.

Otherwise I have no idea.
