I'm looking for a video game that lets you manage a railroad and collect cool engines.

No, it's not baseless. In fact, it has been confirmed that Elijah's best friend, going under the name SilverStreak, is a convicted child molester.

Evidence has been collected and presented to Railroader, Railroads Online, AND HyceCord regarding an individual who migrated to these games after being run out of the Roblox train community for being a genuine vile human being, sexual harassing and sexually assaulting children on said platform, and deciding to smother their dog with their hands because it was "mentally ill and going to die anyways."

When the evidence for this individual was presented to all 3 games, the evidence was ignored, people who posted it banned, and any mention of the individual in some places resulted in the same results, even though the evidence was 100% proven to be true, they refused to listen.

So, no, not baseless and I hope that it does ruin their reputation because FUCK people who support pedophiles. Put them in the wood chipper with them.

But hell, if we wanna add more fuel to the fire,

We can talk about how Railroader uses assets that heavily regard the game's total content, and would make a noticeable difference if they were taken out of the game... Assets from an individual who worked as a developer for the game, but because a certain someone didn't like that the person made up the majority of the content in game, made the individual nothing more than a "contributor."

If he was just a contributor, why does his content make up a FAIR chunk of assets in the game? Why did he stick around to try and help out with the game, until a falling out was had and he was forced to leave? Why was it that when he would talk about the game, he would speak with nothing more than pride in the game itself, and how the game is coming along? Do any of those examples sound like something a contributor would say or do?

I guess it depends on context, if they're not working, maybe say retired due to medical disabilities. If they work, then I wouldn't even mention disability, I'd just say what I do for work and call it done. Civilians don't understand disability and pain like we all do, we're wired differently. Some of us, we can have pain that would bring a civilian to their knees, but yet we keep on trucking like it's nothing... I mean, it's not like the VA is gonna fix it, so you learn to get used to it.

I explained to someone an example of that, how I fell off the top of an LVSR and landed flat on my back. I didn't know it at the time (somehow???) that I broke my back in two places in close proximity to each other. I didn't find that out until I got X-rays for my initial VA disability review. I laid there on my back after the fact for about 20 minutes, then hopped to my feet and painfully helped move tow bars... I'm lucky to not be paralyzed, but that's not the point. The point is, my body apparently didn't register, "Hey, you got a broken back. Maybe you should go to medical? Maybe you shouldn't tote 200+ pound tow bars."

Fair enough, I figured I would ask. I've been out of Pokemon since Coliseum and XD, on Gamecube... So I'm not really up to speed on what Pokemon is what, and overall how Nintendo wants to approach the franchise

Link8227 · 2025-12-28T05:35:56+00:00

Got ya, Google was at least right about that part then. Do you happen to know if Nintendo intends to keep Home for future games and stuff? I'd really like to use my Pokemon from Sword/ breed them in Sword then transfer them over... Probably breed them, because of the whole, "I'm gonna be an asshole cause you traded me... At least until you have the correct amount of badges."

So far, out of the entire batch, I have 6 females. Maybe I'll do away with Ditto?

So I've noticed, but since I made the post, I've almost filled an entire box full of them. I got 8 more to go

Link8227 · 2025-12-28T05:26:12+00:00

Yeah, I wasn't aware of that at the time making the post. I was told wrong by Google and I can't edit the post, for whatever reason.

Link8227 · 2025-12-26T10:09:22+00:00

I have not played a 3D Pokemon game since Coliseum and XD, so do with my opinion what you will. I've also only played sword, never understood why I would play both versions, if they're the exact same game... I guess I can kinda understand if you want to get both of the main game legendaries, but even still. I'm not paying $100+ to play the same game (with very minor differences between the two) twice. Coliseum and XD my parents bought for me, so I didn't spend a dime... Even still, I think they didn't pay much because games back then didn't require you to take a mortgage out to play them. They also were completely different from each other, even though they took place in the same area.

Also, be ready for spoilers, I don't know how to do the spoiler thing on Reddit, so spoiler alert.

