Damn…ATC was pretty insane too recovering from this.

@Whoofe said in Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition:

what is enhanced

It looks better on modern resolutions and with higher FPS than the original. The devs said on twitter that they are working on fixing bugs, so some of the issues it has might get fixed.

I updated it… didn’t check if it works.

I leaned to Scamdroid. My phone added a captions setting on the the screen volume setting.

Low res countries are so third world.

emperor of the byzantines is fun

I might try a rogue build since I’ve never done one before. Only ranged, caster and tanks.

Been playing it a bit as a solo player.

It’s pretty fun. Battles in space fighting multiple enemy vessels, enemies boarding your ship or you boarding their ship. You can do away missions. Even as a solo player though a lot of things require your personal input to work. While as a MP game you’d have the crew doing all the other jobs.

Of course Neebs and his bunch are about as dysfunctional as you can get but they are hilarious!

Just realized I have no clue how to play this any more!

Any more?

I think Tigger’s winter survival would be getting through a winter with no snow.

This!

This winter wasn’t great for snow, we had 2 months of no precipitation in february and march. Surprisingly we got decent snowfall end of last week and I headed out for dad’s low altitude freeriding.

Hoch Ybrig in April

@jam I meant to do that!!

Nebulous: Fleet Command stealth missile strike example

Get some!

So I find part of the Aurora in about 300m of water. Right at the edge of what my Seamoth can do depth-wise. I get out of the Seamoth and cut my way into the wreck and begin to scan PRAWN parts when I hear a proximity alarm and some rather loud “crunching” sounds. I’ve got about 45secs of air left in my tank when I get back outside of the wreck only to find my Seamoth has been broken up into pieces by a damn Leviathan. So I break out the swim motor thingy and make a run for the surface. I’m about 10m from the surface when I run out of air! Lucky for me my momentum carried me that last 10m and I did not die. But that 5700m swim back to my base sucked.

This is a Covid-19 game, right?

No. It’s utterly unrealistic. It’s got zombies but not people running to them to get bitten claiming they are a liberal hoax.

Only if you do not make it back to the drop ship in time. Your avatar ends up dead and you start all over.

I noticed there is a derail button. Perhaps we can play this game with Kilemall after all!!

Building a Shunt Yard for Storing Multiple Trains in Railroads Online!

OMG this is like the stupidest track arrangement ever.

Do NOT build your yards this way! He’s blowing money in crazy pants fashion.

A derail is a safety item to make sure trains don’t go runaway and tear stuff up. It’s not your personal train terrorism item.

Wait, why? I didn’t watch it but he seems to be doing it relatively reasonably?

Ooof.

Ok, he’s got his log unloading at freight transfer station, plus storage tracks, plus locomotive servicing. But it’s not a proper yard.

Yards, contrary to popular conception, are properly speaking classification yards for sorting incoming cars into separate tracks for separate trains, and preferably in an efficient order for delivery/priority so a minimum of switching is required en route or at the destination/next sorting yard.

Engine servicing is usually associated with yards, either as end points such as this one or division points where locomotives are swapped out and/or fueled up to continue on.

So to begin, since this railroad has just log cars, source industry and destination point to point, he doesn’t need all those damn tracks to begin with. He may need them later, but only if he’s operating more car types then one, has more then one destination on his line, has interchange with an outside line, and/or gets more locomotives so he’s running one on the line while the other is working the yard/freight or logging camp job.

The freight station drives me crazy too, as he has that on a spur that dead ends and forces him to back it out on the mainline, then go through all sorts of crazy to get the locomotive turned around and leading the train back to the lumber source. Worse, pulling the cars out of the station fouls the mainline, which could interfere with other trains coming and going.

The proper way to do it is build a run around so the locomotive escapes and gets to servicing and turned around, then can come back and pull the train straight out of the freight house spur. The side load and end load docks should be here too.

Servicing facilities are crazy pants too. His turntable isn’t in a bad spot, but he has water and fuel all separate- you put all that on the little spur to the turntable. Turn it around, fuel and water, go. Same thing on the logging camp side.

OK. I guess I should have watched the video. I just saw the shunting yard and it looked fine for a shunting yard that has no hump an doesn’t need to fit into a rectangular area.

I suppose OT is blocking his twitter, but you can find him talking about it.

I guess he noticed when it started making money.
