The SimCity meme collection stems from the long-running city-building simulation franchise created by Maxis. Most memes focus on the iconic 'Advisor' characters who frequently gave urgent, often frustrating, warnings about city management, or the sheer chaos triggered by the 'Disasters' menu. The 'You can't cut back on funding' line and the mysterious 'Reticulating Splines' loading screen have become staples of internet gaming culture. These memes are widely used to describe real-world urban planning failures, economic mismanagement, or the sudden, uncontrollable chaos of life that feels like a Godzilla attack in a digital metropolis.
