1 the-sims4 question, 2k views in 20 hours... I think this'll be a big one

all my traffic theory needs to be retested

no cheetah yet

forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/9381430.page traffic patch drops

I feel like I'm missing out, I've never had a house in a street in my cities

same for returning shoppers and available residential

if incoming commuters have to go to the other side of the map to reach available work, that first intersection will send them the same way for quite some time

so, the intersection decisions don't change until workers reach destinations

@YiJiang'sEvilClone that glassbox article is really good. I think that clears up the traffic decision making... workers going through an intersection examine the "gravity" of the available work buildings. The only way that gravity changes, is as work buildings fill.

ah, suppose so

that's the rss reader I use

I'm trying a strategy of 3 way intersections, mixed road types, avoid low wealth high density residentials, and put high wealth buildings at the heavy traffic points

what's so great about avenues? just one extra lane doesn't seem to help much

cross a high density street with a medium density street... you get stop signs on the mediums and no stop on the high

@kalina have you tried mixed road types?

select means, there isn't always two versions.

They generally say: "that looks gross, I use Chrome" and then slink away

great

are you at all interested in the problem? or just your fun

did you follow one of the links and click on the triangles?

(do the page elements work for you at that url with your 2 year old browser?_

If I can't get my responses and new questions by tag at a single url, I'll just visit the main page for responses, and use my rss for questions by tag

I haven't tested it with other browsers, so, might be broke for them too

that's fine, I'm not demanding anything, just reporting a bug

Hi badp

24 hours = 1 budget month

I was able to visit a city that someone else was playing. Checking their budget showed enough info that I worked out the game's time units

I tried even Oceanic... it's "available" green and same problem

@MBraedley SimCity: server troubles - can't join/start any games. I'll try later tonight. Going to play TribesAscend while waiting (an always-online game that people don't smear).

@badp I understand the pessimism, and my 1AM self that was refreshing the digital download screen agrees... but for now - excited

Simcity update: download complete, patching complete, servers up. off to work I go.

reddit is saying 9pm pst (so midnight est)

I'd ask gaming.se, but... answer is useless in some number of hours

howdy Bridge, I'm wondering if anyone knows when Origin will open up SimCity downloading (I just pre-ordered)

@pixel just announced on mmo-champion, blackfallows no longer accepted at ink trader, starlight inks available.. Tuesday patch

don't judge a series by the first episode. Just grab a random one from season three

and I will not go google the law

@MartinSojka what you're saying is true for many games, but not for wow... to do so is piracy

I just googled "What is software piracy"

"Software piracy is the practice of making, selling, or using software in a way not allowed in its user agreement."

"Software piracy refers to the unauthorized duplication and use of computer software"

breaking a license is the definition of piracy

it may not be a criminal act, but you are still breaking a software agreement - aka pirate

the basis by which blizzard can demand damages is a legal one.

why do you keep bringing up lineage when we're talking about wow?

you can get the client, but you can't use it to connect to private servers without breaking the agreement

so, you have to write a server and a client and make your own art assets. now, is that wow anymore?

in order to play, you have to have a server and a client. the client can't be modified to connect to your private server (violates the client software agreement)
