A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I still remember this being an option in SimCity, late 90s version? The "disaster" event was the laser beam missing, and cutting lines through your city and starting fires. I'm sure Sierra's technology hasn't influenced the real thing though.

SimCity 2000, that was my first thought too. Fun times.
