Ooops

when you're deleting a couple of large windmills on your giant windmill park to make room for the nuclear plant. make sure to be in the windmill park editing mode and don't answer yes when your whole park is lit up yellow.... takes a while for the nuclear to gear up :p

my mines and smelter don't make any money without power :p so much easier when you have neighbours to buy utilities from :)

Happened to me couple of times as well, trying to delete some extensions and ending up demolishing an entire freight terminal and windfarm plant.

Any of you installed the VU-Tower from the Heroes and Villains set? Is it worth it from tourism etc point of view, or will crime skyrocket in the city?

Been playing straight for 4 hours now, don't know what happened there but the game really sucks you in...

Welcome to the Club!

Cheers!

haha

I'm now trying to cure my Starcraft II addiction with this game. It seems to be working coz I haven't logged on to battle.net since the release. However, I don't know how much longer I can hold on to it with HOTS being released in literally several hours!

Any idea what the free games will be?

If the choices are good, I'll buy SimCity (which is overpriced) since I'd be getting two games for the price of one.

Should have bought the game from the Indian store, before it was pulled off of it (due too many non-Indians buying the game from there). Would have saved 30 bucks and get a free game, too. Not that I'm saying the game (simcity 5) is bad, but 60 is a bit too much for it in current state. And no, no one knows which games are going to be given to the simcity owners yet. Hopefully, it will be something good.

At some point you have to start burning it.

I was burning and thought I just didn't have enough trucks so I deleted that one and created 3 new dumps all maxed out with garbage trucks but they all come back to the garage at 2:30 each day. Still red on pickup and can't figure it out. They haven't said anything about the dumps being at capacity.

My city was at 250,000 but has dropped to 230,000 now.

I think there might still be bugs with regional buildings (my trade markets occasionally just stopped and I wasn't entirely sure why) but in the meantime if you see a queue entering and leaving your city it might be good to stop volunteering as much to other cities (especially if you've only got one road coming in.)

I haven't used it yet. Maxisman I have put down in most of my cities because he helps with crime, hospitals and fires. I am worried about the VU tower crime. I might try him in my oil, and mining town. LEss population due to crime would mean less traffic and faster sell times for my delivery trucks.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      1. Define "better". 2. It's still more expensive than equivalent PCs so... And there is not one Windows platform. This is the mistake ALL Apple oriented people make. Apple is one OEM. You could reasonably compare them to one PC OEM, say Dell or HP. But you can't compare them to ALL PC OEMs. Case in point, Apple has NO touch screen MacBooks. No tablet Macs. There are no rugged Macs. The variety of PC OEM design is insane. With Apple, you have... Apple. The problem is that you're starting with Apple as the definition of "good" then filtering out anything that isn't close to an existing Apple product, then trying to homogenise all of those left into a fictional product line and then ignore any innovations to create a minimal feature subset so you can say "See! Apple better!" PS: I was an Apple dev for 17 years and helped develop MacInTalk and disability solutions for Apple - and I have several Mac and MacBooks - so tread very carefully.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been making major changes in its gaming wing Xbox for a few months now, including the appointment of a new CEO, a large number of leadership changes, and strategy shifts. However, the company is seemingly also looking at initiating a major layoffs wave at Xbox and perhaps even a studio closure. The new report lands from Kotaku, Xbox first-party developer Compulsion Games is being shuttered soon by Microsoft. For those unfamiliar with the studio, it's the team behind Contrast (2013), We Happy Few (2018), and South of Midnight (2025). Its latest game was quite well received, even winning a Peabody Award for its writing. It even received a 9/10 in Neowin's own review, highlighting its engaging storyline, gorgeous world, and curious characters. The studio joined Xbox Game Studios in 2018, just as Microsoft announced it is acquiring Playground Games, Undead Labs, and Ninja Theory. Despite recent listings for new staff roles, according to the new report, Compulsion Games is being closed entirely, with over 90 staff being let go. Kotaku also added that the studio's leadership is in negotiations with Microsoft about this decision, but no official details have been revealed yet. The report lands just as two senior managers of Xbox leave their posts at Microsoft Gaming. Head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan and chief of staff Louise O'Connor originally began their journey in Rare and have been a part of Xbox for over two decades. Dunkan has been responsible for games like Kinect Sports and Sea of Thieves, while O'Connor was primarily working on Rare's Everwild project before its cancelation. If this report about the studio shutdown is accurate, this may just be the start of a major new layoffs wave at Xbox Game Studios. There are also rumors of Arkane Studios being heavily affected. As always, take all these reports with a grain of salt until something official materializes from Microsoft or the studios.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.
