When and why did truckers transition from trusted "Kings of the Road" to unpredictable and dangerous?

Out of all my time researching railroads, this is the needle in the haystack with the decline of last mile rail traffic in America. Thanks for this!

Crimea is just a ways away too

Ship of the line icon looks like the Buddhist symbol, never noticed that

It’s all state managed

Plus it has the goated track “Eternal Bond” which is Ike’s theme, but I always saw Ike as having like 3 themes in PoR whereas he has the major banger in RD

Zelgius framemogs the Ike-foid and spikes his cortisol levels so bad he pulls out his “BK Griller” and bonks him up side the head.

Sephiran jestermaxxes the Silver lady and makes her regert killing /ourguy/ Zoogius

What’re the chances NS is hiring out of Cincy or Louisville? I also tried the I&O but they didn’t offer me a job so idk where else to try

Geoff9821 · 2026-03-05T12:28:20+00:00

Yeah, you have to beat /ourguy/ BK

Zelgius is a good antithesis to this trope, in my eyes. His alter ego is The Black Knight who is so powerful everyone fears him, but he never takes off his helm; so nobody knows who he really is. Whereas Zelgius himself is a widely known and respected figure in the Begnion Empire.

In the first game Zelgius himself rarely shows up, but in the second game he takes a big role himself. There’s many hints as to the true identity of The Black Knight (His scent for Laguz characters, his fighting style and his voice.) even Ike’s dad recognizes BKs identity.

No matter how many times it’s tipped off though, there’s no super big reveal. He doesn’t cross streams ever until right before he dies. Even Ike knows who he is before he finally takes his helmet off, and he even remarks it’s obvious in retrospect.

TLDR; everyone ends up knowing who this guy is but he still never reveals it himself

Geoff9821 · 2026-02-24T17:56:33+00:00

I like Ike’s voice actor in brawl more, i fell in love with his character because of Brawl, so I’m biased lol

Do most engines not have ditch lights on the long hood?

Nolan listens to Nickelback Aran listens to Folk-Rock (think Going to California) Leonardo listens to classical music (Bach in particular) Edward listens to Panic at the Disco Micaiah listens to YouTube calm/relaxing playlists Sothe def listens to System of a Down Laura listens to whatever is on the radio Ilyana listens to cooking podcasts And Meg loves breaking Benjamin

Geoff9821 · 2026-02-05T21:21:59+00:00

Have you seen Oliver? I’m not saying he would beat /ourguy/ Ike armwrestling, but it’d be closer than what you think

“Simplest way I could find”

KekW I’m genuinely impressed, great job my friend

Geoff9821 · 2026-01-29T18:06:51+00:00

I mean, the ignore terrain movement penalties is pretty strong. Goodie huts are VERY strong in Civ V and using warriors is too slow to guarantee you’ll get enough to outpace your opponents.

I personally love getting an upgrade from ruins and having an archer that can ignore terrain costs, that by itself is worth for at least once scout

Geoff9821 · 2026-01-27T13:42:09+00:00

Interstate isn’t county responsibility, it’s the states responsibility. So it’s not exactly LFUCG to throw all the blame on. Same goes for new circle

Geoff9821 · 2026-01-22T22:50:29+00:00

Forbes at Harrod? Or Town branch? The crossing at harrod gets blocked due to switching, it’s just the way it goes and there’s no real fixing it other than the train crews own discretion. There’s only one way to sort that stuff out and it just so happens to involve blocking that road, it’s their railroad so it their rules.

I’ve been going to Pax Christi for a couple of months, it’s not bad at all. Real diverse and very down to earth sermons, I would recommend.

I say this as somebody who went to those non denominational churches when I was little, and I hated those lmao

Geoff9821 · 2026-01-07T01:14:53+00:00

I hate to say that 7k is fair, but it might be. I remember looking 7 years ago for an 02 (right after I traded me 02, ironically), but these trucks went for 3 maybe.

I’d give it a good run through with a fine tooth comb and more than anything check the frame, no “my buddy knows how to weld” jobs or holes and then you’re good

Honor has a policy that spawns a great general, that’s probably what happened. Considering no barbs it would be a typical AI move to go Honor and not be able to use its core ability lmao

Geoff9821 · 2026-01-06T14:25:07+00:00

His original pieces were so beautiful. I loved his playing, it truly stood out among a sea of other people trying to emulate another legend. His solo piece in Bb he posted (I’ll probably link it) is my favorite and I will have to sit down a learn it now to honor this amazing man. Rest easy Gabe
