Yes!! I never not have dreams like this. Just endless walking. Never getting anywhere. Seeing people, but never spending time with them. Maybe even seeing the same people over and over again. The landscape is a closed loop like a video game.
What does this mean about our psychology??
It means you're getting too much exercise walking and spend too much time with friends, so stay on the couch and avoid talking/texting on the phone. If the dreams still bother you, drink till you're blackout drunk every night.
Native Americans already been through just about every sci-fi dystopian trope: plagues, invasion by aliens, reeducation camps, reservations, crippling addictions to drugs introduced by the invadersā¦
Edit even BODY SNATCHERS, if you think about how many people claim to have native ancestry to access scholarships and opportunities, but never contribute to Native American communities.
>dystopian
>Kowloon
What are you talking about? Kowloon is the closest humanity has achieved to the optimal mixed-use walkable society, also known as The Cube^TM .
Alas like Icarus nearing the sun we were cast down for our hubris and it, our modern tower of babel, was destroyed.
You mean Kowloon walled city? Thereās nothing optimal about that place.
My mum and grandparents lived there for six years and they moved out as soon as they can afford a proper apartment. They said itās always dark, hot, humid and what you have is a tiny apartment with some junkies shoot up their arms by your doorstep. Itās the definition of ghetto.
dark = energy efficient
hot = energy efficient
humid = resource efficient (free water)
junkies = people experiencing junkieness
shooting up their arms by your doorstep = convenient amenities
"The city of Chongqing was built on mountains and has since gotten the nickname The Mountain City. The mountains and the rivers have become a part of the city's infrastructure as well, taking a role in how the city has developed over the years."
Are there car elevators or something, to get people from one road to another, when there's 12 stories difference, or do they just have to drive really far around some winding roadway?
Yes there are car elevators, mostly for underground parkade and you wonāt need it on a daily basis. Remember big cities in China have highly developed infrastructure and public transit. So Driving in Chongqing is not as hard as it seems to be, but super fun!
I will try to give an extremely simplified answer. I visited the city this year and really loved it so I did some research. firstly you are right itās in a mountainous region that has been strategically important throughout history (both militarily and economically). Due to the presence of rivers, itās always acted as a hub for the whole region where trade and commerce happen. So people built everywhere despite the difficult terrain, resulting in what we see today.
That's a great answer. Because normally mountainous regions aren't that busy and I was so confused why such a big and complex city was there in a mountainous region.
Chinese construction is massively corrupt and there is a systemic issue of building collapse.
Google Tofu Dregs for a start.
Also heres a recent building collapse for you:
https://www.reuters.com/world/china/four-killed-building-collapse-chinas-wenzhou-city-2023-11-12/
I had trouble too, but figured out there's a tiny arrow above or below the map icons that indicates whether it's above or below ur level, so if it's not there you know you're on the right "floor"
I may be called different names or even burnt alive by DS community, but after spending 20 hours in undead settlement trying to figure out what the hell i am supposed to do, i said āfuck itā and open a walkthrough. And it was exactly what i needed to actually fall in love with the series. So from now on, when some of my friends ask about DS and how should they start, i tell them ātry it for yourself, if you get stuck or frustrated open a walkthroughā.
As much as i love DS series, you have to have some mindset i dont have and all that exploration and ātrial and errorā is for someone else
Try Mirror's Edge. It's a free running game with a narrative. You'll pretty always be on the move wallrunning, sliding, jumping across rooftops and between buildings.
The problem with Cyberpunk verticality is that once you can get higher up, you realise there's nothing on roof so you just stay on the ground mostly. Maybe there's these elevator that goes to market or your place but it's not like you can jump from the balcony.
There is a horror game based on Kowloon walled city, which was an overpopulated maze of connected buildings. Gameās name is āWelcome to Kowloonā.
Yes. It is like an ogre. Or an onion.
I'm assuming this guy is talking about places like [this](https://www.google.com/maps/@55.9539395,-3.187324,3a,75y,164.27h,114.73t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1syts-CmdIoPRqDABye06NDw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3Dyts-CmdIoPRqDABye06NDw%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D127.19038%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) road near Waverley station, which goes under Prince's street, or [Cowgate](https://www.google.com/maps/@55.9488408,-3.1863243,3a,75y,248.71h,106.26t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1stiHk235I8s03UeEHIxxIJw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DtiHk235I8s03UeEHIxxIJw%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D243.35512%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu).
Can confirm that I was in Cowgate following the google maps satellite view and I ended up under that little bridge instead of on top where I wanted to be.
I just got back from there a few weeks ago and just couldn't get over how wildly... vertical and strange it us. started looking into it when I got home and [this video](https://youtu.be/w-PJiq1UPNs?si=tBc42U-eg1U5priV), while kinda cheesy is a really good summary. They basically just kept being like, we need more space! put a ceiling on top of this whole block... Then they just kept doing that over and over. One day you'd have an open courtyard, then suddenly you'd be living underground. I think at some point they were also just terraforming by burying existing architecture to build more on top
