Wallahi my sleep schedule is cooked
I finally deleted all the social media apps off my phone because my ADHD leads me to use that effortless means of dopamine instead of genuinely fulfilling things and it just got so absurd recently
Im working on a map project for the near future (2050) if anyone has any cool ideas for countries and such in that scenario lmk
Have a good Monday comrades and here’s an Evil for morale
That sounds cool! Mind explaining a bit more what you mean? Is it what you think the world will look like in 2050 or more just fun hyptotheticals that are unlikely? The sobering reality is industrialized society as we know it might not exist by then.
It’s somewhere in between, I want it to be very grounded but also still considering some of the crazy shit that’s entirely possible.
To be brief, it’s basically like Cyberpunk + The Fire Rises (HOI4 mod) + Pantheon, it’s a recovering post collapse world where most of the recovery is being facilitated by AI.
It’s sort of like post cyberpunk, maybe urban solarpunk? If you lived in the US you wouldn’t have access to the same luxuries of globalization anymore, at least to the same extent, infrastructure would be crumbled, there would be no federal structure, but communities would still make do and build on top of the ruins of capital.
