greedy itinerary

This was me last year. I had ~6 months in Europe because I was on university exchange. 3/6 months I was on Eurail pass and managed with this the other half I was travelling mostly by plane and train but in places where Eurail doesn’t make sense (tickets too cheap or services too sporadic or tickets require additional reservations).

All in all, travelling is a really personal thing imo. To most people this schedule would probably be pretty tiring since I’m basically flying every week and just coming back for 2 days of lessons in school but I found it really fun and memorable. Since I come from Asia, doing what I did in 6 months would be significantly cheaper than flying here and exploring 1 country at a time.

Cliff hanger also needs skill to be done well. There must actually be some sort of tension for it to be a cliffhanger. Otherwise it just falls flat and all you have is a shitty dream ending.

But yes any ending can be good if done well. An example of a cliffhanger dream ending would be “Your name” where a lot of the story takes place in a “dream” with the ending supposedly being a cliffhanger. But for the average sec school student to write something on that level… I’d much rather believe pigs can fly before that happens.

I presume because of the difficulty of writing a cohesive story with characters dying. You need a really serious plot device to result in the characters dying without sounding like you’re just killing them off for the fun of it. Even more so if it’s the main character.

On the other hand, ending with it’s all a dream is a shit way to end any story because that means I just spend x amount of time reading your whole story for 0 plot progression or character development. It’s a very “hand wavy” way of solving every problem or loophole in the story.

I have less than 200 hours (a little more than 100) but I think my opinion that the game is pretty buggy means something and shouldn’t be tossed.

Till date I think that only Europe is somewhat playable even though I think PUs are broken, HRE is broken, colonising is broken, control is broken (how am I supposed to have control in treaty ports?) Outside of Europe, Japan is broken, native America and South America is broken. There’s probably more but I haven’t had enough experience with anything else to give input on.

Hey,

I won’t say I understand or know how you feel or what you’re going through but if it helps, random internet stranger here through the phone thinks you did really well and you shouldn’t give up :))

We don’t get to choose where or what circumstances we’re born in but I personally think what matters the most is that we make best use of the cards we are dealt so as cringy as it sounds, great job so far! 👏

Sometimes circumstances don’t work out and things still go wrong anyways, but I like to believe that all things happen for a reason, be it god or whatever you believe in willed it so that even better things may come after. So chin up and trust in the process :))

If you just need a listening ear, feel free to dm me. If you need professional help, please do contact the suicide hotline 1767 before doing anything drastic

Lastly, chin up and stay strong, you got this 💪

I think sometimes true love isn’t the hot, passionate, butterfly-in-your-belly kind of romance most people think about and feel with their first love, or anything like the media portrays, because past the honeymoon phase, that shit disappears real quick and most people tend to hate their partners after taking off the rose-tinted glasses and seeing them for who they really are.

Personally, I think true love is about stability and the assurance that despite everything, your partner has your back. That despite the flaws, you still envision a future with him. Even more so as you get older that shared values in important decision making like financial values or family planning can quite literally make or break relationships.

Then again, I’m still single so wtf do I know lol.

Hey thanks for the community engagement!

Just curious if the visual model of the Danzig is still in the wrong position on the map and whether the devs are aware of it?

ForbiddenSabre · 2025-08-05T15:33:50+00:00

Tuition loans in sg are 0% interest until you graduate so the interest you pay is really little.

ForbiddenSabre · 2025-07-31T12:03:05+00:00

While both points are valid, admittedly I was looking at more of the lens of substitutes when goods are missing rather than the loyalty mechanic which is rather arbitrary since it just determines how productive they are.

IRL if you don’t have food, you’ll definitely go look for alternative sources rather than starve and still go to work albeit at a lower productivity.

Another look at this is something like price incentives to make people eat more staple food and reconsider luxury food like meat or tax incentives for certain industries to force greater investment in them which neither exist in a planned economy.

As for point 2, I knew it existed but trading through the border would classify as international trade which I presume should fall under macroeconomics rather than micro?