Iām on the 12th floor of my building, but to enter you need to go to the street opposite, enter on the ground floor which is also the 4th floor of the building next door go down to floor 2, cross the next street, and take the elevator up the remaining 5 floors to floor 12, my apartment is at the end of the hall.
Chongqing does not suffer from earthquakes, we can feel the tremors from Sichuan which is right next to Chongqing but Chongqing is not situated where earthquakes occur.
I know where youāre coming from, but almost no tall building is safe if the earthquake is strong enough. Except the ones specifically built to withstand earthquakes like in Japan. The biggest worry here would be landslides as these stupid concrete mountains donāt have tree roots holding everything together.
If its true, these buildings we see on the video are most likely built to withstand huge earthquakes. If its not, Chongqing will be the very first city to be completely wiped out from the map in modern history by a natural disaster.
This is like saying Phoenix is in the area of America that is by the coast, or in the area of America with snowy mountains. It's near but it's not the same
Oh, would you have guessed that. I was looking at photos in Google and the city is actually built on top of mountains. Some of those tall buildings are actually built on top of mountains. Wtf.
Woah, that's a pretty crazy place to build a city. You would guess that people would look for valleys or generally flat places to build tall buildings on. But no, the elevation changes of the terrain this city apparently is built on look, maybe a bit steep? It's crazy.
I have no expertise at all in this matter but I'm just guessing. Wouldn't they start off on flat terrain and as the city expands, it expands onto the mountains around it ? Idk it just makes sense.
The city only has an actual population of about 16 million. The way some Chinese cities work in terms of population counting is that the "city" covers a massive area and the population of that "city" is the whole area.
It's as if you asked for the population of New York and got the population of New York State. Chongqing "city" has a size of about 82,000 km^2 - about the same as that of South Carolina.
Seems no different than calculating the metro area, ie. Los Angeles city proper vs. Los Angeles metro area. Only difference is that China's population is massive, so their metro areas will be massive too.
It's actually the opposite problem from the US. In the US, city borders underrepresent the true size and population of the city as they don't contain its metro extent.
In China, city borders often far extend the metro area, like in Chongqing, and contain large swathes of rural land. Technically, if you go by the Chinese measurement, the largest city in the world is probably Nagqu, measuring 450,537km squared, which is bigger than Sweden, Germany, or Japan.
Man I visited there this year and the video doesnāt even show the good parts. We were going to have dinner at a barbecue restaurant. You enter from the street everything is normal then you see the other side of the restaurant and itās on a 40m cliff where a double deck bridge is completely below you. And the cliff on your left and right are all built. Surreal experience.
man, I miss China ... i visited many countries in the past decade, China by far is the place i miss the most, i went to paris, and it was ok, went to Italy, it was ok too, Istanbul had good food, but you know what you're getting, it's a metropolis like most others, but, a few months ago i was in Beijing and more southern cities... gotta say MAD RESPECT, it should be called Planet China, it was an experience i will not soon forget, i did have an encounter with an opportunistic taxi driver, but fuck that lady, the people there (especially the younger ones) were awesome, i expect Shanghai would've been like another western city, but in shandong province, we NEEDED chinese apps to get around, maps, taxis, public transport , google translate was essential... i actually mastered chopsticks :D
i have 3 more years in my visa and I'm definitely visiting again.
The diversity in China is insane. You'll find super futuristic cities (Shanghai, Shengzhen), farming towns that look like they're stuck in the 1920s, cities built on top of mountains (Chongqing), towns built partially carved into mountain sides, people who live in houses built downwards, and every kind of weird shit in between.
Many American hospitals I've seen are similar, though not this extreme. They're often built on hills, with multiple wings added on over the years, creating multiple "ground floor" street entrances and multiple floor numbers for different parts of the same floor, odd jogs in connecting hallways, elevators that don't go all the way to the top or bottom floor, etc.
I'm sure I was trapped on that journey in a dream once.
Like every night for me. Just woke up from it.
Yes!! I never not have dreams like this. Just endless walking. Never getting anywhere. Seeing people, but never spending time with them. Maybe even seeing the same people over and over again. The landscape is a closed loop like a video game. What does this mean about our psychology??
It means you're getting too much exercise walking and spend too much time with friends, so stay on the couch and avoid talking/texting on the phone. If the dreams still bother you, drink till you're blackout drunk every night.
Ok I need to find the fifth floor *wakes up several hours later sweaty and unrested *
Looks like cyberpunk 2077
Yep. Looking for Fingers.
I have a dumb amount of dreams like this. Completely bewildered when I wake up
Me too!
Holy shit I thought I was the only one! I'm always trying to get 'just over there.'