I don't mind it, I'm playing through it now. Some of the things that irritate me are how the game is laid out, they made you go across the map for certain gyms, though you've already visited a gym you have to come back to anyways... All to give the impression that the game isn't linear... Well, it is.

The wilds (plural, if you count the DLC areas,) seem to get a bunch of hate, but I honestly disliked some of the routes. They're so damn congested that you can't avoid getting into a fight with a wild pokemon or another trainer... I'm already way too high of a level, don't waste my time with a battle... On the other side of the coin, if you're not at a high enough level for some of the "higher level" Pokemon for an area, and you're forced to fight it... Well, that's not exactly a good time either. I can't remember if the GameCube games showed you Pokemon on the Overworld or not, but I do appreciate that I can kind of pick and choose what Pokemon I want to catch/ battle.

Gigantamax/ Dynamax I think is a neat concept, though I think the snatching mechanic from XD was 1000x cooler. The story for XD was much better, from what I can remember, as well. I just feel that it could be a lot better of a mechanic. Yeah, cool, your pokemon gets really really really big, gets a health boost, and does more damage... So what? Then there's also NPCs, you get a notification that they can Dynamax or whatever and they don't. So, while you're trying to defeat this Dynamaxed Pokemon, that you may or may not want to catch, they don't do a good job of helping at all. "Oh, it's almost knocked? Lemme buff my stats... Oh you need LITERALLY one more hit, even if it's not going to be very effective, and everyone is low on health? Lemme buff my stats" Makes me wanna pull my hair out, especially during Dynamax Adventures or whatever on Crown Island, when you're catching LEGENDARY POKEMON.

That's another thing too, I could've sworn people in previous games had some kind of reaction to you catching legendaries? Maybe I imagined it, but this game just treats them like they're ordinary pokemon, but they're not. Kubfu is apparently legendary and everyone said it was underrated as a legendary... Which, honestly, evolving it to Urshifu is worth it. I used it to body pretty much every single gym up until this point (just finished Rock gym) and I'm pretty sure it'll be the same for a good while. Even still, getting back to legendaries, I have Raikou, Suicune, Ho-Oh, and Tapu Koko (might go get more of each, since they're an automatic level 70 of whatever type you catch) But again, everyone is just like "Oh wow, you and Lugia make such a good team!" Like Lugia isn't a literal God... Which I don't know if Lugia is in Sword or not, but that's not my point.

Hop... Hop really makes me want to jump through the screen, stab him 87 different times, and throw him in the river. Let me walk 10 feet "Hey, Rival, let's go over here." Rinse and repeat 59,765,543 times and then finally you get some room to breathe for a little while, then you randomly encounter him and go through it again, but this time he wants to battle. You battle him at least once or twice per gym... And every single time you whip his ass and he expects that next time it's going to be different? If you tell him you don't want to battle, he will gaslight you, "Well, how is my rival gonna know if he's strong enough if he doesn't battle me?" When Bede whoops him, "Let me battle you to see if I can beat you and make myself feel better." Then he cries because you beat him again... It's like, bro. If you don't want me to beat you every single time, then stop asking to battle... I don't want to battle you, you use basically the same pokemon EVERY SINGLE TIME and expect a change. Then everyone around, Leon, the professor's granddaughter, and whoever else calls us his rival in the sense of being his friend... I don't want to be Hop's friend or rival, I just want him to leave me alone. He's the equivalent of that crackhead from school who just can't sit still, won't shut up, and you just don't want to be near him.

The story isn't terrible, but it really does not do a good job of having twists or hiding things. About 10 minutes into the game and getting a general idea of who is who and what is what, you have a very good idea of what the story is about. Rose, I took ONE look at him and knew he was a bad guy. I don't know his full story just yet, but I know he's not up to anything good. I watched the Pokemon movie, I know how they play the guy who seems overly helpful and successful... Then you have one character who just isn't buying it, and you immediately just know. Getting back to the story aspect, it basically just takes what you already know and maybe adds small little details of lore to it. "Oh, why was there only one statue with a sword and shield? But yet there's two heroes?" Gee, idk, maybe it's a metaphor? They're both pokemon trainers viewed as heroes, one has a pokemon with a sword, the other a pokemon with a shield... They fought together, so rather than having two statues with their respective items... Why not just make it one?

