@b@convo.casa I promise you I don't recommend Windows 11 (I really don't), and I don't intend to convert you to Android (meh whatever), but the Windows 11 / Android file manager connection is actually seamless and transferring music is a dream. Maybe the only good thing about that combination!

Gonna write a book called "A Fire Upon Eden's Gate" under the pen name Vernor Walth where a charismatic Oregon governor named Ravna McCall saves the world by changing Oregon land use law to restrict AI datacenters to carefully delineated areas inside the Transcend Growth Boundary.

@royal@theres.life New Orleans: a lot of the cliche tourist stuff is actually fun. Jackson Square, the French Quarter (but not Bourbon Street). Streetcars, oaks at City Park, the muffaletta at Central Grocery is genuinely good, you can skip Cafe Du Monde.Ferry to Algiers is fun but there is nothing over there.
Baton Rouge: I lived there for three years but can't recommend much. Old state capitol maybe? (better than the current one).
Or get out and do a swamp tour, but that's the whole day.

@ipsquiggle Golden Gates by Conor Dougherty is a great intro to some of the characters and stories of urbanism politics in California, but maybe not as useful for game design.
If the "models and systems" you're interested in are political, try Local Interests by Sarah Anzia. If they are economic, maybe Shut Out by Kevin Erdmann (quirky, maybe wrong, but interesting). If they are legal, try The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein.

@timcappalli Oh man I am irrationally emotional about this topic for no reason at all. I hope you enjoy the novel I just sent in.