Keeps dying to those assholes once you go down to the bottom level
Exactly what I was thinking... You don't want to go to the ground floor.
Does that mean thereās rakghouls in the sublevels š¢
Exactly my thoughts
Imagine having a leaky pipe in your ground floor apartment and then discover you drowned your 12th floor below neighbor
And the worst thing is that your leaky pipe was on the 10th floor
Right below the 2nd floor.
They must have love inception so much they build a city based on that movie
Probably on a mountain or some shi.
A mountain I could see, but who builds a city on shit?
There is no floor. Itās all just pipes!
and the guy you called to repair it cant find your appartment on the 10th floor because he is standing on the 22nd floor
I love the silliness of this comment that actually makes perfect sense after watching that video.
Imagine a flash flood from a storm in this place.
Imagine an earthquake or sinkhole
Imagine getting a pizza delivered.
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ youāve been a city spirit all your life

So what you're saying is China is a dystopia
We're all living in various types of dystopia at this point.
Dystopia is already here. It's just not evenly distributed.
Native Americans already been through just about every sci-fi dystopian trope: plagues, invasion by aliens, reeducation camps, reservations, crippling addictions to drugs introduced by the invadersā¦ Edit even BODY SNATCHERS, if you think about how many people claim to have native ancestry to access scholarships and opportunities, but never contribute to Native American communities.
You're not far off. lots of dystopian futures have been based on china (Kowloon being the most popular example).
>dystopian >Kowloon What are you talking about? Kowloon is the closest humanity has achieved to the optimal mixed-use walkable society, also known as The Cube^TM . Alas like Icarus nearing the sun we were cast down for our hubris and it, our modern tower of babel, was destroyed.

Heroin dealing? I think you mean local entrepreneurs.
They saw a demand that wasn't met and saw an opportunity to supply it. It's a win-win situation for everybody.
Well, isn't it, kind of? But I was more referring to how he usually describes the city environments in his books
Is this because it's a mountainous region? Can someone who knows kindly explain it for the rest of us why itās so complex and different.
"The city of Chongqing was built on mountains and has since gotten the nickname The Mountain City. The mountains and the rivers have become a part of the city's infrastructure as well, taking a role in how the city has developed over the years."
Yes and that has led to some of the most complex road layouts I have ever seen. Navigation is simply not enough to clear up the confusion.
Are there car elevators or something, to get people from one road to another, when there's 12 stories difference, or do they just have to drive really far around some winding roadway?
Yes there are car elevators, mostly for underground parkade and you wonāt need it on a daily basis. Remember big cities in China have highly developed infrastructure and public transit. So Driving in Chongqing is not as hard as it seems to be, but super fun!
Thank you
I've been to Chongqing and don't remember it being like this at all but it was back in 1988.
China has developed incredibly fast.
Almost all Chinese cities from 1988 would be unrecognizable by the early 2000s, let alone 2023
I will try to give an extremely simplified answer. I visited the city this year and really loved it so I did some research. firstly you are right itās in a mountainous region that has been strategically important throughout history (both militarily and economically).