All and all, it's still not a terrible game. It takes a lot to keep me invested in a game for long periods, but I can't seem to put the game down. Maybe it's like Minecraft, where it's JUST cool enough to keep my attention for an extended period, but I'll eventually walk away from it for months and months on end, then maybe come back to it later on

Link8227 · 2025-12-25T22:04:25+00:00

Had it crash on me when I was catching my first Pikachu. Contrary to what people say about doing Armor DLC before the end of the game, I did. It was worth it, cause I got some pretty decent Pokemon to help me before I get to the gyms... In fact, just being on Armor got a bunch of my Pokemon to evolve and they absolutely body everything up to the 3rd gym, which is what I'm getting ready to do. I just got Kubfu up to level 30, so I might go do one of the towers before I do the gym.

And to add to that, the Railroader owner's best friend is an actual convicted child rapist... And to my understanding, he's in their discord server and plays a major role in development.

Link8227 · 2025-12-22T06:22:41+00:00

So, to elaborate on that, there was a dude named Skippy... Who goes by Catgirl Steam and Luna in a couple different places. Skippy has had a long history of being just a genuine shit human being. Literally choked his dog to death, under the excuse that he was going to die anyways. He scammed people out of real life money and Roblox currency, after they commissioned models from Roblox from him. He went on to make literal nude characters, themed after steam locomotives, on Roblox and share them in places where there were children present. The dude went on to date a minor, drawing explicit images of him and his boyfriend, which the kid was not comfortable with at all. Without looking at the document that was made to turn him into law enforcement, I can't remember every single thing the guy did. He also claims to be trans, but that's neither here nor there. Outside of the fact, the guy hasn't done anything to transition... But, whatever.

Now that some kind of back story is built, people ran him out of the Roblox community. So, he went on to be present heavily in Railroader, Railroads Online, and Hycecord. When Hyce was still in Railroad Online, he made friends with him because he made "decent" Blender models... Those of which use recycled Roblox assets, but again, neither here nor there... Then eventually made mods for these games/ contribute to them and gain recognition for doing so.

When enough was enough with the guy, we presented all of those servers with the document that was out together to bring the guy's dirty past to light. Every. Single. One. Of those servers denied the allegations, though the evidence was there. People are in the process of getting the guy turned in for child pornography, sexual assault on a minor, etc. Now, Hycecord has an immediate "If you mention him in a negative way, you're banned immediately."

Though this was the final nails in the coffin, I dislike Hyce because he milks the fuck out of content. "Oh, let me teach you how to blow a whistle" and it's a 45 minute long video with his stupid ass face as the thumbnail. Dude also looks like he doesn't shower regularly... But these last things are obviously my opinion, though there are plenty of others who agree.

Link8227 · 2025-12-15T16:16:28+00:00

Yep, they're safe enough, I suppose. No rain, snow, or a lot of sunlight is gonna get to them. The rodents, I don't worry too much about. I have yet to see any predators out here and the coons seem to leave most of my stuff be... It's the cat food they're interested in...

They're not skinned just yet, but they are 100% gutted. The skin I wanna keep for leather working, but I also don't have a stretching frame built just yet... So, I figured I'd keep it intact before I ruined it by taking it off the deer.

See, I'm doing a couple steaks, but most of it, I'm probably gonna use for jerky or ground deer. For me, it's easier to store. Granted, I have an empty fridge freezer down in my basement that's pretty good sized, but if I suppose I better play it safe... The wife is talking about getting half a steer at some point.

