I definitely feel games like Sims and Simcity changed my perception of resource safety as a child. I played Sims/Simcity2000~3000/Civs for hundreds of hours as a kid, and I loved the "realistic" feels and setups of these

One thing that might not be related but I found fascinating is that Jupiter is “木星” in Chinese, where “木” means wooden. The first time “木星” was mentioned in Chinese literature was in 东汉, year 25 - year 220 (around 1800 years ago). So Chines