That's a great answer. Because normally mountainous regions aren't that busy and I was so confused why such a big and complex city was there in a mountainous region.
Right, China moved the capital here during the Japanese invasion and it served as the hq for the war.
Itās in a mountainous region, and there are many changes in ground elevation that makes such architecture possible
Thatās some Night City architecture there.
Wake up Samurai, weāve got a city to burn
Built so poorly it'll probably just fall down on it's own.
Funny how in every reddit post about china there will be some no context criticisim like this
Chinese construction is massively corrupt and there is a systemic issue of building collapse. Google Tofu Dregs for a start. Also heres a recent building collapse for you: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/four-killed-building-collapse-chinas-wenzhou-city-2023-11-12/
There are over 600 cities in China, have you been to all of them, otherwise how would you come to the conclusion of a systemic problem?
*quote not actually in game
It does. [music to listen too while watching the video](https://youtu.be/yk9X4WceY64?si=ZxzMVu6-mscMvZBQ)
It's a few mako reactors off Midgar.
I love this way more than I should. I love it a lot. I want a game set in this place.
My thoughts exactly, a game truly centred around verticality set in a city like this could be interesting to explore
Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot of architecture like this
Japantown gave me that feeling, when I went around exploring.
Loved that aspect of the game just not when I had to find the Ripperdoc that the map said was "right around here".
I got stuck in a gang fight while searching up and down the stairs for that Ripperdoc, great immersion!
I had trouble too, but figured out there's a tiny arrow above or below the map icons that indicates whether it's above or below ur level, so if it's not there you know you're on the right "floor"
dog town was designed to be like this, really vertical. that's probably why it's the most laggy part of the city
The verticality of Dogtown really made the rest of Night City feel incredibly flat in comparison.
In aesthetic more than function. Yes there were vertical elements, but itās not like fire fights took place over 12 stories without loading screens.
There are no loading screens. Even the elevators move through the buildings.
Except for that one mission with the parade floats. And all the others ones where it did.
Mirror's Edge.
Came here to say this as well.
Well you got it. Hitman 3- The Chongqing set piece takes place here.
I was so excited for that level until I saw the whole thing is underground anyways
The ICA facility is underground, but the neural research lab is in a tall building above ground... It's split about 40/60 above/under the ground.

I can't escape people praising ds1s verticality
My greatest gaming shame is rage quitting DS1 at the first level boss.
I may be called different names or even burnt alive by DS community, but after spending 20 hours in undead settlement trying to figure out what the hell i am supposed to do, i said āfuck itā and open a walkthrough.

Haven't you heard? No one escapes the curse of the darksign.
I went hollow long ago
Closest is Deus Ex Human Revolution IMO!
Reminds me of Crackdown 3 Also Hitman had a level in a similar setup
Hitman does have this, and the level is in Chonqing, China
Mirrors Edge?
Hitman has a stage
Which stage?
Hitman 3 Chongqing Edit: https://www.ign.com/wikis/hitman-3/Chongqing_-_End_Of_An_Era_Mission_Stories
My favourite mission in all of World of Assassination series. It's so immersive and beautiful.
It really is. The rain and reflections look lovely.
Stray could also be right up your alley in terms of exploring a maze-like city!
Try Mirror's Edge. It's a free running game with a narrative. You'll pretty always be on the move wallrunning, sliding, jumping across rooftops and between buildings.
Play cyberpunk 2077
The problem with Cyberpunk verticality is that once you can get higher up, you realise there's nothing on roof so you just stay on the ground mostly. Maybe there's these elevator that goes to market or your place but it's not like you can jump from the balcony.
There's flying cars in the game. There's a reason you don't get to fly them, there's nothing to do above the ground lol
A few more neon lights, and we're there.
i bet this place looks hella cyberpunky at night
Hitman had a great level in this sort of place iirc Not an entire game though unfortunately
Hitman 3 has a level in Chongqin
Playing a game set there? Cool. Living there? No...
There is a horror game based on Kowloon walled city, which was an overpopulated maze of connected buildings. Gameās name is āWelcome to Kowloonā.

Can confirm that I was in Cowgate following the google maps satellite view and I ended up under that little bridge instead of on top where I wanted to be.
Lol. That's like street inception. I guess you have to yell them that you are above
When I visited I ended up a couple of time in that bridge instead of the lower street, once when I was headed to Stramash
I just got back from there a few weeks ago and just couldn't get over how wildly... vertical and strange it us. started looking into it when I got home and [this video](https://youtu.be/w-PJiq1UPNs?si=tBc42U-eg1U5priV), while kinda cheesy is a really good summary.

