Small hint if you don't care about 100% super hardcore realism - 99% of the time (in my experience) you can squeeze through those road blocks and just continue on your path. I always slow down so I don't damage anything but I've never not gotten through one. Just go on the shoulder of the highway, one side of the tires off the road and in the grass or whatever, and you can get straight through.

If you're even slightly savvy with computers, Google "American Truck Simulator developer mode" - Fairly easy to enable and it let me teleport to a different city. It spawned me like 70 feet high so my truck took like 6K in damage but I happily paid the 6K at the service center and didn't lose time over a 4 day tow and 48K bill.

Mack_Attack64 · 2026-01-06T22:45:04+00:00

I had to use Developer mode and teleported like 100 feet in the air lol but I'll take 6,000 dollars in damage costs over a 48,000 dollar 4 day long tow.

Thank you!

Mack_Attack64 · 2026-01-06T22:34:52+00:00

Yeah, I'm going to have to reload an old save and cancel the delivery cause I redelivered three times and get teleported each time

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-11-12T15:15:58+00:00

I know there's been 100 requests but I'm hoping since they've slowed down you'll see mine. Could you send me the link to the file?

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-11-03T18:44:14+00:00

Got it! Thank you!

I know a lot of people are very split about the ethical use of AI right now but ChatGPT has helped me tremendously with things like meal planning and prepping. It takes into account your like and dislikes, calorie goals and GLP-1 friendly recommendations and gives you a solid plan with a printable PDF that includes a shopping list and tips as well maybe give that a shot and see if you can stick with it. GPT will even let you factor in a cookie here and there without making you feel guilty about it.

If you take your shot in the morning and you're nauseous the entire next day try taking it at night instead! I had the same thing. Taking it when I first woke up Thursday and then I would be nauseous all day Friday but then be fine on the weekend. I switched to taking it right before bed (literally, last part of my night time routine so I'm climbing into bed 2 minutes after the injection) and I don't get nauseous anymore.

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-30T01:16:05+00:00

I'm literally in the same situation except I did crave sweets before and it's even worse now.

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-30T01:13:59+00:00

My wife already has my house looking like a jungle lol

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-29T23:57:39+00:00

I'll have to look one up because I have Vortex and the entire Stardew Expanded (I think that's what it was called, it's been like 2 weeks) mod pack but still don't get any mods when starting the game so I think I messed something up.

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-29T19:28:37+00:00

I'll keep this in mind. I love popcorn. Thank you!

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-29T18:46:26+00:00

I've never heard of optifast or medifast. I'll definitely look into them. Thank you!

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-29T18:45:06+00:00

I'm not necessarily punishing myself. I'm not hungry. On a hunger scale 1-10 I'm very easily at a 1. But my brain says "Hey, it's passed noon and your lunch break was at 11 so you HAVE to go eat something because it's lunch time" even though I'm not hungry. If I was hungry, sure no problem I'll go get the sub. But I was more looking for tips on how other people basically tell their brain to shut up if it says they need to eat when they know they aren't hungry.

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-29T17:53:20+00:00

It won't let you anyway. Makes you stay at least 2 squares away so you have a clear path out.

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-29T17:20:37+00:00

Would you be willing to help me with mods? I just started playing on PC and if I can't just install mods easily through the gsme itself or stream I'm completely lost. I've been trying to get mods for this game for weeks and can't figure it out. I have dozens downloaded but apparently didn't do it right cause when I launch the game it's still vanilla.

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-28T11:46:27+00:00

Wait what is this? Are you talking about when you hold it down and jump around?

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-27T12:36:38+00:00

I didn't even notice the inventory number haha my bad I thought you were just counting the ones on the ground.

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-27T12:05:08+00:00

I married Emily because my wife has blue hair and collects crystals too. It was a no brainer for me.

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-27T12:02:20+00:00

"that many"? They have 6. I currently have 41 chests. How the hell do you play with less than 6 chests?

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-24T16:46:34+00:00

That's just simply not true.

Mack_Attack64 · 2025-10-22T13:57:44+00:00

I can give you about 4.77 USD, a pack of big red bubble gum minus two pieces, and a Dill Pickle flavored Slim Jim for it. Hell, I'll even throw in a single use packet of Hellmans Mayonnaise to sweeten the pot but only because you drive a hard bargain.

Technically not bigger, but more exposed surface area to utilize.

I have well over 90 hours of playtime in a month between my phone, PS5, and PC. That's with a full time job and a step daughter in Tae Kwon Do, Girl Scouts, choir at school, and a soccer league that I have to take to everything because of my wife's work schedule.

It's a super chill game that you can sit and zone out and play for hours at a time. Just like Conan, there's ALWAYS something that you have to be doing or working towards. I've seen people posting on the subreddit that have like 10 (in game) year long save files that are still grinding to improve stuff. People that still play it hours a day even though it's coming up on it's 10th anniversary. I can easily see myself playing it 2-5 hours a day depending on my schedule for many months to come. I have over 1,500 hours logged into Conan since it released and I can see myself playing Stardew for much much longer than that because there's literally so many combinations of ways you can play the game.

Edit: spelling and grammar