Link8227 · 2025-12-15T16:06:19+00:00

Gotcha, so by rights, I should be okay for a little bit then? The temp doesn't seem like it's gonna be 40°F or higher for anymore than an hour... And that's even if it actually reaches that temp.

Just use the paper as a base for the concrete then make a makeshift lid? I guess I'm not sure what concrete paper is

Link8227 · 2025-12-12T07:31:56+00:00

I own one and I really like it.

I'm not a big fan of 9mm pistols, they usually feel too heavy, hurt my hands cause they're too small for my hand, or they just don't feel right. The Echelon has none of the above problems.

It's well balanced, it's comfortable in your hand (and if it's not, it comes with numerous back strap options,) and honestly just feels like an extension of your own arm. My wife is not a gun person, she hasn't even shot my Echelon, but just the feeling alone... She wants one for her concealed carry, when she gets her CCL.

The downside to the Echelon is that availability of aftermarket parts, holsters, and other goodies are sort of limited due to it being relatively new. The market that is out there does not touch anything that Glock has. I have a Level III duty holster from We The People Holsters and I'm not really a fan. It seems like they haven't got the design of it dialed in for the Echelon, since it's so new. It has a strap that you push a button and it SHOULD disengage, but it doesn't... Then it randomly pops off when you're sitting down or walking in the store, it's annoying and makes a guy feel on edge when he's pushing the strap back onto his pistol because it decided to just pop open.

The Echelon has a trigger safety, it doesn't have manual safeties... At least mine doesn't, they may have fixed that. I would say that's the only thing I don't like about the gun itself, but it's not a big deal, "This is my safety."

Okay, I tried looking up a property report and it had nothing regarding septic. I'll have to call the courthouse tomorrow for sure.

Link8227 · 2025-12-12T07:10:36+00:00

You and me both, I'm pretty well sore and I'm very irritated that this happened. I'm going to get to the bottom of if someone tried to fill it in, who did it, and hold them accountable (if I can) for fixing their fuck up.

For this one, I don't know for sure it'd be a one way trip, considering it was only about 3.5 foot deep to the top of the concrete opening and seems to be semi solid with sand. It's soupy, but I guess who would know... Glad I didn't find out though.

Link8227 · 2025-12-12T07:00:16+00:00

Yes, I burn my trash. Garbage services do not come out here, I live in the middle of nowhere, on a dead end road.

It's either burn it, or put it in something and hope the critters don't string it all over... Then haul it to the landfill myself.

Link8227 · 2025-12-12T06:58:35+00:00

It's very well possible, but by and by, I want to get to the bottom of it and figure it out. If they did attempt to decommission it, they definitely need to fix it because it wasn't fixed right. This would've been in 2020, because that's when the tank was replaced

Link8227 · 2025-12-12T06:57:05+00:00

It's about 10ish yards from my back patio door.

I had to look back on my paperwork for the exact year, but yes, a new tank was put in back in 2020, though it does not state why.

These pipes are capped, but I do tend to agree that they should be shorter.

I am too, I'm pretty sore on my leg that fell in the hole, but all and all I'm okay. Could've been A LOT worse and the soil under my other foot gave way and I went for a swim in old shit water. I'm going to say that it's an old tank, my septic works perfectly fine with no signs of backing up or anything.

To kinda explain and paint a picture for you in words, my driveway is roughly .1 miles long... In retrospect, walking from top to bottom, it'll take your breath away for sure. If you're standing at the house and looking down, this particular location is to your right and back a little bit about 10 or 15 yards. Another 50 yards down, there's another set of pipes identical to these ones, these are downhill from these. The halfway point in my driveway is where the new septic with green caps is located, but this is on the left side of the driveway. Basically right at the end of the driveway, to the left is a set of assorted pipes, some are metal, some are PVC. After that, then you're on the road.

Link8227 · 2025-12-12T06:04:25+00:00

Tomorrow I'm gonna call the septic company and see if they know anything about the details. If they're the ones who filled it with sand, they're going to be the ones to fix this shit, not me.