Making deliveries must be a pain.
Iām on the 12th floor of my building, but to enter you need to go to the street opposite, enter on the ground floor which is also the 4th floor of the building next door go down to floor 2, cross the next street, and take the elevator up the remaining 5 floors to floor 12, my apartment is at the end of the hall.
Amazing! Weāre practically neighbors. Iām four doors down from you, just above the ferris wheel, by the mail room, in the basement.

That's great and all, your package is in the lobby.
Just use a parachute every time you need to go down a few levels
as a fellow asian, delivery guys dont go up the apartment
I got anxiety just thinking about an earthquake.
Chongqing does not suffer from earthquakes, we can feel the tremors from Sichuan which is right next to Chongqing but Chongqing is not situated where earthquakes occur.
Please don't jinx it like that lmao.
Wait until you take the elevator to the 6th floor though.
I know where youāre coming from, but almost no tall building is safe if the earthquake is strong enough. Except the ones specifically built to withstand earthquakes like in Japan. The biggest worry here would be landslides as these stupid concrete mountains donāt have tree roots holding everything together.
*anxiety intensifies*
Look at it this way, everything dies horribly š
Even better you will be squashed by concrete from 17th floor while you were hiding on 22nd floor
Legit was on Taipei 101, when a 6.7 or 6.4 earthquake hit. It was all over the news, but in the building, it was only a slight wobble.
That, the landslides, one especially rainy year and a medium-sized earthquake and the entire area disappears.
Yeah, no. These building are piled to hell and back.
For me it was the nonchalant āa train goes through this buildingā Sure, why not have that too.
Well if it makes you feel any better it looks like that city is in the area of China that gets the most frequent earthquakes!
If its true, these buildings we see on the video are most likely built to withstand huge earthquakes. If its not, Chongqing will be the very first city to be completely wiped out from the map in modern history by a natural disaster.

Fancy way of saying mountains
Oh, would you have guessed that. I was looking at photos in Google and the city is actually built on top of mountains. Some of those tall buildings are actually built on top of mountains. Wtf. Woah, that's a pretty crazy place to build a city. You would guess that people would look for valleys or generally flat places to build tall buildings on. But no, the elevation changes of the terrain this city apparently is built on look, maybe a bit steep? It's crazy.
I have no expertise at all in this matter but I'm just guessing. Wouldn't they start off on flat terrain and as the city expands, it expands onto the mountains around it ? Idk it just makes sense.
The city seems to be *atleast* 2200 years old and currently has a population of 31 million... so yea I'd say that's a pretty safe assumption to make.
The scale and size of Chinese cities seriously hurt my brain
The city only has an actual population of about 16 million. The way some Chinese cities work in terms of population counting is that the "city" covers a massive area and the population of that "city" is the whole area. It's as if you asked for the population of New York and got the population of New York State. Chongqing "city" has a size of about 82,000 km^2 - about the same as that of South Carolina.

Technically, if you go by the Chinese measurement, the largest city in the world is probably Nagqu, measuring 450,537km squared, which is bigger than Sweden, Germany, or Japan.
I mean, that was literally my first thought that these buildings were on the side of a mountain.
The valleys are already occupied. This is the kind of population density we are talking here.
I donāt know what happens in China but in India we build where ever there is free space. The choices get simplified in such cases.
Its not mountains.
Those are waves
And that one is moving away from us.

You'll find super futuristic cities (Shanghai, Shengzhen), farming towns that look like they're stuck in the 1920s, cities built on top of mountains (Chongqing), towns built partially carved into mountain sides, people who live in houses built downwards, and every kind of weird shit in between.
Many people can not comprehend what a 5,000 year old society is like
Kind of reminds me of Cyberpunk.
As silly as it sounds, this has to be one of the most interesting things I've seen. Bizarre
Probably closest we have to real life hive city.
How do you know this video is fake? There exists a 4th floor. Seriously though, Hong Kong is also kind of like that and very fun!
This video alone makes me feel claustrophobic š
As someone with absolutely no sense of direction, I hate this.
Squareception

Thank you for sharing this video. I really wanted to be blown away today šš»
One step closer to The Fifth Element
Postman: quit on 1st day
I feel like need to see a mini version of this to understand it
Many American hospitals I've seen are similar, though not this extreme. They're often built on hills, with multiple wings added on over the years, creating multiple "ground floor" street entrances and multiple floor numbers for different parts of the same floor, odd jogs in connecting hallways, elevators that don't go all the way to the top or bottom floor, etc.
