    The train mission on WoL was hard. Banshee mission was really hard until I got better at micro through MP and then beat it. The last mission was very hard until you used that research upgrade to charm 100 mutalisks. The mission to escort the big thor was really hard, but I don't remember if it...

    I really like this post. It's a good summary of the "be yourself" vs "play the game" argument. But it is not a dichotomy. As Famm said, your personality is, to a huge extent, learned. However, by adulthood it is largely static. That doesn't mean that new behaviors can't be learned, but it does...

    Can someone who actually sat through the abomination that was the cutscenes/story give a 1 paragraph summary?

    What was the point of texting her "hello?" It sounds passive aggressive. Maybe she's just not into you. You said yourself she had a lot to drink when you guys were fooling around. So that means nothing

    Overall the gameplay is pretty good. WoL was better, but I thought the gameplay in that was stellar. As usual the story is lame and not immersive whatsoever. You HAVE to play on brutal. It's just absurdly easy.

    I played 40 hours. Most of my play time was trying to figure out how to design a good city, with a balanced economy, good road design, etc. As most people, the fun was in the challenge. When I discovered it was all bullshit, because the optimal road design is a single curvy road, RCI demand is...

    I got pants because I was tired of scraping the shit out of my legs every time I deadlifted because the bars at my shitty gym have knurling that is ridiculously close to the center. Wow, not having to focus on keeping the bar as close as possible to my legs without touching really makes...

    Should having hour long play limits during the beta been a warning sign? It seemed like a very secret, restrictive beta compared to most other games. We saw the same thing with MMOs: the ones that turned out terrible are the ones that strictly limited information release and had short, limited...

    That video further reinforces the terribleness of this game. So then, so far we have (1)T intersections with L-shaped roads and (2)1 giant twisting avenue being the most efficient road systems...road designs that don't exist anywhere in real life. Plus his explanation of how people find jobs...

    I have a very successful "tourist" city. 1 casino, empire state building, 1 other business tourist building, airport, and pro stadium. The pro stadium almost sells out every time. Also, plopping a Vu tower is like a high-tech cheat code. I had an industrial area that just refused to upgrade...

    So do dumps just continuously get more and more full? I've added a recycling center and the 32 square miles of land that takes, and it doesn't seem to curb the growth. The longer I have a city the more preposterously large the dump is. What's the optimal way to deal with all the trash?

    I guess I'll be voice number eight thousand to repeat the "don't do that" line. "Quality" chicks want to get laid, too. Don't put them up on some pedestal. As others have said, there is a difference between not trying to get laid at all cost and not progressing anything. If you dig the girl, do...

    Weird. I tried that but it seemed to still not even come close. Now that city has just started tanking inexplicably. I was at a steady $4k+ an hour and then a couple high-rises caught fire and suddenly I'm neg $4k an hour long after the fires were taken care of. I have the same population so I...

    I'm 80% sure I actually did tear my right lateral meniscus very slightly. It improved tons in about 2 weeks, so when I was confident I could squat again I went to 90% right away which was dumb. It was fine for about a week then in a rushed workout I did 4 mins on bike instead of 5, and didn't...

    I don't understand how to get an oil refinery. I've got 2 dense oil fields going with maxed pumpjacks. 3 trade depots. But I can't get above 1/3 the petroleum sales requirement to upgrade the petroleum HQ. What am I doing wrong? Same applies for the metal HQ - can't sell enough shit to upgrade it.

    I appreciate the thought but I wasn't asking for advice. It's over. I don't know your field, but some of that also doesn't apply to clinical psych. My credentials were all excellent, and I still came really fucking close to failure. My mistake was not being perfect in absolutely everything...

    Is there an optimum park placement? If you do normal road spacing, putting a park in at the rear limits high-rises due to space problems. I've just been scattering low, med, and high $ parks throughout my residential areas, but have no idea how many I actually need or ideal placement.

    I took "I was driving" to mean "I didn't post the pic because I typed that boring story while driving." In my defense, my brain has evolved to skim past Etoille's posts because my quota of diamonds and husband and lawyer references is filled for life.