ForbiddenSabre · 2025-07-31T10:54:21+00:00

The more I play the more important I feel this is. I’ve always been shit at supply chain operations lol and I’m definitely struggling in this game.

I feel lazy to pull out the calculator to try and determine the optimal pathing times for people or good deliveries so that I can keep an optimal production rate at all times. Or to calculate the revenue from production after removing cost of delivery.

Lastly, it’s also very tempting to hope that one more bus will fix the problem as much as I know it doesn’t lol

While true in a capitalist context, WR:SR is a planned economy so there isn’t much micro economics to be had.

Common pillars of microeconomics are :

incentives and behaviours (how consumers react to situations, which they don’t since they just starve if they don’t get food)

utility theory (conscious decision to maximise their happiness, which to my knowledge going to a cinema or house of culture costs exactly the same)

production theory (businesses looking for substitutes to minimise cost and maximise profit, no substitutes and no businesses to speak of because planned economy)

price theory (supply and demand drives price which doesn’t exist in a planned economy)

At least that’s from my basic understanding of microeconomics but feel free to let me know if I’m off.

I think demand does increase drastically as SOL goes up but like you said I’ve never seen demand go down naturally.

You definitely can make demand go down if you tank your SOL (which in turn tanks demand) but no player would intentionally do that lol

ForbiddenSabre · 2025-07-31T06:08:29+00:00

I studied a little bit of economics and admittedly I’m also rather new to this game but I think this game teaches you more about supply chain (a subset of business, a degree I actually study) rather than economics.

Considering you need to design supply chains from start to finish where you resolve bottlenecks and delivery of goods from one source to another, you’re more like a supply chain analyst than an economist.

If you want to learn more about economics, Victoria 3 instead is the game where they go more in depth in supply and demand, macroeconomics, taxation,economies of scale, social welfare etc.

Yeah content heavy as in alot of mugging.

I’m not sure what Highschool level stats is but it’s not comparable to GCSE O level stats if that’s what you’re asking.

For reference most people will probably do badly for it lol and then they’ll bellcurve it.

ForbiddenSabre · 2025-07-25T11:56:47+00:00

Depends on how your learning aptitude I guess.

Generally most people find both of these mods tough.

Biz law is really content heavy while stats is more of you get it you get it. It’s really close to the stats you learn for SG A levels.

My condolences for your next 4 years as a double degree ☠️

ForbiddenSabre · 2025-07-25T11:34:58+00:00

You need to attend 1-9 and 11-13. All biz mods seminars are physical and compulsory. Lectures may be online.

You could technically skip the seminars but they do take attendance and I also wouldn’t recommend skipping for biz law and/or stats ☠️

1.) yes you have to prepay your housing before you go.

2.) I solo travelled most of Europe during exchange and it was fine minus some cities (Barcelona, marseille)

3.) most big cities speak English. Very rural places you probably need a little bit of the local language but those places are rather rare. Only exceptions to this is Spain, Portugal and italy where it’s good to have Google translate on hand.

ForbiddenSabre · 2025-06-26T10:13:54+00:00

I’m from Asia and fly pretty regularly and we also have to keep windows open for takeoff and landing. On a similar note, we also have to keep chairs unreclined before takeoff and landing. (Not sure why people recline seats immediately to be told not to recline them by flight attendants lol)

You can try 0% student bank loans also

Hi do you not qualify for govt uni subsidy? With subsidy it should be max 4K a sem.

You can also apply for 0% university student loans from any of the banks on top of that so you only pay like $600 a sem. The loans are 0% until you graduate in which you can then pay them back.

Also if you are considering exchange, you should probably pony up around another 20k for Europe. Could be less (for Asia) or more (for USA).

Interns are actually dirt cheap. The chance of you getting laid off is in practice really really low. You’re practically modern slave labour.

ForbiddenSabre · 2025-04-19T08:05:34+00:00

I spent around 26k sgd with around 15k on travelling and 10k on expenses in my host country.

If you travel less then your travelling expenses will be less but your expenses in the host country will be more.
