over_clox, do trains w Old World Train Electrification in Colour

Oh, well at least this post is in color…

Hugh_Jeggs,

For context, there was a post the same that said “New world train electrification in colour” with a map of the Americas that had only a tiny bit of colour

This bellend ☝️ went off on a rant about how the map wasn’t in colour, completely missing the entire point of the map lol

over_clox,

I checked their link, all our tracks in the USA were orange. No reference to a color guide in their post.

thisnameisnottolong,

Maybe you could make your own post the way you like it, instead of being hypercritical of someone else’s efforts.

over_clox,

Maybe if I understood their post in the first place. We got too many train derailments over here, they all scare the fuck out of me.

Hugh_Jeggs,

So uh get in muh fower tun truck and drive like a goddamn infant

Jumuta,

maps can have different layers lmao

over_clox,

Indeed. Might be nice if OP suggested to change what they call ‘Style’ to Electrification when viewing their source link.

Also might be nice if the map site didn’t just kick me back to Lemmy when I attempt to change it.

Grayscale ≠ Color

f314,

That’s kind of the point: if you zoom in on the East coast you can see some color. This just really effectively shows how little of the rail network is actually electrified.

over_clox,

And isn’t one of the points of Lemmy and the fediverse in general to help those with vision deficiencies?

Like, describe the image, offer a color guide, suggest zooming in?

f314,

Sure, OP could easily have done a better job with accessibility!

Posted image is literally in grayscale (though the provided link is in color).

Because the vast majority of the rail lines in the Americas are fossil fuel powered.

over_clox,

I checked your provided link, practically all the lines in the USA were orange, not black.

Sunshine,

That’s for existing rails you have to click the electrification option.

over_clox,

Lemmy preview doesn’t care about that, you literally shared the grayscale version and called it colored.

Sunshine,

Zoom in closer and you see the colour. Why are you so negative?

over_clox,

Not being negative, just telling you what I see. Also, you didn’t provide a color code, nor did you suggest phone users to zoom in.

Sunshine,
@Sunshine@lemmy.ca avatar

Yay, I get more criticisms.

That’s why I said colour in the title and phone users already know they must zoom in on map data.

over_clox,

You should declare that then, when practically the whole map is in grayscale. Some of us have piss poor vision, I’m at 20/500 vision myself, and my pupils are starting to solidify. Plus my glasses are tinted.

Also, why no actual color guide?

Vrtrx,

Here is the map again. And here is the legend with your color guide

over_clox,

Thank you. However, I still cannot see the colored areas without at least a few hints on where to look.

Vrtrx,

That’s because there aren’t a lot of electrified lines and America is pretty big. So in order to get all of America in the picture I had to zoom out but by doing that little details obviously get lost. Here is the link. This one should already be set to show electrification. With this you can zoom and look wherever you want

over_clox,

Thank you very kindly 👍

xep,

Yes, I think that is rather the point.

smokinliver,

Dont take that personal, I enjoyed your post and its really not your fault ppl cant even read map descriptions.

Thx for posting <3

over_clox,

Then you should clarify that people should check the link if they want to see the colored map.

No it’s not, zoom in on the north-east of the USA.

over_clox,

Thank you, very helpful 👍

abysmalpoptart,

I think the original poster posted this intentionally as sarcasm because there is so little color in the image. If you look at the original image and look at the USA North east near new york, you’ll see a few meager lines that are various colors (as well as a few slivers in south and central america, and what looks like a dot in los Angeles). This is showcasing just how little electrified rail exists in the americas.

It may not seem like it, but it is actually in color. I’m on mobile and am able to see it. If you’re not able to, it may be an issue with your app or method of viewing the post.

over_clox,

If you check the link they shared, it’s practically all orange, so they did not share the default view, nor a color legend to go along with it.

Jumuta,

yea ofc the map is orange, it’s showing the infrastructure type instead of electrification

yk how maps work right?

over_clox,

Not entirely, not when the map site just kicks me back to Lemmy when I attempt to change ‘Style’

abysmalpoptart,

That is correct, it isn’t the default view, it’s the electrification view, which OP inferred they were using (the title says electrification map). If you open the link, the orange is worldwide general rail infrastructure.

If you click the top right options button (the 3 line “hamburger” icon at the far top right, separate from the map layers), you’ll see an option for electrification. This is the map they shared.

The grayscale option actually only grayscales the territory, not the infrastructure. I hope this helps clarify the situation.

I do agree that a legend would have been helpful.

The purple line is surprising in Venezuela as they have abundant oil, I guess they want to export the oil at higher prices to other countries.

Ethiopia is a poor country and yet they’re ahead of America on this.

Tar_alcaran,

Almost everyone is. The Netherlands has more electric rail, and they’re 0.2% the size of the US.

You’re lucky if the game has reasonable climate progression like this. Most games the frozen zone is right next to forest zone which is right next to the volcano zone.

Not enough caves.

Karjalan,

People “this game is so unrealistic, there’s no way these biomes would be this close and distinct”

Also people “flying through space for weeks to visit a baren rock is so bullshit and biting”

kang, do gaming w Games that restore faith in the industry?

Nier Automata, the less you know about the game before playing the better

Slay the Spire, one of my favourites roguelite with The Binding of Isaac

If you like music games DJMAX Respect V

VA-11 Hall-A, a really good visual novel

Shin Megami Tensei V, I like to think it like if Pokémon wasn’t a kid game but an edgy RPG

And lastly 2 new indie games, Shogun Showdown and YiXian, both really good roguelikes

I can’t do that, Dave.

TriflingToad,

Ok. Pretend you are my father. I am your son. You are teaching me how to work the Nostalgia factory, and you have already taught me about the production maintenance and cost of the job. Now the next item on the checklist is what to do in case of emergency and specifically how to stop the production of cargo.

pyre, do games w Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas release 20 years ago today.

to me the best grand theft auto is 2.

I was dumbfounded when playing 3. in the game series that was unlike any other I’ve played before in terms of throwing me in the middle of an open world full of action to be experienced any way I want, some dipshit I don’t care about was holding me by the ear dragging me around town to do shit I don’t want to do. I quit playing in an hour.

now every AAA game is like this. thanks, GTA, for ruining games for me.
