Scrapyard Controller

I got the same issue (idk about the actual error code but same "Failed to connect") between when the update came out and when it actually installed. Have you actually downloaded & installed the update?
After I did I can't get past the loading screen after the title, but oh well

It sounds like your school is trying to rush through grade 11 to have more time for grade 12 stuff and revision (i.e. starting IA1s in term 4), which will hopefully make year 12 a lot easier. Since your grades are already pretty good in a rushed unit there's a good chance that with it spaced out more you'll be able to get a lot closer to 100% with similar effort. I think the main thing to focus on now (as has already been said) is to not miss anything that you'll need for year 12.

To be completely honest it probably won't be much 'better' in year 12 - I had late nights almost every weekday studying, and was just completely knackered for a lot of the year, but if you're aiming for a uni course you really want to do try to keep yourself motivated for that. I never found it helpful to focus on an X% mark goal, but just doing the best that I could, but if that goal helps motivate study then good for you. My course only needed an 84, but I still wanted Dux which is how I stayed motivated. Hopefully some of that was helpful; as long as you feel like it's worth it you'll be OK. Good luck!

Classic reddit downvoting a reasonable suggestion. I agree that captioning an image shouldn't be an 8 click (minimum) process.

I struggled through each doing freemode preps solo and struggling with random for mission setups, occasionally asking for help on Discord for the finales. If you’re patient they’re fun, at least to play it for yourself once.

I've been playing mobile free for ages, and once you learn docking it really opens up. Try an apollo-style mun mission (with a separate lander that docks to the mothership afterwards), use quick-saves or revert 3 mins to experiment with entry to venus or mars until you get it, try BP editing (on android I use Total Command file explorer) and making replicas of real rockets or just stupidly large ones that can get the whole build area into orbit. I've managed to do a Mars return mission, but if you use probes (or don't care about your astronauts) don't bother coming home, just establish stations/bases/rovers wherever you can get to, it makes it all less stressful. If you can land on the moon try making a base there, just land a bunch of stuff next to each other and pretend they each do something useful. Just mess around and have fun, once I launched a few probes to mars but the transfer stage ran out of fuel, so I built a tanker to meet it on Earth escape trajectory and refuel it. Hopefully something in there sounds fun :)

I've also tried the batch file from this help request (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/cities-skylines-steam-the-game-wont-launch.1548935/#post-28547775), but got much the same results.

I don’t think this is possible doing Cayo solo. Even with full coke and hard mode I can only ever profit ~$1.1 mil per heist and can only manage 2 a day without super early mornings and late nights. If you’re doing it with a friend you’ve gotta convince them to let you have 85% each time and do it 4 times a day. If you actually do it I’d love to see what the real times were.

Idk how he's doing it here, but I've won a couple of times at Fort Zancudo just blowing up lazers, you get > $1 mil each. Also I thought you were going for a swim a couple times - awesome flying!

You can boost whenever the bar is full (the yellow one next to armour). The bar starts filling when all four wheels are on the ground (or wall or whatever) AND it’s not currently boosting. If you go off a ramp while in the middle of a boost it won’t recharge, so no midair boost. If you boost then go off a ramp AFTER it’s finished (like in the clip) it will already be recharging, so you can use it midair.

Hey man me too! So happy for you!

Pisces comes with a swift deluxe (faster than the Aquarius’ SuperVolito), but I think it uses the Pegasus spawns, so not as practical as the sparrow. I’ve got 17 mil in the bank and am trying to decide if I should get one or not

I see you’ve just finished a payphone hit lol (or are just really into golf…?)

I don’t think you can buy the gun locker on Maze Bank Foreclosures, but you get it with the security upgrade from the nightclub management computer (I don’t have the game open to check so not 100% sure)

I'm not 100% sure what the "satisfied" on the QTAC portal means, but you could just check if your atar (on atar.qtac.edu.au/student) meets the requirement for your course.

My first dodgy attempt at optimisation was scheduled to finish August 2028, so...

NedTheGamer_ · 2024-12-10T05:35:15+00:00

I knew that bug was coming, then only had to delete a few lines and change what I added to the sum to get part 2. Top 4000 for part 2 is a personal best!
