infrequent poster hereis there any room on this board for a city builder vidya general?there's a general on /vg/ that includes city builder games but it also includes a few other genres so city building is rarely talked abouti just wanted to get the opinions of my fre/n/s on this topicpic related is cities skylines 2, btw
The genre died 5evr with the death of Maxis. It's the same reason The Sims 4 was terrible and killed the franchise.Workers and resources looks very cool but I haven't played ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSv37HwwojU
>>2053285Baloney. Simcity 4 lets you build a whole region of cities
>>2053239>>2053207Only Tropico, like another anon said, lets you really stay away from roads if you want. You can place buildings without roads and people will walk to them. You can also build custom parks that act like plazas or pedestrian only streets, but it's not really a game mechanic.Here is an example from when I played.

>>2053285>>2053367SC3K and SC4 are two sides of the same coin. 3K is the version that's a lot cleaner and more cohesive; it's funny and looks good and you can play a city indefinitely without any fucky shit ruining things. Once you play through a few big cities it gets to get a little samey thoughSC4 plays very similar but they pushed it so much harder. It's a lot more broken and messy, like it never ran well on any computer I had for at least a decade and crashed a lot (solved now but still.) It also has some problems with the simulation which will cause your city to melt down for no apparent reason, but you can fix that with patches now. Still maddening when it came out. There's just so much more variety than in 3K though, especially with the mods, but even without any. Very vibey game that you can come back to like crazy.Unless we can get a decent openSimCity, it looks like SC4 will never be topped. We can have tycoon/sim games with ridiculously huge limits and mechanics now, but of course they all just went for eye candy. Skylines etc. just seems like a toy compared to this game that's decades old
The newest development after gravel bikes with suspension forks: Gravel bikes with suspension forks and flat bars. I simply have to have one!

Cyclists of /n/, do you wear a lot of loud obnoxious advertising logos on yourself when you ride?
>>2051742Nah, helmet is the only thing with a logo and it's kind of cryptic.
>>2053800Yes I own one of these 2017 expert
>>2051742My bike is from Walmart and all my clothes are from thrift stores
WHat are some long dedicated cycling trousers that I can beat up and wash a ton, but wear casually in the city? I only really bike around in town, but am sick of getting holes in the thighs (from saddle friction) and chain smears on my actual good chinos and trousers.
>>2054175Wax your chain and get a leather saddle
Folding bikes seamlessly tie in with all transportation modes as they are specifically designed to be compact, stowable and therefore easily TRANSPORTABLE. Easily carried onto trains, planes, buses, trams and other automobiles.There've been many attempts to create the perfect folder, some designs have come very close and have remained in production for decades. The world of folders spans incredible genius tier feats of engineering to terrible examples of dangerously ill conceived death trap folly.Post yours here, or post examples that may be of interest for their engineering genius, aesthetic charm or worthiness of ridicule.
>>2053977>Bike Friday>foldable cargo bikeThat's so dumb.I need one right now.
do mini velos count?
>>2054116I'd say not. They're small and compact, but they are otherwise no different from other bikes. There's one possible exception, Moultons that don't fold but do split into two halves, which has the same effect.
>>2053973>KEEP THE TUBEwhats so great about the seatpost?
>>2054176It's very tall and needs to bump into the fender for the bike to fold correctly.
We are the most walkable city in the USAWe have pretty good public transit for the USABUT something sad is when I go to cities like SF and El Paso and Dallas among others I see old Philadelphia trolley cars. Yes, it's well know Philadelphia's trolley cars are world famous and we sold many of them off to other cities when we dismantled some lines. I've seen them in person in these cities. It just makes me sad but also a bit proud my transit history is all over the country I guess.I just want people to know that. That yes... Philadelphia trolleys are everywhere. It's a bitter sweet momentOh by the way... you didn't think pic related was Philly did you? Nope... that's El Paso with a Philadelphia street car. Imagine how that feels for Philadelphians.
>>2054072Didn’t post pic
>>2054073>two conduits>one of them just changes position relative to the tracks
>>2053904the sad thing is TSA checks on Transit would kill ridership. You are already at a disadvantage time wise compared to the car, TSA checks would kill the need to ride transit except for the most elderly fucks that can't drive anymore. IMO the main issue is that the USA needs to start putting down physically violent criminals like it was done in Europe and still in the middle east to get rid of the public safety problem
>>2054153The main problem with that is morality in the West at the moment is fucked up right now. Nobody knows what evil is and thinks evil is good. i.e. Adultery and sexual immoralityAt this point let's just hope anti humanist hack Russian and American Silos and start armageddon just let the human race die already
>>2054153Post 9/11 in NYC they were doing bag checks at subway turnstiles for a while, just picking out random people and doing a cursory peek through your backpack—security theater. It did feel better though to have cops at every station and on the trains, not about terrorists who could never really be deterred, but for ordinary crime. Mass transit, packs of youths and mumbling schizos giving off an aura of menace can’t coexist.
GPS used to be fancy, and is now affordableCarbon frames used to be fancy, and are now affordableCarbon aero wheels used to be fancy, and are now affordableHydraulic brakes used to be fancy, and are now affordableWireless shifting used to be fancy, and is now affordableGood tires used to not even exist, and are now available albeit a little expensiveLighting used to be heavy and annoying, now it clips to anything and you can light up the road with something the size of your thumbWide range cassettes used to be unimaginable, now some lazy people are even going 1x because they got filtered by 2x It seems like it's all been done. Seriously, what's left. What else is there to improve? We even got bonuses like thru-axle, 3d printed saddles, internal routed everything, and aero frames/cockpits, which let's be honest, you weren't really expecting were you?Can the cycling industry outdo itself or is it now a plateau of stagnation?

