Mobile implies that the device is not in a fixed position.

Phones are also handheld... But you're saying they're... Not handheld?

I gotta say, SimCity 4 is probably my favorite game at the moment. The soundtrack, the simplistic yet charming graphics, the complexity... I'm not good at it, but boy do I enjoy it. It only took me 15 years to discover, too. Yeehaw.

I feel SimCity 4 is under-rated compared to the other SimCity games.

It's user-friendly without sacrificing the complexity of the earlier SimCity games.

Bah, nobody is good at SimCity, not after this guy fucking broke the game over his knee:

This is true. I love that vid though, and reading about the city, and how it basically ended up being a totalitarian hellhole for the (numerous) citizens.

But honestly I feel as though in recent times 4 has been more popular than the other games, especially after Societies and 2013. Simtropolis is still pretty active all these years later. I only ever hear people say good of it. My only real complaint is the resolution sucks ass and I can't be bothered to fix it.

Took me very long to learn how to change the resolution on Origin.
Multiple mistakes were made.
But it looks so much better in my native resolution.

I actually did bother to fix it because it was giving me a headache and it was pretty easy to do, just had to enable a short command script from the steam launcher. And man, it makes the game look incredible.

I play on Origin, and while it’s pretty much the same thing you have to do, I uh...
I had issues.

Just because something calls itself a "novel" doesn't mean there's any notable amount of reading involved.
