Development on this game is currently really slow cause I'm mainly working on another project right now. That one I haven't announced yet, but it will be pretty cool as well :)

So I fixed the performance issue with my sandbox game.
The game looks exactly the same as before (in fact this is an old screenshot ;) ), but now blocks can be placed without creating massive lag spikes \o/

A screenshot of my snadbox game. A chunk of simple terrain is floating in a gray void. The terrain is a simple set of hills, made up of stone and topped with dirt and grass.

Everybody - AND I MEAN EVERYBODY - should read this investigation into that hell hole Twitter and how this nine-month study and in-depth analysis found that it amplifies right-wing and extreme content (aka, the Nazi bar)

This is *very* good investigative journalism and should ring alarm bells.

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

The corporate media keeps insisting that "HEY EVERYBODY, A RICH GUY SAID SOMETHING!" is worthy of news coverage but in most cases it really isn't.

New Yorkers had an election yesterday and a lot of them were fine with "Mamdani's talking points." I'm sorry Richie Rich isn't happy, but who cares?

Citadel CEO Griffin says the people of NYC deserve better than Mamdani's talking points

Ken Griffin, the CEO of Citadel, said on Wednesday he prays the policies that Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani uses to lead New York City are different from his talking points.

The quintessential aesthetic of fascism

4 frame comic. 1st frame shows a frame from the ai video of trump dumping shit from a plane. Text reads : here's why i think ai art is The quintessential aesthetic of fascism.
2nd frame shows a frame from the trump Gaza ai video. Text reads : Its the closest that oligarchs can get to artists' power to create universes out of thin air.
3rd frame shows ai picture of trump as a pope. Text reads : they see art as a threat because it questions and deciphers the myths, dogmas, lies and illusions that fascism is built upon.
4th frame shows a frame from ai video of mysk dancing with trump. Text reads : ai art being soulless, depthless and uncritical is a feature... not a bug.

Yes, Israel killed 60000+ Palestinians in Gaza to help Mamdani win the mayoral race in New York! Isn't that obvious?

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things.

we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

Fiona Robertson @fionaswriting.bsky.social · 1d

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?

Closeup of the tip of the peninsula. The castle and cemetary ruins have been surrounded with a big city park, and the development around it is almost exclusively low density housing. The coastal quay is lines with seaside villas and waterfront shops.

A screenshot of my Cities: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the tip of the peninsula. A city park surrounding the castle and cemetary ruins can be seen in the center, surrounded by hundreds of single family homes and villas.

The tip's quay can be seen spanning across the image, lined with seaside villas and waterfront shops, as well as a pier providing leasure activity. The peninsula's tip's sloped geography forced the construction of a terraced layout of this area.

From now on, the town will have to expand into the mainland, competing with farms and industrial areas, build bridges to get across the bay, or build upwards. Only time will tell how exactly the city will develop, but whatever happens will not be without its pains.

CodedStingray @codedstingray.bsky.social · 1d

Trinity Gate has just reached a huge milestone: it finally reached the tip of the peninsula and therefor built up the entirety of it!

Although this is of course a huge achievement, it also comes with a challenge: the times of easy expansion are over.

#CS2 #CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

A screenshot of my Cities: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing the entire town. The tip of the peninsula is now completely built up, with the only vectors for further expansion being into the mainland in the bottom left of the image, or across the bay in the top and right of the image.

(Other low rent housing was built before, but there I used the low-lying buildings from the NL and FR packs ^^)

CodedStingray @codedstingray.bsky.social · 1d

More city growth! The town is creeping further towards the tip of the peninsula. Now, the town proper also has its first connection with the coast, creating a nice waterfront with a new shopping district.

Also includes the first low-rent highrise :)

The industrial quay in the bottom right transitions into a recreational quay in the center of the image. Multiple waterfront shops as well as the first large low rent tower can be seen among a sea of single-family homes.

Yesterday, in the village of Kruglyakivka, Kharkiv region, Russian occupiers killed two elderly men and their little dog with FPV drones, while they were walking along the road under a white flag.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

This is the Heath Pub. The building is pretty new, but already becoming a trendy meeting spot for young people and a hot spot for political and philosophical discussions.

Trinity Gate is growing ever further towards the tip of the peninsula. The town also managed to finally aquire some land west of the industrial area, allowing it to expand away from the town center instead of towards it.

Also bonus shot of the industrial waterfront :)

#CitiesSkylines2 #TrinityGate

A screenshot of my Cities: Skylines 2 city Trinity Gate showing a bird's eye view of the town. Further expansion towards the tip of the peninsula can be seen, although the tip itself, including the first castle, are still untouched so far. The industrial area also expanded westwards.
