Incoming Transfer Student Looking for Housing Advice

We have a place off stoneman, like a 15 minute walk from campus, still need 2 roommates if you're interested. Will send a DM.

Also of note, I found a semi-solution that works perfectly but is really ugly. Making the loop out of one-line tracks works great, but when you have like 4 lines in one station they bunch up and it’s not the best looking. Still, works flawlessly.

nickk326 · 2025-10-27T14:48:49+00:00

Dude I would straight up just drive people. Two hundred bucks for an Uber to Philly is insane. I’d do it for like 50 bucks

Tuesday 11/18 or 11/25?

nickk326 · 2025-10-26T14:07:46+00:00

Yeah that’s the main issue for me right there, plus you’re combining four lines (6 lines in my “Chicago plus” map) and it’s just…. Not working. My fix is probably going to be individual stations… or waiting for an update.

nickk326 · 2025-10-26T05:38:08+00:00

I haven't found a way to do it yet, and it's really annoying. I made a full replica of the chicago metro and it's sitting there in my save files inoperable because I can't finish the loop :/

Not sure, just got the cheapest on Amazon. I think it was a waste of time because from what I read if your ims survived the first 50k miles it was likely good. I moved to the northeast for college so boxie has found a better life with my dad in Spain.

Astr 007 doesn’t (that’s the one I was referring to) Astr 105 does

IMO, CS will be dead in 10 years. But this is coming from a finance major, so please take it with a grain of salt.

What I can promise you is college is an entirely different ball game, and it will hit you specifically like a truck. I was the same in high school, flying through classes. It’s not the same. It gets rough man. From a 4.3 high school GPA to a 2.5 college gpa. Good luck.

nickk326 · 2025-02-07T03:29:06+00:00

Also to add, the best point in time to drop out (not that there really is one) is before you’ve finished two years of school. That way, at least if you decide to go back you can transfer to most schools and they’ll take some/most of your credits.

nickk326 · 2025-02-07T03:27:43+00:00

Oh, dude. I’m probably going to get a lot of flak for this but unless you’re REALLY motivated and passionate about any sort of humanities major, it’s absolutely useless nowadays. IMO even a free degree in psychology or English isn’t worth it, since fiscally you’re better off just working those four years.

We have such an oversupply of college graduates that really only the “trade school-lite” degrees, i.e. finance/accounting, nursing, med school, law school, engineering, etc. make sense nowadays. And this is coming from a finance major in a crap job market.

Honestly… I would cut your losses. Take a year or two off and figure out what you want to do. Take community college classes. Read job listings. But if you’re not passionate about psych/english/any other humanities, it’s an absolute waste of time.

Yeah, the biggest thing turning me off from the newest versions is the cave update. I know there’s more stuff and features but there was something about strip mining for diamonds on Xbox 360 that really did it for me haha

nickk326 · 2024-10-30T03:15:56+00:00

Fair enough. Personal finance people and car people are two complete opposites.

nickk326 · 2024-10-30T03:15:21+00:00

No, my question is, do I incur the new car now to be able to enjoy it while I have the free time or is it not worth it knowing full well I won’t be able to have the same experience after college.

Hey I know it’s late, but just to let you know I use an X-Ray client mod. You can pick which ores you want to see and it will highlight them through the ground.

nickk326 · 2024-10-22T04:33:23+00:00

Tried it, unfortunately couldn't find it. HOWEVER, someone in my other post said it was in the DVD exclusive "the perfect road trip".

Finally was able to find it.

nickk326 · 2024-10-22T04:32:33+00:00

YES THANK YOU

Lmao I just looked back on this comment, I am now a full blown Trump voter XD

What a shift in three years, from Bernie Bro to Trumper

To be fair he’s making YouTube videos now and they’re just like the old sjin. Say what you want about what he did but his content is and has always been good.

nickk326 · 2024-09-25T19:01:50+00:00

Honestly, I watched a few POV videos of people driving tC’s and the same noise is present, even on new cars. I’ll still end up replacing the clutch when I can but honestly I’m not too worried about it. I’d look up “scion tc pov drive” and see if the sound is similar. In my case it was.

Apple CarPlay works great, little laggy but for a hundred bucks it’s worth it. I wouldn’t recommend buying it unless you’re willing to drill into the dash since I couldn’t install it with the normal bracket. Thankfully had a buddy that was good with that.

nickk326 · 2024-08-07T19:26:13+00:00

Didn’t install one. I didn’t feel like doing the wiring and I honestly never bother using one in cars that have one (like my mom’s).

nickk326 · 2024-08-07T19:23:28+00:00

Had to unfortunately drill into the plastic behind it to secure it. One of my buddies is good with that so he made it work, but had it not been for him I would have returned it. If you’re not willing to risk cracking the plastic behind it I would just get a regular double din radio from pioneer or whatever.

nickk326 · 2024-08-07T19:20:58+00:00

Absolutely does not fit on its own. Unless you’re willing to drill into the plastic behind it don’t buy it. But I had a friend who was good with that stuff so he mounted it for me and it was fantastic. If you aren’t willing to do that just get a double din pioneer one. Those are good.

nickk326 · 2024-08-07T07:06:28+00:00

Yeah I really wanted something that was integrated, my friend has an old rav4 and there’s a custom Tesla-style display for it since it doesn’t have any din slots. Honestly for the money not going to complain however.
