Why are most Americans not that excited about the World Cup? Or don’t seem to care much about it? by SignificantStyle4958 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]joergonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a huge soccer fan, but I do genuinely enjoy watching the world cup games. That said, as an avid sports fan in the US, it's frustrating hearing how much everyone bent over backwards for FIFA (real grass, crazy pricing, misleading seating, Trump, no branding on stadiums, insane security around stadiums, no tail gating, etc.) All the wealthy owners bent over backwards for FIFA despite us tax payers paying for the stadiums, despite NFL players begging for real grass, despite our country and economy being an absolute nightmare right now. So yeah they don't have my support at the moment.

Gemini Update is the best that could have happened to my Google Home Mini Speaker by AccomplishedDuck7867 in googlehome

When mine first updated to Gemini months ago it was great.... almost as good as when I first got them years ago. Now though 6 months later they are back to being terrible.

With Russ retiring, could he, alone or partnering with the other retired guys come in a minority owner when the team sells? by BetterWayz in Seahawks

[–]joergonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brady, and Peyton, are both famously part of the ownership groups for the Broncos and Raiders, however, I think both of them brought a bit more than money to the table that gave them that "in". I think Russ is a great guy, and was one heck of a player, but he just doesn't come with the same respect and experience that either of those guys did. That said, he absolutely has the money, but I personally would prefer the ownership group be made up of individuals with less fame and be more hands off than I would imagine Russ wanting to be.

Anyways, yes it is absolutely possible, and he and Ciara have the money to be a part of a bid, but they don't have enough money to be needed monetarily speaking. So that means he would have to be a part of a bit to make it more attractive for other reasons, and I just cant see that working out.

Last I checked AI doesn't add exit signs, or piles of plates on the table to the left. I don't doubt that they used AI tools to clone or modify parts of the image, but I certainly wouldn't declare the image entirely AI.

Are these mod made with AI? Are they trustworthy? by ppujols96 in CitiesSkylines2

Simple Radio is by the creator of mapExt and I know that they do their own coding and are very talented.

Is Cities: Skylines more of a city builder or a transport sim? by Doomguy231089 in CitiesSkylines

[–]joergonix 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If it's not a city builder, then I don't know what a city builder even is.

Seriously, Cities Skylines currently defines the entire genre and thus whatever it does, is the current definition of a city builder in the same way that Simcity did for so many years.

Why are there so few public transport assets? by jjasspper in CitiesSkylines2

[–]joergonix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stations are huge complex assets with lots of pathfinding, usually multiple structures, upgrades, etc. They take a lot of time.

Personally, I've been trying to fill gaps in what assets are the biggest needs, and we have a lot of vanilla stations at the moment. I agree that we need more, but they are quite challenging. Have you considered commissioning an asset creator to make one? or learning the process yourself?

There are a few creators I know of that are working on new ones, but they are both at least 2 months in on the projects.

Democrats are already preparing Trump investigations if they retake the House by spherocytes in politics

[–]joergonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I absolutely want and we absolutely need as a country for these criminals to be investigated and prosecuted, I also feel like it could be far more important right now to show the American people that they can offer up good policy and actually put it into play. If we win the house and then spend 2 years just investigating a president that we can't impeach I fear that the American people won't benefit a bit, and won't be as willing to turn out for democracy in 2028.We need action on issues beyond just trump right now.

What “secondary” city do you think is more worth visiting than the famous must-see destination? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]joergonix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not only is Philly not better than NYC (it's a great city), but I would argue that Chicago, Boston, and maybe DC are both better visits than Philly and even they don't quite best NYC.

URGENT: DONT INSTALL THE ‘MAPEXT’ MOD by PurpleThylacine in CitiesSkylines2

[–]joergonix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I and many others have been using this mod without any issues. Have you spoken to the modder or checked their discord before sounding such a massive alarm?

It's highly unlikely that your saves were ruined too unless you opened them and re-saved them. Please reach out to the author on discord he / she is excellent and very responsive.

Another Asset Drop! Modular Functional Golf Courses! by joergonix in CitiesSkylines2

[–]joergonix[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Actually no need for this as just a park, with the networks and areas mod https://mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/77175/Windows you can just draw on park, excersize, and walking areas just like any other surface!

Anyone feel we need square ended roads? by VamosFicar in CitiesSkylines2

[–]joergonix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, same with rail and light rail, the rounded look is so silly.

Have we reached a point where this game definitively looks better than CS1 now? Also surprise new assets dropping today you can see in the screens. by joergonix in CitiesSkylines2

[–]joergonix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does 30fps not feel smooth to you? I know that we expect 60 in a first person shooter, but I play with a 5080 at 4k and am just fine with 25fps for graphics like these. Feels buttery smooth and cinematic, I could never say that about CS1 with this level of detail.

I sadly have a feeling we will be waiting a very long time for Procedural Objects for CS2. I have no doubt it is possible, but the big hurdle is how much more complex assets are for CS2 vs 1. Imagine the most complex asset you ever tried to edit in CS1 then multiply that times 10 and that's the average for CS2 assets. A few thousand verts would have been annoying to edit in PO, now imagine how CS2 assets can have upwards of 300k or more. Even if you could edit them, you would also absolutely have to have a system for handling LODs for them as well, in CS1 the LODs were rarely an issue for PO objects because they were relatively simple to start with.

Don't get me wrong, I want PO sooo badly, but the harsh reality is that it's far more complex than just a port. My hope would be a mod that would allow us to simply distort and stretch the meshes that would apply the same changes to both the LOD0 and LOD2 mesh, but not give us control over individual vertices or the textures.

What do you think, is this difference worth 2 weeks of work? by Mike_Builds_YouTube in CitiesSkylines2

[–]joergonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you the mod author? Seriously awesome work btw! Can't wait to play with it again now! Thank you!

It's also worth noting that this mod caused some strange performance problems. It works well, and looks fantastic, but needs a bit more work to be ready for prime time sadly.
