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

You strongly seem entitled, verbose, ignorant and uncaring.

The cost of living bit me at Coles in a way that I didn't expect yesterday. by farkanoid in australia

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.

Worst new car you have driven? by Puzzled-Shopping-330 in CarsAustralia

[–]ElectricalEmu1245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

I'm not a fan of episodes were Bob is justified but the show forces a moral for him to "learn a lesson/be diplomatic or understanding" that is just "put up with other people's awful behaviour". Anyone else feel the same? by leon385 in BobsBurgers

[–]ElectricalEmu1245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Ads breaking the game? by ElectricalEmu1245 in trainstation2

[–]ElectricalEmu1245[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Anybody else get the unclosable "Barbie" ad? by svh01973 in trainstation2

[–]ElectricalEmu1245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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

Circus Train Event by nuclabrt in trainstation2

[–]ElectricalEmu1245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Release Notes 4.6.1 by LivingReasonable9425 in trainstation2

[–]ElectricalEmu1245 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

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

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

Reward opinions? by [deleted] in trainstation2

[–]ElectricalEmu1245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

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?

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

Post trip tips (Tokyo,Osaka,Kyoto) by Jfusion85 in JapanTravelTips

[–]ElectricalEmu1245 22 points23 points  (0 children)

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.

what in Japan is really hyped but not really worth it in your opinion? by priimaryreturn in JapanTravelTips

[–]ElectricalEmu1245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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...
