Am I the only one?

... probably not. But Am I the only one that wakes up in the morning, pours some coffee (adds some milk, some sugar...), goes to his PC, reads some news and after that spends 5 - 10 minutes starring hopelessly at Cities: Skylines roundabouts?

I have this city, a pretty small one and I have this Roundabout that is the bone-marrow of my city. All great things have to pass through it before happening. I see donut cars, firemen, police, garbage trucks, citizens, children walking dogs and mostly anything and everything.

Such an awesome feeling to look at and study your little minions, mindlessly touring the roundabout.

Am I the only one who thinks it would be awesome if there was a DLC/Mod to convert the "Minions" of the city to actual Minions

Wakes up. Tick
Makes coffee. Tick
Milk, sugar. Tick
Goes to PC. Tick
Reads some news. Tick
Spends 10 minutes staring at C:S. Tick

It takes time to plan next steps carefully; where to build; where to put roads; where to zone; how to link up separate areas; where to place stations; how to integrate them into existing rail network; etc etc etc

I do a lot more planning and understanding of the ebb and flow of my cities than I do actually building. I also have the Proper Hardness mod, so money is never abundant, so couldn't build quickly even if I wanted to.

Anyway. Back to staring endlessly at the minions.

I can watch them for ages... at the edge of my city I created a small terminus for my 2 bus routes, just a small one way system where the buses could turn and head back to town. It was on a dual carriageway road so I built a small pedestrian overpass and paths for the local residents to cut though to the bus stop. I just stared at it for ages, watching them busily going to and from work, school, the shops. Even some changed from one route to the other. Rushing over the foot bridge to catch the next bus. I seriously ought to get a life but in the mean time... <stare>

Nope. You're not the only one. I've got roundabouts in my city, but three of them are the most mesmerising:
