I can't think of any examples of this?

specifically of heart iconography being associated with health

Pro Target

I mean, hearts represent lots of stuff, and you could just as easily claim that the hearts in castlevania represent "courage" or something else equally as abstract as "health"

oh yeah no doubt ther are a lot of things a heart could represent, but if the two options you have are health or ammunition...

Pro Target

well, its not really ammo is it since its a shared meter for all your weapons... its an abstraction thats ridiculous in the same way that picking up hearts to restore your health is also ridiculous, just more common

The heart was chosen in all of these situations because the developers realized that video games could never represent love, joy, or any other positive emotions and so the symbol was 'up for grabs'

I broke down and bought Cities Skylines because I am a City Builder Addict

I don't know how good it is past the beginning yet but I can say that it's at worst a better Sim City 5, since it seems like a (really well done) Sim City 5 mod more than a different game entirely.

my little town is coming along nicely...

same. it is bullshit that the kv-2 can traverse its turret while on an incline. everyone knows the thing couldn't horizontally overcome its own weight and required flat ground to turn the turret...

pro target is right

ok I played Cities Skylines for 3 or 4 hours today before work

It feels more like a Sim City 5 expansion pack than a brand new game, but a good one.

I restarted a few times as I was getting a feel for how power, water, and sewage work, etc. so I don't know if things get all hosed up later on because of agents. That's the main thing that brought SC5 down and it's not evident until you're much more familiar with the game.


The town of Yobton is pretty swell, except it's getting really hard to meet energy demands with wind power only.
