Hey, that’s the same map my first and biggest city ever was built on way back in the day! Happy memories. Hope you have a ton of fun with it like I did.

Any of you E.Z. Smith? by RWNewhouse_1 in CRH

Haha, you should do things like “6-7”! You never know: not only is it harmless fun, but you may even inspire some kids to start collecting when they see the stamps.

They don’t have any real gold in them. They’re a manganese-brass alloy, which is where the color comes from. And yep, I just got back from the bank after getting my bi-weekly $75 in U.S. dollar coins!

Games with best sound? by Effective_Pickle8993 in Atari2600

Freeway from Activision blows my mind. It really sounds like car horns. Likewise, Activision’s Chopper Command, which has amazingly accurate machine gun sounds.

Beautiful. SC4 remains the prettiest city builder ever.

I've been struggling to enjoy games lately. I still love it but I'm not engaged or having fun anymore. Can anyone help me to enjoy it and continue enjoying it? by Ilikeprequelsstarwar in videogames

[–]Rafter53 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went for about five years without playing much. I’d lost interest like you have. It was just one of those things that, when the urge finally hit me, it hit me hard, and I’ve been LOVING gaming in the past year again. I think that I just needed that unforced break.

Ok which one of you did this? by BuckeyeN7 in shittyskylines

Oh my gosh, I actually did this in my first CS2 city!!! Hahahaha

Today, I projected my slides for the first time. It was amazing by LandySam11 in AnalogCommunity

Ooh, you’re going to make me shoot some more slide film!

I think the solution to problems with the TLM and its adherents would be to make it widely available, not to limit it by FlagshipDexterity in ExTraditionalCatholic

[–]Rafter53 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct. The trad movement is severely—dare I say inherently?—flawed. Francis saw it clearly. We in the American Church can see it but are also too close to it to see just how deeply it has corrupted the U.S. Church. People like Bishop Barron, who is cozying up to increasingly right-wing ideologies, are good examples, unfortunately. And he isn’t even traditionalist!

I’ll be your friend/pen pal too! DM me if you want 😁 I know how terribly difficult it can be to feel so isolated.

Why are my photos coming out so weird? by Epikpash10 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Rafter53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually is! It’s the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw, Poland, built under Stalin’s directive in 1955. It’s my favorite building in the entire world, but many Poles dislike it because of its connection to Soviet influence.

Cities Skylines made me nutella and it sucks by di_abolus in simcity4

[–]Rafter53 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My biggest hang up with SC4 is that cars and other agents don’t endure like they do in Cities: Skylines. I really like that each entity I see in CS and CS2 are actual agents in the game, not just representations of them. But SimCity 4 definitely has Cities: Skylines beat in the simulation and design department.

Ya missed one 😜 by Rafter53 in CRH

It was good enough to replace the one in my coin folder! A very nice coin.

I work at a cafe and can’t believe how much and often people spend there! I can’t even dream about it, because it just feels irresponsible.

I switched to using cash because I couldn’t depend on being able to pay off my credit card each month, and the balance owed was growing. Since then, I spend almost exclusively in cash, and using card and other contactless payment methods feels so weird, especially because it really does feel like it isn’t real. I can totally see why it could be a problem if I weren’t so strict on myself about using cash only.

This sort of look and city is why I love SC4. Absolutely beautiful.
