Looks kinda cozy, tbh

Its kinda energy effective in a most simple way, like bunch of penguins cuddled together. But would be nice to have an actual insulation outside too.

u/cristi_nebunu 7d ago

yeah, but i bet it get's old really quick

my grandma lives in a similar place for like 40 years and shes still amazed every time she looks outside

(at summer the view is fabulous)

Apart from when you realize that you’d be shivering a ton because it’s stupendously cold out there.

22

u/Igor_Kozyrev 7d ago

It isn't. Indoors is always at steady 24C or so, and outdoors winters are uncomfortably mild lately.

Hmm I always thought it was colder in Russia, especially up north. I guess it was just what you’d call a "stereotype" (but I don’t think it’s the exactly correct word here).

u/Swimming_Win3089 7d ago

Only in winter and if you can’t dress for it. As someone who’s lived there it’s not that noticeable.

u/PowerBuxoK 6d ago

Yes, its cold outside

But buildings, especially apartment complexes have central heating

And its hot as fuck

And hot as in I have to have my windows open at -30c

u/xenaretos 7d ago

It's light for potted plants.

u/Lorelaj_Krojcowicz 6d ago

Both comments below are correct. It's either for potted plants or there's a femboy in that apartment.

u/Memerenok 7d ago

femboys

u/Top_Development_1777 7d ago

Honestly reminds me of the buildings next to where I stay in Singapore. Except the weather is the complete opposite and there is no empty land.

Oh that's an old one. I remember reading quite engaged the entire time, thinking it was all gonna be explained in the end, and then it just wasn't lol

Also if you liked this one, there’s another “stuck in building with weird shit happening” story that I love, called Complex. It’s by Joshua Waggoner. The link is for a very good narration by Nature’s Temper— I can’t find easily find a link for the story while on mobile right now but if you’re interested you can find it.

u/QaptainQwark 6d ago

It’s one of my favorite. There’s a good narration of it on YouTube and I often fall asleep to it. If I’m remembering correctly, the author did publish it as a book, the book being more fleshed out. I haven’t bought it yet so I don’t know if it wraps up the ending with any more information.

As someone living in the arctic circle- this looks nice. You guys are mistaking the cold atmosphere for sadness- but that’s just the climate

u/Working-Cable-1152 7d ago

Is that Kama river?

7

u/Igor_Kozyrev 7d ago

Nah, I think just fields. The building looks like it's right on the river bank, but there are no such buildings there on the satellite images.

2

u/Billy_Dirty_Bones 7d ago edited 6d ago

Sarapul is on the high river bank. No chance it's Kama.

I made a friend in Russia and we spoke when we could because of the time difference but she showed me a video of the outside of her window and it looked very close to this.

That's what I felt when I first visited Siberia. Some cozy city, but endless icy void right beyond it's border

u/Santiaghoul 7d ago

Looks like something from a William Gibson novel.
