new zealand is for explorers
Amsterdam, 2026.06.12
I was playing my slightly sci-fi re-skin of the 1991 desktop game Civilization, sailing across the open Pacific in a transport, looking for new land. I didn't know it, but I was two squares from land when one of my cities built the Apollo Project and the whole map was cleared. And there before me was this sight.

is this NZ I see before me?
I was so tickled that I had Claude add the game to some open stretch of water on every Epic-sized auto-generated map.
