  • Quite good. Sans any real spoilers:

    Space is a lot more accessible in the early game, and in space ~~no one can hear you scream ~~ there’s a lot more complications than normal, including really turning factory planning and scaling on its head on one planet.

    Really mixed it up, much more than the SE mod did (which was good, but just felt like scaling more than unique challenges)



  • Ah that’s so cool! I’ve been to 9 races (not Vegas though, but maybe someday!). Advice really varies per circuit but the big things are:

    –Find out how you’re getting to/from the circuit. Vegas has great options for staying close enough to not need a bus or a car. Often one of the hardest parts of the weekend.

    –wear comfy shoes and clothes, especially during FP you have a lot of opportunities to walk around. I’d take a lap of the outer perimeter of the circuit for sure

    –food, merch is all very expensive typically

    –ear protection

    –learn who has a black vs yellow t cam, sometimes it’s harder to tell what’s going on and commentary varies a lot per circuit. My rule for this is the “main” driver on a team has the black T cam except for Lando and Lewis, but the quotes around main are doing some heavy lifting

    Have fun! Take pics, be safe.




  • Yeah, a truck would make me feel better. It’s definitely a risk to move it myself uninsured. For comparison, looks like post tax prices delivered of ~14-18% more in Denmark than the US where we are.

    That’s a fair bit, but I’m not sure we’re in the market to try this hard to save a few hundred dollars in such a massive move. I lean towards selling, especially once we packed a big suitcase and it went VERY quick with stuff we love lol










  • Hi, someone from Asheville checking in. Absolutely devastating here, much like Erwin up the road.

    Biltmore village

    River arts district

    I’ve never been in a hurricane before this but it was absolutely insane. We’re so far inland, and so typically climate insulated. No one expected nearly this and it quickly overwhelmed everything we have. Just got soke cell back, I’ve heard potentially weeks for power for some and same on water.





  • So I’m ~5 hours into the story so far. I was super worried it’d be a bad followup to the first game, which I loved.

    It’s pretty different, without getting into any spoilers, but I’m really enjoying it at this point. It’s well done, the atmosphere and decisions are on point, and the micro management seems lesser.

    A few UI complaints, I found a tiny bug, but all in all it seems like a good and long single player immersive story city builder. Exactly what I want from the series.

    I’d give it a preliminary 8.5/10 because I’m biased and love the first one.
