The skyscrapers are the giveaway. No way in hell usians would build anything other than single family detached housing in a new city.

they're not skyscrapers. they don't scrape the sky. the tops of those buildings is still like 2 miles below the top of the canyon

Because it's literally 10 times deeper than what you drew in the picture for starters. It's not just a big hole.

Also it's actively changing so those skyscrapers would consistently get washed away or wiped out by a rock slide everyrime you have them halfway built.

Doesn't the hero of atlas tugged go and live in a cyber paradise in a canyon or some shit?

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

uhh, it was a gulch, not a canyon...

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Living in a gulch or canyon sounds kinda cool, even if the light/dark cycle would be really fucked.
