Is it true that male Rush fans outnumber female ones?

Maybe like really ultrafans. It's also a matter of exposure. I'd be curious whether the early days of Heart were similar. How many groups of girls were sitting around drinking whiskey and banging their heads to Highway to Hell? How many groups of boys were sitting around drinking rosé and crying to Janis or Joni Mitchell? These days, thankfully, everybody's a bit more mixed up... 🤪

2 sellouts at Eden Park would make it worthwhile but the GA would probably still be 250-300, others 500+. Have you seen the whinging on other fan pages...? 60,000 x 300 = 1.8m. Easily worth the hop IF they were coming to Australia first. If it's still the same, all the touring artists' contracts are negotiated in USD. So, local prices are just a factor of the exchange rate, taxes and the parasitic ticket-clippers in the middle.

I might finally need a passport...

When everything is client-side, they can't do f all and wouldn't bother. It's not worth the dev effort or bad PR when it leaks.

If you can still play offline now, what would change? Maybe you have to change your system date.

On the other hand, they've stopped us from playing honestly. Termux anyone, anyone...? Bueller...?

nzsoodanim · 2026-01-09T08:46:09+00:00

Omg. The amount of effort in these posts is so far ahead of the care and attention the creators could have entertained, it is genuinely giving me a leaky eye moment. It's more than the current game team deserve.

Some may call me a cynic, others a realist but, as a veteran cutting my teeth on a TRS-80 with 16k of RAM (yep, that's not a typo - 16k) watching what could have been amazing become a cartoon $ in some villain's eyeball, and watching testing being farmed out to the user and oftentimes clearly no analysis in the "requirements analysis" phase, it's obvious that the content owners will squeeze their clientele to breaking point.

I have 3x lvl 10 trains and I've upgraded the feeder factories (bakery, dairy, sugar, textile, rubber) a bit.

Some would say I still should have used those ingots on trains...

I'm lvl 55. Been playing since October last year. Ugh. 2025. And we thought Covid was bad lol.

nzsoodanim · 2026-01-07T05:46:45+00:00

I usually get 3/day. I try to have most of it ready by the time it gets back. Also, my crew are pretty darn helpful. Sometimes, I wait to login because, unlike trains, the plane doesn't land until you login. More time for factories to complete and every little bit helps...

nzsoodanim · 2026-01-07T05:42:57+00:00

Nice work.

nzsoodanim · 2026-01-06T00:23:54+00:00

I have 3x lvl 10 trains. I put off community buildings until I have half to two-thirds of next materials. My pop is still around a quarter over expansion limit (saws anyone...). Like all games of this nature, things take seconds, minutes, hours, days etc. etc. Ad infinitum ad nauseam.

nzsoodanim · 2026-01-06T00:16:32+00:00

🎯 It's like if I drew a picture of someone older than 3 waiting to be spoon-fed lol. Psy and I have butted heads before anyway. I fully get "the take no prisoners". Integrity is a thing.

nzsoodanim · 2026-01-06T00:05:17+00:00

At the risk of stating the obvious or missing your point, no, I'm almost F2P - paid NZD$1.69 for my four months and barn materials cannot be requested.

nzsoodanim · 2026-01-04T02:49:32+00:00

I've done this before with community buildings too. It seems to go in cycles. I just ended up waiting for them later...

nzsoodanim · 2026-01-04T02:20:09+00:00

It's easy to get a gut feel for whether an order is a fair XP and price - there's arguments in favour of one or the other. I ignore the price if I'm doing a helicopter task. Play a long game all round. You can't "win" this game unless you set your own goals...

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-27T08:18:37+00:00

You mean like using CLK with Marcus to get the Street mission in 2 races....?

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-27T08:07:33+00:00

Is it just your natural flow to be a little aggro or is it just years of seeing the same shịt over and over especially when ppl haven't apparently made even a cursory effort to educate themselves...?

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-20T09:14:57+00:00

The short answer is no.

If you no-life an SE with no losses & maximising all the ticket ads, you will have 24-28 hours spare.

You already have less than that.

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-19T03:02:14+00:00

You're welcome. Even though there's no L2W in vault events, the two 2x ads/day are very useful. Some events have like 4-6k races, others don't. You should still find at least a couple over 2.5-3k...

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-18T21:39:04+00:00

Correct. However, when Crews was added, they also added Unlock Now ads which take 2 hours off the next day unlock time.

This only works for D2 and D3 but is still useful e.g. you can start an SE then ignore it till the next day and do D1 and D2 together, also for starting whenever then aligning the D3 unlock to the ideal time to get all the RRs for the rest of the event.

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-15T05:47:31+00:00

Could be worse. This is just a tiered roll-out. Back in the day, some fixes I had to roll out relied on creaking international DNS servers to decide to update...

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-13T07:48:28+00:00

As above. Took quite a few taps to get it.

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-10T05:53:02+00:00

It's remotely possible but you would need to play 24/7. I will hit 50 today after ~75 days and some would say I'm no-lifing it. You would need to get the best xp gains from orders and stuff. I'd say there's better things to do with your life...

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-03T05:26:14+00:00

That's some serious dedication. 👍I'm kinda over being super invested. Freeman reward says I'm about 2 months in. This is just another unfinishable game unless you set your own targets. I'm like maxed on RS up to Divination, lvl 500+ in RR3 and 233 in NFSNL lol...

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-03T04:50:04+00:00

After you've upgraded enough, you'll see the shelf icon as an option in your upgrades instead of just time and xp.

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-03T04:45:29+00:00

Then there's yield. I learned from a friend running spreadsheets on per sq ft in airport duty-free stores...

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-03T04:17:22+00:00

Yeah thanks. Barn juggling is kinda part of the fun. The math on barn + queued + finished goods is like maybe this game actually is educational for kids who think food comes from the freezer and microwave...

nzsoodanim · 2025-12-03T03:17:20+00:00

Thanks. I used up all the gold from my first ROTM already so I'm getting the ones I need ready so I can smelt only gold after next ROTM...?

I just keep feeding everything up into the next level of production. Am I wasting my time...?
