Reticulating splines actually comes from SimCity 2000 and they then used the idea in The Sims later

Actually, we used that phrase in a deceptive 'loading' progress box in PC/GEOS in 1989

Oh, interesting. I thought it came from Don't Starve but they must have been adopting this from SimCity.

  • Yes, it’s a relatively common SimCity reference, though I could swear I saw “Don’t Starve” say “Reticulating Pines”.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen another game than simcity give it a voiceover...
