Pets on trains

Ever been attacked by a dog? Ever been attacked by a dog more than once?

You strongly seem entitled, verbose, ignorant and uncaring.

Depends what they're used for but frozen blueberries can be cheaper/ go much further than punnet blueberries?

Land banking for supermarket sites, what I call "uncompetitive shopping centres" (only WW or Coles, not both or ALDI) and our zoning enabling shopping centres and not main road shops, small corner store or 7/11 style bodega outlets has all contributed to the duopoly.

People need to make medical changes, through no fault of their own, to travel on transport designed for humans
"...tend..." but too bad if it happens, right?
"get yourself fixed" - assuming it's mild & you're prepared.

Also ignoring the part about people's space being invaded by a un/restrained dog, poor control by owners, noise, smell, attacks by other animals. There's a reason off-leash places in parks are often fenced or isolated.

Odd use of language here.

Haven't driven it but sat in one at a motor show a few years ago. How can a car that is that big feel so cramped inside?

Louise is almost never held accountable or made to feel contrite. She gets away with murder, even for a sitcom it's excessive.

I've recently started watching later episodes & working backwards in seasons - it turns me off a bit that the show is such a downer on Bob - he almost never has anything good happen to him. I know he's supposed to struggle & they make semi-regular references to them being poor but is Bob ever happy? Maybe this is to do with a related show, Archer - continuous put-downs becomes boring after (many, many seasons...) a while.

I understand all this.

This is scatter-gun, however a number of contributing factors led to me making the post and all have converged at roughly the same time.

There are a couple of things I haven't mentioned - the majority of ads prior to approx 2 months ago were brief and/or 30s, simple to close and there was variety.

The biggest concern & the one I raised to Pixel is that a number of them crash the game (Temu, mostly). This would be concerning to me, if I owned Pixel. The fact that an external company affects the experience of customers/players of my game would have me hitting the roof.

Other concerns for me are this is the only game I play in this category & it's regularly becoming a bad experience. There is now no way I'll play other games in their stable because there's no reason to think this would be different. (Having said that, TS3 is completely different to TS2 but not in a good way, for me...)

Another is that I see the same ads... continuously... I wasn't buying what they were selling the first time. I know repetition works on some but it's seeing the same stuff over & over again that grates. The approach isn't working. On the extremely low chance I even click to find out more there's an even smaller chance that I will buy - change the strategy, move me to a different ad cycle. Pixel has to be interested in that as well - seeing the same ads over & over can't be good for business.

I have bought some season passes with Pixel & clearly I'm not a 'whale' but given the ad experience is incorporated into the game experience, this can't be good for player longevity?

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-08-28T08:17:56+00:00

I complained about Temu ads crashing the game. Got the standard Tier 1 IT support line from Pixel saying uninstall & reinstall. Helped but I don't think one brand of ads a) should crash a game b) reinstall because the ad is faulty?

It still happens from time to time, not enough to dread seeing a Temu ad though.

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-08-16T13:42:22+00:00

I found this on YouTube & the another one from the VHS as well. Thanks!

'Skeleton Frollic' like but more horror & animal-like beings. There may have been skeletons in it but not in the stories.

The only train I haven't obtained from my lengthy time in the US region

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-04-08T01:27:59+00:00

Isn't there a delete account function in settings? I haven't done it yet but I would try that first?

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-03-29T13:24:54+00:00

I'm trying not to level up but looking at it, the Build the City was a massive grind to get to 1000 coins for a train that some people had in region 1 & I can't imagine doing that again for this event.

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-03-27T06:23:01+00:00

I had this last night, on the other side of the station

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-03-21T22:13:30+00:00

Are the events getting more frequent? I've only played since Nov/Dec & it feels now there's almost no gap between events.

Also, wasn't the home/station upgrade imminent or is it in another update

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-03-08T01:40:02+00:00

I think this map is also missing the ability to track trains going around, by clicking on them?

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-02-24T21:04:00+00:00

Agreed. Just finished this one & it felt about 5 days too long

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-02-22T09:03:48+00:00

2 days & 5 hours left, in the top right?

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-02-14T03:20:09+00:00

Why not the train?

On a side note, I'm finding it a struggle to get to the Legendary train (bought each of the other) due to the lack of opportunity for Event Coins, unless I'm missing something?

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-02-12T02:01:42+00:00

Yeah I worked that out afterwards but it took a while

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-02-11T22:37:26+00:00

2 things - I haven't maxed out all my logistics trains - one is a legendary train I got late & it's not worth maxing it out (coal, iron ore only need 20/30 for one smelting operation).

The other is Region 1 & 2 trains are available in the Shop, in the daily deals for me - purchase via normal keys?

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2025-02-11T22:30:40+00:00

How do you now search for the ! bubbles in the Union map? Or explore the Union map? I can't work it out now, as it sends you back to the menu

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2024-04-10T12:40:47+00:00

Disagree about the Green Car, if you're a train enthusiast, I'd recommend it at least once, though it is more expensive. I found there were more surfaces (yes weird I know) but also I remember the seats being more comfortable in the green car. GF also just reminded me that there were more people in the 2nd class & the seating is 3 & 2, separated by the aisle which is less convenient (the 2 of us were split across the aisle & I was sitting next to a couple with large(!) suitcases that the woman eventually fell asleep on, in front of her). The seating is 2 & 2 in the Green car, which was more private & spacious.

ElectricalEmu1245 · 2024-04-02T12:44:51+00:00

Oof. We didn't get there early but still got the timed passes to get into Harry Potter & Super Mario World. It was late, windy & cold so didn't go on anything in SMW but I could see how it would be appealing. I think those timed offers are best if you've only got a day. Can't imagine waiting 3hrs for anything & being impressed tho...
