Good thing I’m attracted to fat people

I don’t think it had multiplayer but it did have different playable characters (with Yoshi — not Mario — being the default).

That bottom one really couldn’t decide if it wanted a wheel, a tread, or a catwalk ladder on the bottom right.

As a fan of Cities in Motion and Transport Fever, maybe I’ll finally check out this game.

It would be a cool mechanic if you had to mine ice with a mining drill, then heat it up before using it in water-based recipes. Maybe it could be done with a smelter, at the very least as an excuse to give it a fluid pipe graphic for modded recipes too. Would also be cool if you had to keep pipes heated or they’d burst — there aren’t many “maintenance” or “breakdown” mechanics like that, but it could risk being annoying especially if you’re on another planet.

They also said they were basing planets on temperature spectrums, so there’s got to be at least one cold one. But I’m sure they’ll make it unique — now that I think of it, it doesn’t have to have ice to be cold (though there will probably be a few deposits for all the recipes that use water).

Very exciting! I almost don't want to read the next planet FFFs because I don't want to be spoiled (though it sounds like an ice planet is probably in there somewhere).

This should be very useful for expanding to new areas! Or for providing emergency supplies if your trucks/buses get stuck. I wonder if they work in winter.

Side note, it would be nice if there were free harbors too, and smaller boats - the current ones are way too big for e.g. rivers.

Wouldn’t that be a bit complex to learn/hard to spend just 30 minutes a day playing? I haven’t played, but from what I can tell it’s basically rocket science the game.

Dramatic much? Maybe the people they follow haven’t moved to Mastadon.

I use Chrome! It’s nice how it syncs with my Google profile.

If I need 2 browsers for some reason, I also use Edge.

Isn’t Hydrogen only like 50% efficient?

Think they’ll bother fixing the bug with the loop-de-loop by then?

None of Atari’s recent Rollercoaster Tycoon games have been anywhere near even mediocre, let alone good. I can’t say I’m disappointed because it’s par for the course at this point.

That’s fair, we as a society are probably manipulated quite a lot. though I feel like law enforcement getting cases wrong is a somewhat separate issue from the “targeted ads” one. The alternative would be to use shittier evidence, potentially racism, or just let it go unsolved. I hate ads too and I block them so I don’t have to see them. I guess I’m tired that 1/3 of Lemmy posts seem to be about privacy/FOSS, I wish there was more variety like the R-site.

That was confounded because his mother’s ex boyfriend seemed to be the murderer and used his car. Am I the only person on Lemmy who DOESN’T obsess over privacy, demand FOSS, and refuse to use Windows? My mother doesn’t have a shady ex-boyfriend, and it seems like a pretty fair exchange otherwise to give up my data in exchange for great free services that generally work pretty well — it’s not like I could sell my data myself. Nor am I paying my own money to use them. I don’t feel like getting a worse experience for e.g. maps (saw another post about it) just for the sake of data that (for most intents and purposes) doesn’t affect me directly.

I guess it could sometimes be an unfortunate coincidence that you do something suspicious where a crime just occurred. But surely you’d be proven innocent after looking at other evidence.

If we aren’t committing any crimes, why should we care?

Why would you need an article when you have a headline and expert commentary in the comments?

Sadly one of the development diaries specifically said that train cargo stations will have a lot of traffic, so sadly I doubt it will be that different.

Well they did release the Plazas and Promenades DLC

Dang, guess I’ll have to upgrade my PC. Assuming I can’t get a GTX 750 TI to play it at 640x480 resolution.

I thought the whole point of the sequel was to be an actual game this time.

I feel like we’re reminded every day on here, it gets tiring to a point we don’t pay attention anymore.

Sadly I’m on an iPhone, though I do have one on my desktop.

Because why would I read an article that’s probably riddled with ads, when I could read a quick unbiased fact in the headline (edit: and an image) and get expert commentary in the comments (that often builds upon or refutes the article anyways)?

They never seem to be talked about in the context of Legend of Zelda games (in fact, seems like most handheld Zeldas get skipped), but they’re probably talked a lot about in the context of gameboy games.

Images are a lot lower resolution (and no “live” photos which are cute if your mom takes a pic of their pet bunny), you can’t add people to group chats or rename them, you can’t see if someone’s read or typed your message, you can’t “like” texts without them appearing like the above post, I think there are even sound bites, little games but I haven’t played with them.

Sounds like an incredibly popular opinion to me! On Reddit, on Lemmy, even my IRL high school history teacher had a vendetta against the south. But I guess that’s just /c/unpopularopinion for you.

No, far cheaper to buy in bulk at the superstore

I thought NASA only paid SpaceX to fund NASA’s launches, not SpaceX’s launches. And still a lot cheaper than NASA’s own programs.

Yes, reading Lemmy you’d think Linux has a 90% market share.

Heaven says “your browser is not supported”? Funny because of the frustration of using non-Chromium browsers on certain websites.

How many earthquakes has Morocco had by now? Seems like every day they have a new earthquake that pops up on here, each one with more people dead than the last.

It needed to happen at some point. Cities: Skylines had quite a few engine limitations and the core gameplay was too simple, it wasn’t enough to keep piling on new features. A sequel gave them the opportunity to start from scratch and rework fundamental systems (like the roads) without having to ensure old cities still worked.

I always assumed it was the posts reaching “all” and actually getting diverse/dissenting opinions (unlike a certain other site!)

My best guess is a free update alongside the patch, but I’m not officially associated so take that with a grain of salt.

Ooh more western vehicles! Though was really hoping to hear about e.g. balance changes as 1.0 approaches. I feel like there are a few rough edges that could be smoothed out, like a single coal mine needing multiple processing plants to keep up, when the ratio of inputs suggest the opposite, or demolition having trouble with things like stranded factory connections. Also really looking forward to the map types DLC, and can hardly wait for version 1.0 to come out!

Ooh, I was curious if they’d solve the lack of robot pathfinding over dead zones. Seems like they’ll still get eaten over enemy territory, but at least they won’t get stuck in an infinite loop.

I was thinking specifically for the video game Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic (which I should have specified in the post instead of relying on the sublemmy name). In game, you’re encouraged to build walkable cities as citizens don’t have cars and you get quite a few high rises to choose from. You still need buses to get them to work since factories often need to be farther away due to pollution.

People in-game have a maximum walking distance of ~400m (varies based on the road/path type), and it’s quite common for people to build cities such that all buildings are in range of a single large bus stop. As a result, many in-game cities end up with bus stops ~600+ meters apart since every building will be in the radius of one. IRL it’s a lot nicer to have bus stops closer together since you’d be willing to walk a lot farther to a grocery store than a bus stop, and I was hoping to build the busway with closer stops, but I was hoping there’d be an in-game justification for it. Especially as cities usually don’t end up big enough to justify a more than ~5 far-spaced stops which could be served with a single route.

As for the issue of the bus stopping too much, on the busway I could have each bus route pick up at every other stop, then all drop off at work, so the main issue would be needing more buses and stations.

I also posted this question on the Steam forums, turns out people in-game work longer to compensate for being on the bus, but NOT for walking time which seems like a good enough excuse to me.
