    Cities: Skylines

    You're right, it is pretty much just traffic, but traffic effects other things like trash collection, which effects landfill placement, which effects where you want to zone. Maybe the simulation could be deeper, sure, but I think I'd rather have one really hard, but solvable problems to solve...

    Cities: Skylines

    I love how this game gives you all sorts of little puzzles to solve as you expand your city. BTW make sure to take advantage of the fact that your metro tunnels have two lanes and can make a second line that travels in the opposite direction.

    Titanfall

    Armored Core was definitely a sweet game but that would be very very different. I honestly think the anti-titan infantry guns needed a little bit of a buff. Hopefully in Titanfall 2, titans will actually be able to alter the terrain like knock down smaller buildings and things like that...

    Titanfall

    Well, the point of titans is that the team that's doing better gets to drop their titans more frequently, pushing the game in their favor, but the other side could counter that advantage if they had better titan pilots and then push the game the other way. It also just breaks the match up...

    Cities: Skylines

    That's my best attempt at a 44k densely packed city so far. I think I sorta 'solved' traffic. If you just watch the traffic on a road and the traffic is really only going in one direction anyway, switch it to a 1-way road. Trying to actually plan everything out ahead of time doesn't seem to...

    Cities: Skylines

    If it's not producing 64+ it's not worth building a hydro dam. It will fluctuate to 0 too often based on the tides.

    Cities: Skylines

    I certainly would enjoy this game having online features and city-to-city trading. What I like about this game is that it's hard but not too hard, and very well paced for a simulation.

    Titanfall

    Titans were mostly to counter other Titans, they really weren't designed to be good against pilots.

    Titanfall

    Titans were badass. When they had pilot hunter mode 8v8 with no bots and no titans it made for a pretty boring game.

    Make that 279 and 40 dollars off whatever motherboard you buy with it.

    Titanfall

    A good single player campaign that actually fleshed out the universe is a must I think.

    I feel like if you can snag a 4790k for 299, it's worth it, but it's not worth it at 339. EDIT: It's on sale for 279 if you live near a Microcenter.

    Any 1.5 volt pairs of DDR3 sticks and 1600mhz+ will do basically the same as any others. XMP support is good so you don't have to futz with the timings yourself.

    What classes from all other MMOs would you bring back into a new Game?

    Warden? Really? That had to be one of the most boring classes to play in the history of MMOs. DAoC had some extremely good class design but Warden wasn't one of them.

    Finding Z97 boards with VT-d support is hard. The ASRock Z97 Extreme6 definitely does have it, I had to research it for a build I did for someone.

    VT-d allows the virtual machines to have direct access to the NIC and GPU, or something.

    Offices are industrial. They just don't produce domestic goods.

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    Yeah I'm in RES in Chambo and there's a pretty good variety of shit to shoot at. EDIT: Very good variety actually. And there's fed police anacondas helping me. :P

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    Does it populate space with things that are worth shooting at?

    An i3? What. No. If you're doing virtualization and development you probably want the full boat of features a VT-D supporting motherboard provides, and an 4790k. (4770ks didn't support VT-D but 4790ks do.)

    Give me more podcasts to listen to. Preferably more ones with erudite jews talking at a soothing pace about things that make me feel like a deep, socially conscious intellectual.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Well, that part is definitely true of many neuropsych meds. We still have no very good theory of why lithium works as a mood stabilizer. (Relevant because SJWs are bipolar nutjobs.)