>>2053210I'm amazed at how shitty the Lisbon funiculars look. I watched videos of them before the accident happened and they seemed like they hadn't been maintained for 50 years mechanically or visually. Constant creaking, shaky ride, very slow movement. I'm amazed a failure didn't happen earlier.
>>2054110that's Iberian infrastructure for you
>>2053210it's a rollercoaster that actually goes somewhere
>>2053210So why did it crash? Just because the cable broke? But I heard it had other things to brake.

>Ctrl + F>No grassy tram threadWe can fix that.
Warsaw trams have sedum planted instead of grass, does this count?
This line (43 in Łódź) was going from the city to small town Lutomiersk (18km from city centre) and it had a lot of greenery on the route. I miss that route.
>>2052048I want to say no, but I'd really need more pics of the sedum tram in order to have a strong opinion.
>>2052048I sure like Warsaw. Great city, great trams, great metro.
Tram 1 to Delft on the Scheveningseweg, on King's Day hence the flags
What would your dream transportation job be? Any time period, any place. For me, it would be running steam locomotives on the ATSF from the late 1930s to the end of steam. A close second would be an airline captain in the 1950s and 60s to experience the beginning of the jet age.

>>2053197i want to get a job as a bicycle delivery man
>>2054145Do you do Uber or Doordash or whatever? It's pretty easy to just get the app and start making deliveries on your bike right away. It's a pretty shit way of making money and 70% of the time you'll be sitting around waiting for orders but it's a good way to get your toes wet if that's really what you want to do. They have no requirements other than you making sure you know what local road laws are. I've done it with nothing but a single speed shit bike and a thermal bag over my shoulder to carry things in

I am a railway fan from Moscow. In my free time, I make videos of trains, subways, and transportation. Ask questions about my activities, and the transport of my country, stereotypes, in general, everything that is interesting, I will try to answer.

Post road network gore.
>>2044449Needs more lanes
Look at this beauty, a highway that goes under roads that go under roads that go under rail. I almost creamed my pants when I saw this on google maps the other day, I am going to go look at its glory IRL when I visit Chicago this month.
Sometimes, I prefer the wide roadways over the useless "public space" that's just vacant lawn or paving or something, which have no real use apart from (by implication) people sitting there or something.
>>2054108what, you dont want to pay for Jose to clip the grass at the designated homeless campsite rather than have a wider road to drive on? you don't even know about third spaces where ill finally make friends by walking around.
>>2054108Unless it's specifically designated as a park or somesuch, most of these "public spaces" are just mothballed for future development. In Waco they tore down some commercial development the university owned (a few restaurants, a hybrid strip mall/apartment complex, and a motel) for "public space" then developed a huge new building on it a decade or so later.
