What year does synergized take place?

There is no set year, but it takes place sort of in the mid-2000s, at least technology-wise for humans. Aesthetically, it's somewhat a mix of multiple decades.

I set the technology at the mid-2000s for two main reasons. One a lot of my inspirations for this project are shows/comics from around that time, and two, the major reason I don't want to write smart phones or modern type social media. I don't find it fun to write (mostly modern social media integration), and what is considered modern changes so fast. No matter how up-to-date I try to keep it, the nature of a long-term project like this, it will fall behind anyway, so why not set it slightly in the past where I already know we're human technology is at and will go...

I kinda got a light alt-history thing going on where no real-world brands, cities, or countries are name-dropped. It feels pretty close to our world, but occasionally, a character will mention something like "at least Earth only had one world War" or how theirs a town that and all the people living in it mysteriously all turned into solid metal like 300 years ago, also it just a tourist attraction you can just visit now or religions/holidays being lil different from the real-world ones, the vibes are definitely east coast America, and it is sorta set there but it is definitely not a 1 to 1 with the real world (sorta how Steven universe handled things)

Inktober Day 5: Map

@commiearabgirl-2 after your reblog saying we should colonize France, I think I have to come out. I actually jokingly made a partition plan for Western Europe last week. The region is desperately in need of civilization so it is our duty to teach them how to be civilized.

This week, Australia became one of a growing group of countries that give workers the "right to disconnect" — they don't have to respond to after-hours messages from the boss unless it's an emergency. [...] After France became the first country to pass a right-to-disconnect law in 2016, many nations in Europe and South America followed suit. Even more companies stepped up in the wake of the pandemic when telework became more common and the lines between home and office were further obliterated. [...] Once upon a time, "after work" meant something. No more. "The very idea that, once work hours were over, no one could get hold of you —via email, text, Slack, whatever— is completely alien to contemporary young people, who never let their cellphones leave their hands," Slate's Dan Kois wrote last year. […] Technology and the remote work revolution mean your boss can reach you at any time, for any reason. Some countries are looking to restore some sanity to the situation.
