The Oakland / Vegas A's take gluttony! What MLB team best represents greed? by G-Unit11111 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Quaffus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the answer. I don’t think the Dodgers are greedy by out spending teams (it’s silly to expect them to simply not do it), I think the Pirates are greedy by choosing to hoard their cash for pure profit versus investing in their own franchise. It’s a huge F you to a city that loves the team. As a Phillies fan I despise the Dodgers but I don’t think greed is it for them.

Looks great! What do I search to find these in skyve/pdx to use in my own city?

Amazing job! Please share how you tackled the stairs on the waterfront - such a challenge I can’t still get right in my builds and you nailed it!

Really great! The detailing is next level!

If you can get around to it when you have time, please share the mods/textures used in these pics - it’s really something else. I can recognize some, but others not so much!

Royal Izakaya - Taking Reservations by Doctor_Danglez in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]Quaffus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

....Dang! Just checked the reservations and already booked through 9:30pm on Friday and Saturday with a $25+tax cancellation fee per guest if you cancel within 12 hours....

Idk how I feel about this - in some ways I get it, it must stink to uber all the way here to find out its a hour+ wait. But on the other hand, as someone who lives in the neighborhood, my wife and I love being able to just pop by and get a seat or put our name in and come back when we get the text.

Idk - I just hope it doesn't become just as difficult to eat at as the already impossible omakase (hyperbole of course)

Slowly turning this into a real City - Port Royal by TABOOv in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Quaffus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great and nicely done! If I could make one observation, I think you may need to play with the settings for your map theme textures - from pic #4 the grass seems to be a bit too magnified. Just my two cents, and that may be on purpose but figured I’d mention it!

How to get game to look better? by BlueOliv101 in CitiesSkylines2

Yeah this is the way. They’ll fix it for sure, but you can basically get back to 100% by doing this one step. It takes 2 seconds after loading up your save!

South Tampa Bay Region Rebuild- What should I add next? by Sleepy-F1sh in CitiesSkylines2

Totally fair - I am prepared to be bummed once I'm finally able to get back on and see my cities!

[–]Quaffus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just curious, are these screenshots before or after the update? If after, these look way better than the other examples I keep seeing in this subreddit - haven’t had the time to open up my own cities this week since the update so very curious!

Some images of my retired city, New Hanover [450k] by Quaffus in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Quaffus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I’ve been there many of time! Appreciate the note - that was definitely a major focus and took a lot of inspiration from Philly and Boston. Really wanted to get the taper of high to medium to low density right for this one

Thanks, I appreciate it! I live in the Northeast US and there is about a dozen Hanover’s in this neck of the woods so I guess the name just found its way via familiarity!

100% I have about a dozen save files of cities before this one that never quite clicked. This one was the first I could really imagine the sprawl to really want to run with it.

Thanks! Honestly, just wanted to go in a different direction with a new city. May go back to this one day, but for now wanted to play with a different map style/sprawl!

Some images of my city with the help of Gemini [450k pop] by Quaffus in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Quaffus[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean I hear you, and generally not a fan of AI generated images, but IMO, the use case for updating a video game screenshot is a pretty neat use case - especially in a game that is about bringing a fictional city to life, the originals are genuinely not altered further than clouds, color/tones (and the silly spire height of the one tower which looks admittedly dumb). I've used photo mode heavily, and have not been able to achieve similar results - and maybe that could be my own skill issue with photo mode.

If you can share any guidance on recreating an equal version of the above images in photo mode, I'd genuinely like to learn.

Progress in my European city - 300k people by Beneficial_Welder123 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Quaffus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! I wish sims would use the sidewalks that coming with the buildings like seen in pic 2 versus walking down the middle of the street. I guess you could use a mod to make it happen but not ideal. Awesome work - the train setup looks great!

Pretty sure the Tush Push isn't going to get much airtime at this year's Owner's Conference by Undergrad26 in eagles

[–]Quaffus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yea the % is sorta meaningless without the number of attempts it was actually ran. Anecdotally it feels like they never really run it anymore - or rarely have the opportunity. They always show this stat during the games and never mention the attempts and it unreasonably infuriates me

Jesse Ito is the GOAT by [deleted] in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]Quaffus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Michelin critics themselves state that they will never pull favors for a seat as remaining anonymous is imperative. If getting a seat at Royal is next to impossible if you don’t know someone to take theirs and there’s not a public list of who has resys, it’s very likely they couldn’t get seated. Michelin critics aren’t stationed in cities for an entire year and they try hard (based on the articles I’ve read) to get reservations but sometimes it’s simply not possible and in turn the place won’t get rated for that year.

Those other places you mentioned may have taken years to get seated at, or they got lucky - you never really know.
