#CSII
You know, I wish I had the mental capacity to be more involved in Urbanist spaces / Advocacy / Research but it's literally my job and ugh no

Can't even bring myself to play Cites: Skylines (RIP bozo to CSII 😭)

Just received a large delivery of shirts I ordered from Guild Loot! @bracerguild.bsky.social

I like the feel of the new shirts (90% cotton, 10% polyester, right) over the old (100% cotton, the left are also older prints); my favorite print shirts are typically 50% polyester, 25% cotton, 25% rayon.

Most of the industrial zoning we see in modern cities is light manufacturing or workshops, not petroleum refineries or massive assmebly lines. Something SimCity 4 really nailed was that education and affluence led to cleaner industrial bases. CSII misses that mark.

I felt like I was mostly passionately talking about DB today instead of playing CSII 🤣 I said some hot takes.

I am glad to pick DB/Z on the Year of the Dragon. Was sad about Toriyama. I had a shonen burnt out for a while so I am surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did. Yes I love the kids.

I will say this; I dig the OP theme for it. More so than CSII

Banger!

Coming from someone who started with Cold Steel 1, then the Crossbell games after finishing CSII at the start of this year, and now onto Reverie very soon, you can start at any arc you want, as they only drip-feed you the odd reference here & there without spoiling anything major beforehand

Yes! CSII still isn’t quite optimized sadly.

We're trying CSII again, and if it doesn't work, we'll shift to mucking about in FFXIV or something. Chill gaming, regardless.

I worked on both 2023 and 2024 editions of the Thomson Reuters Foundation toolkit series on AI governance for African contexts, and was astonished at how much tchanged in jus a year. (Thought sadly not in African frameworks).

Aside from the EU's AI Act, the biggest thing was in US state law.

Heute Abend wird getestet was CSII mit einer 4800XT macht.
GPU-Power braucht man jetzt wieder fürs Zocken, nicht nur fürs Crypto-Mining...

Just realized I can use a haphazard tier list to demonstrate my Trails play order rather than explaining it semi-frequently

In my defense, I started playing on PS4 and I couldn’t have started anywhere other than Cold Steel there, and don’t have a good PC for gaming.

I know I'm a hater but even folks who love CSII acknowledge how the last 10 hours are drywall.

Loved this - CSII has such unwavering faith in and admiration for the goodness in people and the ways that, no matter how adverse the conditions, how advanced the civilisation and how dramatic its fall... if we're kind to each other, survival can turn into living again

Some might say no, but I think it's an absolutely fine place to start. Especially if you go back to play the Sky Trilogy and the Crossbell Duology afterwards, because both of those get really really spoiled in CSIII (Crossbell does get spoiled at the end of CSII as well but to a lesser degree)

I have the feeling that cities skylines II might be my answer but it’s not for Mac! I have a “gaming laptop” that’s a PC that has the sims on it, and I’m sure I could install CSII on it, but let’s be real I’d never play it then.

Ohh lol. Shows how behind I am in the gaming world these days. I do miss the gaming chat, but my other channel takes up all of my time now. Gaming is just for relaxing. It seemed as if there wasn't as much of a CSII community. But maybe it's because I don't have a gaming account on Twitter anymore.

I think one of my bigger gripes with some of the maps I'm playing in CSII is that there's a lot more emphasis on motor transportation versus, like, trains

And my confusion of these two scenes just now explains why I always confused which game they debut in, because I get the scene conflated with Aurelia and Bardias’s which IS in CSII.

The way I found this was by being curious and seeing if Raccoon had been made in CS or CSII
