    Fun fact: The World’s Largest Ball of Twine is in Cawker City, Kansas. It started with one person with a dumb little hobby. Now, there’s a little celebration for the ball of twine where people add more twine. This started because after the original twine-person died, someone else tried to make a bigger ball of twine. In memorial of the person who started the ball of twine, the community protects the world record by continuing to build up the twine ball. It’s really silly, but it’s also very sweet. I drive through Cawker City a few times each year, and even though I don’t stop for the twine, it makes me smile.
    Also if there three more balls of twine, it’d be hilarious to see where they’d put it

      I really wanted to lvoe it, had been looking forward to it for so long. Thing is, it was just awful when it came out. Horrible lack of features, mechanics only available through DLCs, and just poor optimisation and bug fixing. Cities Skylines was the saviour we needed, and it definitely delivered.
      There are definitely many parts of Simcity 2013 that were actually great, and I wished were carried over to CS. Like adding on truck garages to fire stations and things like that.

    Day 72 of telling Kevin that my friend said and I quote "Kevin is boring and he probably smells cheese, but like not in a bad way ya know" and after some further thought I think Kevin would smell like cheese. (I asked her and she said Swiss cheese)

    Lmao, as garbage piles up on the beach, a lone voicemail ensuring that "life's a beach" satisfies all concerns!

    Kevin: Builds city solely to extract a highly flammable liud
    Also Kevin: Refuses to build fire control services cause haha suffering
    Me: Understandable (:P) but maybe build a station right beside the oil plant...keep it from serving any other areas if possible
