I mean if you’re wanting features, go for the first with DLC (2nd one includes some of the 1sts DLC in base game but does leave some stuff out…) But I enjoy the road building more than the first, and the tax system makes the city feel more in your control (in regards to what businesses you want running). I also personally like the interface more and the overall simulation of pops seems improved from the 1st.

Most of the issues I had at release were weird bugs with certain commercial sectors not making any money, and homeless people crowding the streets, but my last playthrough which went up to Milestone 20, I had no bugs or issues that made me annoyed with the game.

The latest dev blogs actually make it sound like they’re doing something, so the hype of that could be affecting my opinion a bit.

As someone who’s spent a lot of time on Cities Skyline 2 recently, I’d argue it’s gotten a lot better. They have new devs that are actively working on fixing the game and I’ve had almost no bugs compared to 2 or 3 years ago. Would recommend giving it another chance

Man this reminds me of one of my old buddies. Used to love Nintendo, would always reference old video games, wore converse and drank Yoohoos.

Unfortunately we don’t talk anymore after some friend group drama a few years ago. This painting makes me miss him a bit.

This must be what I missed too, will give it a try

Is anyone else experiencing slowness and sometimes freezing after updating? This is mostly happening when I go to my home screen, and the server CPU load spikes.

I think they store the account info locally so you can login offline, but there may be restrictions to that I’m not aware of.

Looked into this a bit because, from my work experience, I’m pretty sure it’s a lot harder to install Windows 11 with a local account than it used to be. Most people I help are logged in with Microsoft accounts, and most of the results I get when looking at how to make a local account in Win11 are workarounds and command prompt lines.

According to this article last year they tried removing those workarounds.

Why does Augie burn his hand on the quickie griddle?

Neat! They somehow also look like lizards sticking their tongue out at eachother.

I often see posts from the LGBT community that make me feel… Envious? Almost like I’m missing out on something. The social stigma of being “gay” for having feelings must’ve really gotten to me growing up. I feel there’s a blockage in my brain and emotions that tells me I can’t be a silly, goofy, caring guy, so I default to being quiet and closed off. Almost like my true potential as a person is being surpressed by the thoughts of myself and the beliefs of those around me.

I’ve thought about it, and I know I’m not gay, but as you describe in your post, there is some kind of societal disapproval around men having deeper emotions that I see in almost everyone around me, especially in myself. My dad and brother never vent, complain, cry, etc. They just wake up, go to work, and distract themselves the rest of the day. I can’t remember the last time I had a deep conversation with somebody other than my wife (we fortunately don’t have a “traditional” relationship in the sense of this post and can be vulnerable with each other). The last 2 times I’ve tried to communicate real issues with my dad, I’ve written real, detailed letters, which went completely ignored, twice.

I completely see what you’re getting at. Traditional gender roles DO seem to make love impossible, and the hyper-masculine(?) somehow make an exception to reproduce. At least that would explain why I was born, but my family has shown little care for the mental health or wellbeing of myself or others. It’s almost like the societal pressure to get married and have children override the actual feelings of love for others.

Too bad there are like 10 trains total in America

Oh wow I just looked that up and you’re definitely right. Weird coincidence!

Garlic is understandable, I use a shit ton… But if it’s an “extract” it’s definitely getting measured. Maybe I’m just picky about my baked goods.

Nice job on the neon letters. Thought they were digital until I zoomed in.

Since the powers that be are making no steps to slow this down… we need somebody to invent a Mega Space Air Conditioner that blow exhausts hot air directly into space.

There is no way open source software could possibly keep up with Google Maps unless it’s community-backed by a lot of people. Sure, in a 1 on 1 competition, the one with a billion dollars has an advantage, but in a 10,000 to 1 competition, things start looking a little more even.

That being said, it would be a better use of your energy to take the 5 minutes to add the facility in Open Street Maps rather than complain online about it. Maybe it would help 5 or 10 others with similar issues, and you can feel good about making a community contribution.

Government-appointed CEO sounds great if the government appointing them wasn’t corrupt. There’s no way in hell people would be okay with the Trump admin appointing a new CEO of Facebook.

Yeah more like a buttcrack

I just looked at my Pihole and I don’t see any requests for this domain in the last 24 hrs. 4 people with android phones on my network. Maybe best to block it for now? Could be from an app you have running in the background too, if you transfered data to the new phone.

In my experience with Mealie, most sites work, but I think some don’t allow scraping or something because every once in awhile we can’t import a recipe.

Alternatively they have a built in AI that can scan an image, so if you feed it a screenshot of a recipe it’ll likely get it in there (may need to double check stuff though)
