@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

As with a lot of people, the television series gave me the itch to play. I decided to give 76 a shot now that they had done a lot of updates. I really fucking enjoyed that game, even playing solo. It isn’t as good as the others, but it is now a decent Fallout game

It’s definitely way more fun when playing with friends, but i have fun playing solo even

DrBob, do trains w How do I learn a freight trains schedule?
@DrBob@lemmy.ca avatar

I don’t know what it’s like where you live, but as rule, who knows? There are scheduled trains which are notoriously unreliable, but also unscheduled trains. Basically whenever there is enough cargo to justify a train it gets put out on the tracks and they move it when they can. Caveat: this is for Canada and is largely based on info from some former neighbors who were conductors and brakemen.

My sympathy to your cats.

So real shit they don’t track freight trains? That seems kind of inefficient if I’m honest.

Then again I’m not a train professional so what do I know

Freight is definitely tracked but not necessarily scheduled in regular intervals. This is true for both trains and ships. Like it costs so much and the world isn’t always that consistent.

But yeah like cp/cn/CSX/ns/BNSF etc all know what’s on their lines and where.

However these lines are fully private unlike aviation so there is no requirement to publically provide any data.

For planes position data doesn’t even come from the airline but a govt mandated transponder that communicates on public frequency on the aircraft and private websites use a network of recieving radios donated or not spread across the world to provide the public with a service they also try to profit off of. This doesn’t exist for trains as far as I know. And I don’t think for ships either.

Well that puts a wrinkle in my train heist.

DrBob,
@DrBob@lemmy.ca avatar

They track them, but they’re not all scheduled. If there is enough cargo there they put on a “special” and they will move it between the scheduled trains. Train scheduling and tracking is an art unto itself.

usrtrv, do trains w How do I learn a freight trains schedule?

There are groups out there that monitor train routes. And some publish to the Web.

In theory you could hook up an software defined radio and listen to train transponders yourself and give yourself a warning if one is nearby.

yokonzo, do trains w How do I learn a freight trains schedule?

Hey coding nerds, I know you’re nearby, do you think I’d be able to use tensorflow or something to identify an incoming train with this view?

Technoguyfication,

You could, but if this is taken from another window in the same building you’ll likely only get ~10 seconds of warning.

If you could put a couple cameras a mile or so down each direction on the track you could get an earlier warning system

yokonzo, (edited )

This is taken from my window, and I’m not sure how I feel about leaving expensive equipment out in a suburban area for anyone to pick up and run off with

There’s a facebook group for that line, perhaps they could help you: www.facebook.com/groups/upbelvideresub/

PunchingWood, do games w Day 40 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Jedi Fallen Order)

I remember 100% completing Zeffo, what an absolute hellhole to navigate lol

Should definitely go for Survivor once you finished FO, it’s such a great sequel, without the insane mazes.

Infernal_pizza,
@Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world avatar

How is the PC performance now? I heard it was pretty unplayable for a while so never got round to picking it up

PunchingWood,

I played it on PS5 back when it came out, which was rough but eventually playable enough to deal with it.

There have been a bunch of performance updates since then but I don’t know how much it improved on PC. I think it’s still quite a demanding game.

caut_R,

With a 3080 it ran fine at 4k, I capped FPS to 75 which it held most of the time. „Survivor“ (the latest entry in the series) is plagued by performance issues. Fallen Order does have traversel and shader stutter though IIRC.

Toribor,
@Toribor@corndog.social avatar

Performance was ‘okay’ on my RTX2080 but I had to return it because the EA launcher was breaking steam controller input which made it unplayable.

caut_R,

The planet with the zombies and especially anything related to the weird underground city on it was worse IMO

If you didn‘t already know what path to take to end up in the specific spot in said city that you needed to go to, you were in for a ride lol

Also backtracking through the swamp area

I do remember having trouble finding specific exploration percentages in Zeffo as well though

God, now i need to rewatch that movie

theTarrasque, do games w Day 40 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Jedi Fallen Order)

I‘m starting to look forward to your post everyday! Very fun! Thank you :)

sir_pronoun, do games w Day 40 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Jedi Fallen Order)

But there’s no strife to succeed in academic or romantic life despite physical limitations depicted in this game :(

You know which game could fill that narrative hole? It’s free to download, even :)

Ansis100,

the fuck

sir_pronoun,

I’ve been commenting under his posts to play this insane game for a while

ouch, do games w Day 40 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Jedi Fallen Order)

How many hours a week do you play?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Recently I’ve started to slow down due to other obligations this last week, it used to be around 35-42 hours a week though because i didn’t have much going on

TexMexBazooka, do games w Day 41 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Sea of Thieves)

Did they have the skeleton PVP curse?

wizardbeard,

Nope, this specific green tinted skeleton is what the game uses as a fallback if there’s some issue with loading or displaying a player model.

The PvP curses look different.

TexMexBazooka,

Huh, TIL

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

nope. it’s weird. This isnt the first time it’s happened (one of my friends got a screenshot on their end of me dabbing as a skeleton), but it is the first time i managed see it

Crackhappy, (edited ) do games w Day 41 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Sea of Thieves)
@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

Keep going! Since you started doing this I have:

  • Crossed the Pacific Ocean
  • Merlt my sisters biological family
  • Gotten a very large chest tattoo
  • Gave a dog back
  • Got given a new dog
  • Got a sweet new electric bicycle
  • Quit my job
  • Got a new job

All of that is 100% true, I swear to God.

itsnicodegallo,

Why did you have to give away a dog? What made you able to get given a new one?

Crackhappy,
@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

Whoops. I misspoke. I gave a dog back, not like given away as in got rid of.

intensely_human,

Poor thing had no back

intensely_human,

Wow Sea of Thieves has added quite a bit of new content since I last played

Crackhappy,
@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

Lol! I’ve never played that.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

sometimes i forgot how many days 41 days actually are. it’s very impressive what a person can accomplish in that time frame

sag, do games w Day 41 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Sea of Thieves)

Try Factorio

intensely_human,

“Day 54 of posting screenshots of Factorio”

sag,

Ssh I want to break his streak.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

it’s on my list after i finally get around to finishing (or as close to finishing as i can get) satisfactory

Arkhive,

I’ve been really enjoying Shapez2 after getting back into Factorio in preparation for the Shapez2 release. In the end very similar, but I’d say Shapez is like creative mode of factorio and doesn’t have any blatant colonialism lol.

Zahille7, do games w Day 41 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Sea of Thieves)

Apparently skeleton skins are earnable through a list of bullshit that I was interested in a whole back. But it’s too much work for little reward imo.

The game is fun and gorgeous though. I do enjoy just dropping anchor somewhere and fishing for a while.

wizardbeard,

Yep, but this specific green tinted skeleton is what the game uses as a fallback if there’s some issue with loading or displaying a player model.

Zahille7,

Interesting

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

oh, that’s even more intersting then, because ik for a fact none of us have the skeleton curse (none of us have even touched any of the requirements). i wonder if it was a server issue
