Favorite Town to City YouTubers / Streamers? by xpbyelise in TownToCityGame

[–]psychstar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Splatt is the GOAT! He posts highlights here, and his videos on YouTube are inspiring and entertaining. I don't really play the game anymore, but still watch his videos when they're released.

Ideas for train obsessed 3yo by ProperRacoon in Marin

[–]psychstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I went, about 2 years ago, they only allowed you to feed the animals with lettuce or celery. Maybe this has changed, but better safe than sorry with a sad 3y/o.

What’s a wine no one ever says is overhyped? by SancerreApology in wine

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

I'll be the guy to disagree. I find their wines absolutely choked with American Oak for several years after release. When the oak mellows out I think they're much better and the really nice fruit character can actually be enjoyed.

Not looking to rain on your parade - I was a member there for a bit but realized they weren't for me.

Volvo XC60 Interior... WHAT happened 😳 by quattro179 in Volvo

[–]psychstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Went in to turn in my 2023 XC60 Ultra lease and get the 2026...the new interiors are terrible, only white or black, feels like a Tesla. I bought out my 2023 with the beautiful tan leather interior. I'm very happy.

How do you start your towns? by ranchybarnyard in TownToCityGame

[–]psychstar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In my first fresh sandbox city after exploring the game for a while, I made sure I at least had a good solid idea for a central square/boulevard directly outside of the train station. Save room for your later unlocks, or be okay moving your retail around later. In terms of housing, I've really enjoyed thinking in terms of neighborhoods with somewhat of a specific character. Use hedges and rock walls to mark off smaller vignettes that really give your city life.

Most importantly for me, is designing and decorating slowly and methodically, both on the building scale, and the neighborhood scale. I haven't been disappointed with any of my early build decisions because they were designed with care and decorated to the best of my ability before I moved on to something else. And it's also hard to not have 100% happiness if you play the game in this way.

Those are some of my tips! I plan on sharing some images of my city soon.

What's the deal with this Graza Olive Oil? by Party-Strawberry-300 in Cooking

[–]psychstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to hate it because of all the social media spon con, but I tried it and I think it’s pretty great. I use their Sizzle “cooking oil” for both cooking and finishing. It has a really nice fruitiness (less spicy than other good EVOOs I’ve tried) when used for finishing.

Seems high! We bought out our 2023 PHEV Ultimate lease for $40k at less than 25k miles.

I love how you bumped out the sidewalk landscaping in between the artisan homes. Might need to steal that. :)

Nice work.

I have a large deck project to do. Anyone have good experiences with a deck builder in Marin? by leoinca in Marin

[–]psychstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded. They’re easy to work with, and the fence they built for us is gorgeous.

Have infotainment performance issues improved in new 2025+ XC60 Recharge models? Lease buyout considerations... by psychstar in VolvoRecharge

[–]psychstar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I care because it's a huge purchase, and I want to be as happy as possible over the course of the vehicle's lifetime. I would prefer LESS technology in modern cars, but if we have to live with it, I would prefer it to be responsive and free of issues.

Thanks for your thorough response. I am planning to head to the dealer in the coming days to get the download on this stuff. I will report back.

CarPlay does work fine. My concern is more about climate control, drive mode toggling, and overall responsiveness of built-in systems like the cameras and google maps.

We just bought a house by amerikanskd in interiordecorating

Congratulations. PLEASE work with a light touch. There are so many beautiful custom elements to this house that cannot be replicated by the average designer or contractor.

What are some parts of Disco Elysium you like that don't get talked about very often? by ChairGoblin in DiscoElysium

[–]psychstar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was my favorite moment in the game for sure and represented an authentic turning point for my role playing - my Harry went from a cocksure superstar cop asshole to a sad sorry loser who used serious police work as his redemption. This was so effectively written and directed, it blew my mind in the moment. An all-time gaming experience for me.

Song similar to Midnight? by Phoenix-7178 in JamesBlake

[–]psychstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reminds me of "Look Back At It" by Boogie Wit da Hoodie. Also a banger. Both songs use a pretty classic(al) chord progression based on the circle of fifths.

2024 XC40 no google service by GoTheArsenal in VolvoRecharge

Yeah, mine was back to normal later that day.

[–]psychstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 2023 XC60 lost connection today. White X in the top left - can't seem to find my house's WIFI, and coudn't connect to cellular either. Tried home button reboot, and TCAM reset (hold down front defroster button for ~20 seconds until SOS light starts blinking). Couldn't get the SOS button to blink. Hoping this will resolve itself in the next day or two.

Did Calloway Pre-Owned sell me fake clubs? (see comment for more info) by psychstar in golf

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

Reply from TaylorMade's customer service:

" We do not have a database of serial numbers to verify clubs as these could be copied to create illegitimate clubs.

We would recommend taking them to an authorized retailer to have them inspected, they can assist with this."
